Can anyone comment on when difficulty will readjust? I heard the Bcash devs adjusted the difficulty algorithm, but I'm too much of a layman to see it in the code. 3 hours without a block -- ouch.

I think things will look much more interesting once difficulty readjusts on Bcash. Then it'll be "business as usual" on both chains, and we can see a more efficient market develop. For now, these illiquid markets don't mean much.

Apart from BTC regular readjustment every 2 weeks, they added some code so difficulty will be reduced by 20% if there are not 6 blocks solved in the last 12 hours. It's better explained here: https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@boxxa/bitcoin-cash-difficulty-error
