I like this joke , I don't think it should has the third rank on coinmarketcap.com from it's born. I also don't think BCC is a fork of BTC, it's just an altcoin.
I am willing to see what choices will BCC miners make.

this joke is much better than most shitcoins though, so the positions is good enough.
and also it is a fork of bitcoin. many altcoins are fork of bitcoin. coins like litecoin, dogecoin, bitcore, and lots of others have been forked from bitcoin.

It's going to carry on like this for another few months.

this is what i am afraid of too.
it is not just bitcoin cash chain that they are harming they have caused a lot of problems with bitcoin mining too. and as long as it is alive and as long as its price gets pumped there is the same risk all over again.

LOL you and theymos got it wrong.
LTC etc is neither a fork or a clone.. but more like a "port" or even better.. a "mod"
It is like the EOS ICO ....ported from Bitshares.
Yes this key distinction matters.

Let me clarify and no i am by no means an expert on block chain stuff either Wink

A clone is taking say Bitcoin and replicating it but changing the icon or name etc.
A FORK is where you are continuing on with the block chain that ALREADY EXISTS on a coin and making it a split in the chain so it "forks" off into another branch than before.
A fork can be on the existing coin or a new coin can be forked off and created such as BCC.

Litecoin was never a fork.. neither was Doge or the others you mentioned guy.
Their block chains were created new with their coin.
In other words they have their very own genesis block where as a fork would share the same one.
Further more LTC is not a clone either nor is it even possible to be a "fork"
Because they use a very different hashing algo.. SCRYPT vs SHA
And scrypt was created for a specific intention.. to even the playing field with mining as ASICS etc were rolling out for BTC.
It succeeded in making mining fairer for a time.
And that is the algo DOGE COIN and countless others STOLE !
Lumping in Doge etc with LTC is simply ridiculous.
The doge scam dev simply copied and pasted the scrypt code into his new shit coin with a new icon and meme for the wallet.
The litecoin dev CREATED a new hashing algo.
Big god damn fucking difference.

I have never understood why 99% of all of crypto fails to understand Litecoin.
Even theymos himself called it a clone of Bitcoin which is retarded.
You'd think he of all people would get it.
I corrected him on a topic in the altcoin section recently and he nothing to say in return.
..because he KNOWS I AM RIGHT 100%

Everybody in crypto loves to insult Litecoin but it deserves its props.
It managed to get more real world adoption than all other shitcoins combined ever in crypto history.
It was created for a real reason.. not just to slap a meme icon gif / jpeg on it and pump it and dump it.
It was created to solve a mining problem with honest and sincere intentions.
If anything Litecoin is simply an "alternative" to Bitcoin.

I have none (LTC)
I say what i do for clarity and honesty.

This is why it matters if you are a fucking noob.. they don't do their homework Roll Eyes
