Notice that with full, 8MB blocks, BitcoinCash's blockchain would grow this much by mid-November.

Oh dear.....   I suspect you are trying to pull a fast one on us here....

 I don't expect BitcoinCash's blocks will be anywhere near full

So why say it then?  And lets assume "anywhere near full" is, lets say, 6Mb. Why would you see a near 6 fold increase in just 12 weeks?

 but I think this observation highlights the BitcoinCash philosophy.

 
No it doesn't.

Long term, the initial 123.4 GB is but a drop in the bucket.

Long term, bitcoin as we know it will seem like a drop in the ocean. We hope.

From the first article:

However, the split has not yet happened, with the hardfork to occur on August 1st. Its price, therefore, may change up or down once everyone gets their hands on BCC. Allowing bitcoiners to freely buy the asset directly or sell it, rather than trading futures.

As such, its price ratio to bitcoin and, therefore, its likely hashrate share, remains to be seen, but its opening price and retention of value at around $500, as much as bitcoin’s price last year, seems to be a promising start for the first bitcoin chain-split currency.

I say 500 is a start, let's wait and see where we're come August!

if it was clear that it wasn't any type of magic bullet

What 'magic bullet" do you think segwit is exactly? What are you hoping for?

Its a simple malleabality fix that is not critical at this point in time. Thats it.

All the other bullshit you hear about segwit is just noise to disguise the politics of trying to push off chain solutions that dont yet exist in practice.

is this really a fork or it is just another altcoin?
can anyone here point out where to see the mining hash that support for this fork?

[martyMC]

If we have a web wallet but with private key like counterwallet.
It will be ok?

Faster confirmation transaction,cheaper it is dependers on market.

And if we put our btc on a paper wallet, it will be ok for getting our BTCC?

[martyMC]

the price of this first real fork of Bitcoin will be dumped to zero after 08/01/2017.

how to protect against this?

Why it's increasing then?
0,2 BTC

[btcbabhh]

so if  we hold our bitcoin until 2017.08 01 we will get bitcoin cash? 

anyone can tell me ? thank you

0,2 BTC

because it's a microscopic and incredibly thin market at an exchange with an agenda?

so,if the price of Bitcoin benefit more they will mine Bitcoin,if the price of bitcoincash benefit more then they will mine bitcoincash....wtf..a snake with double heads?

[dr blowfin]

So this fork is already being mined and traded on VIABTC at a rate of 0.2 - with surprisingly no affect on BTC price as yet.
As it stands this seems to be quite a generous gift to BTC holders.

Where can you buy Bitcoin Cash? Which exchange?

[alani123]

It seems like added value will be coming into bitcoin's blockchain in the end and this one is pushing users to start using wallets giving them full access to private keys even more. I like how it's starting with a different name and not outright being called "bitcoin" but such projects are quite divisive for the community in my opinion.

It is an altcoin now.
The Main chain is now Segwit2x Activated and must be signaling BIP141 in order mine any valid block.
So far 97.9% are supporting BIP141.

I think the only miner pool supporting both chains is ViaBTC (not sure who else).

Darwing price for most stupido!

Exchanges proudly dumping this into pure ZERO!
And it is free for them!

Yes, if there is no mining hash power I mine it with my cpu.

What are the pros and cons of bitcoin cash? and can someone tell us what could happen august 1st if minors didn't signal sigwit as they intended?
