Bitcoin Cash Community Preps for a Hard Fork Slated for November 13According to Juan Garavaglia of the organization Bitprim.org, bitcoin cash (BCC) developers are currently planning a “smooth hard fork” for November 13. News.Bitcoin.com spoke with Garavaglia briefly about the subject, and he says that developers Amaury Séchet, Tom Harding, and Neil Booth have submitted proposals. Further, Garavaglia is in the midst of testing a variety of “Difficulty Adjustment Algorithms” (DAA). At the moment the current DAA isn’t operating so well for the BCC network.

“The Bitcoin Cash DAA has served its original purpose quite well, but now the side effects are hurting Bitcoin Cash,” explains Garavaglia.

There has been a lot of discussion in developer groups. My team is now testing the best proposals, and there is consensus that the Bitcoin Cash network will receive an upgrade.

Bitcoin ABC’s Next Release
Garavaglia details that the fork discussion has been talked about for quite some time, and the timing doesn’t really have anything to do with the approaching Segwit2x fork. “It was always assumed things would be fixed around this time, but really one thing has little to do with the other,” says Garavaglia.

“Solutions have already been coded and tested — It will be fixed in the next release of Bitcoin ABC, hopefully in the next several days,” Garavaglia adds. “This will allow businesses a few weeks time to upgrade their nodes — At the moment we’re running real nodes and real hashrate on a testnet, using Bitcoin ABC binaries with the modified DAA algo.”
