Tron founder Justin Sun is a primary supporter of prominent Chinese miner Chandler Guo’s plan to remain in Ethereum proof-of-work (PoW). Once Ethereum moves to proof-of-stake (PoS), miners will become obsolete. Therefore, the EthereumPoW community was established to perform a PoW fork of Ethereum. Thus, miners can continue mining Ethereum PoW Blockchain ETH.
However, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and other crypto influencers believe that miners should switch to Ethereum Classic. The Ethereum Classic community and the ETC Cooperative organization think that the Ethereum hard fork will not work. He urges ETHPoW to drop the PoW hard fork plan. Meanwhile, Chandler Guo and EthereumPoW are confident that they will successfully complete all preparations for the Ethereum hard fork before Merging.
