I don't know what plans Vitalik has, but I think that unfortunately the ETC development team is not doing anything to promote and develop this currency. Why did they lose interest? Do they know something we don't know? If others could, why couldn't they? Is there a syncope in the ETC blockchain? What is the real reason why this currency not only stays in place but unfortunately decreases against ETH and all other currencies? I am very upset like others in fact and I realize that it was one of the worst placements I have ever made.
