Is GPU mining dead after Ethereum's move to Proof of Stake — or has it just evolved? In this episode, The Everyday Miner sits down with Red Fox Crypto to reflect on the golden age of GPU mining, survive the chaos of the Merge, and look honestly at what comes next for home miners. They dive deep into what it was really like when every GPU you plugged in printed money, the scramble to offload hardware post-Merge, week-long ROI timelines that feel like ancient history, and the endless cycle of hype around "the next Bitcoin." They also explore whether emerging projects like Quai Network could breathe new life into GPU mining profitability — or whether the real future of the hobby is less about chasing gains and more about the love of the craft itself. If you're a hobbyist miner wondering where GPU mining goes from here, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.
