Shapeshift has launched a new tool – Shapeshift Ethereum Splitter – that helps users split the Ethereum based cryptotokens: ETH and ETC.The Ethereum blockchain project had split into two following its hard fork last month.With Ethereum (ETH) continuing on a new fork, the original blockchain has continued to operate as Ethereum Classic (ETC).Unexpectedly, Ethereum Classic has now become one of the popular digital currencies.But these two Ethereum versions – ETH and ETC – has led to the problem of ‘Replay Attacks’.Both Ethereum and Ethereum Classic have originated from the same blockchain, which means, they both can carry similar addresses as well.Any Ethereum holding or transactions conducted before the hard fork contains both ETH and ETC tokens.This can potentially give rise to replay attacks where the user may lose ETC or ETH while making a transaction on their respective blockchains.In order to avoid losses, it is advisable to split the existing Ether balance from before the hard fork to ETH and ETC into separate wallets.

Once the tokens are split, one can continue using either ETH, ETC or both like any regular cryptocurrency.bitcoin crime statisticsThere are plenty of resources available on the internet which offers step by step directions to split ether to ETH and ETC.

I pointed out in early Jan 2017 that the 2 big plays of 2017 would be $ZECBTC and $ETCBTC, and that I don't see this happening until somewhere Mid-2017.More recently, I expressed that ETC has the potential to outperform ETH.Not taking any position just yet.Otherwise, consider a long at the bottom of the channel with a small stop loss - quite a straight forward play with a large R/R.Share your thoughts; what do you think will happen between $ETC & $ETH?Trade ETH & ETC with up to 33x leverage on BitMEX!A lot of what I'm saying in terms of timelines depend largely on $BTC breaking -1.50% with a parabolic move sometime in June-August.However, in another scenario I could see this happen 2 months earlier.There are various reasons why I say so, but god knows what will happen.Related Ideas about ETCETHInteresting things are taking place within the Ethereum ecosystem.Most people tend to forget there are two currencies out there: ETH and ETC.For the longest time, people expected Ethereum Classic to die a slow death.

However, it looks like the currency is slowly making a name for itself.In fact, the ratio between ETH and ETC broke under 10:1 this week.An intriguing development, or just a fluke?ETH and ETC Ratio is Fluctuating In Favor of Ethereum Classic It is quite interesting to see how has been doing these past few days.It seems this currency is finally finding its position on the market.Ethereum Classic and Ethereum are both different coins, although they share nearly all of the same technology.This means anyone can build Dapps and smart contract son top of Ethereum Classic’s blockchain if they wanted to do so.That being said, the between ETH and ETC has undergone some drastic changes.Considering some Ethereum users feel Classic has no value whatsoever, this shift in momentum is even more noteworthy.As of last night, the ratio between the two currencies was under 10:1.That means one ETC is worth roughly 10% the Ether value.Although this may seem like a minor change, it is still a sign Ethereum Classic will not go away anytime soon.
