I was just browsing the web like usual and reading some stuff online when this Post on medium caught my attention for many reasons, one of them because is concerning BCH with the propelled plan to attribute right in the coming month, November, 8% of the newly generated coins by miners for support (mandatory, as I understood) the Infrastructure Funding Plan (IFP) which will be managed by Bitcoin ABC staff (I believe that is a company and I don't mean to direct names here), this "in the name of security and well management of the whole infrastructure that support the BCH Blockchain.
Well, that is good, when is something that will benefit the whole ecosystem surrounding the BCH, but somehow this "plan" isn't consensual and raises some voices against it, and I may know why!
So digging more about the plan on the medium post I could understand that isn't voluntary, it's compulsory and mandatory if not, then find other place to run your business, wow, that is something to note and that will never be a posture in leadership firm that fight to a free monetary world, when all the community want to be in a fun network, adopting something different such Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and spreading the word about!
When I go further to make maths (am not that good in maths), but that is an easy account 8% for 1 BCH= 0.08 BCH that each miner will need to pay each time he generate new coins, that its a Huge money, tons of dollars going to the IFP, and I now i see why it's controversial and with reasons to support the controversy.
I won't along it more but one thing is clear that 8% of 1 BCH= 0.08 BCH (do the math...don't be lazy)...
I hope this don't destroy my beloved coin BCH!..

That is the calculation with 1 BCH, but the coinbase rule will take 8% of 6.25 BCH + Fees. A much higher number, in fact.
