on a network that did maintain
Bitcoin's mining
difficulty requirements, this first BCH block did not come fast.

So, how would a miner prevent a downward
difficulty adjustment
on bitcoin cash and trigger an exodus of mining power from
bitcoin?
If, however, there were another 12 hours of no blocks
on the
bitcoin cash chain, this would trigger another 6
difficulty adjustments downward.
There are already miners that seem to be ideologically driven to keep mining
on bitcoin cash, but another miner may have wanted to make sure there were six blocks every 12 hours in order to prevent the triggering of the downward
difficulty adjustment.
Both
bitcoin and
bitcoin cash adjust
difficulty downward every 2,016 blocks, though in the case of
bitcoin cash, the length of time this takes varies depending
on how long it takes blocks to be discovered.
Block 479,808 (set for this weekend) will likely trigger a
difficulty adjustment downwards 50 %, and if the prices of
bitcoin and
bitcoin cash stay the same, this means miners will make almost double
on bitcoin cash what they would
on bitcoin.

Bitcoin Cash For those who like the original concept of
Bitcoin, but not the
difficulties that have emerged since it became more widely - used (high transaction fees, the slowness of the network, and so
on), a separate team has developed
Bitcoin Cash.
But the scaling
difficulty used by
Bitcoin Cash means that whenever there are more miners working
on it, they all get paid less BCH for their work, and when there are fewer miners working
on it, they all get paid more BCH for their work.
