Ethereum Foundation will maintain an updated version of Ethereum, but will not prevent the development of alternative chain Ethereum Classic, said the founder of the ecosystem Ethereum Acne Buterin.
In an official statement Buterin draws attention to the fact that the fund will support the version Ethereum, held "tough fork" for the return of decommissioned The DAO funds.
"We will focus our energy and attention on the chain, which is now called ETH».
At the same time Ethereum Foundation recognizes the right of members of the system does not agree with the "rigid fork" and go to alternative chain, which essentially is the original ecosystem blokcheynom Ethereum.
"We recognize that the Ethereum code can be used to create other options blokcheyna with the same rules by consensus, including testnety, a consortium of private and chain clones and redemptions, and have never been against such initiatives."
Ethereum Foundation encourages clients using protocols developed like Ethereum Foundation team, and a third party (Parity), to make a choice in favor of an updated version of the ETH.
Those participants who prefer to stay in the original version Ethereum, not the last "rigid fork", should be used for splitting the contract specified in the message Buterin address. Thus they will be able to move their tokens ETC a new separate account and avoid the risk of a second attack.
"We also urge community members to reflect on ETC holding secondary" rigid fork ", in order to change the transaction formats and avoid further repeated attacks."
While not all of these steps and the splitting of ETH and the ETC will be carried out, both chains must be managed through separate purses will be made.
In fact Buterin treatment was a technical description of how both options blokcheyna Ethereum will continue to exist. The important point was that the Ethereum Foundation clearly stated its position on the suddenly arisen, and the increasingly popular Ethereum Classic: the support of the chain will not be, but also prevent its existence the Fund also has no plans to.
Buterin statement immediately after the publication was the topic of discussion at the profile Reddit portal. Participants expressed a word of support and condemnation against the Fund Ethereum Foundation. Some users have tried to find the secret meaning hidden in the statements Buterin.
"Vitaly said that they support the ETH, because the community supports this option right now. Thus, if the ETC will be the dominant chain, it will mean that Vitaly will support us "- suggested one of the participants.
There were also issues related to those who will develop updates for ETC, whether to seek new protocol kernel developers and not dangerous to allow the code to new people.
Meanwhile, the popularity of ETC continues to grow. As of 9:20 MSK medium cost alternative token per day Ethereum jumped 1.5 times, up to 0,0031 BTC. However, it has not been able yet to reach parity with the ETH.
Quotes updated version of the ETH, on the contrary, continued to decline: token per day, according to the largest Ethereum Poloniex Exchange, fell by almost 10%, and again fell below the level of 0,02 BTC.
It is interesting to note that the volume of trading on ETC outperformed the largest exchange for Ethereum that of ETH: daily trading volume exceeded 163,545 ETC BTC ($ 106,3 mn).
ETC Such popularity did not escape the attention kriptovalyutnyh mayningovyh exchanges and pools. July 26 about adding ETC trading company announced mayningovaya MinerGate. July 27 it became known that another exchange kriptovalyutnaya Bittrex Playground start trading ETC.
Other stock exchanges and platforms, on the contrary, declare their support just an updated version of Ethereum. Thus, the American kriptovalyutnaya platform Coinbase said that "has no plans to support the ETC", but will continue to "monitor the situation and user demand."
Watching ETC rate yesterday:
Ned looks much better than Vitalik, that's for sure :D
