is BTCH able to mine?

pools?

technically it is minable, but it uses on-demand blocks (only mines when there are tx in mempool) as it uses dPoW for chain security.

since the mining isnt used for chain security, the block reward is set at a token 0.0001 BTCH

So you can mine it, but it is likely not economical to do so

For clarification, BTCH is an AIRDROP (not a FORK), meaning we basically send all your old money to your old address on a NEW CHAIN, and your private key unlocks it.

Why you want BTCH: Besides getting the airdrop, BTCH is a KMD Asset Chain and will be able to take advantage of the KMD ecosystem (tech like dPOW and dICO). BTCH miners only confirm block, and get a small BTCH block reward. There is no "new money" coming out. The names involved in the creation of BTCH, jl777 (KMD) & Duke Leto (HUSH), are very well-respected in the community.

Why you want HUSH: HUSH & KMD are profitable to mine, (with webmining on the horizon) but not BTCH since it's entire supply will essentially be in circulation. HUSH has low circulating supply (still lots to mine!) and will have on-chain public HushLists before any other coin. Also, HushNG is about to be released.
