BCH has to deal with the transaction malleability bug in order to implement something like LN, which relies on the transaction id to be fixed.
Close, but not quite. The current implementation of LN requires a malleability fix (which it has accomplished by means of segwit). However, other second-layer, payment channel implementations have been designed and scenarioed which do not require such a malleability fix. (segwit fixed the transaction malleability bug.) However, someone may come up with a work around using the OPcodes. Or there may be another way to fix the transaction malleability.
BCH has for some time been discussing whether or not to adopt a malleability fix. And if so, whether segwit or some other mechanism (several have been scenarioed) would be the proper mechanism to adopt. However, I think it is low priority for the BCH team to get BCH to scale by using off chain solutions.
Agreed. While it is a longer-term issue, there are much more pressing things upon which to focus. https://youtu.be/rfOlE-mmYBo?t=111^Craig Wright kicked out of China !! *must see* Well, no. Not quite. Not even close. More like Craig Wright getting escorted out of a conference room - by one of his own employees, no less. It's an ugly scene, no doubt. A full complement of blame to go around. Not much more than rude boys behaving badly. As an aside, I wonder why you tacked that on to a quote of a completely unrelated post I made?

Riiiight. A well-reasoned post. Unfortunately, the 'reasoning' is built atop invalid axioms. The author completely misunderstands the nature of the game theory that holds the entire system together. As just one of several flawed assumptions, the author presumes that miners are willing to include each and every transaction within an ever-increasing block, in the face of the system being unable to handle that condition. Of course they won't. They will stop including transactions before it causes the system to crash. However you look at it, however, the only _real_ investigation that I know of that has looked into the matter concluded that generic home computing hardware can handle about 100 tx/s - and with fixes to Bitcoin's broken threading model, about 500 tx/s. Yes, some day, 500 tx/s will be insufficient. But not today. Not tomorrow. Not next year (at least unlikely to be). I won't even start on how cringe-worthy his 'ratio between potential bottleneck sources' analysis is. I don't know whether to conclude that he is disingenuous, or just dense.

CSW is definitely a prickly dude, but if you invite international people to a conference discussion then isn't it customary to speak in a language everyone can understand? I assume the conference organisers would prefer all participants know what is being said, otherwise it's totally pointless inviting someone to your discussion if they can't understand what other people are saying. CSW doesn't suffer fools well, isn't bothered with trying to build a reputation as a nice guy, he says what he thinks and feels, and sometimes he looks rude, but in this instance the blame for what happened is on the conference organisers for not politely asking that questions and answers be given in English, when the dude started a long answer in Chinese what was CSW expected to do, wait for him to finish and then say, can you repeat everything you just said in English, what a waste of time.

To mine 1 BTC with 1 Antminer S9 one needs 1223 days at constant (=current) difficulty. The energy used during that time would be ~40k kWh (cost ~ $2000 at $0.05 per kWh). S9 price is ~$900-1000, so energy + miner would be $3000, and then there're other costs, like employees, buildings, HVAC, repairs, etc.

And many more operational risk you take as well. All costs you might pay.

It may seems that right now, BCH infrastructures are not layed out yet. Bitcoin have done it in 8 years to reach a thousand dollars per coin. BCH made a thousand dollars in less than a year. With support of miners and organizers, it can still reach what BTC have achieved. It is still a long way to go. I still do believe on BCH.

Thank you!! I am unlikely to adopt a different coin tracker. That said, I can think of one improvement. In advance mode, you show things other than usd price in differing colors. I would suggest placing a dot of color next to each of the figures that surround the chart. The popup tooltip works, but obscures part of the chart detail, and would be unneeded with this addition.

However for industrial scale miners, its not, its alot cheaper. They buy asics in bulk and get cheaper elec, leading to huge savings. Also the producers of asics are always ahead. While average miners use s9, the asic producers will be using "testing" s10 and be creating s11 always remain a few steps ahead of the rest.

Hmm. Central banker misunderstands where the value of a currency comes from. Defines it in terms of trade balances between nations. Yet in a frictionless environment, it will not be the 'nations' that choose their adopted currency. It will be the people therein. Personally, once most people understand the nature of a currency that cannot be inflated upon a whim, I belive they will choose such an immutable currency. Which bodes poorly for his position. Lastly, if he wants to ascribe correspondence between currency and 'nation', then fine. We are the nation named Internet. Deal with that, central banker dude.

What you say will happen, i agree, but not yet. I believe it was the central bankers that made og btc so over priced in the first place. (Davos ,world economic forum 2016 is where it began, btc price was around $500 , they were buying a few month before , around Nov2015 before the forum in 2016 at around $250) Its very easy for them to scare away people from crypto(short term) by causing huge price manipulation...making fiat seem like the safer choice.

Think most altcoins follows bitcoin price, Bcash and most other alcoins, in bear/bull markets. Thus, lets hope of btc price to gradually increase over time

This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable. Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be… entertaining.

Probably true about the equipment prices, but energy at $0.05 is rather low... at least for US and EU, not sure about China and far east in general. Also, for the average consumer grade miner there're no additional costs of large buildings, HVAC installations and employees, so the costs aren't much different imo.

Bitcoin Cash as a whole, it is still the advantage of the air force. Although BCH is worth holding for a long time, it is not the best time to buy it. Learn to wait.
