The threat to ECDSA might not need a quantum computer. Some researchers warn that AI-assisted math could get there first.
Community Call #62 covers what that means and where Ethereum Classic stands.

• Where ETC stands on the quantum threat to ECDSA.
• What’s planned for the next core-geth release.
• Are preconfirmations and native stablecoins a good fit for $ETC?

July 30, 2015: genesis.
July 20, 2016: Ethereum forked to reverse The DAO hack. Ethereum Classic keeps the original chain running.
Today: 25,650,000 blocks and counting.
Ten years of upgrades. Not one to rewrite history.
They’ve written Ethereum Classic’s obituary every cycle since 2016.
2018: dead.
2020: dead.
2022: dead.
2024: dead.
2026: still here.
18 years ago today, Satoshi published the Bitcoin whitepaper.
Bitcoin proved proof-of-work money works.
Ethereum made it programmable.
Ethereum Classic kept both.
Programmable Digital Gold.
In 1991, Philip Zimmermann released PGP, bringing strong encryption to ordinary people.
The @NSAGov opposed its export, and the U.S. government investigated him for three years.
What was at stake? The right to use powerful cryptography without government permission.
That same cypherpunk spirit lives on in Ethereum Classic.
Proof-of-Work. Censorship resistance. Immutability.
Watch the full video from the Proof-of-Work Summit in Prague, co-hosted by @ETCCooperative.

People said Ethereum Classic was dead. Miners didn’t get the memo.
Hashrate went from ~144 Th/s in early September to ~210 Th/s today, up 46% in under two months.
That’s real energy securing the chain.⚡️
Same EVM you already know. Chain ID 61.
Bitcoin: Proof-of-Work, no smart contracts.
Ethereum: smart contracts, no Proof-of-Work.
#EthereumClassic: both, with a fixed supply.
Ethereum technology with Bitcoin philosophy.

10 years ago this week, #EthereumClassic made its first hard fork as an independent chain.
ECIP-1015: the fix for the 2016 Shanghai spam attacks, three months after ETC refused to fork over The DAO.
Fork to upgrade technology. Never to redirect funds.

Ethereum Classic hashrate, up ~38% since September.🔥
Sept 1: ~150 TH/s
Oct 25: ~207 TH/s
More hashrate. More energy. More security.

Your weekend listen 🎧
"Code is law" gets quoted constantly. Rarely explained.
On ETC Community Call 16, Donald McIntyre traces it back to the founding documents and lays out the ten principles underneath it.

In 2016, rewriting the ledger would have been the easier and more popular choice. Ethereum Classic didn’t make it.
That’s what “code is law” meant when it mattered: a decision with a cost, kept for ten years.

Running your own node is the difference between believing the chain and knowing it.
No third party. No API key. No one in between.
It’s the most underrated thing anyone in this community can do.

Throwback to EthCC in Paris in 2022, Vitalik Buterin called Ethereum Classic “the original Ethereum” and told the room: “If you like Proof of Work, you should go use Ethereum Classic. It’s a totally fine chain.”
Four years later, it’s still running.🍀
