Bitcoin Cash Block Production Accelerates as Mining Difficulty Adjusts

After a slow start, blocks on the newly launched bitcoin cash blockchain are now being mined more frequently.
When the cryptocurrency originally split from the main bitcoin blockchain earlier this week, blocks were crawling in, with the first one taking about five hours to find and another taking nearly 13 hours. This came as no surprise to many, since bitcoin cash has much less mining power (with only a few groups, ViaBTC, Bitcoin.com and other unknowns securing the new blockchain).
