What are you mining for 2024

What about ethereum classic?
It is still PoW and might have potential.

It is rank 23 in coinmarketcap, impressive! I think they still have active development and a small communtiy

I am wondering who is still giving hashrate to DGB's blockchain, IMO this coin is an perfect example of fail

To be honest I have no idea how the math works for their hashrate anymore, if rounded a bit the reward and it gets me something as ~$2k per day, in BTC terms would be around 2000 machines?

How many 51% have been against this coins, three or 4?
ETH classic is one of those coins that serve as the prime example the market doesn't care about the coin itself but only trading it.
But still, the reward is better than DGB is the math above is correct, at around $600k per day, it's still some money, better than LTC but 1/4 of what doge makes.

If I remember this was what the ipollo asics hype was about, right?

Many bitcoin forks , like btg and bitcoin Diamond suffered also many 51% attacks.

Forks are much vulnerable to 51% attacks, because they are profitable for professional miners.

Anyway, one more reason why those forks should be worthless...

I'm not sure I follow you on this point. For me, the 51% attacks can happen when the total network hashrate is too low, too weak, so indirectly that means it's not profitable for miners, right? Otherwise they would mine the said coin and the hashrate should be strong enough

51% attackers are not exactly mining.

They buy millions of that forked coin. Then they send it to an exchange,  sell it and withdrawal btc/usdt. and then make the 51% attack reversing the transaction, now they have 2x what they had.

But they are mining, they need the other secret chain without or with the tx in question or the reversal will never happen!

Profitable is not really the criteria.
You can have a highly profitable coin being attacked just because the attacker can buy the needed hashrate for somewhere!

Right now BCH and BTC are just as profitable to mine, at around 10 cents per th/s, but the BTC chain is guarded by 600exa , bch by 3 exahash so 200x more secure, which no surprise is close to the BTC/BCH price ratio.
So rather than the profitability, it's the total amount in daily miner revenue that is the best indicator to how secure the coin is!
