Since it's the same amount of work to get a BTC or a BCH, but the BTC is worth ~5x more.
There's an chance that you will find a block that is invalidated by someone else finding at about the same time, but that's marginal effect

yeah, i wasn’t trying to think through second order games about latency and connectedness in a transient fork or anything like that.
-
but it brings us to
@binarybits initial question: if mining is always mining alone, effectively, difficulty is identical but price is much -
higher for bch, why mine it? did the fork include accelerated difficulty adjustments, or are some bch supporting miners altruistically
-
bearing opportunity costs to support the fork?
-
I think it's the latter.

Though BCH apparently has some provision for adjusting difficulty down early in anticipation of this problem.https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/6qomfj/will_bch_be_off_to_a_very_slow_start_mining/ …

(it’s weird about humans that we treat antonyms as semantically close and mistake them. better me: “but price is much LOWER for bch…” grrr.)

(and we’re still at 478570. maybe it really is almost 12 hrs old.)
