RE:Proof of Stake for ETHhttps://cointelegraph.com/news/hive-expands-ether-mining-by-20-not-worried-by-proof-of-stake CT: What is your plan for your GPU mining operations when Ethereum transitions to proof-of-stake? Will you be diverting your GPUs to mining other cryptocurrencies? FH: While proof-of-stake, or potentially other consensus mechanisms to come, may exist in parallel with the current standard proof-of-work we believe that mining will always play a fundamental role. The current proposal for Ethereums shift to proof of stake from proof of work has a number of unknown variables, including uncertainty over timing, execution and ultimate adoption; and there is not yet a definitive plan that is established and approved. If Ethereums shift to proof of stake were to occur, Hives GPU-based mining provides flexibility to identify and focus computing resources on existing and new cryptocurrencies including those using the proof-of-work standard as they become more profitable to mine, as well as for other high-efficiency computing applications, such as artificial intelligence and graphic rendering as well as private blockchain computing, which are becoming more widespread as the blockchain technology grows and develops.
