Bitcoin’s blockchain forked — meaning a separate cryptocurrency was created called bitcoin cash.
Bitcoin Cash, the new currency arrived via a so-called "fork" in which a faction of people who run the software that controls bitcoin started a breakaway version.
A group of miners ‘forked’ from the main bitcoin blockchain by switching to a new version of software with greater transaction capacity.
This fork did not affect bitcoin balances, but millions of bitcoin users were also given bitcoin cash tokens as well.
We are pleased to announce that on August 1st 2017, Bitcoin Cash (BCC) successfully launched.
At 18:24:41 UTC, ViaBTC pool produced a 1.9 MB BCC block, which was not valid on the legacy Bitcoin network. This marked a clean break and the birth of Bitcoin Cash.
All Bitcoin holders as of block 478558 are now owners of Bitcoin Cash. All Bitcoiners are welcome to join the Bitcoin Cash community as we move forward in creating sound money accessible to the whole world.
