I wonder if it is what I understand.
Right now, major miners, including JihanWoo, are not mining BTC and concentrating all their hash power on the BCH. So, the BTC network is currently suffering from normal transsactoin, and the BCH is continuing to be pumped. right?
By the way, is the mining things going to increase 'profit rate' if there are fewer competitors? Then, if the competitor is small in BTC like now, is "the other miners" get a much bigger profit when they mined BTC now?
Or until the difficulty is adjusted up to two weeks, "other miners" do not get that benefit for up to two weeks? When major miners return in two weeks time, are they also getting more BTC because of the lower difficulty?
I've some delight after reading your topic, because in past few hours, I really don't know why the bitcoin price is dumped too fast and followed by increasing unconfirmed transaction number. And I think BCH will always the coin for "Whale" to make their profit by bumping it, it could increase more before its segwit but in long term, miners would move back to BTC because everyone know that, BTC still remand top.
Because the HardFork was cancelled and many people were holding just to claim their free coins and cashout the profit right after. Without a HardFork, people cashed-out and dumped BTC price. We would see the same effect after the HardFork, but as that didn't happen... We are seeing now. It's not too serious, but this miner's movement seems a bit more drastic, but maybe they are just wanting to enjoy the hype and come back to Bitcoin right after the profit with BCH is made...
