So Classic is dead... what now?

Classic relied on a miner vote, but it has become pretty clear that the miners are now very few people and their interests are not necessarily aligned with the normal Bitcoin user seeking freedom.

With Blockstream/Core having Bitcoin in a total stranglehold controlling communication channels, older uninformed nodes/users and miners, Bitcoin is on the way to becoming another centralized Ripple.

While it is perfectly possible that such a system will continue, do some function and even maintain price its not what I signed up for.

There are ways to force a hard fork to occur that ignores miners.

We could even require that at least 1 of the past 1000 blocks are signed by someone we like and let the sum of nodes reach a consensus on who should get to mint blocks.

Question is, is anyone up for it? Do you want give miners less importance and move forward?

Alternative question.. what the hell do I do with my coins? I can't just sell for fiat.. what a mess.
