More Information about Ethereum Classic (ETC)

Useful information to know about mining Ethereum Classic

Ethereum Classic is the unbroken continuation of Ethereum’s original chain after the 2016 DAO exploit and disputed hard fork, keeping an immutable ledger under the “code is law” principle and treating on-chain history as a record that must not be altered, even when outcomes are uncomfortable; it runs proof-of-work with the Etchash algorithm, where miners validate transactions and secure the network, and after Ethereum’s 2022 transition to proof-of-stake many miners migrated to ETC, pushing hashrate materially higher and reinforcing censorship resistance in practice as blocks arrive roughly every 13 seconds; its EVM remains Turing-complete and compatible with common Ethereum tooling, so developers can write smart contracts in Solidity, deploy standard tokens and dApps, and leverage familiar libraries and wallets, while protocol upgrades such as Atlantis, Agharta, and Phoenix brought broad EVM parity, and ECIP-1099 introduced Etchash to sustain GPU mining and adjust DAG growth; the network typically processes on the order of a dozen transactions per second with comparatively low fees, and it operates under a fixed monetary policy defined in ECIP-1017 that caps supply near 210.7 million ETC by reducing block rewards by 20% every 5 million blocks (the 5M20 schedule), offering predictable issuance and engineered scarcity; after experiencing several deep reorganizations and 51% attacks in 2019–2020, the ecosystem implemented defenses like Modified Exponential Subjective Scoring to disincentivize long reorgs and strengthened monitoring and client diversity, and governance continues through the open ECIP process with contributions from independent teams and organizations such as ETC Cooperative; although its developer community and application layer are smaller than Ethereum’s and this can slow feature velocity and limit the breadth of DeFi and NFT activity, Ethereum Classic’s live network today reflects a clear commitment to decentralization, immutability, and credible neutrality, securing programmable value with proof-of-work while preserving the original ethos that first defined the Ethereum experiment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about mining Ethereum Classic

What hardware is best for mining Ethereum Classic?

For Ethereum Classic (Etchash), GPU mining is typically most efficient. Consider high-memory graphics cards for optimal performance and profitability.

How profitable is mining Ethereum Classic?

Profitability depends on factors like electricity costs, hardware efficiency, current price ($12.18), and network difficulty. Use our calculator above to get personalized estimates based on your setup.

What are the electricity costs for mining Ethereum Classic?

Electricity costs vary by region and hardware type. Input your local kWh rate and hardware power consumption in our calculator for accurate estimates. Lower electricity costs significantly improve profitability.

Should I mine solo or join a pool for Ethereum Classic?

Pool mining provides more consistent payouts but includes fees (typically 1-3%). Solo mining offers full block rewards but with irregular payouts. For most miners, pools offer better cash flow predictability.

How does network difficulty affect Ethereum Classic mining?

Higher network difficulty means more competition and lower individual rewards. The current difficulty is 2,753.79T. Difficulty adjusts automatically to maintain consistent block times.
