    The method of picking one team (BCHN) as the sole enemy of some idea (ABC) makes it possible to show how great ABC is by making the other team look bad.

    The reality is that the entire ecosystem is against ABC. The reality is that the ABC people have an indefensible position and are alone in their corner with some people they promised pots of gold as shields.

    Don't repeat the party line and instead re-iterate that ABC is literally attacking everyone that has contributed to BCH.

    opinion post about the future

    Posted: 24 Aug 2020 10:48 PM PDT

    Long time lurker here but I figured to use my cake day as an excuse to post.

    I still believe in a global currency p2p cash and that we'll eventually have less contentious decisions in the future. I hope that after the dust settles with all the mutiny and in fighting happening the last 2-3 years, we can start to refocus on getting worldwide adoption that we all promised ourselves we will strive towards...

    I really hope that Bitcoin Cash will be the one leading this charge!

    Lack of Bitcoin developer funding is not a market failure. It's market feedback.

    Josh Ellithorpe: "I am quite upset that ABC is trying to frame us as supporters. [...] Their current marketing and social media presence is super dishonest to make it appear the IFP has support when it doesn't."

    Why I Recently Converted From ABC to BCHN

    Austrian Economist Hoppe parodies the "free-rider problem" (and ABC)

    Posted: 24 Aug 2020 05:05 PM PDT

    ABC shills such as Shammah Chancellor calls those against the IFP tax "Bitsheviks" - yet ABC proceeds to announce that they will be collecting a socialist tax and handing it back to those they deem "worthy", such as BCHD, etc" - trying to bribe projects into conformity. Isn't that fucking ironic?

    Posted: 24 Aug 2020 10:25 AM PDT

    The list of the IFP tax/theft supporters is growing smaller and they are having to put their masks down and announce their anti-Bitcoin positions loud and proud.

    Bitcoin is not code only, it is a very well balanced technoeconomic system, and no where neither in its whitepaper nor in any sane man's definition of it does it say "pay to this one entity 8% of every coin minted who then can socially redistribute it".

    You are the attackers. You are the ones trying to destroy Bitcoin's soundness and centralize its mining and leadership into the hands of one nerd so that you can make him bow to your masters (assuming he's not already kissing their feet).

    And to top this all, the one major miner supporting all of this is the same miner "Haipo" who suggested that they should confiscate all unmoved UTXOs since the fork and use them to finance ABC. hahaha. They will literally be stealing MY MONEY to finance this nerd.

    Absolutely pathetic, to hell with ABC and their futile attempt, you will go down in the garbage can of history.

    So will all your dogs, no matter how loud they bark.

    So go ahead, bark louder Shammah.

    Getting started as a bitcoin cash merchant

    Posted: 25 Aug 2020 12:40 AM PDT

    So I've spent some time looking into various APIs and services, trying to get a basic merchant setup working usable for development, with a working testnet. The quality of the services offered and documentation is lacking, to say the least.

    So I've taken a step back and decided I would try to get this working from "first principles", basically setting up a node and using the related APIs. I first tried the BCHD node which was looking promising, until the testnet version of it got into a loop where it kept complaining about some invalid transactions over and over and never seemed to recover.

    The I tried "Bitcoin Cash Node", which is an awful name for search engines btw. It could really need a more unique and searchable name. After some struggle and careful reading of startup options and configuration files, I managed to get nodes up an running (testnet and mainnet) and in such a state that they answer to REST and JSONRPC calls.

    I have transferred some bitcoin on testnet to a know address, using a public "faucet" that works (also a bit hard to find). I know that I managed to get that part working, as I've successfully looked up the balance of that address using a few of the public blockchain lookup tools.

    What I havent' quite figured out is how to look up that address on my locally running node. Most of the API deals with transactions, not addresses. There aren't many APIs that accept addresses. scantxoutset might work, but it uses terms as "scan", which indicates it's not a "low cost" operation (which I would expect).

    So I'm wondering, does this really mean that most bitcoin nodes really isn't usable for looking up addresses?? Or to turn it around, can anybody recommend bitcoin cash nodes that offers an easy to use API for looking up payment related things, like addresses?

    Final note, I know how wallets etc work. The reason I'm trying to implement similar functionality from scratch is to understand all the details. And because a merchant typically can't just accept the current limited functionality with wallets, which seems focused on a single user's need, not what a merchant would need (gap issue etc).

    And fwiw, I've also tested the "bitbox" API (which does not have a working testnet) and "fullstack" API (which has a working testnet, although documentation isn't complete). So I know about other ways of doing similar stuff. I'm just trying to minimize the number of external things I need to depend on while also figuring out how this can be done straight from running nodes.

    ABC follows governments in trying to buy votes with tax money

    Posted: 24 Aug 2020 09:13 AM PDT

    ABC just posted this.

    https://medium.com/bitcoin-abc/supporting-bitcoin-cash-infrastructure-c8a7c1fac209

    The BCHD team, led by Chris Pacia and Josh Ellithorpe, are a shining example of how independent market actors, free to innovate, can provide unique products and services. In recent months, James Cramer, co-creator of the Simple Ledger Protocol (SLP), and JT Freeman have expanded BCHD's already impressive capabilities by adding support for the indexing of the data necessary for businesses to easily and reliably support SLP tokens. Bitcoin ABC applauds and celebrates these efforts. These individuals and the projects that they helm are examples of where we will be dedicating our increased technical and financial resources in the years ahead.

    They're trying to create a dependent welfare class and bribe it into supporting them by redirecting some of the money stolen from miners by the IFP tax.

    A vile move typical of governments and their taxation/welfare system where they buy votes with some of the money stolen through taxes to make sure they can keep their criminal scheme going.

    BCHN vs ABC in numbers : there's a clear winner.

    Posted: 24 Aug 2020 06:39 AM PDT

    I've breakdown the data in Four sets : pool support, companies/organisations support, infrastructure, futures price. I'll update the data based on your comments - as I probably forgot some key players - so it is the most accurate !

    .

    MINERS SUPPORT :

    Pools signaling BCHN : BTC.top : https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/icgm21/its_over_btctop_saying_no_ifp_is_the_nail_in/

    ABC hash signaled : Around 5%

    Hash unsignaled : Around 31% (mainly Jihan Wu with Antpool & btc.com pools)

    *ViaBTC said they were going to support the 2 implementations and once asked to clarify, stated that ABC would be the default implementation for the miners in their pool (I divided the hashrate by 2 regarding Viabtc to obtain the hash signaled numbers).

    .

    Companies/organisations signaling BCHN :
