Ethereum classic exists because a notable minority of the ethereum community were so concerned about the implications of a hard fork that they invested mining power on a nearly-abandoned blockchain. Though the functionality of the two networks is at the moment exactly the same, the symbolic power of a ledger that hasn't been modified proved enough for one developer to take lead on keeping the chain alive.
Pros
- Ethereum Classic continued the original blockchain and split from Ethereum in July 2016 Development unique to Ethereum Classic produced the Emerald Software Developer Kit, a toolkit to build dapps. The SDK contains other components for developers such as UI, libraries, and build tools. Geth, using the Go programming language, provides a “multipurpose command line tool that runs a full Ethereum Classic node.” Geth contains over 40% new code since the hard fork from Ethereum, demonstrating active development by the ETC team. The program allows you to mine ETC, transfer funds between wallets, create smart contracts and manage accounts. Team main focus is on making Ethereum Classic a stable and usable technology. Opposite to move fast and break things.
Cons
- There are still disputes in online media about Ethereum being a scam platform. Some of the Ethereum miners think it was launched actually by professional supporters
