ETHW would have a chance, a tiny chance, with a competent core dev team. But given that the core dev team appears to be a bunch of scammers who were incompetent at coding it (they needed outside help/corrections) and listed a bunch of companies as supporters including us on their website without permission I believe ETHW has no chance. Sell it all asap. If it makes you more money to mine then mine it but sell don't hold.
I really wish someone competent had taken over ETH PoW.
I am staying with ETHW compared to ETC despite many people clearly favoring ETC at the moment.I think that ETC won't go as high as it was in the last bull run of 179 USD was last time around as it maximum peak.Now ETHW as you say is uncharted territory so I am mining it as I know it is a gamble but it is worth taking as it costs me about 15 dollars a month to mine 10 dollars of ETHW worth,so I don't really care for 5 dollars lost every month while in the next bull run I expect this coin to be at least 200 or more dollars.I agree that it would be nice if more projects and developers jump on this coin,this would immediately give an increase in value but as they say good things come to those who wait.
