We’re excited to join @ETCGrantsDao’s AMA next week and talk about the next chapter for the ethereum-classic:native ecosystem.
Bring your questions.
See you there.💚
🚀 ETC AMA is here! 🎤
📅 September 30, 4AM UTC
💬 Theme: What Comes After the Ethereum Classic Cooperative?
👥 Host: ETC Grants DAO
🎙️ Guests: Linze MA, Kevin, Istora Mandiri
💭 Join us and ask your questions!
#ETC#AMA
$ETC has no bailout. Code is Law.
AI can help review clients like core-geth — but it cannot author an unreviewed release for mission critical software the network depends on.
Formal verification + AI can strengthen #blockchain tech — but if you can’t review it, don’t ship it.
If you’re already a competent developer and familiar with a programming language, AI can assist you greatly.
On the opposite side, the market is saturated with vibe-coded slop, full of security vulnerabilities.
If you can’t review it, you shouldn’t put it in production.

ETC’s relevant act since the fork was not inventing a new consensus gadget every year. It was refusing the DAO bailout and keeping the original ledger.
“Code is law” is the product. Everything after that is maintenance of a base layer, not a startup roadmap.
Not a narrative. A structural fact — and a structural opportunity.
@eth_classic’s current market position is the largest PoW smart contract platform.
We are building for that position, and work is already underway.🔨💚
4 years ago this week: The Merge made $ETC the world's largest Proof-of-Work, smart contract platform 🍀
GPU miners needed a home. ETC was already here. ⛏️
#EthereumClassic#ClassicIsComing
No ETC developers, teams, organizations, groups or contributors ever benefited from the ETC that was left on-chain from Ethereum’s ICO and premine.
It’s disingenuous, at best, to say “ETC conducted a premine.”
We look forward to bringing some very special things to the largest PoW smart contract platform. 💚
@eth_classic has so much potential and such an incredible opportunity in its current niche market position: Turing-complete, PoW.
Four years ago this week #ETH moved to Proof-of-Stake.
#EthereumClassic automatically became the largest Proof-of-Work smart contracts blockchain in the world.
4 years ago this week, The Merge made #EthereumClassic the largest PoW smart contract platform.
From ~40 TH/s to ~180 TH/s today. ⚡️⛏
Not a narrative. A structural fact.
8/ If you're on the rogue client, please switch back to github.com/etclabscore/core-… — the latest version is v1.12.23 (Argos).
Restore your original node key if you rotated it, disable MESS.
You should be able to safely revert, as chain data is still compatible.
7/ The crisis was averted.
Four pool nodes briefly switched to this rogue client, but all of them were back on Argos within a few hours.
All large mining pools are now running Argos, and the rogue v1.13.0 release has not gained traction.
6/ Here's why MESS matters:
It was deactivated in ECIP-1110, because if only a subset of the nodes turn it on, nodes can disagree about which chain is valid.
This is a big deal if pools run it, and it could cause a chain split that might not heal.
5/ What the rogue client actually changed:
• Turns MESS back on by default
• Moves peer discovery to DNS run by a new account
• Moves consensus test data to a repo the author controls • Tells operators to rotate node keys
You can guess the true intent of this "security fix."
