What the hell, I wake up and BTC is down to the 17s and all the alts are up. What happened?
>200k unconfirmed transactions, 25$ transaction fees if you want to have it done under 1 week
do the math

that explains the bcash pump then in particular.
I like core, but damn, something needs to be done about those fees.
Get real.
Bitcoin has been under attack multiple times because it is a target for a lot of hostilities, whether from Bcash or other various sources, and so if any other coin was as disruptive as bitcoin, that coin would be under attack too, but none of the other coins are because they are almost all trash, given a few exceptions or a few use cases.
