Bitcoin Cash Dev Tax May Still Roll Out Despite Roger Ver’s Support

Bitcoin.com, which is the operator of the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) mining pool recently said that it won’t support the so-called “Bitcoin Cash dev tax” and will be working on another plan. However, some developers warn that this tax might still be implemented.

“The dev tax is wounded, but not dead,” developer Peter Rizun, who is against the proposal, told Bloomberg in the latest Bitcoin Cash news.

He also pointed out that a lot of key miners support the proposal and could still implement it on May 15. Meanwhile, Bitcoin.com is led by Roger Ver, stressed that “this is a great opportunity for developers to clarify what they need funding for, and provide the specific budgets and timelines they have for their work.”

As the pool operator said, any new proposal will need to have as many people of economic weight on board as possible. These include businesses, exchanges, miners as well as Bitcoin Cash implementations.

The Bitcoin Cash dev tax is now a viral topic in the cryptonews. The CEO of one of the largest mining pools on BCH, BTC.TOP recently offered to direct 12.5% of the mining rewards to support the BCH infrastructure over a period of six months. His post included a threat to orphan the noncomplying BCH blocks (the ones would no longer be included in the BCH blockchain). Besides BTC.TOP, the proposal was also signed by other large mining pools including Antpool, ViaBTC, BTC.com as well as Bitcoin.com, until the latter revoked their support.

After that, we could see that the response from most of the miners was negative, including a lot of dramatic calls for massive exodus from the coin. The main issue, according to the comments, was based on the centralization. Taxes like these would quickly create a wholly centralized infrastructure for the coin and leave miners voting out in the cold.

Data now shows that the average number of developers working on BCH-related products (the Bitcoin Cash dev tax is one of them) declined by 32% in the first half of 2019.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is now stable with a 3.34% increase on the day and a new price of $381. The charts have seen mixed movements in the past month but the cryptocurrency made most of everything over the past week, just like many altcoins out there.
