Title: Ethereum Hard Fork Gives Birth to a New ‘Classic’ Coin
Post by: Posternut on July 24, 2016, 07:21:52 PM
The Ethereum community had a hard fork this past week, and many celebrated a successful implementation. However, not everyone was enthusiastic about the fork as it only received 85% of the network’s hashing power. The Ethereum blockchain split into two, and the minority has been mining and now trading via Poloniex a “new” token supply called Ethereum Classic.

From ethereum site:

Build unstoppable applications

Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third party interference.

There is only one chain for which this remains true and it ain't the HF chain lol
