Would you like to see Bitcoin Cash become a Cardano Partnerchain upgraded with Useful Proof of Work Leios, NiPoPoWs, and Ergo tech, thus being the fastest and most useful proof of work chain ever built?

To the contrary, 34% of the voters do not support the proposal, with one responder saying it would be easier to leverage Ergo. Another, @matudavis, says, “Bitcoin Cash feels like we are reaching for something that is dying and very opposite of Cardano.”

Bitcoin Cash feels like we are reaching for something that is dying and very opposite of Cardano. Why would we want that? I’d say just focus on making Cardano a powerhouse. Stand out on its own. No reason to go down rabbit holes. Kind of like Ethereum Classic.

Another interesting response from @Bryant_Austin_, reads, “I voted yes, but would love more to see this energy and support directed to Ergo smart contract platform.” Overall, many of those who are for the proposal say Ergo would make for a better integration.
