will be great if one of the devs will answer here to clear this question marks....

Devs can not provide an answer concerning the continuation of mining on the legacy chain ... Simply put, a chain lives as long as there are people mining (on) it. A chain lives means that there is a coin. So, either the non-obelsik miners stop mining and then the legacy chain will die, or they continue mining and it will live. Obelisk miners will mine on the hard forked chain (the new main chain). Given the fact that I don't think non-obelsik miners will be willing to throw away their equipment, it's highly probable they will continue mining on the legacy chain.

Lmao, that's exactly what I was thinking bro. It' going to be interesting to watch as things unfold. Perhaps they'll rethink the algorithm switch and not hurt so many miners that invented their money just to mine Sia Coin and now are left with nothing. Or perhaps someone can create a worthwhile new Cryptocurrency on Blake2b algorithm, and then miners can switch to this new coin.

I would bet that we'll end up with two coins after the fork, but only one decentralised storage app that inherits the project name of SIA, all crypto history suggests the old asic miners will continue mining and traders and bots will have a new speculating coin to play with. After the komodo swap btcd literally had no functioning wallet , no devs, and no user community, but btcd traded on poloniex for over a year as a zombie coin. We should expect a sia zombie coin to do pretty well!
