After many years of talks and preparation, Ethereum mining stopped. Nearly all the cryptocurrency miners began to panic as GPU mining profitability dropped several times. This happened because the hashing power engaged with the ETH mining was set free and many hardware switched to mine other cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Ethereum is #2 cryptocurrency in the World. It was the main coin mined by the graphics cards.
