This time it's going steady peasy to the moon... looks like the entire planet is hungry for BTC

They answered one of my tickets (but not the one that I wanted them to reply to...) a few weeks later.

So, the good news is you have good hope to eventually recover your money, the bad news is it could take weeks given their response rate.

I guess the only option if you don't want to run into the ticket waiting game again is to avoid them altogether.

New diff has kicked in: 291,428,191,068 (at height 483840)

I think he might have been mislead by cash.coin.dance, its data source node must have crashed at height 483780 about an hour ago

Well, as long as profitability is higher, no one will have enough.

However, let me remind you that the block reward will halve from 12.5 to 6.25 BCH/block at height 630'000, and unlike the Bitcoin Core network, transaction fees are nowhere near compensating this in the foreseeable future, even less with 8MB blocks.

So, that might be interesting

Tu peux dire merci à Bitcoin Cash

J'ai jamais vu des fees aussi élevés, et je ne sais même pas si SegWit va aider en quoi que ce soit. En gros, dans les conditions actuelles, tout transfert qui vaut moins de $10k sur la chaîne BTC devient un grand luxe. Pour les très gros montants, ça reste pas cher. On se rapproche donc de la vision store-of-value (digital gold), laissant le marché des transactions courantes à d'autres chaînes (ou DAG).

Y'a pas à dire, le monde des cryptos n'arrêtera jamais de me divertir

Yes you should use imgur instead.

I've got stuck as well (but not much) because Bitstamp transfered my ETH as a smart contract (doh!) and of course Bitfinex doesn't support that yet. They said on their Twitter that they will answer all tickets soon:

Rick Falkvinge actually has some good points.

As I said from the start, BCash is actually a good thing in my opinion:

• It allows grassroots, all-on-chain Bitcoiners to preserve "their" coin with the same blockchain technology that has been running Bitcoin from the start, without Segwit and/or Lightning/sidechains kicking in
  
  
• It allows more institutional, industry big players to carry on with their expansion/extension plan for Bitcoin (Core). Segwit, Lightning and side chains in general are a good thing IMO, they put Bitcoin on par with Ethereum and help solve many parts of the blockchain scalability issues: no one could argue that raising the block size forever is a fix to the quadratic problem of tx verification costs, etc.

Again, and one more time, what bothers me is the name (and logo) Bitcoin Cash that I find confusing. I totally get the idea of claiming the name Bitcoin, as in "genuine" Bitcoin, for legacy and/or continuity. But for everyone that was not involved in the crypto world before August 1, the ambiguity of the names "Bitcoin (Core)" and "Bitcoin Cash" will undoubtedly be confusing at best. Both will claim to be the "original", with both being right to some extent when arguing from different perspectives.

Anyone else thinks Bitcoin Cash needs rebranding? I mean name and logo here.

Just as a reminder, there are many such coins like this already. For example, Litecoin (started in 2011) uses 2.5 minutes mean block intervals. There have been many others with even shorted block periods, giving essentially what you described, i.e. many orphans.

The major argument against this is that confirmations are supposed to reflect how securely transactions have been settled, and to put it simple, you need 60 confirmations from a 10 second interval chain to "match" the level of security of 1 confirmation on a 10 minutes interval chain (with hashrates supposed being equal for this comparison). The only upside is that on-chain transactions (even with fewer confs) are by far more secure than zero-conf transactions.

Fine work, thank you! I will try to catch attention from online merchants about this.

Now these are real, bullish news 

I like the idea of BCash added to Blockchain.info wallet

Yeah brace yourselves for a month of winter now with the new diff

Amazing how BCash captured significant % of Bitcoin difficulty in the last few days, though

404 bonnes raisons de ne pas en posséder, en effet.

tl;dr = Investors through South Korean exchanges have been buying BCash massively over the last few days. Huge money, big deal.

Block 480182 has been mined by Con Kolivas himself Or is is just experimental on his pool, I don't know

Maybe ckpool will soon propose BCash mining?

The new mining dynamics have to settle before any conclusion can be made on the future of the chains.

But this unprecedented move was stunning to say the least, I'm glad that I didn't sell out all my BCash after all

It isn't news at all, most hash power (I'd say ~65%-75%) is in China.

In other non-news, >80% of the world manufacturing is in China, too.

No, the world will not collapse

It seems that the hashrate is catching up, now we should expect more major "coin agnostic" miners to move to the BCash chain, at least temporarily. Does anyone know at which block height the next difficulty retarget is planned to happen? With the UAHF special adjustments, I don't know exactly how to calculate this.

It will be interesting to monitor the effect on the main chain (Core) after a week or two, if the price stays above $1k until then.

It is listed on coinmarketcap, ticket is GBYTE

Since the majority of the networks seems to solo mine, I don't really get why we don't see a massive hashrate inrush. We have crossed the line of profitability by a great deal now and we still can't really see any movement on that front.

Eventually we will, but how long will it take (and will the price stay above $700...)
