This was a really good synopsis of the current situation. Thanks for that!

Last night I made a post partially about the long-term implications of replay attacks on ETC and how the only way to mitigate that threat (if ETC is to have the same kind of long term functionality as ETH) might be for ETC itself to hard fork (as recently highlighted by Vlad Zamfir on twitter).

What are your thoughts on that? Do you think the current short term support of ETC is overlooking that long term issue?
