    Do not update Bitcoin / Bitcoin cash apps to 1.5.1 on Ledger - it will no longer work with Electron Cash / Electrum

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 01:58 AM PST

    Since it is very difficult to downgrade an app on ledger, I'd like to share this info here.

    Issue is tracked on Github: https://github.com/Electron-Cash/Electron-Cash/issues/2054#issuecomment-730255039

    Ledger will now run BCHN instead of ABC and hence follow the Bitcoin Cash chain!

    Question about LN that r/bitcoin mods won't approve

    Posted: 18 Nov 2020 12:13 PM PST

    This post was originally for r/bitcoin however it's been almost 24 hours and the moderators have yet to review the post... so I figured I'd ask here. I try to get varied opinions from both sides. I know the sentiment around Roger Ver and BCH in that sub, but want to hear arguments for and against certain topics.

    I have genuine good faith question that I haven't really been able to sufficiently find an answer for online. I've heard Roger bring up the fact in this video (starting at 3:10) that it will take 47.6 years to get everyone in the world onto a lightning network channel. Is this somehow misleading? And that would be if each person just opened up ONE channel. Am I fundamentally misunderstanding how the LN works? Do you need to open up a separate channel for each party that you want to transact with? In other words, I would need a separate channel for Starbucks, McDonalds, Target, etc? I don't understand how that would possibly be feasible. Someone explain to me why I'm wrong!

    What's the difference between the 3 modes of CashFusion for Consolidation, Fan-out, Normal, and Self-fusing?

    Posted: 18 Nov 2020 11:46 PM PST

    If "Bcash" is such a scam and has no value why is everyone taking a swipe at it and why do trolls invest so much time here?

    Posted: 18 Nov 2020 07:08 AM PST

    Ever since Bitcoin gained value it has attracted all sorts of bad actors trying to make a buck at any cost. Some are obvious like low level thieves who try to steal people's coins or private keys, while others play a more advanced game like Amaury Sechet's recent attempt at directly siphoning off 8% of newly minted Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin has a big target on it and always will so long as it has value.

    Lets take a look at some attempts at profiting off Bitcoin in the past few years.

    • Around 2017 Blockstream halted Bitcoin's scaling while Blockstream's employees Greg Maxwell and Peter Wiulle offered their SegWit "solution" to Lightning. Four years later Lightning still hasn't reached 1/10th feature parity with Bitcoin onchain, while Liquid has low fee transactions, no send limits, offline sending, fast transactions, the works. They've certainly had no problems selling their Liquid solution when Bitcoin fees are high instead of promoting Lightning.

    • Then Craig Wright the conman came along and tried to take over BCH around 2018. He played along with the community but when decisions where made that didn't go along with his plan, he threw a fit, showed his true colors and made threats and attempts to destroy both Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash. His threats weren't empty as he had Billionaire Calvin Ayre backing him with millions invested in his own miners and hashrate. Not to mention the battle over the BCH ticker and name.

    • This year we had Amaury Sechet the original developer for Bitcoin Cash try to force his developer tax of 8% onto Bitcoin Cash. Naturally the community kicked him out.

    2 of the 3 recent attacks have been on Bitcoin Cash not Bitcoin. Not to mention of all the 50+ Bitcoin forks, why does Bitcoin Cash get it's own pet name? Why doesn't Bitcoin SV or Bitcoin Gold get a pet name? Adam Back always referred to Bitcoin Gold by it's full and proper name, but always uses "Bcash" for Bitcoin Cash.

    If you focus on price, you're here for the wrong reasons my friend, and you don't get what Bitcoin Cash is building.

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 02:27 AM PST

    If you focus on price, and you keep posting that "bcash price down BTC up hurr durr", then your market analysis is seriously flawed, and you need to read this.

    The fundamentals BCH has are clear and are unique to it, and while rBitcoin, rCryptocurrency and other censored channels are all today driving a certain narrative, decentralized uncensrorable social media options are growing.

    Contrast this to Twitter for example, which recently took over the @Bitcoin account because Jack, Twitter's CEO, is a large investor in Lightning and other BTC and Blockstream custodial solutions, and BCH is a threat to that banking-like model.

    Once this decentralized social media movement reaches a certain adoption threshold, and like an avalanche eventually begins out of that single last additional snowflake, BTC will quickly lose value to BCH's real fundamentals.

    Which top 10 coin has BCH's:

    -Bitcoin's original distribution and multi year emission schedule

    -Bitcoin's original game theory parameters - no skewed incentives, no rent seeking like LN, Liquid, ABC's tax, BSV's copyrights, etc

    -BCH's hyper focus on scaling decentralized peer to peer electronic cash, on-chain and absolutely unstoppable and permissionless

    -Number of clients and mining and node software options

    -Number of ecosystem participants

    -Number of projects

    -Nunber of tokens (SLP)

    -Decentralized governance and pure open market competition

    -Optional yet irreversible privacy (Coin-fusion) allowing it to be grandfathered by most regulatory bodies and government entities (unlike Monero which is banned by default by many due to its always-on privacy)

    -Fungibility due to said perfect, semi-default, optional privacy

    And list goes on and on.

    There's a reason forks and attempts to capture are still happening on BCH rather than BTC or else, it's because BCH owns the best fundamentals, and by a huge fucking margin.

    If you focus on price, you're here for the wrong reasons my friend and you don't get what Bitcoin Cash is building.

    Question: does cashfusion stop at some point

    Posted: 18 Nov 2020 06:04 PM PST

    Hey guys, yesterday I tried out cashfusion for the first time on the electron cash wallet. I see that the coins are being fused and new transactions are being relayed. I am wondering if this process comes to a halt at some point or of it just goes on and on because I am fusing 10 BCH and it has been going on and on since yesterday. How do I know when the coins have been sufficiently fused. I'm using all the default settings on the wallet.

    I got robbed by a fake ElectrumSV wallet

    Posted: 18 Nov 2020 01:31 PM PST

    I got robbed by a fake ElectrumSV wallet

    I just got some Bitcoin SV stolen by a fake ElectrumSV wallet that I downloaded from a domain that has a 'B' between the words "Electrum" and "SV", and ends in dot-org. Do not download that wallet. Don't be like me. I didn't notice the bad domain name spelling. The funds were stolen by this transaction. Merry Christmas BSV thief.

    Edit: The reason I went to that site was because it was at the top of the DuckDuckGo search results for "electrum sv". I guess I'm returning to Google.

    The Bitcoin Cash Fork Post-Mortem - Collin' It Like It Is #105

    Will the suddenly increased price of bitcoin push more new people to use BCH instead?

    Posted: 18 Nov 2020 02:23 PM PST

    Bitcoin today hit 18.000 usd, which filled all the holders of bitcoin with enthusiasm but. (Including me), but it's clear that such sudden change will also effect people who're not accustomed to cryptocurrencies and simply look for something to make their life easier. Personally as a developer and a user I prefer more stable and of course cheaper cryptocurrencies for usage. Additionally 18.000 usd is way too much, and even if someone decides to buy smaller amounts of bitcoin, the currency operates almost as a stock, instead of a tool. Which I believe to be the issue with regular users who look for a decentralized peer-to peer currency.

    Perhaps BCH now is going to receive these new people. But nothing is for certain, what do you think?

    Mining-dutch got 2 orphans on BCHA

    Posted: 18 Nov 2020 11:22 AM PST

    Screenshot from their dashboard.

    Not long ago people here realized that miners needed to take deliberate action to mine BCHA. Do it wrong, skip tests, get invalid blocks... And these were particularly expensive ones.

    Reading their discord, I believe they are going for a 3rd one soon:

    Cryptofarmer [mining-dutch]Today at 6:49 AM @Bucher Looks like we are not allowed to place the minerFunding transaction before the minerReward in the coinbase.... :pensive:

    I've swapped the 2 transaction positions now testing.....

    PS. This 'testing' he is referring to is in production. yay!

    PS2. Wrong title. Those were not orphans, they were invalid blocks.

    Localbitcoins -UK

    Posted: 19 Nov 2020 03:36 AM PST

    Hi all...

    Buying btc with ID is a no go for me. Ive had some major issues in the past with identity theft.

    Someone recommended localbitcoins which seems legit.

    My question being though, the only amounts for sale on there are 10k plus.

    I only want to buy around £500 a month.

    Are there any methods you could recommend that don't require me to send photos of my ID?

    Thankyou kindly.

    To the people struggling with splitting coins - just turn on CashFusion!

    Posted: 18 Nov 2020 08:25 AM PST

    People are already fusing split coins. Most of the fusion transactions are not replayable on BCHA chain. It's the easiest and the most private method or splitting coins.

    And if you have already split your coins, help others split by turning on Fusion!

    Discover how To get involved and win (Bitcoin Cash) prizes at CoinParty2020 hackathon!

    Posted: 18 Nov 2020 06:55 AM PST

    ​

    It's time to announce more exciting details about our upcoming CoinParty2020 hackathon!

    After that smooth and silky upgrade we just had, we've got the wind on our backs. So let's use this momentum in the community to get as many amazing projects built on Bitcoin Cash as we can!

    ​

    Let's get this party started!

    Let's Go Over The Juicy Details

    The hackathon will kick-off on Wednesday December 2nd with a virtual opening ceremony. We hope you all join in with the celebrations. There will be time from now until then to start bouncing around ideas and build strong teams. This will give you plenty of time so you are ready to put rubber to the road when we get started. On December 9th, the judges will be going over all the project presentations and will then decide which teams get which prizes. Go check out the CoinParty.org to see all the big prizes that you can win by entering!

    We also have a very unique community prize which we will be announcing the exact details of tomorrow, so make sure you keep an eye out!

    Awesome People

    We now have our full set of talented Judges, technical advisors and hosts for the event. They are all long-time Bitcoin Cash supporters who have done endless amounts to drive our ecosystem forward. We are extremely proud to be supported by such a great bunch of people! Thank you all for providing support to this exciting event!

    You see all who these awesome people are at coinparty.org/#people

    Great Partners

    We have partnered with General Protocols and Satoshi's Angels to provide the hackathon teams with the technical support and resources they need to create and promote top-notch products and services. A big thank you to them both for their support.

    For any other BCH-friendly companies or organisations out there that want to support this event, just get in touch with us asap.

    Flipstarterlicious

    Tomorrow we will also be launching a Flipstarter to expand the prize pool for our hackers. Because all the admin costs and a good sized prize pool has already been provided by BU, the hackathon will go ahead regardless, but this prize pool will be used to make the prize pot even more enticing for people to come and build on Bitcoin Cash.

    Part of the funding will also go towards providing a small bursary to each team that completes the hackathon. A lot of people can be put off by the risk of spending a week of hard work without anything to show for it at the end, so this small bursary will go towards showing appreciation to all the teams.To see the exact details of the Flipstarter campaign you will have to wait a little bit longer. It will be worth the wait, we promise!

    For further details, and more importantly...to sign up, go to coinparty.org

    Let's Go!

    If you want to help out Bitcoin Cash, please go and share this anywhere you can. Especially with any developers you know. We've already got over 25 people signed up. Help us get over 100!

    Let's get this party started!
