Not really more fact.

At the current rate you are mining 2016 blocksets in 2-3 days instead of 14 days essentially 4-5 times faster with the next halving being 610000 blocks that means you have 146386 blocks left and at we will call it 2.5 mins a block that means the halving will happen in 365965 mins or around 254 days which will be Monday, 7th May 2018 (give or take a month or 2) the miners will earn 6.25 per block.

At current values the BCH chain needs to be running at around 6% of BTC to remain profitable after that date it will need to run at 3% just to remain profitable for the miners unless the value closes on the BTC value if it drops further behind then you are looking at needing to run under 3% possible down to 1% and during this time the BCH market is being flooded with coins that have the possibility to be sold faster than buyers essentially driving down the price.

BTC does have a downward adjustment and is due to drop around 40% essentially averaging normal times with the miners jumping back and forth it just cannot be manipulated like the BCH one which is a strength not a weekness

If BCH carries on manipulating the difficulty like this the block reward halving will happen next year essentially halving the profitability prematurely while at the same time flooding the network with coins causing hyper inflation and a reduced value

Keep smoking that magic stuff it's really working out for you and your gonna need it.

If you keep plowing through the blocks like you are then your gonna reach the reward halving very quick making this even less profitable to mine than it is now

The next difficulty adjustment is looking to be 4x less profitable according to fork.lol and I hope enough miners make sure you mine blocks just fast enough to stop the emergency reduction

No matter how you look at things every outcome of this coin has a bad ending

If Jihan had any faith in this he would let the user's decide but no he cannot do that he is purposely mining empty blocks and gaming the system to make this look better than it is because it's all he has

As the weeks go by you are slowly lowering your guard until it is a easy target for retaliation and your gonna be there bent over while Jihan rapes the lot of you

Well so far more stayed this time than last because BCH only gained a small profibility boost the difficulty will rise by 300% again in the next day or so and most if not all will switch back until the EDA kicks in but it will now need to drop further to be profitable so if things keep repeating like this you will get to the point of going through a full difficulty cycle in under 24h while the BTC difficulty slowly drops.

Like I've said before the BCH difficulty will get to the point it's so low any miner will be able to donate a small amount of hashing power to stop the EDA happening and making BCH very highly unprofitable

Right now it's all speculation but that's how I see it being played out

And the next difficulty adjustment will see BTC drop by probably 30-40% maybe more possibly over 100% it all depends on how BCH games the emergency difficulty bug/loophole and this will bring the normal speed back and forcing BCH further down just to remain profitable plus as people start getting given segwit addresses will allow more transactions per block

Technically BTC has already mined a block greater than 1MB which means it had some segwit transactions in it and this will just get larger as more and more start using segwit addresses

Dont forget the hyperinflation that this is causing

Either when the difficulty drops too far either Jihan Wu will need enough power to make sure an attack does not happen and make it unprofitable or keep difficulty low and profitable and at risk of attack take your pick

And the BTC difficulty will down adjust making it easier so your precious BCH difficulty will need to be lower just to maintain profibility the only one in a downward death spiral is BCH it's being forced down in difficulty and eventually a BTC miner will retaliate at 51% attack the network

And 99.9% if not 100% are legacy transactions you cannot compare these to segwit they are the exact same as BCH transactions.

Segwit may be active but it needs wallet devs to now release their segwit enabled wallets and to start issuing segwit addresses for users that wish to use them.

I will still be using a legacy address for cold storage because I'm not touching it so there is no need to have its witness segregated in the blocks.

So why is the 24h volume down about 70% someones not buying now and bithumb trading is way down to what is was and this was the main price driver

I hope they are some strong magic beans your collecting

Nothing like a good bit of bribery 

It's looking like the Koreans have finished pumping this now the 24h volume is dropping quite fast value should follow it

Mr Pump you will have a good time buying all these cheap beans

What this means is LN is basically free to use but the fee you pay on the blockchain when sending your bitcoin can be classed as a subscription fee

In other words instead of paying for every BTC transaction you just pay it once when you send the BTC to open the channel and this goes to the miners not blockstream

If I was to send you 1BTC now I will pay a fee and this fee is what's being referred to as what can be classed as a subscription   it is just a normal bitcoin transaction fee nothing more nothing less but that's the only fee you will pay no different that paying for every transaction on chain it all goes to the same place

You really do have a bad understanding of segwit and LN you perhaps should not read everything that has been twisted to make it sound bad and spread misinformation

Where do you get that blockstream gets a cut from a segwit address/transaction all segwit does is kind of rearrange the blocks to make them more efficient I think you have a lot of misconceptions as to what's really happening been reading too much fud from the BCH team

No not if you keep using a legacy address 1xxxxxxxxx....xxx to make it segwit it needs to go to a segwit address 3xxxxxx...xxx

If you carry on with a 1x address your transactions will be stored in blocks exactly the same as they are on BCH

My cold storage will always remain in a 1x legacy address and I will use a 3x segwit address for everyday usage

You won't see a massive drop everyone is still using legacy addresses still but new wallet addresses will start being segwit ones and only then will you see any effect from this

Segwit was more about fixing security issues that allow for greater improvements than scaling the scaling benefit is just a bonus

I think your really a secret BTC hoarder and just trying to drive price down to get them cheaper it's okay to admit if you ever feel you have made the wrong choice  

You don't have any seg coins unless you moved all your BTC to a segwit wallet you will still have a legacy wallet and coins 

With these often swings between chains is slowly lowering the BTC difficulty which means the BCH chain needs to run at a lower and lower difficulty just to remain profitable.

It will get to the point where the BCH difficulty is so low to remain profitable especially if the BTC value keeps increasing that they will be a easy target for any miner that wants to do malicious things 

There basically backing themselves into a corner just hoping no one gives them a beating

Antpools ratio on main chain seems to have dropped quite a bit but there does not seem to be a huge presence on here from them either wonder if it's related to loosing asicboost or some other thing
