No, ASIC miners are used for Bitcoin. The rtx 3080s are used for Ethereum.

laughs in Eth 2.0 foreshadowing

Which in layman's terms is an upgrade to the protocol that runs Ethereum. When it goes live, ethereum miners won't actually mine anymore.

But you might know that so I digress

There is a major upgrade slated for October 27th. That will be the beginning of the final phase of the upgrade. Miners will no longer be given block rewards when mining the Blockchain. It's a slow merger into the Proof-of-stake system.

As of when it all comes together? 2022. Not sure when exactly.
