In November 2018, there will be a hardfork in the chain of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) resulting in Bitcoin ABC. Bitcoin Cash has been forked before from the Bitcoin blockchain last year. The modifications that BCH implemented was a block-size increase of 32MB as well as a ”Difficulty Adjustment Algorithm (DAA)”. The next Bitcoin Cash hard fork is otherwise known ias Bitcoin ABC Airdrop.
The next hard-fork will result in the creation of Bitcoin ABC, where the ABC is an acryonym for Adjustable Blocksize Cap. The developers have announced that the hard-fork will take place on November 15th.
The problems that the developers of Bitcoin ABC want to tackle is to resolve the risks involved in maintaining the network as the mining of BCH is affected by BTC mining. Another problem that is addressed is the relative long time it takes to find the next block.
To resolve these problems, BCH developers have thus decided to implement this hard-fork. The difficulty algorithm will be updated during this fork.
