The hard fork was rushed due to time constraints and I think the Ether devs did not expect ETC to survive this long. If they did they would have taken more care to sever the chains properly.
ETC will not hard fork, so Ether has to hope that miners on ETC move back to Ether. Right now
Ethereum Chain State shows ETC hashing power down to 500 from 600 gH/s yesterday. Give it a few weeks, I think ETC hashrate will either be down to less than 100 gh or up to 1000 gh/s. If that happens Ether may be forced to hard fork again.
flag 1. How much money have they wasted on themselves and marketing before even making a solid project with all the details in place?
flag 2. Golmansachs people were on board
flag 3. Much hyped and poorly written dao contract
flag 4. Obvious manipulation after Dao hack
flag 5. Can't even get the fork right.
Actions speak louder then words. These guys are A-holes
