Can someone let me know if BCH's difficulty is scheduled to reduce any time soon?
I'm trying to target a date that might happen to be on the alert for a new pump/dump in case we get a round 2 of what we experienced this past weekend.

What's he, the father of high freq trading, really concerned about? That the 'real economy' is just a sham of made up numbers on trader's screens? The whole thing sounds very fragile if it cannot handle being linked to bitcoin through cash-settled futures trading.

I'm not exactly sure how Lightning is going to work, but I am almost certain that most people or entities that will open channels will close them within the day, probably a few times a day, or twice a day. So settle twice a day. If it were like one of my transactions, that's maybe $1m "settled" paid with $100 fee. Even if it were $1000 fee because of more inputs. as a multi-coiner...with over 100k in networth in coins...
let me enlighten you. Who here isn't a multi-coiner with over 100k (USD I presume) in networth in coins ... even if unrealized. All I did was join a half dozen ICOs last year and now I have 100k. (again, unrealized, but who cares, just HODL right...) noobs. hehehehe.

The real question is, the minimum fee we can pay is 1 sat, there is nothing less than 1 sat, right? No one answered this question. The minimum fee that is less than 1 sat is zero. Yes, zero fee is a valid transaction, but very few nodes will relay the transaction, and very few miners will include it in their blocks, so you almost never see them these days.

I get the total opposite impression myself. Mechanisms will evolve that mean once you're in you can stay in for good if you wish. But what do any of us know at this point?

Indeed. Hopefully there will be a less anti Western / pro China / pro North Korea leader in charge soon..
Really? You mean Zims will be better if colonial status is reestablished in this country? Of course not. Trade doesn't mean we go back to the British rule / pillaging / apartheid days. Surely it would be at least fruitful for the people of Zimbabwe and the Zimbabweans over here if the British prime minister made a statement about the situation in Zimbabwe and to at least state that Britain is open to have a conversation with whomever is in charge next to see if we can help. The British government has already stated many times that foreign aid will not be cut. I don't see why a Zimbabwe without a dictator could not benefit from that. There is life in the world outside of the EU and we should be keen to help considering the historical (mostly I agree negative) and language ties. BUT BUT by help do you mean send in the economic hitmen with globalization? IMF Trojan loans etc? Or by help do you mean covertly funding a coup and/or economic sanctions against the population aka IRAQ/IRAN/N.KOREA/VENEZUELA/CUBA etc Communist much? I dont know how to respond to this. American much?

Woke up to news of a military coup underway in Zimbabwe.
Crazy times we live in. But it's overdue, those poor people have suffered enough..
Indeed. Hopefully there will be a less anti Western / pro China / pro North Korea leader in charge soon. It would be good for the citizens if trade links with Britain and direct flights to Harare would be reestablished. Many Zims over here in the UK. YOU ARE JOKING RIGHT??? Its not like the West (UK/Europe/USA) have a track record of raping, enslaving and pillaging in the African continent right? Why dont those damn Africans and Middle Easterns hate us? Hmmmm let me think.... CHUMP Your response sounds quite chumpish. My comment was simply a desire of hoping the best for the people if Zimbabwe. With your chumpish attitude one could justify it is ok to destroy all Germans today for the atrocities committed in the second world war and so on until not a single human being is left on the face of this earth. Good luck selling your Bitcoins or paying with them then. If you think Zimbabwe is better of trading with asia that's fine. From a practical stand point I don't see this improving the situation for ordinary Zims quickly. Beyond South Africa, the diaspora has mostly been to western countries from what I know. Lets face it dont you think AFRICOM has something to do with this? You know China is doing deals with African countries where instead of dropping bombs or covert ops and supporting dictators USA style they are actively trying to do economic trade deals, infrastructure investments etc that can benefit the African countries. The US answer to countering China (good old anti-communism mindset) is to fund and direct military coups. hence why AFRICOM was setup by good old Change You Can Believe In Obama

...Lightning ... So settle twice a day.
Lightning atop Bitcoin Segwit? With everyone settling twice a day? Great - you've just set the max number of users at less than quarter-million. Is that what you wanted? If not, perhaps you need to devote more thought.

Well, you could settle your channels as frequently as you want if willing to pay the fee... but what I would do (or expect to do in the future) is opening a LN channel with one of the main hubs (call it coinbase/bitpay/blockstream/whatever) that have channels open with other main hubs and major retailers (ie starbucks). I mean, I won't open a channel directly to starbucks, I don't see the point. The hub will probably settle the channel with Starbucks with a high frequency depending on volume and then share the fees+costs+profit between the multiple LN users. Also, LN is not for those BIG transactions you mention, for those you use regular "blockchain" tx.

Yes, zero fee is a valid transaction, but very few nodes will relay the transaction, and very few miners will include it in their blocks, so you almost never see them these days. That is not precise. If the transaction is valid, every node will broadcast it. The miners may not include it in a block, if there are transactions in the queue with a non-zero fee, especially while the mempool is over capacity for the next block. As soon as there is free space in the next block, zero fee transaction will get through - of course, the chance to empty the mempool below capacity is in question these days :-)
