BitcoinABC is Core 2.0.

Change the pow or watch #BitcoinCash turn into shit.

Explain it to dear dictator Amaury as he is making his toy bch ... I am also starting to get tired of this situation

POW change is the last thing most people want to happen, because it would be most damaging to the network effect as people need to rebuild a lot of things.
Never say never, but not now
replied 1500d
This is just untrue.

Monero switched its POW 2 times without any damage to the network effect.

There is a lot of misinformation about a pow algo change, that's correct.

The funniest thing is that the POW change can liberate BCH only from the influence of BTC favouring miners.

Of course the userbase is too fucking retarded to realize that.
replied 1499d
I very much agree.
replied 1499d
So, what POW algorithm do you suggest?

Also, what makes you think would keep miners (e.g. Bitmain) from dumping their entire BCH stash if that happens?

Why are whether u dump a coin and whether u mine a coin necessarily connected like that? (honest question)
replied 1499d
I am referring to the fact the some of big chinese are HEAVILY invested into BCH. Bitmain at one point had over 1000000 BCH alone. If BCH got forked to another POW, those miners would

have a large incentive to dump their holdings and hence crash the price utterly.
replied 1499d
That was a long time ago they had that much. I would bet they dumped quite a bit when they were having financial problems. We don't know what they hold now.
replied 1499d
Thx. Still don’t see the incentive to dump though. 94% of their SHA income continues and their decision to dump BCH depends on BCHs prospects regardless of algo.

Ask yourself this - why did ViaBTC, Antpool (Bitmain) and BTC.top - the biggest BCH miners and those that were on-board from the beginning of BCH when ABC released the first version of

their node efforts from the "minimum viable fork"-project, choose to support the BCH project in the first place?
replied 1500d
Changing the pow algorithm is rather trivial.
replied 1499d
Might be more logical to make new coin. Build the code base the way you want, and make it so someone like Emperor Vitalk or Amaury can't rape the protocol to line own pockets.

The richest addresses in BCH are held by Miner Pool Operators, Roger Ver, and a few whales.
