Differences of Bitcoin Cash vs Ethereum Launch Date: While Ethereum was issued and officially introduced back in 2015, Bitcoin Cash was launched two years later at the beginning of August of 2017. Scalability: Bitcoin Cash’s 32MB block size is larger when compared with Ethereum’s 1MB block size. Also, while new Bitcoin Cash’s blocks are generated every 10 minutes, Ethereum blocks confirmation time is set to just 15 seconds. Mining: Bitcoin Cash uses Bitcoin’s SHA-256 hashing algorithm, which can be performed efficiently with special mining hardware, known as Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and is stronger than CPU or GPU mining. Meanwhile, Ethereum uses Ethash as its hashing algorithm, which is memory intensive. This means miners can quickly generate hashes stored on Ethereum blockchain. This also allows for Ethereum to have greater mining decentralization. Hard Forks: Bitcoin cash hard forks split into two distinct entities, Bitcoin ABC and Bitcoin SV. Meanwhile, Ethereum Classic is the successful Ethereum offshoot. This radical change to the protocol requires all users to upgrade to the latest version of the protocol software. Purpose: Bitcoin Cash is a medium of payment, Ethereum, on the other hand, is beyond that as you can use its programming platform to facilitate smart contracts and create distributed applications (dApps). Fees: Ethereum transactions cost, which is known as Gas, is based on the storage space, computational complexity, and bandwidth use On the other hand, Bitcoin Cash transaction fees are measured based on the current network condition and their block size.
