Nimiq uses a Merkle-based accumulator to store accounts and balances, and has a Non-Interactive Proofs of Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism. | Bitcoin Cash is a cryptocurrency that was created as a result of a hard fork of the original Bitcoin blockchain that took place in 2017. Due to the open source nature of the Bitcoin protocol, and the lack of a central governing body to resolve disputes, the Bitcoin community became extremely divided about what to do about rising fees and slow transaction times. As the platform's transaction volume increased, and the associated fees to confirm them also increased dramatically, many people began advocating for a larger block size. |
