White also expects that if Iris can execute its strategy, its stock can trade at a premium versus other small-cap miners. IREN was trading hands at $4.59 at press time, up nearly 8% on the day. Compass Point has a price target of $6.50/share.（CoinDesk）

Some of those miners have turned to a proof-of-work (PoW) fork of Ethereum so they can continue mining. But even Chandler Guo, one of the fork's strongest advocates, thinks only 10% of miners using PoW to mine ETHPOW (the token of the Ethereum Merge fork) or ETC (the token of Ethereum Classic) will ultimately survive.
This comes after the Ethernet PoW network received complaints on its first day, with users reporting problems accessing blockchain servers while attempting to set up crypto wallets failed. In response, Guo responded that it depends on the user's network speed and expects the performance of the Ether PoW network to improve as more miners participate.（CoinDesk）
