Bitcoin Cash to Bitcoin

The key difference between Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin

Being the first cryptocurrency in the space, Bitcoin is the father of all cryptocurrencies that now exist. However, it has many limitations, such as a small block size which allows to make a very limited amount of transactions per second. Bitcoin Cash was created as a result of long debate in the crypto-currency community about scaling Bitcoin. Keep in mind that it is the fork of Bitcoin if you want to convert BCH to BTC.

The block size of Bitcoin equals to 1 Megabyte and allows to make 7 transactions per second at the maximum. Bitcoin Cash block size is increased 8 times and thus this currency allows to make up to 56 transactions per second. Still the end users do not see much difference between these two currencies, but you might still want to convert Bitcoin Cash to Bitcoin to make money on investing in cryptos.

Mining algorithms

What is Bitcoin mining algorithm?

In order to find the new block on bitcoin and get your miner’s reward, you should utilize the Proof-of-Work (PoW) algorithm. Bitcoin can be mined only on specific hardware called ASIC which consumes electricity in order to resolve computation of problems and find the new blocks. Every new block is found basing on the previous one, thus, all blocks are linked into one chain.

What is Bitcoin Cash mining algorithm?

Bitcoin Cash uses of the same SHA256 hashing algorithm as Bitcoin, as it is in fact its clone. However, Bitcoin Cash utilizes a different difficulty adjustment algorithm, and sometimes it helps to increase the profitability for its miners in comparison with Bitcoin.
