Re: (BCH) Bitcoin Cash: 8 hours 1 block

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.

a fork means when you copy the code from another project and make a couple of changes. that is the programming deffinition of the term. and that is exactly what Litecoin and DOgecoin and all the others did.

there is nothing wrong with that though. as long as they are improving the code.

besides you can see Charlie lee's history always talking about changes to bitcoin like faster blocks and stuff like that. and nobody accepted his changes, so one day he forked bitcoin and made the changes he like to it and released lite-bit-coin.
