So with the hashing power lost that went over to bitcoin cash, it means that in average for the network it should be taking a bit more time to mine those 12.5 bitcoins until a network difficulty update comes over. So the flow of new bitcoin will be slowed down until network diff adjustment, right?

It looks like not very much went over to bitcoin cash and even more than that amount has been brought online in the last 2 weeks as there is still an expected diff increase of 8.12% in 17 hours.

Well, we still have BTM powerhouse continue pumping out S9 machines. The appreciation of btc will also revive more previously unprofitable older rigs.

At the colo I am in we were finally seeing the s7s powering down and with the price up they stopped turning them off. Right now BCH is about half as profitable as BTC but with the difficulty increases and the fact that the BCH difficulty is going down we may begin to see some more hash moving.

Lulz - no at the moment it makes no sense.
Why mine a pump-and-dump altcoin when you are going to get less than if you were mining BTC.
I'd not expect that to change in the near future either, but saying ... it may be better in the future ... means: yeah good to know - but it's worse now Tongue

I know one sizeable miner on there that's apparently only there for "a publicity stunt"

The whole point of BitCH was to avoid the issue of the minority groups trying to force the miners to do something.
The miners all decided to go with BIP91 and that ended it.
BitCH was, however, an obvious way to make some money by those who had the idea in the first place, so they still went ahead after the "supposed" reason why it was going to exist no longer existed.

Meanwhile, whoever the retard was who coded the changes for BitCH, unbelievable how stupid he was.
He clearly had no idea about the fact that people run Bitcoin wallets, duh! and Bitcoin will exist for way longer than that scam.
His wallet screws up or overrides the Bitcoin wallet by default, and uses all the Bitcoin ports, folders and even the same node list lookup.
This all means that they're using the place on the internet (and on your computer) that Bitcoin uses and causing issues doing so.
Every altcoin knows not to use the Bitcoin settings/ports and channels ... except for this retard.

Seeing these things every so often:

i.e. someone running a BitCH node connecting to a Bitcoin node ... duh how stupid is that ... and the cause is that the guy who coded it didn't bother to use their own ports.
I guess it required him to know what he was doing and spend 30 seconds changing them Tongue
