We all know that someone was ViaBTC and bitmain though.

Bitclub seems to have gone away which I find weird as they were supporting when it was unprofitable but now its profitable due to fast block times are no where to be seen im thinking they were possibly trying to stop the EDA but did not have enough hashing power to create enough blocks

OUCH. So BTC fees are thousands of times higher than BCC. And BTC has a huge full mempool that Segwit lock-in hasn't helped AT ALL.

At this point we can objectively say that BCH is superior technology when compared to BTC. While BTC has name recognition, big investment, a cult of lemming followers, and lots of market inertia, there is really nothing else going for it. Mainstream hodlers aren't technically sophisticated enough to understand the deficiencies of Segwit, full blocks, high fees, and the coming death spiral. Meanwhile, alts pump and ICOs continue unfettered. BTC/fiat continues to skyrocket, so the crunch will be extra painful.

I think the death spiral thing is really scaring the Segwits, so much so that they have to quickly yell and scream about BCH being in a death spiral, despite no evidence of that.

I've read the death spiral argument over and I believe it's sound. Basically if BTC loses hashrate quickly, it grinds to a halt and no one can transact. The already-full mempool just goes astronomical and no blocks are mined. Since BTC has been so slow anyway, if the majority of hashing goes to BCH for even a week, BTC is in serious trouble. If BTC really does fork again, at least one of the BTC forks (probably the 1MB fork) will certainly become useless and die.

Segwit did just activate, and we are more or less a month away from the next hard fork. How much of the segwit program will actually be implemented by the time the hard fork arrives?  Will there have been substantial time to have some metrics to see what benefit segwit has made before the hard fork?

Yes, "users to use segwit addresses" you're suggesting this will be at or near 100% implemented? I'm asking, how much of the whole will be using this at the time of the hard fork come November (I forgot my months lol 1month, but it will be here quick, it's taking some many months to get BCH onto places like CoinBase.. why weren't more segwit adopters ready when it was scheduled to go live, wtf is up with that???   )



From what I understand of the block, this is not entirely accurate, can you breakdown exactly the structure and how it will be made to take advantage of a full 4MB?

Thanks for the link!

I don't think it will go down that far at least not that fast bitmain still has a lot to milk out of this fat cash cow

10 second block times sound good to me full 2016 blocks in around 12 hours and 1 day dead means you might get the reward halving before the end of the year

Something needs to change for this to survive only problem the thing that needs to change is also the thing that will kill it and I agree people do seem to be loosing faith but I dont think there was that much to start with.

All the things that was said will happen to BTC did not although what I predicted will happen to BCH does seem could be a reality in the very short future

There is a reason it sounds good and you stated most of them lol
