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.

Cheers for being very honest about it. I find that in a lot of places if you mention the ETH was forked you get a lot of people who attack you and try and convince you the opposite. Its a shame that so many trolls exist, but such is the way of life i suppose.

It would be amazing if they created a union and synced. Unfortunately the division has split the community and they tend to see each other as rivals rather than the fact that they share the same goals for the most part. Perhaps ETH is more developed due to the timing. Perhaps things will change.

As long as the Ethereum is supported by big community, it is fine. I do not use ETC personally.

Exactly. Now Ethereum is a giant with super big companies and projects going on under their banner. In the end the best technology prevails. Not easy though.

All of the development activity is taking place on ETH, both on the protocol and on the projects being built on top of the platform.
