thanks for this post, including mentioning some of the technical details. a listing of the backers of each coin would have been nice too. maybe a follow up post? I was under the impression that the majority of the miners were behind, the then upcoming, bcc. i was too busy/lazy to look into it deeply. I sold my btc for alt coins right before the fork and am watching and waiting to see what happens with these two, but predicting would be better. :) hmm, i wonder if btc would take all the alt coins value down with it if bcc takes over quickly? or would the exchanges just automatically use the top currency (by some metric) as the reserve/pegged asset/whatever it's called?
