By CCN: A single address has sent over 674,000 transactions on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain. The address was just created last month, on April 9th, and is one of a handful of addresses that account for the vast majority of transactions on the fourth-largest cryptocurrency’s blockchain.

Every time this reporter sends or receives a transaction on Bitcoin Cash, he notices that an additional, tiny transaction goes through.
