    Coinbase, Bitpay, Blockchain.info , HITBTC, Stash, BTC.com , Blockdozer, BlockChair, Bitcoin.com , Coinex, BlockTrades, Yours.org, TipprBot, Edge, BitcoinABC, Bitprim & Bitcoin Unlimited are just a few of the companies that have already implemented CashAddr! Thank you guys!

    Posted: 02 Feb 2018 07:07 PM PST

    @TREZOR 's slowness in adopting Cashaddr is already hurting their users. It's time to support Cashaddr and bring safety, security and ease of use to your customers. Many other companies in the BCH space have already switched.

    “Once BCH surpasses Bitcoin Core in terms of market cap & price & people using it around the world, people are just going to call it Bitcoin. And not too much longer after that they’re just going to call it Cash because it is going to be the Cash of the entire world.” ~@rogerkver

    Seems relevant today

    Posted: 02 Feb 2018 05:37 AM PST

    As we experience this price correction, remember that Core intentionally stunted Bitcoin's adoption and growth.

    This is who is going to run full nodes once we scale to 1GB+ blocks on-chain

    Posted: 03 Feb 2018 01:57 AM PST

    Saying that everybody needs a full node for supposed "decentralization" is an invalid & destructive philosophy. These are the entities/persons that will run full nodes(storing entire blockchain) in the future:

    • Miners (they have to)

    • Payment processors like BitPay and Coinbase (obviously)

    • Banks and Financial institutions (I don't think banks will ever completely die, they will just morph and adapt)

    • Universities (for scientific purposes)

    • Government, Spying/TLA-agencies, IRS and related (well duh, obviously)

    • Rich nerds/enthusiasts

    I think that all of the above will provide us will more full nodes than is necessary.

    The philosophy spread by Blockstream&Core saying that everybody needs a full node is completely false & unnecessary.

    Not everybody needs to run his own cloud services or email server. Nobody is mining his own crude oil & processing it himself into gasoline. Almost nobody is producing his own electricity or processing his own human waste (this is slowly changing though).

    We have dedicated companies & organizations for all of this because this way is simply more efficient. Satoshi clearly stated it.

    I'm starting to get quite skeptical over Proof of Stake

    Posted: 02 Feb 2018 11:51 AM PST

    To sum up, PoS has no difficulty adjustment and other exogenous factors of equilibrium. There is basically only punishment for trying to defraud the consensus, but there is no possible punishment for cartel formation, this exogenous factor plays no role as a property of the system - one can't simply put everything in code.

    This has some obvious problems. I'm not saying that a cartel is not possible to occur in PoW systems, but there are possibilities of preserving the network by forking away. Difficulty adjustment plays a role in reestablishing the desired block interval and other properties of the system in a new Pow, etc.

    A PoS system is ineffectively forked for that purpose when the same high stakers will receive high stakes in the new chain, obviously. But more than that, there is no easy solution on how to distribute stakes in the new chain (who will be the new high stakers?). This amounts to the creation of a new chain, which will suffer from the same problems eventually.

    Furthermore, high stakers are cheaper/easier to co-op than big miners, because big miners have much more to lose (stakes AND physical resources).

    Idk, I don't see how this can evolve organically.

    I'm not a maximalist at all, but I'm becoming increasingly skeptical over the current alternatives to bitcoin (cash); should ethereum really move into PoS in the current state of art? I don't think so and I guess u/vbuterin should be considering all these angles before he does move into PoS, but who knows.

    Bitcon Cash - Banking the unbanked

    Posted: 02 Feb 2018 09:40 PM PST

    The low fees of Bitcoin Cash (send any amount anywhere for less than a penny) is the game-changer for the world's unbanked. While every penny is important for the extreme unbanked, the fielded Bitcoin Cash scaling and fee structure means it is capable of reaching all but the extreme unbanked. Let's not be pedantic, this is a very good outcome as indirectly it becomes all the unbanked if the reach closes to that last mile.

    https://np.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/7uxzzx/i_have_some_concerns_about_ethereum_could_anyone/

    This is what I posted :

    Disclaimer : I am a ETH holder

    First what I'm going to tell you is very controversial, so let's not start a fight here. I saw a subreddit, /r/Ethereumfraud. It explains Ethereum's problems and centralization.

    Vitalik even said that if Putin uses a ERC-20 for evil purposes he would stop him. Now of course, I do not want anything bad to happen but doesn't this give Vitalik power (centralization) ? A release coordinator also threatened to collude against someone when he posted proof about Ethereum's problem.

    I'd really like it if /u/vbuterin or anyone can tell me what's going on with a clear explanation. I don't want it to be "they're wrong" or "fud" without an explanation.

    Bitcoin Cash Fund - Monthly Report 02.02.18

    Posted: 02 Feb 2018 09:45 AM PST

    Bitcoin Cash Fund - Monthly Report 02.02.18

     

    At the end of every month I will be writing an update on the Bitcoin Cash Fund to keep everyone up-to-date on what has been going on. This will include Active Projects, Complete Projects, Bitcoin Cash Meetups, Skills Sought, and BCF Organisation updates.

     

    If you don't know what the BCF (Bitcoin Cash Fund) is go check out our website at thebitcoincash.fund or come and talk to us in our community chat at chat.thebitcoincash.fund.

     

     

    ACTIVE PROJECTS

     

    Bitcoin Cash Treasure Hunt

    What's more exciting than a little treasure hunt? The Bitcoin Cash treasure hunt initiative is underway as we speak. Members of the community will be able to design a unique paper wallet for the worldwide scavenger hunt. The wallet will have instructions designed to give beginners some background information about Bitcoin Cash, and a link to "https://findbitcoin.cash," which will have instructions on how they can claim their funds. The site will serve a multitude of purposes.

    Firstly, it will host a map, where community members can hide wallets and provide geo-mapped clues as to where they are.

    Secondly, a resource for beginners to learn some basics of Bitcoin Cash. Lastly, it will provide links to resources in the community to expand their knowledge about the Bitcoin Cash ecosystem! We anticipate the site to be up and running in full functionality by the time next weeks update comes out.

    This project is expected to launch next week.

     

    SeatacBCH

    The goal of the SeatacBCH project is to prepare, deploy, and build a ground-based grassroots movement in the Seatac area of the U.S.A. to promote the acceptance of Bitcoin Cash at local businesses.

    The project is just waiting on the completion of a new POS service.

     

    BarberAd

    George and his son, Andy are at the barbershop, when George suddenly remembers he left his wallet at home. Luckily, Andy has some Bitcoin Cash and sends his dad some. George then tips his barber, and pays for both their haircuts. There will also be humorous elements within the script. 2 different edits - One 30 second, and a 1:30 edit.

    The ad is now complete except for the few CG elements. Once these are complete the promotional video will be released.

     

    BCHTuts (Bitcoin Cash Tutorials)

    A series of 10 tutorials covering tools in the Bitcoin Cash ecosystem. Each will come as text and video. People who enjoy going at their own pace can read the written form and people who want to kick back can watch the video. Tutorials will be published on Yours.org and have a YouTube video embedded.

    This project is in progress.

     

    BitcoinCashJS?

    Since Bitcoin Cash's launch in August, there is an ever-increasing need for a BCH-specific JavaScript development library. Currently, all businesses providing a service via a web interface that wish to support Bitcoin Cash or handle Bitcoin Cash transactions are forced to fork one of the existing Bitcoin libraries and apply the necessary changes to make the code BCH-compatible. This is a very error prone process, and increases friction for the development of new applications in the ecosystem.

    BitcoinCash.js will be the first JavaScript development library which is 100% BCH-compatible out of the box, and will remain up-to-date with all future Bitcoin Cash upgrades, such as the upcoming new address format to be released in January. This will streamline the creation of new interesting user applications, reduce the surface for errors, and help push Bitcoin Cash into global adoption

     

    Business Onboarding Info Pack

    A project to put together an info pack to get businesses started with Bitcoin Cash. The current plan is to include a pamphlet, some Bitcoin Cash Accepted Here" stickers, some leaflets aimed at users for the business to have available at the point-of-sale, and a paper wallet with small amount of Bitcoin Cash to play with. These packs will then be provided at meetups, events and anyone who needs them for onboarding businesses.

    The information pamphlet is complete and on order. The stickers are complete and on order. We now have the ability to use custom designs on cashaddress.org. We are now in the process of creating the leaflet for users. There was a hold up on this while we looked for a graphic designer.

     

    BCH Netherlands Mini-Conference

    A one day conference in Amsterdam. During this conference we will discuss Bitcoin Cash from a social, technical and commercial point of view. Speakers from companies such as BTC.COM, Lokad and the Bitcoin Cash Fund will give you a unique perspective of what is going on with the Bitcoin Cash crypto currency. The event will be held on the roof of the TQ building (TQ Club) in the heart of Amsterdam.

    Interesting Talks by industry leaders including: - Remy - Introduction + Bitcoin Cash changes lives in Venezuela - Alejandro DeLaTorre (BTC.com) - What we need to do to make Bitcoin Cash successful - Justin Bons (Cyber Capital) - Bitcoin Cash; A store of value and the importance of it being a functional currency - Tobias Hoffmann (BTC.com) - A fork in the road: differences between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash - Joannes Vermorel (Lokad) - The scalability challenges of Bitcoin Cash - Paul Wasensteiner (The Bitcoin Cash Fund) - The BCF and the Path to a Billion Users

     

    High Quality Bitcoin Cash Ad

    The concept is to create a high-quality Bitcoin Cash ad that is accessible to the masses and that we can use to heavily advertise Bitcoin Cash in video form (e.g. on youtube, vimeo, and social media). The ad would be similar in nature to this ad by Coca Cola. It would show people all around the world using Bitcoin Cash (and having a great life) in their every day lives.

    The tagline would be 'Bitcoin Cash - For everyone'. The idea is to show that Bitcoin Cash is a currency that is accessible to save and spend and receive by anyone and everyone in the world, and that by doing so people gain access to the global economy.

     

    Bitcoin Cash Documentary

    A project to be produced simultaneously as the ad to maximise fund use.

    The documentary would target two key concepts:

    • 1. Why and how does Bitcoin Cash exist.
    • 2. Bitcoin Cash is used in a real economy by people all around the world, and these people need a good money system.

    There would be a short motion graphic section in the documentary to explain the technical side of why/how Bitcoin Cash exists (e.g. block size, forks, on-chain scaling). This informational motion graphics section would also be suitable as a stand-alone video that can be used on social media to explain the situation.

    We are now actively looking for people around the world who use Bitcoin Cash, and the ability to use it impact their lives. If this is you, or you know someone like this, please get in touch.

     

    Project 1B

    This project is a grand scheme to work towards on-boarding 1 billion people onto the Bitcoin Cash economy in developing countries.

    The concept is to manufacture and sell $5 feature phones in large quantities in various developing countries, and have these devices partly subsidised by various parties including charities and mobile networks. These phones would have a simple user and merchant Bitcoin Cash app pre-installed and would be loaded with a few dollars worth of Bitcoin Cash. For example, the phone cost = $5 and the phone has $4 of Bitcoin Cash on it.

    The apps will work with very low resources in a similar way to the wallets at yours.org.

     

    Super Secret Website Project

    We have a big website project we are working on internally (Not the BCF website). We will have some big updates on this over the coming month.

     

    We are currently in the process of setting up many more exciting projects!

     

     

    COMPLETE PROJECTS

     

    TxHighway

    Visualize the difference in speed and scalability by comparing Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Core's transactions using our highway themed blockchain visualizer. Unlock a bonus sprite with each donation back to the Bitcoin Cash Fund and monitor your address.

    This project executed with massive success! Soon we hope to be working with the amazing team that built this site to produce a new educational tool.

     

    What Is Bitcoin Cash?

    This is an internal BCF project to produce a video similar to the What is Bitcoin? video, but remade for Bitcoin Cash. The voiceover for the video is the amazing Kevan Brighting who did the voiceover for the award winning game Stanley Parable. The video will be roughly 1:30 minutes long and should be completed within 2-3 weeks.

    Work has started on the translations to Chinese, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, and French. This should take another week or so.

     

    Bitcoin Cash Sound Branding

    Internal BCF project to produce a branded sound for Bitcoin Cash payments. This sound would be used industry wide in apps when a bitcoin cash payment is sent or received. This sound would also be used in promotional video material to reinforce the brand. This sound would have a similar psychological effect as the macbook powering-on sound.

    This is now complete and can be heard at the end of the new 'What is Bitcoin Cash?' video.

    Please reach out to all the wallets that use Bitcoin Cash and show your support for the BCH sound branding.

     

     

    Global Bitcoin Cash Meetups

    There is now a total of at least 34 Bitcoin Cash

     

     

    The BCF will be sponsoring all these meetups and providing support to the organisers. It is amazing to see how rapidly they are popping up all over the globe!

    If you live in a major city and would like to start hosting Bitcoin Cash meetups, get in contact with us. Reach out to our official twitter account dedicated to coordinating with meetups @BCFmeetups!

    Financial Transparency

     

    We fully understand that as an organisation we need to be fully transparent about what we are doing, especially in the area of finances. We intend to have something more graphically presentable on our website once the second phase of development is complete, but for now you can see a list of all transactions we have made from the BCF donation address. You can also see this in this SPREADSHEET.

     

    Our spending so far is:

    • November 2017 - $3,639
    • December 2017 - $8,299
