Hey there @gendal!

I did not spot this article from you at the time, but was delighted to unearth it while Googling for ADEPT and "Device Democracy" recently
gendal.me/2014/09/22/dev…

I spoke about it myself at DEVCON2 in Shanghai, and name-checked @pbrody in that talk.

👋 guys! I last saw Henning Dietrich at @ETHBerlin in 2019 and was told that he was at DEVCON6 last week, but I had no means to contact him.

If anybody has a Telegram handle or email for Henning, please do DM me it. I would love to catch up with him. Very few know his role in early Eth! Image

#EthereumClassic is now dominating non-BTC mining. Whether or not that is currently profitable, given the excess of hash which can no longer mine ETH, is another matter.

ETC network hashrate seems to have settled to a new equilibrium close to 150 TH/s. Peak was 300 TH/s. Image That was around a 6x gain in hashrate and security since before The Merge.

More importantly, though, is that ETC in now *the* apex predator for POW outside of SHA256 market.

The majority of ETC hash is likely ASICS (I have heard ~70%) which is fantastic.

Given that the @ethereum Foundation *is* seemingly throwing @virgilgr under the bus, will you be resigning from the EF, @VitalikButerin?

What has happened here is an absolutely failure of governance. I have been pushing and begging and pleasing for transparency from the EF for years.

At least three years:

@rstormsf @belfordz @ConsenSys Sorry, that was out of order.
I apologize.

Your initial question felt like it was a disingenuous trolling attempt, but I see now that perhaps you are genuinely unaware. Perhaps you joined the whole ecosystem after these events and are playing catch-up? @rstormsf @belfordz @ConsenSys This split was very bitter at the time, with many people on the ETH majority side (myself included) thinking that ETC chain would die off almost immediately.

At the time there were no examples of contentious hard forks from which both sides survived.
