One. In that case, unlike today, a large portion of the user community believed that the alternate approach was a better idea.
And the market did make a pretty definite decision on the two forks' relative worth. ETH today is worth $2800 and ETC is at $26.
- SV_BubbleTime 5y agoMore than one, but alright. The point is the mechanism exists to just fucking ignore PoS and if miners don’t think there is enough in it for them, it won’t happen.
- DennisP 5y agoOf course miners can keep their PoW chain going. That doesn't mean anyone else will care about it, or that they can stop the PoS chain from going live. There have been lots of Ethereum forks, but ETC is the only case where the old chain stayed active. In every other case the old chain was abandoned. (Bitcoin on the other hand has multiple active chain splits.)
