Bitcoin Cash Miners Are Clearing 8MB Blocks In One Fell Swoop
Bitcoin cash miners have been processing more larger blocks than usual over the past 24-hours, and many of them have been 8MB in size. There have been roughly 34,352 BCH blocks mined since August 1 and BCH is 8,714 blocks ahead of the bitcoin core chain. According to statistical data websites like Johoe’s mempool page, 2-8MB blocks have been clearing the BCH mempool (transaction queue) consistently. Over the past six months, the median BCH transaction (tx) size of 226-bytes costs $0.01-0.02 per tx. Average BCH fees have never exceeded more than 11 cents for median 226 sized transactions.
