HELP? I am trying to decide on...

You did not say what you chose, based on the answers and advice given here. I see Classic as the short term {Band-Aid} approach to a much bigger problem addressed by Core. The variety on offer

with everything that are coming in the future, like LN and SegWit will bring much more value to Bitcoin, than the quick fix suggested with Classic. The Gavinistas will obviously differ with me, but that

is my opinion, based on my observation and research done on the topic.

I had chosen Core. Now most here had suggested Core. I dont know much about Classic. I thot Core would be OK so far.

Get Electrum - the best choice.

run classic to show your willingness to have 2MB blocks.
in the end it won't matter
it's not like your coins are in danger whichever version you choose to run.

i think i would stay with core, classic isnt too mainstream and possibly it wont be like that for a while thus i wouldnt choose classic, at least not right now

[jmintuck1912]

I am thinking to stay for now with core, thanks to the higher votes in here leaning toward Core. I guess I will stick with Core for now.

If you are still undecided better stay with the classic. As you wait,please read and research regarding the advantages and disadvantages on both so that you are informed of your choices.Also, wait until any issues were fix if ever there or until it is stable.

i think it is easy to decide, at least for me it is easy.

classic does not have the mining support behind it (yet) so why switch to something that feels like it has the same fate as bitcoin xt

I think if you like what Classic has to offer (2MB blocks and their roadmap) that you should switch now, because miners will be less likely to support Classic if they don't see Classic nodes that will accept the blocks that they mine.  My point is that in order for more miners to support Classic, they will need users (nodes) showing their support.

Im sticking with core for the here and now anyway.   Is all these spinoff's really good for BTC anyway?

[amacar2]

i have heard that most of users and developer have agreed to stay with core. I don't run any nodes on my own so i don't have any fear about these version thing.

[pooya87]

if i were you, i would stay with core for the time being. because you might be forced to switch back in the future. even if bitcoin classic is good or has support, it is not yet have the full support of the miners, the blocks mined with classic is too low for any significant change to happen.

[cjmoles]

What does everybody think about trading BTC in for Ether until a consensus is reached and the scaling issue is resolved. Would that be a bad idea? What are the chances that it would be a profitable venture?  Once the project hashes out its differences, then it would be easy to trade the Ether in for bitcoin again.  Does that sound reasonable, or am I out of line here?

Yes if you are unsure, staying with core is the best. but you can get more information about the both here in this forum.
This will help you understand better if switch to classic is favorable.

Why don't you just run both on 2 separate computers or this may cause issues in the long term?
