The Ethereum merge is done

If you're the type of person who poured capital into mining hardware and you own it, which you likely do because it's more cost effective, you still have all that hardware sitting around. You're going to repurpose it to other mining endeavors or quickly find a way to try and eek more money out of if, because you were already that type of person.

I don't keep up with crypto and mining but until it becomes unprofitable or you can't pull money for and start operating in the red, you're going to continue consuming similar power.

Yeah, I've got 21 3080s/3090s, and I'm still mining (NiceHash switched algorithms for me automatically). But I've also listed my machines on vast.ai to rent out for deep learning. When they're not being used by a client, they're mining still. My electricity is super cheap, though $0.0875/kWh. That said, it's hardly profitable at all. I'm just speculating and breaking even at this point.
