They should remember that it's not the miners and pools that decide the value and acceptance of a coin. What will they do when nobody buys their coins?
Never accepted by the community? I think it will be quite the contrary when people are finally given a choice to choose!
I think we don't need these politics and counter rebuttals because Bitcoin needs all the unity it could gather at the moment. I think we should encourage a successful activation on August 1 and have all the prevailing Bitcoin issues solved after August 1.
I've been reading threads here and on other forums for weeks and the general attitude was always against a hard fork and individual projects that stood against the original BTC ideals. BTU never had a chance, even though they tried hard, what makes you think BCC has any? I'd actually like them to fork and fail miserably getting no interest and a value of a few satoshis.
