Buy Ethereum Classic (ETC) in Somalia

Cryptocurrency is virtual money, payments which take place in a decentralized (uncontrolled) system. But if you take a closer look at the concept, then this is the result of computer calculations; electronic registers storing information about how much electronic money the user has and where he transfers it.

Today, digital currencies are gradually becoming a serious competitor to the traditional financial system. Ordinary modern money issued by central banks is not backed by gold or other precious metals.

Central banks do not control the exchange rate of national currencies, but they can influence the amount of money in circulation and other parameters. Digital currency, in comparison with fiat currencies, is transparent, and its quantity is limited by mathematical formulas, and not by the interests of states.

Usually, in order to transfer money from one person to another, an intermediary is needed. Things are different with electronic money. Digital money is built on a blockchain system - a chain of information blocks. They are used to transfer digital money from person to person without an intermediary.

Development of decentralized financial instruments, applications, creation of smart contracts is a promising and rapidly growing area. Many blockchain projects are open source. Not all of them offer programmers a variety of tools and libraries. Classic Ether aims to create a comfortable environment and an active developer community.

What is Ethereum Classic (ETC)?

Ether Classic is a public decentralized blockchain platform that supports smart contracts. The project is based on its own cryptocurrency.

The environment is intended for free development of applications and services. It allows users to manage digital assets without intermediaries in the form of banks and financial institutions, and programmers to create and implement smart contracts protected from censorship.

In August 2016, it was officially announced that at block 1,920,000 individuals united to support and continue the operation of the original Ether blockchain. Their basic principles:

• Freedom from censorship and fraud.
• 100% invariability.
  
• Non-interference of third parties.
  
• Lack of centralization.
  

In fact, the Classic version is the blockchain, as close as possible to the original developed by Vitalik Buterin. Ethereum (with the ETH token) is it's hard fork, that is, a modified version.

A hard fork is such a large fork of the blockchain with the introduction of global changes to the protocol that a new chain appears as a result.

To understand why it was created and why ETC still functions on a par with ETH, it is important to know the background:

April 2016		Slock IT announced crowdfunding (fundraising) for the launch of DAO - a decentralized organization that offers a new innovative form of investment.
May 2016		The platform was launched and started working on the basis of the Ethereum blockchain and its smart contract system. But the development team ignored the discovered critical vulnerability in the project's code.
June 2016		A hacker attack was carried out, as a result of which about 11 million ETH were lost.
July 2016		The Ethereum Foundation (a non-profit organization that includes the development group that was at the heart of Ethereum) intervened in the network. As a result, changes were made to bring the blockchain back to its pre-attack state.

The Ethereum Foundation was confident that the old chain would die after the hard fork. But that was a mistake. The old chain was supported by a group of enthusiasts. But enthusiasts intervened and tried to restore the unmodified client to the hard fork.

Then the Poloniex crypto exchange announced the placement of the unmodified chain and its tokens, the ETC cryptocurrency.

This is how the names of the network and coins appeared (another name that began to appear was Ether Сlassic). For each ETH, token holders received ETC (1 to 1 ratio). However, the price of the new altcoin quickly collapsed, which is not uncommon in the digital coin market. All users began to massively sell their digital currency ETC.

Like any digital currency, Ethereum Classic has its own characteristics:

Decentralization		Immutability		Sustainability
Lack of a governing body		The registry stores all information since 2015		Contracts are executed as they were programmed. External edits are excluded
