#BitcoinCash (BCC)/BCH — is a hard fork version of the original Bitcoin. It is similar to Bitcoin in terms of protocol: SHA-256 Proof of Work hashing, 21,000,000 coins, the same block time, and reward system. However, two main differences lie in the block size limits: as of August 2017, Bitcoin has a block size limit of 1 MB, while (BCC)/BCH offers block sizes of 8 MB. Additionally, (BCC)/BCH will adjust the difficulty every 6 blocks instead of 2016 blocks like Bitcoin.
#BitcoinCash is a proposal from the Via BTC mining pool and the Bitcoin mining group to conduct a UAHF (user-activated hard fork) on August 1 at 12:20 Coordinated Universal Time. They rejected the agreed consensus (also known as BIP-91 or SegWit2x) and decided to fork the original Bitcoin blockchain and create a new version called Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin Cash can be received by holders of $BTC who have their private keys or those who store their Bitcoins on a service that will split (BCC)/BCH for the client.$BCH
