My description of the Total Active Community (TAC) of Ethereum Classic:
First Core (proactive participants, with decision on rule proposal):
• Core developers actively contributing to Classic Geth and the ECIP process (including members and admins on Github ETC organization)
• All individuals participating on Discord, social media and Meetups in current topics
• ETC Cooperative
• DCG
• Grayscale
• IOHK
• DFG
• ETC Labs
Second Core (reactive participants, with decision on rule adoption):
• Mining Pools (27)
• Exchanges (62) <- there are some more
• Wallets (5) <- must be many more
• Dapp developers
• Block explorers
• Cloud node services (Epool.io, Ethernode.io, GasTracker.io)
Third Core (reactive participants, but no decision on rule adoption):
• End users
• Speculators/traders
• Investors/HODLRS
• VCs/Institutions
• Media/bloggers/vloggers
There may be more layers that I’m just missing or forget to include.
[Source for mining pool, exchange and wallets was the doc for the last hard fork communications campaign, which has names and emails so I don’t want to dox people without permission.]
All of the above is to have a mental map of all the participants and to have in mind if we decide to change the Github as KryKoder seems to not have returned admin privileges to previous admins.
I also don’t know if the categorization is perfect (first, second, third cores) but it’s just a mental tool to see how we go about solving the Github change , if that happens.
