BCH November's fork outcomes

For the last weeks I've read a lot of BCH drama on this reddit and now I think that BCH will not survive Novembers's fork because in all given scenarios the BCH blockchain will split into 2 or more blockchains:
* BCH ABC - will be supported only by nodes using the latest ABC client,
* BCH X - will be supported by all nodes using the BU and XT clients,
* BCH SV - will be supported only by nodes using the latest SV client.

The real issue with the November's fork is not that CTOR is added to the blocks but that the new ABC client will not longer support TTOR (the current sort order) which means that the ABC client will no longer be compatible with BU, XT and even SV clients.

In other words the CTOR dispute is just a smokescreen while the real prize is which new blockchain will manage to keep the BCH moniker and all the advantages resulting from it (existing user base, exchanges support and so on).

Regardless of foul play from any actors the possible outcomes are (ordered by likelihood):
Case 1: BCH ABC wins. That will result in a blockchain where Bitmain will easily control more than 70% of the hashrate and Bitcoin ABC will become BCH's de facto Blockstream.
Case 2: BCH X wins. The value of BCH will plunge because Bitmain/ABC will fork anyway and there is a big chance that the chain will end up like Bitcoin Gold (51% attack at some point).
Case 3. BCH SV wins. There is a small probability for this to happen because the number of SV nodes is insignificant.
Case 4. Nobody wins. Most exchanges will delist BCH and each blockchain will have to grow from scratch. This might happen anyway on some exchanges.

In the end, it really doesn't matter who wins because the resulting blockchain will be weaker than the current blockchain. That's like certain.

Now, please tell me why I'm wrong and everything will be alright.

BCH Metamask Alternative

Hi guys,

​

https://i.gyazo.com/5e68df6de476c8ee648053e425ec9f76.png

​

So i run a gaming website with about 20k users monthly that lets users earn points and use these points to purchase games, gift cards and actual money withdraws using methods like:

• Paypal
• ETH

I would like to start having BCH withdraws but i could not find something similar to Metamask, now we used MM because it was very easy to use and it was in-browser, so we could simply link to the website and these children would often times create their first wallet and save their public key on their profile page, so we could send them their ETH.

​

Could you guys please link me the most easy to use, user friendly wallet there is for BCH, chrome extensions are most welcome, thanks.

This change removes any opportunities for better solutions (...) "Implicitly, this means that only one algorithm for validation becomes possible (since all existing ones become incredibly slow). Same there, no innovation possible anymore." Tom Zander

That doesn't sound very promising, if true.

Any tipper bots for YouTube?

Back in the ChangeTip days, we could send bitcoin tips to YouTube creators in their YouTube comments. I’d really love to do that very same thing today with Bitcoin Cash! Is there any way to do this now?

(Even better would be for Google to adopt the money button on YouTube.)
