Bitcoin Cash Overview
Bitcoin Cash History
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is peer-to-peer electronic cash for the internet. It is a fork of the bitcoin currency, which came after bitcoin ran into trouble at the end of 2017, when fees were shot up and transactions were taking days to process. Bitcoin Cash immediately raised the block size to 8MB, instead of 1MB of the legacy bitcoin code. Low fees and fast transactions have been restored with the introduction of Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin Cash, (symbol BCH) launched on August 1st, 2017 and works free of a central bank. The cryptocoin uses the Proof of Work (PoW) consensus and it is mineable, using the SHA-256 algorithm. We have made a calculator for Bitcoin Cash, to help estimate the profitability of mining the coin. There is also a mining calculator widget that you can put on your own website. Bitcoin Cash can be found online, on social media sites like Twitter, Github, Slack, Facebook, Reddit and more.
