Just asking question, are Monero Original and Monero Classic on the same chain meaning you can only claim one ?
Yes is same coin just named differently on different exchanges. This basically shows you the nature of true cryptocurrencies. They dont belong to noone. Two different groups can name it differently.
Hopefully the weekend brings a $300 price tag on Monero; and even though we don't like it, the MoneroV fork may well push this all the way back to $350 again at the end of the month.
MoneroV will do nothing. But weekend just started so we will see really soon.
