For those of you that have been following along with the whole Bitcoin fork thing you may have know that in the past day or so the Segwit code has gone live. With this upgrade has come some unintended consequences manifesting themselves as massively lengthened times between blocks being added to the blockchain.
As seen in the screenshot taken from blockchain.info the average time between blocks isn't even close to the 10 minute target the BTC network is supposed to adhere to. If you do have to send Bitcoin anywhere make sure you allow atleast double if not ten times the duration to have your coins sent to where you need them. Hopefully the difficulty on the BTC network adjusts accordingly to once again get blocks close to the 10 minute mark..
As at it's current rate it's damn near unusable for real life applications or purchases at brick and mortar vendors, no one in their right mind would want to wait at the grocery store for 1-3 hours to make sure their payment went through. By design the network is supposed to adjust difficulty to produce a block every ten minutes.. However something must have happened to throw this off as Bitcoin switched over.

lol. It's possible... But I think not many realize that BCC is the bitcoin we used before the segwit version took the name over

The chain-hoping by miners is going to really hit the legacy chain hard. Not to mention the fact that some miners are mining empty blocks on the legacy chain, which makes the transaction backlog even worse.

I'm not a big fan of hardforks but watching this story to unfold it do seems like Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin 2.0
At least it CAN retarget the difficulty beforehand if block times go wrong.

Bitcoin has been slow for ages. Best to transfer to Litecoin and spend that way - takes seconds to transfer LTC. When Atomic swaps come into play, turning your valuable gold into spendable and dependable silver will be a doddle. They're testing the Zap wallet on LTC mainnet today. After a while of LTC Zap wallet usage, Bitcoin will jump on board and bam your groceries are in the bag :-)

Yeah this is true.. once we can exchange coins easier and spend them on ATM cards.. won't matter so much what coin your using and it should all be much, much faster.
Good article though everyone needs to know this especially the developers :)

You have the nerve to come spam your link on my comments section then get pissy when I call you out on it..? lol, fuck your hat sir.
Just because other people allow you to post your links without being asked to do so doesn't mean I'll allow it here on my post.
Not sure if you figure you've the right to be a prick and spam links on my readers comments.. But I'll tell you right now that any entitlement you figure you have to do so will be met with disciplinary action and not being respectful will only end up with you being butthurt.
Now if you'll excuse me I've got a bunch of things I need to get working on. Cheers and such, please don't post links on my (or others) posts comment sections unless asked.

If you see how many miners are moving towards bitcoin cash, then you understand why the wait times are increasing on Bitcoin. Bitcoin is actuall getting old and even with the add-ons like segwit, x2 and lightning network, i doubt that it will live another 10 years. Time will tell, but we might have a look at better options like iota and neo ..
