Heading to #Devcon8 in Mumbai?
We're hosting an Ethereum Classic meetup on Nov 2, right after Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress #3.
We'll talk proof-of-work, client diversity, cypherpunk values, EVM symbiosis, and a lot more.
Free and open to all. RSVP below.

One of the best ways to contribute to Ethereum Classic is to run a node. 📡
This guide walks you step by step through getting set up and building core-geth from source. 🧑🏻💻
#VeriFriday-002
Running your own node is the difference between believing the chain and knowing it.
No third party. No API key. No one in between.
It’s the most underrated thing anyone in this community can do.

#Bitcoin proved proof-of-work money works.
#Ethereum made it programmable.
#Zcash keeps pushing proof-of-work forward on privacy and payment speed.
#EthereumClassic added zk-proof verification in 2019, and is still learning from all three.
That’s proof-of-work symbiosis.

Ethereum aims for “centuries-long cryptographic security, via hash-based schemes.” For its consensus, that means new keys for every validator.
Ethereum Classic’s proof-of-work already rests on hashes. Its consensus needs no migration.
Same EVM. Same Solidity. Same tooling. Same contracts.

1/ Project Triforce is a grid of Ethereum Classic nodes we run. It serves the public RPC and watches the network: client diversity, reorgs, the mempool and every peer it can see.
Four clients. Three providers. Three regions. Three sync modes.
Here’s why each number is there. 🧵

Join us after for a small Ethereum Classic meetup, the night before Devcon.
📍 Leopold Cafe, Colaba - 7pm
Quantum. Proof-of-Work. Cypherpunk roots. Where the EVM goes next.
Any chain, any background. Free

Zcash’s preconfirmations proposal: merchants get a signed receipt that a payment is on its way into a block.
Accept payments in seconds, not after confirmations. No consensus change, and it fits any proof-of-work chain, including Ethereum Classic.
Is it worth building on $ETC?

3/ Three providers (OVH, Cherry Servers and Latitude.sh) across the Americas, EMEA and APAC. No two nodes share a physical facility.
rpc.classix.dev sends you to the nearest region automatically.
4/ Three sync modes: archive, full and snap. They should always agree on the canonical chain.When they don’t, the dashboard shows it straight away.
That signal is the point.

At TOKEN2049, Josh Swihart (@jswihart) of ZODL spoke in front of a photo of Prague, 1989.
The idea is parallel polis: if you can’t reform the institutions you have, build the ones you need beside them.
$ETC knows the move. In 2016 a small group couldn’t stop the fork, so they kept the original chain running beside it.

Three ideas we brought home from #TOKEN2049🇸🇬
• Preconfirmations: merchants can accept ETC in seconds, with no protocol change
• Hash-based security: #ETH is heading there, ETC is already there
• Cypherpunk roots: Zcash tells the story loudly, ETC should more often
Which should $ETC take on first?
DECLARE etc_usd FLOAT64 DEFAULT 0.0; -- put today's ETC price here
SELECT
FORMAT('%.6f', median_fee_etc) AS median_fee_etc,
FORMAT('%.4f', median_fee_etc * etc_usd) AS median_fee_usd
FROM (
SELECT APPROX_QUANTILES(receipt_gas_used * gas_price / 1e18, 100)[OFFSET(50)] AS median_fee_etc
FROM `classix-etc-data.crypto_ethereum_classic.transactions`
WHERE block_timestamp >= '2026-09-01' AND block_timestamp < '2026-10-01'
)
