.VitalikButerin claims that proof-of-work forks are unlikely to gain a lot of traction
has dismissed concerns regarding the brewing civil war within the community, Fortune reports.
The Canadian programmer believes that potential hard forks are not going to cause any significant harm to Ethereum. Buterin says that the members of the community have rallied around the upgrade, which means that any attempts to launch competing versions of the chain are unlikely to gain much traction with disgruntled miners.
The Ethereum co-founder claims that those who are advocating for forking the chain are opportunists who are desperate to capitalize on the merge event. Ethereum Classic, a hard fork that was launched in July 2016 after the infamous DAO hack, will attract those members of the community who want to stick with the proof-of-work consensus mechanism. Hence, new forks are unlikely to gain a significant portion of supporters within the ecosystem.
