Difficulty now 68222137509.71. I was close but no cigar. I though the biggest difficulty drop was 40%. Apparently it's not exactly 40%. I'll have to brush up on this.

I just researched. BTC top did not start signalling support for Segwit until block 476775 at Thursday, July 20th 2017, 19:39:56 -06:00. Not exactly what I would consider a staunch segwit supporter. More like deciding to go along with BIP91, which all the pools did so they wouldn't get their blocks orphaned.

Why the quote from Wu with the tweet? Is BTC.top a segwit fan pool?

The most logical thing to do is to switch. Of course there is the consideration of stability. A miner might be concerned that by the time they can get their BCH to market, the price would crash. If they were mining to HODL, they would be speculating that the long term price of Bitcoin Cash would hold.

Furthermore, there are not enough pools currently available for miners to enroll with. I tried about a week or two ago to enroll with ViaBTC, and it wouldn't let me. I tried to enlist with Bitclub about two years ago, and they would not take US customers. The hashrate on suprnova and Bitcoin.com are rather low. I rented some hash for shits and giggles and pointed it to Bitcoin.com, but it does not appear that they will be hitting a block anytime soon. Antpool needs to get up and running with BCH. UAHF is Wu's brain child after all. He needs to give his customers the chance to share in the bounty. (We are not certain, but it is probable the mystery hash is Bitmain's private ASICS.)

If I plug in the figures on CoinWarz, if BCH price was on parity with BTC with a rig that hashed 9.46TH at 2600 W and .10 KW/hr, you would profit $82.74 a day with BCH and $4.88 per day with BTC. That would actually be about 1695%.

You didn't add the bit about miners on the other chain losing 10 billion dollars a day. There is nothing to debunk here. Completely factual.

And who am I? I'm a Legendary. Doesn't that alone get any respect around here anymore?

Make another post that can be easily debunked with grammar school math. I'll be happy to troll you. 

Some deep pockets need to fund reverse engineering that chip. Surely, its worth somebody's while. Or is it?

Satoshi would have preferred the community come to a consensus rather than create contentious hardforks. Oh well, he also made his program open sourced, and therefore permissionless. Therefore, let these rebels enjoy their coup.  

Same for me. Hopefully this is a maintenance issue.

Hope so. I watched several 100+ BTC walls get eaten on Bitfinex about 8 hours ago for cheap. If it Ver, the sooner he can dispose of his large BTC stash and convert to BCH, the better. Good riddance! At least Ver isn't trying to just dump all his BTC in one fell swoop. (If it is Ver.) How many does he own?

Because those South Koreans decided to abandon the kimchi and gobble up some BCH..

How do I get on the payroll? Why FUD for free when I can get paid?! BTCBTCBTC

Let's see what happens on block 479808, when the difficulty may drop 40%. It may actually be worth it for me to dig out my old Rockminer and put up with the noise. It may even be worth it for me to plug in my USB stick.  

I'm afraid Bitcoin Cash will be like Michael Myers. It will keep coming back no matter what is thrown at it. Let's hope BTC is like Laurie Strode, though.

Hashnest is cloud mining. I don't own any miners myself. (Actually, I do, but they are obsolete.) I live in an apartment, and the noise of a Asic miner just isn't going to work for me. The noise of the fans are about as irritating as scratching a chalkboard to me. Sometimes, even the fan on my desktop and cable box irritate me.

Yes. Really wish Bitmain would let their Antpool and Hashnest users have the option to mine Bitcoin Cash. After all, it's probably Bitmain that is behind the "mystery" miners. Can't they share the bounty with their customers? I only have 157 GH of S9 on Hashnest, but it would be nice to have an option. Probably, it's very difficult to program in the changes though...

See my response to this exact same message here.

If you are going to be a shill, at least make your figures believable. Otherwise, you just hurt bitcoin cash by being a complete idiot.
P.S. the math I used is usually mastered by the 5th grade in the US...

It would help if Bitmain opened up Antpool to Bitcoin Cash as well as Hashnest, instead of doing all the mining on their private Asics.


Where on Earth are you coming up with 10 billion dollars per day? If Bitcoin Cash went for $1000 per coin, that would be $12,500 per block. The miners would need to mine 800,000 blocks in one day, to make 10 Billion dollars. That would be more than 9 blocks per second. The network would definitely fork all over the place at that rate.  

Bitcoin hasn't even mined 800,000 blocks in its entire existence....

That's a good way to dispose of your BTC for BCH. Suprnova was running a pool. They mined one whole block many days ago. But I don't know if it is still up or if Ocminer just wanted to make a special statement.
