Bitcoin mining is more beneficial that Bitcoin Cash mining

22 August 2017 21:00, UTC

It is now more profitable to mine Bitcoin than Bitcoin Cash. This situation became possible due to yet another change of difficulty of Bitcoin Cash. It should be reminded that this cryptocurrency emerged when some Bitcoin users, traders and developers agreed to implement the new SegWit solution and some did not, increasing the size of a typical block in the network instead, thus branching the chain and the new currency from the original one. This all happened on 1 August 2017, and since then Bitcoin Cash is feeling well and supported, despite what many experts thought.

As the data from fork.lol stats website shows, Bitcoin mining is now two times more beneficial. The chain of BCH is now running at 29.56% difficulty in comparison with the BTC chain. Before that, the value of Bitcoin dropped to its 10-day minimum, then went up and regained some losses, as one can check on Coinmarketcap.
