Just curious what you think.

Can and/or should ETC stay as PoW, or switch to PoS when ETH does this.

My perosonal optinion is to stay PoW. But I don't know if there are any technical issues or problems preventing this.

Don't know or care..
That is more for the supporters to decide.

I do know actions speak louder than words.
And the emergence of ETC is in away a good sign in my view.
It was launched in part because of principles but also probably money / profits.
BUT !
This was an action of principles taken !
An effort of trying to do the right thing that was not just talk.

So i can't support ETC because it's a clone of ETH.
But i can for sure tolerate it a lot more than Ethereum.

Forking the coin was a bad idea originally by Butters.
I support the idea of rewinding and going back to let the DAO "attacker" have his coins.

Disclaimer:
I have 0 financial interest in commenting.. i will never own any ETC or ETH.
I offer my perspective simply to discuss Altcoins and the principles we should uphold.

FUD first & ask questions later™
