ENOUGH OF THIS BULLSHIT! WE HAVE A FIRST-MOVER
Bitcoin Classic is splitting offAs an act of good faith, and to resolve this fight amicably so we can all move on, we have decided to split off. We wish all the best to those who continue on the other path.
Bitcoin is finally saved!
You mean Bitcoin Classic is saved. The link promises:
"A return to the Bitcoin from a year ago."
Lol, this is ridiculously misleading. It's a return to nothing and the spin-off of yet another altcoin. The only difference is this one is a blatant rip-off of bitcoin. If you wanted to make a new coin you should give it a new name altogether. All that can possibly happen is merchant confusion. That's what they're hoping for I guess.
Merge mining is really good idea for any faction of Bitcoin wishing to split. That way miners will get coins on all chains and the new network is secure.
