Just recently, news.Bitcoin.com reported on the successful Bitcoin Cash hard fork<\/a> that took place on November 13. However, according to reports across the web, the fork split into two, and an unknown group began mining blocks on the legacy chain producing what they call \u201cBitcoin Clashic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Supposedly All Bitcoin Owners Prior to Block 478558 Are Also Owners of Bitcoin Clashic<\/p>\n

Allegedly there\u2019s a network called Bitcoin Clashic that is utilizing the legacy BCH chain prior to the November 13th\u2019s fork. The first observations of this chain operating behind BCH were noticed by Bitmain\u2019s CEO Jihan Wu. The mining company\u2019s founder explains<\/a> that an unknown mining entity has dedicated hashrate to the rules of the original chain. Following Wu\u2019s statements, the public was greeted by the group operating the network with a website<\/a>\u00a0and Twitter handle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll Bitcoin holders as of block 478558 are also owners of Bitcoin Clashic \u2014 All are welcome to join the Bitcoin Clashic community as we move forward in creating sound money accessible to the whole world,\u201d explains the group\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Clashic Believes Satoshi\u2019s True Vision Would Improve Erratic Mining Variances<\/p>\n

At the moment there is no working blockchain explorer for the Clashic network, but there is a dedicated mining pool<\/a>. There is an explorer currently under construction, called\u00a0Satoshistruevision.com<\/a>, but the site contains no data. The Clashic Twitter handle offers a network stats<\/a> page\u00a0as well, but the service has been unavailable at the time of this report. Clashic\u2019s Twitter is very active and started tweeting on November 11. The first announcement on that day explains the Clashic team\u2019s intent stating:<\/p>\n

We are a private group of influential miners that will mine the existing chain to ensure the emergency difficulty adjustment takes place as intended \u2014 We believe that Satoshi would have been ok with a high variance of difficulty as a part of his true vision.<\/p>\n

A Troll or Not a Troll? That is the Question<\/p>\n

Presently, the Clashic infrastructure is basically a ghost town, minus the fact that the CEO of Satoshi Labs says<\/a> if the network is built properly it would \u201cwork out of the box\u201d using a Trezor hardware wallet. As far as exchanges and wallets there are none, but Clashic\u2019s website details users can run a full node client using the Bitcoin ABC version 0.15.1.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Clashic explains via Twitter that its difficulty is dropping. <\/strong><\/p>\n

No one knows who the owns the Clashic site as the webpage was registered using a\u00a0Whois<\/em> domain owner cloaking platform. On forums and across social media, bitcoin cash supporters believe the website\u2019s owner is just trolling and many consider the project a joke. Moreover,\u00a0BCH supporters also notice that quite a few people from the other side of the great bitcoin scaling debate who openly dislike the BCH chain have been bolstering and promoting Clashic since the group appeared on the internet seven days ago. Further, Clashic isn\u2019t the only fork considered a \u2018troll-blockchain\u2019 as there have been reports of other forked networks called Super Bitcoin<\/a>, Bitcoin2m, and Bitcoin Diamond as well.<\/p>\n
