Following Nebulous's decision to perform a hard fork (on October 31, 2018) to drop all non-Obelisk ASICs from the Sia network, three alternatives have emerged for the owners of non-Obelisk miners: Hyperspace, SiaClassic, and ScPrime (originally SiaPrime). In the table below we have summarized some of their most important aspects, to help you decide where to move your miners. (If you find any inaccuracy, please send us an email!)

Pools

SiaMining has set up a mining pool for each of the 3 Sia derivatives, giving miners full freedom to decide what to mine. The switch can be performed by simply changing the port number in your miner's configuration.

Here are the direct links to the pools:

Notes

The ticker symbol SPACE has also been proposed, even though it is already used by the unrelated (but apparently abandoned) Spacecoin (source).
Not to be confused with SiaCashCoin, an unrelated ERC20 (Ethereum) token widely considered to be a scam. The ticker symbol SIA was initially proposed by the SiaClassic Foundation.
SiaPrime initially announced a tiered airdrop (1:1 for Sia addresses under 100k SC, 1:2 under 1M, 1:5 over 1M). This was changed on 2018-10-29 (the day before launch) in favor of a 1:5 airdrop to all Sia addresses. The following statement was also added to the official website: “We may limit large exchange address grants as these tokens may never be distributed.”
The airdrop was distributed manually 4 weeks after launch. A total of 2.9B SCP was distributed to SC holders, based on a snapshot taken at block 179,000. An additional 4.6B SCP, corresponding to addresses identified as being controlled by exchanges, have not been distributed but rather moved to cold wallets.
The initial block subsidy of SiaPrime was initially announced as 360,000, but changed to 300,000 on launch day (2018-10-30).
Source: 2018-10-21 blog post by the SiaClassic Foundation. Quote: “The Foundation will be supported in four (4) ways: [...] A ten (10) percent development fee on block rewards”.
Source: comment by Jason Gantt (u/siatoshi) in the 2018-10-28 SiaClassic AMA: “That will depend upon what the sia classic community Determines. Since we have received no cooperation from David and his team We are not obligated To provide them with any funding from the siafund but I will let the community decide.”
The minimum block subsidy of SiaPrime was initially set as 50,000, but was changed to 10,000 in December 2018 (source).
Starting at block 105,000, 10% of each SiaPrime block subsidy will be destroyed via proof-of-burn, rather than credited to the developers' fund. This change was announced on 2018-12-04.
The number of SiaPrimeFunds was increased to 30,000 from the original 10,000 by a fork at block 54,550 (2019-11-13). The same fork increases the storage contract fee to 15% from the original 3.9% (announcements: tweet, tweet).
ScPrime was originally known as SiaPrime. The name was changed about 15 months after launch, in January 2020. The ticker symbol remained the same.
ScPrime operated a “Supply Adjustment” in February 2020, altering the definition of 1 SCP by a factor of 1000 (source, FAQ). Namely, what used to be 1000 SCP became 1 SCP. The values in the table assume the new definition.
