Bitcoin Classic celebrated its first mined block today. This comes as their node count has been growing healthily to about 15% of the current clients running out there. The subreddit r/btc which is for Bitcoin Classic supporters has been celebrating this.
Remember that BitcoinXT also had blocks mined and it ended up being a complete dud, so this is by no means an unprecedented event or a major move that confirms it will do great. It's just one step toward the hardfork process to keep an eye on.
Classic supporters are up against some serious heat now though. While most bitcoin stakeholders do support bigger block capacity, they also do NOT support a contentious hard-fork, and major consensus has already been communicated to this effect.
