No sign of the first block is there? just another day in paradise.....

Coin dance says no block yet....
The block might not even come today due to the low hashrate on the Cash network. Sure, they change difficulty downwards, but I think it'll be a while until they get anything.

Regardless of their hashrate, every block mined since the fork point has been <700KB in size, and their 1st block after the split MUST be >1MB by their own rules.  It could be a while even if they have plenty of hash power.

But both are two different chains by now so even if there's not enough transactions in Bitcoin, people wanting to move their BCH would probably amount to much more than 1MB in BCH chain.


BCH Mempool is 1.6Mbytes, so it's over the 1M threshold to trigger the fork when the block is found.

THE FUN PART:

Bcc forked at wrong block. No full mempool.
That means their code is faulty and will continue to fork
 or they did some offline trick to make "orphan" to continue their own chain.

Trick or fail, that can be only solved after their first block.
