So basically bitcoin is looking increasingly likely to
splinter off again in November, creating a third version of the world’s largest cryptocurrency as miners aka gold diggers and developers (creators).
Major industry players, including the bitcoin investor Roger Ver known as “Bitcoin Jesus” for proselytizing on behalf of the digital currency, say consensus between opposing camps that looked increasingly unlikely.
That opinion was echoed by some of the biggest mining pool operators and also programmers - known as “Core” developers-(who were instrumental to developing the infrastructure of the original bitcoin network).
In recent weeks, a group of miners, people who crunch complex math problems to generate and transact the virtual currency split off from the legacy bitcoin to use a new version known as Bitcoin Cash.
