Stacks of Cash: Weekly Roundup #2

**Stacks of Cash**  Week of August 24, 2020 The best of Bitcoin Cash this week **The Discourse** This week continues a divisive atmosphere ahead of the November 15th network upgrade pitting Bitcoin ABC against much of the business and mining ecosystem. No-IFP proponents continue to outline their displeasure at the road taken by Amaury Sechet's ABC to create a centralized fund by altering mining incentives, noting such a move as deeply against the Bitcoin ethos shared by many BCH community members that are concerned over the potential damage to BCH and its investor's confidence. https://read.cash/@jonald_fyookball/amaurys-ifp-is-incompatible-with-bitcoin-cash-cadaec1a https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/iha1ky/amaurys_attempt_at_an_ifp_is_already_making/ Bitcoin ABC released a statement outlining forward guidance on what it calls the *Global Network Council* as a governance and funding framework for its participants. https://www.bitcoinabc.org/2020-08-27-global-network-council/ BCHN has continued building support now accounting for nearly 50% of signaling hashpower, with the remainder not signaling at all.

BCH experienced a slight downturn this week ending at -3.5% overall.

*More* Craig Wright of *Bitcoin SV* infamy has accepted the challenge *Bitcoin.com* CEO Roger Ver to sue him again after calling Wright a "liar and fraud", an opinion famously shared by other heavyweights in the crypto-economy like Vitalik Buterin. https://maxbit.cc/craig-wright-brings-defamation-charges-against-bitcoin-coms-roger-ver-in-antigua-and-barbuda/ https://www.ccn.com/vitalik-buterin-re-craig-wright-deconomy-2018-fraud/ Anxiety increases for the well being of SHA miners after tragic flooding in China that appears to be worsening by the day with service outages all over the province of Sichuan, as well as much attention being also paid to the health of China's biggest hydroelectric dam, Three Gorges Dam, that many believe may have a catastrophic collapse under mounting flood waters. BTC could in particular be vulnerable to sudden hashpower loss drastically impacting network performance. https://www.okex.com/academy/en/sichuan-floods-bitcoin-atm-fraud-and-blockchain-in-consumer-finance-china-market-watch https://www.theguardian.com/weather/2020/aug/05/monsoon-rain-puts-pressure-on-china-three-gorges-dam Development **Bitcoin Unlimited** releases version 1.9.0.0 for the November upgrade in league with BCHN and others for the no-IFP fork.
