The blockchain that we now know as Etherium does not contain the blocks that were erased. The fact that those blocks still exist on a completely different blockchain is irrelevant. They have been deleted from the Etherium chain.
- mattwilsonn888 5y agoIf you are calling that "The Ethereum Chain" then it seems your preferred fork won. Those who believe rolling back exploited funds was wrong see what you call "The Ethereum Chain" as the fork and Eth Classic as "The." Either way, members of each fork kept their account balances, so anyone who really believed in Eth Classic but held their forked tokens is no worse off. If you want to talk about Eth politics and immutability (which is a good conversation) then it shouldn't be applied to all blockchain; not all chains are subject to such political influence if you claim that was a factor.
- marcus_holmes 5y agoBut everyone (even you) refers to Eth Classic as Eth Classic. I think we can accept that the fork succeeded and "Etherium" is not Eth Classic. I don't claim anything, except that the blockchain we now call "Etherium" does not contain the deleted blocks, and that therefore blockchains are not immutable.
