Working at @ethereum. There's no reason to follow me—a high proportion of my tweets will be trolling and shitposting.

      #Cryptotwitter: I'm looking back at the ancient 2016 Ethereum & 2017 Bitcoin forks. How, specifically, were the tickers allocated post-fork? Why did Bitcoin Legacy retain BTC & Ethereum retain ETH? Was it "just" exchanges that made that decision & "enforced" through market power?

      For ETH there's a record of what happened that I mostly wrote here: https://github.com/ethereumbook/ethereumbook/blob/develop/appdx-forks-history.asciidoc … As for my own take a leadership group chose to enforce the hard fork and people were unwilling to go against them. They had the exchange contacts, social media, and coders at the time.

      I've also written about creating friction/coordination issues in order to avoid controversial hard forks here. Based on my experience with the ETH/ETC split.https://link.medium.com/Pt1KaHnYqY

      The EF wanted to abandon the classic chain yet retain name and brand, which they trademarked (in the spirit of open source lol). Exchanges were using tickers like ETH-F and ETC-C for a little while. Here’s a 2016 ETC blog post regarding its ticker: https://ethereumclassic.github.io/blog/2016-07-22-etc-ticker/ …

      Linux Foundation has a trademark on Linux. Apache Foundation has a trademark on Apache. I do not know what inconsistency you imply.

          My point is there shouldn’t be a foundation or single entity creating and directing “decentralized” public blockchains, who can unilaterally trademark the brand, and can take legal action against violators. It’s totes hypocritical imo. No ™️ on Bitcoin. No ™️ on ETC. 👌

          Actually, just FYI, "Ethereum Classic" is a registered trademark in china by "Chain Library" filing #30942660. They could file a lawsuit against you at any time probably resulting in lengthy battle. Within China you'd probably lose. Outside China you'd probably win.
