Still amazed at how many people think ETC - Ethereum Classic - is the fork and copied!
You can easily look this up for yourself. ETH - Ethereum - decided to fork to return the investors money that was hacked and taken during the DOA period. ETC decided to keep the chain and move on with the loss, as would any sane person operating a blockchain.
If you want to compare it to something, it would be like the MtGox incident. Imagine the BITCOIN chain was reversed to allow people to retrieve their money and in turn remove the immutability aspect principles of Bitcoin. While this would satisfy the people who lost a lot of money as a result. It would also mean you have reversed the actions that took place. In such a case, ETC would be the chain that decided to honour the principles and keep going on the same chain while ETH - ETHEREUM - decided to fork the chain and return peoples money.
I am still surprised people have not looked into this and believe that ETC is a fork.
You can read about it on their website:
https://ethereumclassic.com/From my side, i know that ETH is actually a fork of itself, and that the original chain is ETC.
The problem is that, when you compare the development of each chain, you will find huge differences. ETH's API is by far the most developed one, while ETC may be the most "sane" chain.
My problem regarding Ethereum (ETH+ETC) is, these guys should work together regardless of their differences. I also noted how the support is hardly provided by ETC guys, and how it kind of doesnt exists for ETH guys, unless you want to run a smart contract. And this a general fail for both of them.
