Jaxx Says Ethereum Classic’s Rejection By iOS App Store Is “Apple’s Loss”

 Tweets from jaxx say Apple has rejected its application to integrate Ethereum Classic ETC into its wallet on the iOS App Store but didn’t specify why. 

 The creators of the universal Blockchain wallet had integrated ETC into its suite of software wallets on seven different platforms and submitted an updated version of its app for Apple’s approval.free wallet, whose app is on Apple’s App Store, said it took some effort to pass through Apple's approval system."To be approved by Apple, you need an authentication option not related to social networks (e-mail or phone number)," FreeWallet CEO, , says in a statement to CoinTelegraph. "We were already implementing that, so it wasn't a problem actually. We respect the rules and regulations of every platform we publish on, and strictly follow the guidelines of Apple App Store. This is the key factor why Freewallet hasn't experienced any problems with publishing yet."

ETC “has deficits”

However,  whose company IOHK  build cryptocurrencies and Blockchains “serious deficits with ETC.”Key among them is the need for a re-branding and a media strategy to make new users understand ETC and how it differs from ETH; and a lack of an official or a reliable channel of information about the events of the ecosystem or commitments of various actors which he claims has lead to FUD, impersonations and attempts at market manipulation in the absence of clarity.Another potential problem is the fact that the Ethereum Foundation owns the Ethereum trademark with its continuous use likely to provoke a trademark infringement lawsuit to companies using the Ethereum brand and name.Hoskinson told CoinTelegraph that the factors are quite significant “which is why I mentioned them in my write up.”He added: “ETC is an organic and totally decentralized movement which is leaderless and doesn't have a particular direction at the moment. Thus, it's pulling into different domains searching for its sea legs.”

IOHK suggestions

He also noted in his piece that IOHK cannot move unilaterally to address all of these problems but can chart a course and invite the community to follow where necessary.Some of its next line of actions include selecting a community manager to assist meetup group founders, manage social media channels, broadcasting accurate information etc to  combat FUD and deal with the media entities; subsidize an educator to produce content on ETC ranging from the replay attack to new proposals suggested in various roadmaps; and considering ideas about smart contract languages coming from Synereo and Juno's Hopper with a partnership already entered into with Kent University to begin an analysis of the transaction languages used in cryptocurrencies.IOHK has chosen scorex 2 as a good base to bild the ETC Main Client and is proposing the formation of a federated group tentatively called the smart contract engineering task force to guide the roadmap process. It is also making a commitment to not use the Ethereum brand or name in its repos or company assets.
