People are saying it is taking a very long to transfer BCC BCH. Has anybody transferred today? How long is it taking? What type of fees is being charged?
Fee is still cheaper than dirt. It's taking longer to transfer
BCH because difficulty increased on BCH at the same time difficulty dropped on BTC. So the difficulty is higher and the available hashpower is lower, double whammy.
Compare that to a day or two ago when BTC's mempool was flooded, all kinds of people had transactions stuck, even with the increased hashpower it is still flooded.
I believe that eventually BCH will become the dominant chain simply because it is more profitable for the dominant traders if it replaces BTC. It's also the better technology but people will debate that all the way up until it becomes the economic reality that BCH is preferred and that they must adapt. Even after the flippening people will be jilted that they were cheated unfairly although it was ultimately their own choice not to hold onto their BCH. People are being suckered into parting from their share dividend, or rather, selling their BCH which is the actual share and holding the dividend which is the segwitified-BTC.
You are absolutely right that it's taking longer and longer to transfer BTC and fees are going higher. The most recent pump with BCH was most likely manipulated to pull as many of the miners away from BTC as possible. I know people that don't want to send BTC because of the fees going too high. How will Segwit effect the fees? It is a civil war that is destructive on both fronts when BTC is already making plenty of self-destructive decisions.
