The fact that it says 300% must be a capped limit because it should be closer to a 600% increase but there is a maximum the difficulty can increase we will find out in a couple of hours what exactly will happen but expect miners to jump back over to BTC and a day or so after the bitcoin difficulty will drop a bit making it even more profitable

Someone wrote earlier in this thread that it's capped at x4, so current difficulty plus 300% is the same thing.

Ah yea that is correct.

Code:

if (nActualTimespan < nTargetTimespan/4)
        nActualTimespan = nTargetTimespan/4;
if (nActualTimespan > nTargetTimespan*4)
        nActualTimespan = nTargetTimespan*4;

No more than 4x and no less than 1/4x

Is this right? #BCH +300% difficulty retarget

I dont understand what it mean, (bch goes up or down?) ... sounds important

It means that Bitcoin Cash will be 300% more difficult to mine and be much much less profitable and will make BTC over twice as profitable

The fact that it says 300% must be a capped limit because it should be closer to a 600% increase but there is a maximum the difficulty can increase we will find out in a couple of hours what exactly will happen but expect miners to jump back over to BTC and a day or so after the bitcoin difficulty will drop a bit making it even more profitable

I think it works by "intended time to retarget (14 days)"/"actual time to retarget (~2.6 days)" so that would be ~5.3-5.4x increase in difficulty.

Probably this https://electroncash.org/

Is Electron Cash still crashing with Electrum if both are installed on the same desktop?

wtf need a hour to send bitcoin now ? and few mins to send bitcoin cash , what happened ?

See how much the average time to mine a block in minutes on BTC has shot up over the last 7 days
https://data.bitcoinity.org/bitcoin/block_time/7d?f=m10&t=l

This is because of the decreasing hash power on the BTC chain with (not-yet) changed difficulty level:
https://data.bitcoinity.org/bitcoin/hashrate/30d?c=m&g=15&t=a

This would be a recipe for disaster if that trend of miner defecting continue after the next difficulty adjustment.

Excellent site, thanks for posting this. Anyone know how the profitability would compare it BTC diff goes down -1% and BCH goes up 500% (assuming all else remains equal)?

http://fork.lol/ give an estimate after BCH difficulty adjustment (in a few of hours) taking into account block rewards and fees too (assuming all remains the same), ~2.45x in favour of BTC, of course then you have the miners moving back to BTC and the BTC difficulty adjustment of something like -8% IIRC shortly after that which isn't taken into account in that, of course Segwit and faster blocks will also help empty the mempool in turn lowering fees so that will bring BTC profitability down a little too.

The miners won't allow that they have millions locked up in BTC would you walk away from millions just to support a new chain

Bitcoin may be winning the battle for investment dollars, but when it comes to attracting mining power, competition is heating up.

After the bitcoin cash blockchain experienced a major adjustment this weekend, the less than one-month-old cryptocurrency has seen a dramatic reduction in mining difficulty, and perhaps more crucially, an increase in its profitability for those providing computing power as a means to secure its ledger.
