It is well known that Ethereum is gearing up for its much-anticipated merger next month, September 15th.
However, its main critics, the ETH miner community, are against implementing a hard fork of the Ethereum blockchain and continuing with the Ethereum proof-of-Work (ETHW) network.
However, Ethermine which is the largest ETH mining pool in the world has decided not to offer any mining pool to the PoW network.
Meaning, Ethereum will shut down all Ethereum startup servers so that miners will no longer be able to connect mining equipment to the Ethermine Ethereum pool.
According to the official announcement from Ethermine, the Ethermine Ethereum mining pool will switch to production-only mode after the Proof-of-Work mining phase has ended.
In addition to that, users who want to receive the final payment of the unpaid balance need to get it through their individual dashboard page. A manual payment request for miners is also possible if the unpaid balance exceeds 0.005 ETH.
Additionally, Ethereum PoW supporters have started its development work. This can be seen when the Ethereum PoW team announced its first code which is the three main features of the Ethereum PoW version on August 15.
In the meantime, ETHW Core has introduced liquidity pool freezing technology that will help protect user assets.
