The rproblem BCash has is that every time BCH difficulty spikes, miners move out of it and Jihan's farm obtains way over 51% of the network. It requires other miners to trust Jihan not to interfere with the chain during that time.

Right, I can see that this may very well be true. But it doesn't change the fact that means that BTC survives only by the grace of BCH's difficulty adjustment algorithm.

>> No.4410283

>>4410121
You need a lot of money if you want to steal 80% of a $120billion coin for more than a day. This money would be represented by the increased inflation caused by sub 1 minute-blocks.
So the only risk would be money shifting from BTC to BCH. Otherwise BCH couldn't maintain neither its price (because lower block time, and money doesn't shift), nor its hashing power.
The difficulty adjustment is needed for BCH to not kill itself by hyperinflation.

>> No.4410329

>>4410283
I'm beginning to think you don't understand the question. Two things

1) The BCH DAA will keep blocks at one every ten minutes. It doesn't do the sub 1 minute block thing anymore, it aims for every ten minutes by default. This is in fact how it might end up taking its boot off the throat of BTC, by discarding excess hash power to keep that ten minute block time. That really *does* mean that BTC only survives because of the BCH DAA. BCH is handing bids off to BTC to keep it breathing. That's just a fact.

2) What if it adjusts slowly enough that it's still more profitable to mine than BTC because of the large chasm (currently +40%) in profitability, and permanently locks hash rate to the BCH chain? Then BTC is dead, don't you get it? In order for hashing power to switch back, that profitability gap has to be jumped through a combination of market swing activity and BCH DAA discarding hash power. It is absolutely not guaranteed that it definitely will let BTC live.

BTC could honestly die. And if it doesn't, it's because BCH was merciful.

That equilibrium is not OK.

Supporting the price artificially means losing money, so it deports the issue from unprofitable mining to unprofitable trading.
It means they would support the price, and the hash rate by themselves? For how long?
They cannot create wealth from dust, the longer this situation will last, the more stakeholders will be tired of losing money by either supporting the price or mining at loss and will jump from the ship, starting a BCH death spiral.

"artificially"

No. I mean what if they genuinely have enough stakeholders pooled together to actually support this price level, they really believe that what they have is worth the entire rest of the BTC market cap at these prices? Or even if they can't all they have to do is repeat it over and over again as the other side of the table hands stake over to the miners buying hash power.

And how is BTC going to maintain the prices it presently has as it slowly freezes and the holders over there figure it out and dash for the exits, amplifying the attack? Which makes the whole supporting the present BCH price even easier as the BTC price plunges due to the ramifications of this conflict.

What am I missing?

>> No.4410753

>>4410571
You're missing a larger perspective.

BTC get a current flow a new cash from casual investor.
Nobody understand what is BCH outside the crypto world.

>I mean what if they genuinely have enough stakeholders pooled together to actually support this price level, they really believe that what they have is worth the entire rest of the BTC market cap at these prices
>how is BTC going to maintain the prices it presently has as it slowly freezes

To be profitable to holders and miners, both BTC and BCH need their price to rise constantly, by having a perpetual flow of new cash, or having a deflationary state (which is not yet the case on both networks).

So the real determining factor in this 'war' long term is where is the flow of new cash going in.

BCH would have had a shot if able to filp with bitcoin in a few days and force the exchanges to associate BTC ticker with BCH blockchain.

But long term if the situation stay more or less the same the new cash will keep going to bitcoin, making the whole bitcoin ecosystem far more profitable that the BCH ecosystem.

>> No.4410795

>>4410753
I can't see a realistic situation in which any external money flows into a frozen blockchain. I just don't follow how you assume that will continue given the situation under discussion.

And if the money isn't going in there, either it's not going in at all, or it must go in somewhere else, right? What can the exchanges do other than offer the other actually working assets as opposed to the broken one?

Changing the ticker strikes me as completely implausible, reconciling the balances etc. The exchanges would have a complete nightmare on their hands and shops like BitMEX that tried to participate in the war on the wrong side would be completely screwed.

>> No.4410842

>>4410795

>frozen blockchain
This will not happen because multiple companies have interest in mining Bitcoin, even when it's not profitable, because a working BTC blockchain is key to their business.
We have multiple instances of time where BTC was impossible to mine profitably, especially after the mtgox craze, but you see the blockchain is still there running.

>Changing the ticker strikes me as completely implausible, reconciling the balances etc

That's why BCH will never make it. Only BTC ticker attracts the money, because when a casual investor buy bitcoin, he buys BTC, not BCH. And since I don't believe in the frozen blockchain theory, I don't believe exchanges will do anything to favorise BCH to their customers.

Then where is the math wrong? I want to believe you. Please lay it out for me.

Your argument comes across as "It will not happen because people need it not to happen" but the math says otherwise. Once again, what am I missing?

>And since I don't believe in the frozen blockchain theory, I don't believe exchanges will do anything to favorise BCH to their customers.

The BTC shills don't understand that it's only a matter of time for the Legacy blockchain to get stuck in a swamp.
I'm not worried about the variations. Actually, this is how I would organise a flippening if I wanted to transfer a lot of BTC in BCH. Not everything at once, but slowly, over 2 weeks.

Imagine you have 25k BTC, you can easily get 100k BCH by going slowly. Thus you get way richer when the flippening happens, because the supply of BCH is even lower for normies.
