Thanks for your reply. Still a bit concerned about this whole thing.

My understanding is that you should keep and stake up as much as ETH as possible before the fork, then join in some stake/forger pool with your amassed ETH and be paid proportionally after that. Price of ETH should go up as there are no more new ETH created by mining, hence increasing demand and price. Theoretically.

Then you could switch to mining another coin with your miners (probably not possible under your mining contract terms)…

What I DO NOT understand on the other hand, is how forge system will work IRL. I.e when you lock your ETH in forger pool, what will be the conditions to withdraw them if you will needing them or how often will you receive the forger dividend (based on ammount of ETH locked in the system) , if by reaching some minimal payout or by some time ammont (really only annualy/once a year???)

And also what the ether rewards will be for staying plugged into “system” with some computing power for processing and what kind od hardware will be required under POS…?
