I'm wondering why Ethereum mining has come to a halt. Could it be due to technical issues, a change in the network's protocol, or some other reason altogether? I'd like to understand the background behind this stoppage.

Ethereum's transition to proof-of-stake in 2022 marked a significant change in the cryptocurrency landscape.

This shift meant that mining ether was no longer possible using the traditional proof-of-work method.

Despite this, miners still have options available to them in the form of altcoins.

These altcoins use the same algorithm that Ethereum previously relied on for mining.

By mining these altcoins, miners can potentially still make a profit, depending on the market conditions and the specific altcoin in question.
