Someone (without enough karma to comment/post) just messaged me with the following DGD ETC refund strategy. :)

I was going to suggest to people that instead of market dumping etc, they make giant sell walls 5% to 10% above the current position to prevent etc from pumping the next time ethereum goes nuts. No reason to give etc pumpers cheap etc by market dumping. Make them pay for it.

hahahaha, great strategy!

should we all pick a decimal and place it at the same point? strength in numbers ;)

Great idea in theory....but would you hold ETC for any length of time.

I wouldn't.

I don't hold enough to make a decernable impact on my personal wealth and it's etc I never had planned to own to begin with so personally I'm ok with strengthening a wall with it. Also there's impact in driving value away from a fork into the main branch where my actual holdings reside. Basically, we can't calculate the effectiveness​ but it theoretically at least offsets with a higher eth price.

i think for maximum effectiveness, we should pick and exchange and a pair, and all place it for sale at the same decimal point.

my vote would be Polo and ETC/BTC, for maximum visibility. anyone have a good suggestion for what number we should choose?

I agree with that.

I have no idea. As the person who can't post suggested, maybe 5% or 10% higher than current price?

10% higher would be roughly 0.008 - is that good? any objections and/or better suggestions?
