It's going to be interesting to see what happens. Starting at the same mining difficulty as BTC was holding it back. Initially, it was far too high for it to be profitable for the miners. Once the difficulty comes down maybe we'll see more pools switch over. I haven't looked at the current difficulty but with the drop in block times I'd assume it's getting less difficult to mine. That or maybe there's more pools mining now? Either way, could mean a bright future for BCH. Only time will tell.
