Update on the Hashwars...
First of all do you think there really will be a hashwar? Will it be 2x fork type thing? Then again 2x had a 1 week cancellation alert. There only 5 days...
So here my update:
Bitcoin Abc has
19-36% of the hashrate
67% of public nodes
69% company support
Yes bitmain is on ABC side but they can't give to much hashpower. They can't look bad for it upcoming IPO-so it hands are somewhat tied...
And worse it in a court case as well:
https://cointelegraph.com/news/mining-giant-bitmain-sues-unknown-hacker-for-alleged-theft-of-55-million-in-crypto
So bitmain limited by the looks of it in this hashwar...
However:
Mining Giant Bitmain Set To Deploy 90,000 S9 Antminers Ahead of BCH Hard Fork BCH Price Today

So that what the max Bitmain can offer by the looks of it. Could be wrong
Bitcoin SV has
48-64% of the hashrate
20% nodes
22-23% of company support

Do not think oh look free coins...
Abc and Sv has no relay option. And as you thought oh I'll just use a split option-welp
For example, if you just want to send some Bitcoin ABC (ABC) to someone, your transaction will also be valid on Bitcoin Satoshis Vision (BSV) and therefore your BSV coins are also sent. So in essence you pay the receiver twice. And the receiver can't send you only the BSV coins back — even if he wants to cooperate — for the same reason you can't send him only the ABC coins. Even trying to split Bitcoin ABC coins by using the newly introduced opcodes OP_CHECKDATASIG and OP_CHECKDATASIGVERIFY was countered by Bitcoin Satoshis Vision implementing them too, but with a different semantic. The same opcodes will transfer the coins to the miner of the block in the BSV network. In essence you lose the BSV side of your coin and can't sell it. Splitting using opcodes is effectively impossible, if you don't mine yourself and are therefore required to broadcast your transactions on the network, which can be relayed to BSV network and then collected by a miner.
Another approach to split your coins, would be to mix them with newly created coins (miner reward), but if you don't mine yourself, you depend on third parties to provide the coins and tools to mix them.

Coinex has stated they will do this for you. Coinex is viabtc which has a good amount of hashpower...

If only it Ceo didn't go to jail:

So viabtc is limted by the looks of it.
And if you didn't know...
Remember that Stress test back in September?
They were working for Nchain:
https://coingeek.com/bch-professional-stress-test-scheduled-november-17/
Satoshi Shotgun was found in this stress test:
The transactions fired from the "Satoshi Shotgun" will be crafted to only be valid on one chain or the other (and therefore rejected by nodes running today's ruleset) Take a guess at which chain this weapon will be fired at.

The first beta attack was done:
A 32mb block was mined on $BCH by BMG pool (nChain). After which the BU nodes crashed.

And this is my update...
As said:
For this reason it’s possible, that BCH will be unusable for commerce and trading for a unforeseeable time frame.
