What is known about the upgrade? On September 15, at block 15 537 432, the Ethereum network made the transition from the Proof of Work (PoW) consensus algorithm to Proof of Stake (PoS), the way coins are earned on the network changed from mining to staking. As a result of The Merge, a fork was launched that continues to work on PoW.
The developers of EthereumPoW reported that a number of major Ethereum mining pools would support ETHW, including F2Pool, Nanopool, Poolin, and BTC.com. The network also partners with backup mining pool EthwMine. However, Ethereum’s largest mining pool, Ethermine, stopped supporting the PoW algorithm.
