ZIL was also Dual-Mineable with Ethereum prior to the switch to PoS

The recent move from Proof of Mining (PoW) to Proof of Staking (PoS) of the Ethereum (ETH) crypto currency brought a big change in the crypto mining landscape. Prior to the Merge of Ethereum that has happened on September 15th ETH was mineable with ASIC systems and video cards (GPUs), but this is no more possible as the crypto currency has officially switched from mining to staking. With the new Proof of Staking (PoS) in action instead of new ETH coins being mined, they need to be staked with at least 32 ETH coins getting locked in order to possibly earn you Ethereum. But what about all the mining power that was used for mining Ethereum prior to the switch from PoW to PoS and what to mine now since you cannot mine Ethereum anymore?

The enormous mining power that was a part of the Ethereum network had to be switched to mine other crypto currencies and nothing else could handle so much computational power after the Merge happened on 15th of September. No other crypto network managed to go without getting a significant increase in difficulty and thus getting a huge drop of the mining profitability as a result. Even after a few days have passed there is still nothing that can be stably mined with GPUs at a profit, even covering your electricity for the mining GPUs is hardly achievable even if your electricity comes dirt…
