Bitcoin Cash payments have just been rolled out to ALL BitPay merchants! what do you think about? Is this good information?

Yes. One more stone being laid in the foundation of Bitcoin Cash. Bullish.

I heard bit coin cash was created and funded by the bankers as a way to take bitcoin off the throne, so they can manipulate the market more.

they can only manipulate bitcoin oh so much compared to this bit coin cash, bit coin cash is the bankers bitcoin

I think its true because coinbase is banker owned and they helped pump bitcoin cash

they are now getting sued, and yes you do owe the pumped up bit coin cash price due to market manipluation at coinbase

you know the same coinbase that locked the market when bitcoin crashed and the prevented people from buying in cheap or cut their loses.... how quickly we forget dont we?

https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/cryptocurrency/lawsuit-filed-against-cryptocurrency-exchange-coinbase-over-bch-insider-trading-2522923.html

The largest cryptocurrency exchange in the US has been hit by a class action lawsuit over alleged insider trading during the launch of Bitcoin Cash(BCH) on its platforms.

The lawsuit filed with the US district court for the northern district of California on March 1 alleges that Coinbase customers lost millions as the exchange tipped off its employees and a few customers about the impending launch of bitcoin cash trading before the formal announcement. This allowed them to trade bitcoin cash earlier resulting in a sudden spike in its price, it further says.

Bankers will not like Bitcoin Cash as it is more difficult to be centralized as the block size is bigger and people can use the network more directly.

Actually a larger blocksize naturally makes it more centralised because full nodes become much more expensive to run so if the network does become big enough then only larger corporations and banks will be able to afford to run full nodes this puts the power in their hands

How does running a full node put more power in your hands? I run several full nodes, and I don't feel very powerful. In a POW coin the miners have to run full nodes, but I don't see the advantage of Joe average running one. Does it really help secure the network?

You will see numbers thrown about that with gigabyte blocks a node will cost roughly $20000 a month to run this is out of the budget for most businesses so you will only get large corporations and the miners running them

LOL tek you crack me up. I run a full node for FOUR DOLLARS A MONTH you doofus. A GB block server is $20k upfront right now and $50/month to host in a good datacenter, in 2 years it'll be $4k cost for the hardware and hosting will be the same cost.

It costs you so little because no one is using anywhere near its full potential and is most likely on a tiny VPS

With GB Blocks you are looking at a maximum capacity > 4TB of storage a month for a full node and no normal mechanical HDDs are not enough you will probably need NVMe drives but standard SSD's will also cope due to latency good luck getting hold of 4TB of NVMe storage for $50/m these will need to be in a RAID array and paid upfront

There are a lot of technical difficulties that will put this kind of setup out of the hands of almost anyone

My server cost's me $50USD a month and is running full nodes for quite a few forked coins with txindexing

It has 32GB RAM and 3TB HDDs in a RAID1 array and new fork coins are taking longer and longer to sync the full chains
Ive been hosting and running dedicated servers for the last 20 years granted in the early days it was just simple illegally File sharing music over FTP before p2p made it easy then I moved to a private torrent site that I spent 100s of hours modifying the code to suit my needs and eventually gave away to a new admin because I had enough that he then run it into the ground because he didn't have the experience to combat attacks and closed it.

Now its mostly just basic web services I run because I don't have the time to deal with all the coding and just run some opensource projects some as it and some slightly modified
Last week I started collecting ALL mempool dumps every minute that are being automatically uploaded once a day to my google gsuite account where I have unlimited storage
