The bitcoin cash fork is fully underway but the process itself could take up to several hours or even days to complete.
As of 3.06pm BST the BTC blockchain is five blocks ahead of the BCC blockchain which is yet to produce its own currency.
“It's likely going to take at least several hours,” bitGo engineer Jameson Lopp explained in a tweet.
According to BioInc co-founder Jeff Garzik, BBC is currently mining at just over one per cent of the BTC hashrate, which means it would likely only mine one block in 24 hours
