I just finished reading Aggroeds post all about it, im a little relieved,...thanks for the update.
If you're familiar with the eth and eth classic debate, i think the success of which ever fork depends a lot on its community. Look at ethereum today, ethereum classic is in the shadows being the first chain.
One unique factor of ethereum is its desire to innovate, and a community to support. Then they also had tens of more partnerships than ethereum classic.
So i think as much as Hive has a community, one other thing should be patnerships...
Its fun watching it all
