Hash Wars: The Bitcoin Cash Hard Fork Has Begun




There are a number of places online where people can continue watching the fork unfold in real time, as many analytical data sites are available. Coin Dance cash has a lot of information on its website, including recently mined BCH blocks, hashrate and distribution, and node count. The website Ramen.chopsticks.cash shows four charts containing separate BCH implementations, including Bitcoin ABC, SV, Unlimited, and Naybc. Colors correspond to the ECMH signature of each block’s content and help distinguish equivalent blocks, regardless of transaction ordering, the website explains. Forkmonitor.info, a tool created by Bitmex, shows multiple BCH nodes and monitors the chaintips for any bifurcation. Similarly, the data site Fork.btc.com also shows viewers whether or not the BCH chain has split in a visual fashion. Users can also monitor Twitter and the Reddit forum r/btc for opinions concerning the BCH fork. Even though the fork has commenced, it is highly recommended not to transact on either chain until the dust has settled between both chains and one chain gets a significant lead over the other. There is a chance a BCH transaction could be replayed on both chains by accident, unless the sender has already split the coins using some of the tools available online. The websites mentioned above — Twitter, r/btc, and especially news.Bitcoin.com — will have a lot of eyes on the network’s stability over the course of the next several hours and days to come, and we’ll continue to report on the matter.
