Realtime hashrate metrics from BTC.com show that Antpool's hashrate on the main Bitcoin chain has dropped close to 15% over the past 24h! Where is all this mining power now?

The biggest dip (-34.56%) is obviously on the viaBTC pool, which is the primary backer of the BCH fork. BW's hashrate has also dropped more than 6%.

The only major pools that have seen an increase in mining power over the past 24h would be BTCC and Bixin.

I hope they haven't switched to bitcoin cash. Bitcoin cash is the kind of thing that will ruin the Bitcoin community.

Their last blog post said they were fully behind the NY agreement, but Bitmain also said they reserved the right to support Bitcoin Cash. So, it's possible they may be getting ready to mine both chains.

Still learning on how to utilize cryptocurrency.
