I also saw you mentioned Dash. Is there a reason you didn't also include Z-Cash in your short list (I am genuinely curious).
I am aware of the r/bitcoin vs r/btc controversy and understand the r/bitcoin censorship concern. On the other hand, r/btc is not censored but they seem so anti Bitcoin Core / Lightning Network, it looks to me like they don't consider the other side at all.
From what I can tell, the Lightning Network could be a scaling solution. It is awesome to know that many BCH devs aren't opposed to a lightning implementation on BCH. I'd love to see these communities converge.
