    ETH network is clogged, time for BCH to shine

    Posted: 11 Sep 2019 10:46 PM PDT

    i missed two trades on localethereum.com just because the escrow was opening in 30 mins vs the usual 1 min or so .

    turns out that USDT ERC20 token movement has totally clogged ethereum and has rendered the network useless and now tether has announced ERC20 Yuan tether

    this is time for BCH to shine . we must lobby to companies to launch their tokens on BCH SLP .

    I would like to introduce a new coder in to the Bitcoin Cash community, agent725. He is working on his own system called hybrix which is a cross-ledger API, transaction signing and oracle scripting tool and would like some feedback.

    I did it - adoption success story

    Posted: 11 Sep 2019 01:52 PM PDT

    So I have a personal trainer that is pretty young and into technology in general. I got to talking about BCH during one of our sessions and she seemed to already know about bitcoin. To make a long story short, she now has a bitcoin.com wallet and accepts BCH from me!

    I got a 10% discount on my next 10 sessions as well!!!

    I'm going to be losing tons of weight and I might actually be able to say that BCH helped me do it lol.

    My experience with the lightning network.

    Posted: 11 Sep 2019 09:25 AM PDT

    I, @ComputingFTW , was 193rd in the lightning torch.

    I never trusted the LN for long term storage. So I tried to buy a sticker from Blockstream. My $8 balance did not make a $6 payment. I tried to order less a $4 order.

    • Payment did not go through
    • Payment did not go through
    • Payment did not go through
    • Payment went through

    The strange thing is that my balance did not change. So that meant that either:

    • They decided to ship the sticker anyway without receiving payment.
    • The payment went through and my balance was not displaying correctly.
    • The network was out of consensus.

    This last option would mean the the LN is DOA.

    I was able to rule out the second option because I donated the remaining balance in full to Jochen Hoenicke

    Now I have no lightning balance to worry about and I like it that way.

    PSA: Wish your favorite business accepted Bitcoin Cash? Ask them to!

    Posted: 12 Sep 2019 01:12 AM PDT

    Bitcoin Cash is cash for the internet, you can pay your bills with it, buy groceries, book a flight or a hotel, tip people on social media, issue your own tokens... There're millions of things you can do with it. Use your cash. It's the only way to create true value.����

    I am paying 0.15 BCH if you can provide a link to Lightning Network whitepaper or announcement released in 2014 on its official creators' domain or mailing list. I know it exists, I remember it, but it was seemingly lost in the abyss of time. Can you find it for me?

    Posted: 11 Sep 2019 11:58 AM PDT

    Here is the WHOIS record for Lightning.Network domain:

    Updated Date: 2019-02-02T01:41:17Z Creation Date: 2015-02-21T22:36:22Z Registry Expiry Date: 2020-02-21T22:36:22Z 

    Here is video presentation of Lightning Network from march 2015:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zVzw912wPo

    By February 2015 Lightning Network was already long under way.

    I also remember the first draft of their Whitepaper and it was from end of 2014. Unfortunately it is not possible to find it currently.

    Or is it? Can you find it? Prize awaits.

    EDIT:

    OK, most probably I am misremembering and off by few months, the publicly available whitepapers are from 2015 or later...

    If nobody finds the older version until tomorrow, I will just split the reward between 2 people who convinced me of the truth.

    Bitcoin Cash's Avalanche vs Syscoin Z-DAG. Who wins? I linked to a comment comparing them.

    A fresh $300 million worth of Tether was printed today guys, also obscenities that are likely directed at BCH

    Posted: 12 Sep 2019 02:46 AM PDT

    These Tether guys sure have a great sense of humor! Not only are they printing $300 million out of thin air, they're adding "FuckCoinCash (#746)"and "Fuck us? No. Fuck you." to their blockchain.

    Here comes the BTC pump, boys. And this time they're likely bringing the other $275 million USDT they printed last month and didn't use to pump BTC. I'm fine selling them some 1MB-tarded coin for some cheap BCH.

    Crescent Cash v1.8.0 is now being rolled out to the Google Play Store! Windows, macOS, and Linux versions are now available. This update increases the bloom filter false positive rate, adds Tor support, and allows for wallets to now be encrypted!

    Posted: 11 Sep 2019 11:46 AM PDT

    Hey all!

    I've just released v1.8.0 after staying up all night finishing the update after watching Josh Ellithorpe's Privacy of Wallets Bitcoin Cash City talk.

    v1.8.0 is titled "The Privacy Update". This update enables and/or adds many privacy and anonymity protections for users.

    Part of v1.7.9 is tied to this update. v1.7.9 changed some of the UI so I could enable BIP32 support for Crescent Cash. (SLP wallet is still single address).

    v1.8.0:

    • Increases bloom filter false positive rate. This gives a privacy edge to the user.

    • Adds Tor support. This increases anonymity of the user. Note: Some portions of the wallet still do not utilize Tor, but this is being worked on.

    • Adds option to encrypt wallet. This increases the user's privacy. Enabling this will prompt you for a password. When starting up the wallet later on, you will be prompted to enter your password to decrypt the wallet. The wallet will simply not be usable if you do not enter the correct password.

    I still have some work to do, but this is the first step in improving privacy of Crescent Cash!

    Enjoy!

    Documentation of my Lightning network experience.

    Posted: 11 Sep 2019 10:18 AM PDT

    So people are asking for documentation.

    Here's the announcement on twitter of me receiving the Lightning torch

    Here's all the transactions in my wallet of Satoshi LN wallet

    Keith sent me 100 sats to demonstrate how it worked. I sent myself 199k sats so I could add to the torch. Keith sent me the over 3M sats (which is the torch)

    I sent just a little bit more to Pedro.

    Then I must have tried it out with a donation of 2k sats.

    Then the payment was made that doesn't show up that got me a blockstream sticker.

    Here's the email that blockstream sent

    Hi Darren,

    Thank you for your order, it has been received and is now being processed. Your order details are shown below for your reference.

    Please contact us at store@blockstream.com if you have any questions.

    Sincerely, Blockstream Store

    Order Details 

    Order Number: 9795 Order Date: February 14, 2019

    Product Quantity Price

    "I Got Lightning Working" Sticker

    1 $ 1.99 

    Subtotal: $ 1.99

    Shipping: $ 3.00 via Standard shipping

    Payment method: Bitcoin Lightning

    Total: $ 4.99

    Here's the very last payment I made to Johoen

    Here's a screen shot that i made in February of the failed payments

    I've been on this ride before. There may be a few posts below about this being customer error. That only amplifies what a poor payment method the LN network is.

    So my documentation that a payment went through on the lightning network but did not effect my balance. Evidence that the network was out of consensus.
