All Eyes on Ethereum Classic As Hacked DAO Funds Is On The Move
It goes without saying this debacle has been spurring a new debate among Ethereum enthusiasts. Many people feel the developers should send a cease and desist letter to the ETC developers for violating the Ethereum trademark. Although things have been relatively quiet around the DAO for some time now, a new development has occurred. A large amount of Ethereum Classic funds was still eligible for withdrawal by the hacker. As it turns out, the funds have been moved several hours ago. However, the ETC price across exchanges is not dipping, and the coins are not being dumped. Ever since The DAO....

To be more precise,a total of 3641694 ETC has been moved to a new address. This is a large amount, particularly when taking the current Ethereum Classic price into account. Some of the funds stolen by The DAO “attacker” is on the move right now. More particularly, the majority of Ethereum Classic holdings have been transferred to a different address. The bigger question is what his funds will be used for, and whether or not it will be dumped across exchanges. With over 3 million ETC on the move, a market crash might be looming on the horizon. When The DAO got breached by an unknown entity....
More than $5m worth of digital currency associated with the attack on The DAO is on the move. Identified via an analysis of the ethereum classic blockchain, the finding comes courtesy of data analyst Bok Khoo. Founder of New Zealand-based Bok Consulting, Khoo's work shows that 3.6m classic ethers were likely moved to a new account earlier this week. While a seemingly small development, the fund transfer is likely to have a deep relevance for those who have been following the debates in ethereum stemming from The DAO's failure. After an attack on The DAO successfully moved $60m to an....
The DAO hacker has moved his stolen Ethereum from the Ethereum Classic chain, donating part of it to the Ethereum Classic developers. The move of the stolen funds from the DAO hack occurred earlier this week. As his first action with the funds the hacker sent 1,000 ETC, about $1,500, to the address associated with Ethereum Classic’s development team, leading to speculation that the initial hack might have been motivated by a desire to fork Ethereum (which ended up being a result of the hack). Ethereum’s long and complicated hacking saga. The hacker exploited a vulnerability in the DAO’s....
Born as a rebellion against Ethereum’s hard fork to retrieve funds from The DAO after it was "hacked" last summer, Ethereum Classic has increasingly formed a unique identity since. The continuation of the “original,” pre-fork Ethereum project seems to be letting go of plans as established by the Ethereum Foundation, and instead navigates a distinct path forward. The development community around the smart contract platform is growing, the project developed its own policy on hard forks, and as opposed to Ethereum, Ethereum Classic will probably not switch to (full) proof-of-stake....
Ethereum Classic is preparing another hard fork. It was announced in statements published last week that the project’s development and mining community is committing to a change in its monetary policy by December of this year. Essentially a move to a new protocol, all current Ethereum Classic users and miners should have upgraded their software by then. If everyone does not upgrade their software, the project can split into two incompatible networks, blockchains and currencies. Of course, that is exactly how Ethereum Classic itself broke away from the Ethereum Foundation’s Ethereum last....
