EthereumPoW, a digital currency, worldwide payment system, and application technology originally based on PoW-based Ethereum blockchain. An unidentified (by number and name) group of ETH miners who stand to suffer from the switch to PoS support EthereumPoW that they no longer enjoy the mining rewards. This paper examines the fundamental characteristics and general information of ETHW.

Tokenomics of ETHW
As of this writing, the expected 24 hour trading volume for ETHW is 7.61 thousand tokens, with a market value of $369,960.

Key Features of ETHW
  • Change to EIP1559: Multi-sign wallet base fee is now jointly controlled by miners and the community.
  • Disable difficulty bombs: Block time is split into two parts by a mechanical algorithm known as a "difficulty bomb," which then alters chain difficulty to match. One element is the dynamic parameter adjustment, which is similar to Bitcoin. When the block time is less than 10 seconds, the difficulty will rise, and when it is more than 20 seconds, it will fall. The "real difficulty bomb," which is the third element, intentionally increases the blockchain's difficulty in an effort to discourage miners from establishing the Pos chain at ETH2.0.
  • The ETHW team will make updates when new details become available.
Price & Performance
On August 31st, 2022, ETHW attained its all-time-high price (ATH) of 50.14 USD. Since the ATH date, the price of ETHW has dropped to 44.10 USD on August 29th, 2022.

Closing Thoughts
Some people argue that the PoW can secure the network better, and the mining rewards incentive miners to continue mining. On the other hand, some other people believe that the merge will effectively reduce the energy consumption and it is a win-win situation for the earth and investors. What's next? Can these miners succeed? I would love to hear from your opinions and I look forward to seeing what will be the new changes.
