Hi Bitpop! Long time!
Guys you need a marketing re-brand. I cringe every time I hear the phrase "Eithereum classic". You guys arent "Ethereum classic". You are just Ethereum. They are the ones who hard forked. NOT YOU. Please stop calling yourself Ethereum classic and instead refer to this project as just Ethereum.
There is a problem with this you say? How will people know which Ethereum you are talking about. Simple. The guys on the fork should hence forth be referred to as "Neo-Ethereum".
Please. Spread the word. The guys who are actually Ethereum, real Ethereum, shouldn't be referring to themselves as "Ethereum classic". Do not let your opposition control language especially when you guys have the intellectual and moral high ground.
I thought I was the only one who thought so.
ETC really need to take back the "ethereum" name... let eth foundation rebrand.
but unfortunately, this is kinda already established, so it won't be easy.
Just gotta start saying it right. Be the agent of change. If a few people start doing it. And a few more follow. I bet it will catch like wild fire.
Yes correct, I feel like they stole our brand.
We understand, we feel like slockit stole our network. I did not invest in the Dao but i loved "Ethereum coin" (eth). I am not going to abandon the chain i love for the "customers" that use it for bad coding. They should have had the Dao code "peer reviewed" by the community. Slockit screwed up! Slockit and Dao people should have took the pain, but them and "eth devs" wanted all Eth holders to pay the price. They burnt your/our brand!
Never mind, its done now.
================================
In addition however, Code is law?
If Eugene and Vladimir want to have a $10 bet on who will win US election so it could be done like this.
Eugene bets Hillary will win. Vladimir bets Trump will win.
Eugene and Vladimir both give Mohamed $10,
After election Mohamed gets a US newspaper to see who won. Trump has won!
Mohamed gives $20 to winner Vladimir
Eugene cries "
no, we did not shake hands, I had my fingers crossed, I will take you to “court” fetch the “law”",
Big fight starts. A “Judge” has to make a “judgement”. Eugene threatens Mohamed, Police are called.

If Eugene and Vladimir want to have a $10 bet on who will win US election so it could be done like this.
Eugene bets Hillary will win. Vladimir bets Trump will win.
Eugene and Vladimir get Mohamed to write a SMART CONTRACT.
They both agree that the “unstoppable code” will “judge” the outcome and input $10 .
After the election the SMART CONTRACT scans all the media from lots of different sources and decided that the evidence says Trump has won.
SMART CONTRACT pays Vladimir
Eugene cries
"no, we did not shake hands, I had my fingers crossed, I will take you to “court” fetch the “law”",
Big fight starts. No “Judge” has to make a “judgement”, “code is law”.
Eugene goes to the Federal Reserve and asks Ben Bernanke to recall
all the dollar bills and issue new ones called fork-dollar bills?
"But I thought SMART CONTRACT means you don't need to trust a 3rd party?" said Vladimir & Mohamed
