Bitcoin ABC is working on scaling Bitcoin Cash to handle the payments needs of billions of daily users and serve Bitcoin Cash businesses better. To that end, we offer these 6 problems that Bitcoin ABC provides solutions for.
Bitcoin ABC solves this through detailed work that optimizes the Bitcoin ABC full node software for use in mining, with greater stability and less resource usage than other options. The team and the software have been battle-hardened from years as the primary node software used in production for mining BCH.
Bitcoin Cash needs to grow. The alternative is further stagnation and the loss of initiative to other, funded coins. Bitcoin ABC is fully committed to a scaling roadmap that gets us to 10,000 or more transactions per second (TPS).
We have prioritized a Mempool Overhaul project that will materially resolve this important challenge and set the stage for Bitcoin Cash to grow for decades to come.
Bitcoin Core, from which Bitcoin ABC draws a lot of code and backports, is not developing the P2P electronic cash vision. Bitcoin ABC is. As long as we rely on Bitcoin Core backports to develop Bitcoin Cash, we can not take technical leadership and optimize Bitcoin Cash for global daily use by billions of people.
Bitcoin ABC solves this, with the Take Code Ownership project, which will allow Bitcoin Cash to step out of the shadow of Bitcoin Core, and truly take the lead on bringing peer-to-peer electronic cash to the world.
Bitcoin ABC keeps its Bitcoin Cash full node software up to date with changing hardware, dependent libraries, user trends and much more, be it related to SSD adoption, increasing internet speeds, new bottlenecks, changing tradeoffs, new CPU architectures and other emerging challenges.
The Bitcoin ABC project maintains a methodical release cycle, with releases every two weeks. This predictable release cadence makes it easier to always run the latest release, which is the safest practice for Bitcoin ABC users
The Bitcoin ABC development team responds 24/7/365 to new threats, and has a proven track record of responding effectively to problems. The Bitcoin ABC development team also keeps the software fresh with ongoing code cleanups, bug fixes, and updates to minimize the risk of vulnerabilities.
Join the Bitcoin ABC team in building censorship-resistant P2P electronic cash for billions of daily users and realizing the vision that is Bitcoin Cash!

What is Bitcoin ABC's "Fix Block Time Oscillations Project"?
Yes, the Mempool Overhaul project is central to our efforts to scale. And scaling is priority #1. We just have to do it in a way that will not incur ongoing code maintenance obligations that are greater than our budget can pay for.

Thanks for the question, let me know if you have others. -George
Is only number 3 about making BCH able to scale for massive worldwide adoption? I would like scaling to be a priority. I know the other stuff is crucial as well, but, just doing the other stuff makes it seem like ABC is "foot-dragging" on the scaling issue. I do not see any other team doing the scaling work either, but, that's my feeling on this article that seems to claim it is about scaling.
