Ethereum Classic Undergoes Thanos Hard Fork Upgrade for Improved GPU Miner Access

After crossing the 11.7 million block height milestone, Ethereum Classic (ETC) has undergone a hard fork to bring about the anticipated Thanos upgrade. The Ethereum fork has suffered numerous security issues with multiple 51% attacks and proponents are hoping the new Thanos upgrade will provide much-needed network fidelity while allowing GPU-based mining to continue.
Ethereum classic, like other GPU mining based “coins” regularly have to initiate protocol upgrades that make their chains ASIC-resistant. In a blog post explaining the rationale for the Thanos upgrade, Ethereum Classic core developer Luke Williams declared that the original parameters of the DAG protocol became too aggressive for GPU miners to cope.
