It has now been over a month since Ethereum Classic was left for dead. No one expected ETC to survive much less to grow and prosper. But ETC has gone against the odds and is getting stronger as the days go by. In this post, we shall highlight a few objective details which support our claim.





Reddit subscribers

The subscribers to the EthereumClassic subreddit has jumped to 2569 readers in a month. This number is only part of the picture. The average number of users online is 37 which is the third highest for any crypto. Only Bitcoin & Ethereum has a more active community on Reddit.





Diversity of mining pools

Having a diversified network of miners is essential for the security and growth of any proof of work cryptocurrency. In over a month there has been a large and dispersed group of miners which have decided to secure the Ethereum Classic network.





The health of the ETC network has also stabilized with a current hash rate of 625 GH/s.









Volume

Trading volume is another strong indicator of the growth of a coin, ETC's volumes are only 2nd to Bitcoin over the last 30 days.





The above are some objective and simple indications which show that Ethereum Classic is not just surviving but is actually prospering. This scenario would have been farfetched during the week before the hard fork.
