Is this real life <| sep |> have Makes have <| sep |> I agree but part of this adventure we ' re on is to define processes to harden the network . So while I don ' t see this as a serious issue of tech viability , it ' s a serious issue in the maintenance of a chain . edge case that did not get detected in testing due to the novel nature of this most recent protocol upgradeIt ' s fair but let ' s go with no excuses . Just to illustrate , I ' m actually looking at this thinking how ETC can essentially use ETH as a staging network to guard itself from these sorts of unknowns . As a strategy , might be worthwhile to have a staging network that devs can use to test the specifics of their app followed by a notice period before following through to the ETH network . Whereas the test network can be reset , dish out free test tokens , etc . the staging network would intend to be immaculate unless there ' s failure in which case it gets rolled back and attempted again . This would also allow for devs to not only test changes to their app prior to deployment on test network but would also let them test effects of the changing platform on their app prior to its deployment . There are likely much better strategies we can put in place if we look for them , this is just an example . edit btw , be careful with any event that predictably impacts price positively or negatively . these are points of potential manipulation . as the developer pool grows around these technologies it may become harder to simply trust developer intentions and an event like this could be manufactured without conspiracy .
