Mining BCC or BTC

[pipedoctor]

I've got an Antminer S9 mining BTC. Should I switch to BCC or stick with BTC?

I haven't haven't in a day or 2 but last check it was still more profitable to mine BTC.

Were you going to start mining on the Bitcoin.com pool for BCC?

If so you could also discuss this on our official mining pool thread: topic10578-570.html

With the difficulty drop, it is MUCH more profitable now to be mining BCC.

To compare profitability of Bitcoin Cash mining versus Bitcoin Core mining, here are two sites to show you current profitability:

Coindance: https://cash.coin.dance/blocks




Fork.lol: http://fork.lol/



The different values are because they both base the profitability based on different timeframes.

Technically BCC is more profitable right now, but I think BTC is more stable and miners take that into account before switching entirely. BCC is getting a larger market share of hashrate now, but BTC hashrate is stable and not dropping as well. Possibly old unprofitable miners are switched on to support BCC as they can profit with it at current stats. What do you think?

A good article on mining BTC or BCC: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/wh ... uin-bcash/

It looks like every few days, I will have to switch mining from BTC to BCC, and then back to BTC, as the difficulty of mining BCC changes quite a bit (by about 4 times) every few days.

Bitcoin Cash will be the more profitable chain in roughly 3-4 hours again.

SWITCH BACK TO BCC EVERYONE LOL.

I would stick to BTC

Mining BCC is favorable to BTC for small windows of time every once in a while. The only way I'd consider advising someone to mine it, would be to use a pool that automatically mines whatever is most profitable. A great majority of the time that will be BTC.
