SQUARE and their Cash App are great for bitcoin's growth, but we need them to utilize batching and segwit ASAP Posted: 04 Aug 2018 01:04 PM PDT Jack Dorsey (Twitter and Square's CEO) seems to be a die hard bitcoin supporter. However, Cash App doesn't appear to utilize batching nor segwit. Before we can really start recommending Cash App to the world, we need Jack to walk the walk and do what's best for bitcoin by implementing batching and segwit amongst his services. Yes, if you do not control your own keys, it's not really your bitcoin. However, the coinbases and cash apps of the world do serve a purpose to those that are currently unskilled with bitcoin security. History has shown us that coinbase does not have bitcoin's best interest in mind. However, due to user pressure, they are currently utilizing batching and segwit. @Jack, @square, and @cashapp, please make this a priority and give us an ETA. I'm sure many within the community are ready to lend a helping hand with these upgrades. submitted by /u/h8IT [link] [comments]
