Bitcoin SV Splits Into 3 Chains
Main page News, Altcoins

Bitcoin SV's network split into 3 last Saturday after a huge 210 MB block was mined during the crypto's scheduled hard fork.

BitMEX Research reported on August 3 that Bitcoin SV's nodes were divided into three groups on Saturday, causing the network to be split into three independent chains.

Reportedly, 65% of the nodes have been upgraded, 17% are stuck in the 210 MB block and 19% have not even been upgraded and remain in the pre-fork chain.

That huge 210 MB block was apparently mined Saturday by miner CoinGeek and included 808,633 transactions.

Bitcoin SV, which is a hard fork of Bitcoin Cash, executed a hard fork last July 24 in order to increase its block size from 128 MB to 2 gigabytes.

The victims of this error have been small miners, since they have not been able to process these huge blocks.
