Huh? Bcash? Never heard of of it. Did you mistake that for Bitcoin Cash (BCC)?

Anyway, has anyone managed to dump yet? if so, in what exchange? (im in interested in people that did not have their coins in an exchange during the split, but someone that send their BCH to the exchange post-split)

I sent some to HitBTC soon after the split (they only require 2 confs) and managed to dump, but it was too soon since the price went up afterwards... nevertheless I bought again in a low and sold again on a high, averaging a good rate.

What I find weird about the BCash chain is that the blocks seem to come in bursts... one block takes hours to mine, then one or two blocks follow in 10-30 minutes time.

There is some talk about intentional block time manipulation (https://www.coindesk.com/even-miners-hate-bitcoin-cash-might-want-mine/), but that does not explain the bursts.

And yes, I did deposit BCH to Bittrex, but they wait for 20 confirmations! On that chain, by the time I was able to trade the price had dropped by half... I still have not withdrawn the BTC, still waiting for some trading opportunity, although I have ID verification there.

One explanation I've heard is that they are doing this in order to avoid reorg, also something to do with difficulty readjustment... of course it's also possible other reasons are involved.

Big entities are intermittently mining it in order to sell off their free bcash crap. None of them are committed to the chain.

Looks like ViaBTC has signaled for segwit on there. There were also some other random miners signaling for segwit, and there's also some trolls typing shit like "Fuck Bitcoin Cash".

Was the massive block of yesterday mined?

Has anyone been able to desposit BCash in Bittrex at all? (and successfully sell it for BTC, then withdraw the BTC back to your safe wallet)

I can't keep up with the lols.
