The median Ethereum Classic transaction fee in September was 0.00021 $ETC, about $0.0016 at today’s price, less than a fifth of a cent. A dollar covers about 600 transactions. Users won’t even notice the fee. The query is in the reply if you want to check it.

For its first week, nobody could send a single transaction on #Ethereum. The network launched "frozen." Blocks were mined and rewarded, but miners had to thaw it block by block before the first transactions landed in block 46,147, on 7 August 2015. #EthereumClassic shares every block of that history, up to the 2016 split. Genesis to the first transactions, in one query.

Ethereum and Ethereum Classic share every block up to 1,919,999. At block 1,920,000, on July 20, 2016, #Ethereum forked to reverse the DAO hack. The two chains have had different blocks ever since. With both chains in BigQuery, one query shows the exact block where they split. classix.dev/etc-in-bigquery

The top 10 ETC holders at block 1,920,000, where Ethereum and Ethereum Classic split. #4 is the DAO attacker, with 3.64M $ETC. #2 and #9 are the White Hat DAOs, holding about 7.88M ETC rescued from The DAO. On #Ethereum, the fork moved all of those funds into a refund contract. On #EthereumClassic nothing moved, so they show up here exactly where they sat. The rest of the list is the 2016 ecosystem: four exchanges (Kraken, Poloniex, Bitfinex and Gemini), the Ethereum Foundation’s EthDev wallet and a genesis address. An archive node can’t give you this list without going through the whole chain. In BigQuery, it’s one query. 👇

3/ Same schema as Google's Ethereum dataset: Ethereum queries, including awesome-bigquery-views, run on ETC once you change the dataset name. Built from two Project Triforce archive nodes using ethereum-etl. This stands on the open-source schema and tooling @EvgeMedvedev, @allenday and the blockchain-etl team built for Google's original datasets.

2/ Google's original $ETC dataset stopped on November 22, 2020, at block 11,661,234. The chain is past block 25.4 million. So more than half of ETC's history was missing from where most analysts look. Now it's all there.

1/ Last week we put Ethereum Classic back in Google BigQuery. Every block, transaction, log, token transfer and trace, from genesis to today: classix-etc-data.crypto_ethereum_classic Public, kept current, first TiB of queries a month free.

Vitalik: "Ethereum itself must pass the walkaway test." Same test for $ETC's infrastructure: remove any one operator and the chain should keep running. Classix is one tile in a mosaic of devs, miners and node operators. Success means mattering less. classix.dev/the-praxeology-o…

A chain is only as decentralized as its centralized bottleneck. That means more than one of: Clients Mining pools Exchanges RPC endpoints + explorers Dev funding sources Including teams — that means us too. Why Every Part of the Stack Needs a Backup ⤵ classix.dev/the-praxeology-o…

Two towers can look identical from the street. The difference is underground: Layer 1: the chain Layer 0: the people Layer -1: the principles beneath the people Soil moves. Bedrock doesn't. Why $ETC's foundations hold. Read more below. classix.dev/the-praxeology-o… by @Istora_ETC
