Bingo. And BCH has proven 8MB blocks work fine. At the moment many are still selling BCH for BTC, but when more direct BCH->fiat exchanges become more mainstream (read: Bitstamp), the BCH price will rocket. Combine that with the November 2x drama and Kore doods ragequitting and we could well see a flippening. When BTC hashpower takes a shit and confirmations take as long as a month, what coin do you think people will run to?
Oh and LN is shit, I won't even bother discussing the million reasons it won't work and won't see mass adoption.
Ive not seen any proof of 8MB blocks working, 1 block is not proof the majority are well under 100k this is not proof of 8MB Blocks working
When Bitcoin Cash wiped out bitcoin satan attempt to flood their network with transactions.
https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-cash-8mb-block-479469-clears-over-37000-transactions/On August 16 at approximately 8 am EDT the mining pool Bitclub Network mined an 8MB block on the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) blockchain.
Block #479469 cleared over 37,000 transactions from the mempool making it the largest block found so far on the BCH chain.
Meanwhile, the BCH network continues to capture infrastructure development and industry support.
That is the great thing about using excess capacity, they only need to use it when it is needed.
The rest of the time , they use smaller blocksizes as the larger is not currently needed constantly, but it is there if they need it.
Verses 1 mb segwitcoin doing nothing but taking days and raising fees as their fix.
The fact that even when the Bitcoin Cash difficulty adjusting up and down, they Never have a backlog of transaction like segcrap.
Bitcoin Cash is just a superior product and it took a very little amount of code changes to make it so.
@tekmobile, I imagine when 1mb segwitcoin is frozen in a death spiral , you won't see that as a problem either.

What are you both talking about? They don't "use smaller blocksizes". It's not like they have a choice to make a bigger block. New blocks are mined at a relatively constant rate and whatever amount of transactions is at that moment in mempool can then be stored in the block. They may decide to not write all transactions and thus make the block smaller but they definitely cannot artificially make the block larger. So saying "they only need to use it when it is needed" is nonsense.
Uhhhm hate to correct a senior member again, but "blocksize" is a shortening of "MAX BLOCK SIZE". Read the code bro.
static const unsigned int MAX_BLOCK_SIZE = 1000000;
Only in Kore BTC are the blocks constantly full, to where certain uneducated people think that every block has to be that size... So of course you only use a bigger block when you need a bigger block!
"there are only small tiny blocks in bitcoin cash, where are all those promised glorious 8 MB blocks?" Well, if there are not many transactions to write in those blocks then the blocks can't be bigger, DUH.
Your second statement is correct, but how does that follow from your initial claim?
While we're on the topic, I've seen 3 solid years of evidence that one megabyte blocksize limit DOESN'T work. And the reason that it couldn't be increased was copy/pasted by countless brainwashed little Kore minions on reddit was "becuz decentralized". Ironically, BTC Kore is all mined and "made in China", just all the rest of the shit people consume in USA/Europe.
Right now the coin spammers, hackers, and govt. agents are letting their guns are cool off. When the mempools get full again and the networks are running at capacity, BCH will shine and BTC will poop the bed.
