Great article indeed,a lot of effort made.
However i would suggest everybody to stay away out of ETC, im not even talking about all these hacks (steals of ETC actually) but this crypto is going to be erased in a short while probably,because too many hackers own it.
If we will see big bearish trend on it, probably hackers will start to dump it, causing ETC to be worth nothing.
Too big fluctuations i would say, not enough reliability.
However , i think people will still stay on the ETC to defend the chain pre fork , because they can still be on eth too and its the same software
And is not gonna be erased in the common sense , after its status will be still on the last ETH block before the fork , it started with a snapshot of ETH's state , after all
