Bitcoin Money figurehead Roger Ver has dramatically introduced that Bitcoin ABC and its lead developer Amaury Sechet are “forking away from #BitcoinCash on Nov 15th”.
Bitcoin ABC and @deadalnix have introduced that they’re forking away from #BitcoinCash on Nov 15th.
We want them good luck with their new coin and thank them for the free airdrop to all BCH holders.— Roger Ver (@rogerkver) September 1, 2020
That’s not fairly what’s taking place. The put up truly suggests the fractured BCH neighborhood will battle it out over which fork will get to say the ‘Bitcoin Money’ model — Bitcoin ABC or upstart rival Bitcoin Money Node (BCHN). The dispute is over ABC’s ‘coinbase rule’ that might divert 8% of all newly mined BCH to a growth fund come November.
Ver’s tweet got here in response to Bitcoin ABC’s importing its newest 0.22.1 launch, which is able to activate the coinbase rule on November 15th.
Some Bitcoin Money customers on each side welcome the fork as a chance to purge the community of their rivals, with CoinText CTO Vin Armania tweeting:
If @rogerkver actually believes that @Bitcoin_ABC has no probability of retaining the Bitcoin Money identify and BCH ticker after November 15th, why does he maintain tweeting anti-ABC propaganda and telling them to “please cease”?#Bitsheviks #Commucurrency

Different BCH supporters are afraid {that a} third chain cut up will do irreparable injury to BCH, with Twitter person ‘aiyadt’ replying to Ver:
You do notice {that a} cut up may kick $BCH out of prime 10 proper?
In response to Coin.Dance, BCHN’s 126 nodes characterize precisely 10% of the Bitcoin Money community’s 1,260 complete nodes, whereas Bitcoin ABC represents 42% of the community with 533.
Nonetheless, the Bitcoin Limitless (BU) implementation (that expands on the Bitcoin XT protocol) can be against the coinbase rule and at present has the biggest single share with 565 nodes or 44%. If it throws its lot in with BCHN, that might end in a slim majority of 54% of BCHN nodes rejecting the November improve — and doubtlessly retaining the Bitcoin Money model.
Chatting with Cointelegraph, Amaury Sechet expressed doubt that BU and BCHN would be capable to command a majority sharing of the community. “Node counts are very simple to faux,” he mentioned, noting that “a great chunk of BU nodes simply replace in sync each single time, so they’re probably the identical entity.”
Dismissively, Sechet described Bitcoin Limitless as “a dumpster fireplace” that beforehand supported segwit2x and Bitcoin SV, including that “BCHN and BU have already began preventing.”
