Bitcoin Cash Just Mined its First Block, Making Blockchain Split Official An effort to create an alternative version of the bitcoin blockchain is officially moving ahead.
After running into roadblocks this morning, miners were able to successfully create a block on a new blockchain, called Bitcoin Cash, at roughly 2:14 p.m. ET today. As reported by CoinDesk, the move finds the miners breaking away from the main bitcoin network and forging ahead with an option supported by a different technical roadmap.
The block in question was mined by mining firm ViaBTC, according to a Bitcoin Cash block explorer hosted by data provider BlockDozer. ViaBTC later acknowledged the finding on Twitter and WeChat.
