ETH Classic survived the exploit
How did the exploit disrupt normal operation in the ETC network? Quite significantly, even so much so that the ETC mainnet had to split up on 3 September. The attacker managed to discover malicious code in the “Go ETH” project. According to recorded data, there were more than 20% hash rate on the wave of decline.
Most likely, the decline was due to miners or pools that used an unauthorized version of Coregeth. However, by the time the problem was resolved, the damage was significant. This situation was also able to negatively disrupt the issuance of ETC. Emissions began to fall to their lowest level 20 300 ETC.
How did investors react?
Fortunately, investors did not react to this moment as expected. The developers managed to solve the problem very quickly, albeit with considerable damage. The number of active addresses increased to 37,700. Daily volumes were also able to jump up to $ 228 million.
Looking to the future, it therefore seems that investing in this project can be safe.
