At this time bitcoin cash miners can't find a block even if their life depended on it, it's been 4 hours since the last block and due to the shitty difficulty retarget bch has it will take years to readjust. I consider it a dead coin.
If the code was duplicated from bitcoin, why are there such problems with difficulty retargeting, and shouldn't it automatically correct within a few days, if not shorter?
There isn´t a real problem with EDA (difficulty adjustment). The problem is that miners are able to take advantage of this mechanism.
1. Use their hashrate elsewhere
2. The difficulty adjustment is activated, which makes mining more profitable
3. Many miners switch to the now hugely profitable BCH chain
4. Due to the influx of hashrate the difficulty skyrockets
5. Miners switch and use their hashrate elsewhere
6. The difficulty adjustment is activated, which makes mining more profitable
...
This cycle will probably continue for quite some time as long as BCH price
is not too low.
But what can you really do, it was to be expected that most miners would always mine
the more profitable chain
