What do you find so interesting in Ethereum Classic? The userbase?

The dude has no clue. Listed 0 applications but said "Yeahh man its gonna happen" Sounds like the idiots on /r/cryptocurrency, doesnt sound like a programmer.

  I see a growing interest in ETC, but I do not find any rational reason - except some people considering it could replace ETH in case the chains grows too big. But if shit hits the fan, ETH could decide to do something serious itself. I just don't understand it.

    well, it's under the umbrella of IOHK, they particularly emphasize security, take a slow, deliberate and conservative approach to how they do things, in addition to this: https://callisto.network/ https://callisto.network/ i don't find it all that surprising. i also don't see ETH and ETC as being in competition. and i hold both as well. :) i can see a scenario where some applications are housed by ETC and others by ETH. sky rocketing gas prices and transaction fees kinda defeat the purpose i'd say (for anybody other than speculators and miners), and given the network load sometimes, that would make a lot of sense until some working scalability solutions are in place.

didn't say i find anything all that interesting about Ethereum Classic. didn't jump in with the intention of promoting or defending a position either, but both responses following my post seem eager to shove things down my throat, not sure why. but if you want to know what i find interesting far as ethereum apps go, i can list those: Augur, MakerDAO, DAOStack. those are examples of efforts that regardless of what goes down would not have been in vain and have already made significant contributions to the better understanding of things in their respective domains. ETC, can't say so much about, they seem a little hush hush, but they recently did launch a complementary chain dedicated to smart contract security audits for both ETH and ETC (but paid for from their treasury), and i also think the proposed ERC-223 (by an ETC member) makes a lot of sense and personally hope that it does get approved to substitute the current ERC-20. overall, i just wouldn't disregard the efforts made. and i think i'm more or less keeping my tone civil, no? too much to ask for the same?
