The much-awaited Ethereum [ETH] Merge is across the nook. Nonetheless, the mining group is continuous to seek for new alternate options to maintain their operations going.
Whereas a number of miners are getting into different networks, akin to Ethereum Basic [ETC] and Ravencoin [RVN], some are siding a tough fork, Ethereum PoW. Lately, the ETHW group revealed an open letter addressing the Ethereum group relating to sure selections and updates of their plan.
Pumped and Prepared
Because the ETHW group builds its ecosystem, it introduced that no contract pool on the ETHW could be restricted in any method. The group additional opposed the concept of integrating the contract freezing expertise into the primary core.
Furthermore, the letter additionally talked about absolute adherence to the current ETHW ledger and the absence of any centralized or regulated expertise. Apparently, the ETHW group additionally acknowledged that they might welcome wallets from any consumer. These embody peculiar wallets, on-chain multi-signature wallets, and even hackers’ wallets.

Not every part is ok
MarkerDAO not too long ago revealed a brand new document which highlights the potential threats which may come together with the Merge. Moreover, a brand new PoW token may very well be created.
As soon as the Merge takes place, a forked Ethereum PoW chain seems to be imminent, with a non-zero probability that it’s going to use the identical chainId because the PoS chain.
What are the implications of this threat for the Maker Protocol, Dai, and MKR holders?

Furtehrmore, when forked tokens are created, they are going to enhance the possibilities of a replay assault. A replay assault is taking a transaction from one community and utilizing it on one other community.
The forked Ethereum PoW community may be replayed on the Ethereum PoS community in the event that they share the identical chainId. The ETHW additionally identified this station in a current tweet.

Supply: 2Miners
Whereas evaluating each the token’s costs, ETC registered monumental progress, and ETHW’s worth continued to say no since its launch.
On the time of writing, ETHW was buying and selling at $28.18, with a adverse 18% 24-hour efficiency. ETC was priced at $38.76, with optimistic 5.5% 24-hour good points.
