    For some reason except this community and r/bitcoincash every other community is fanatically against bitcoin-cash as a developer I find that childish and unreasonable.

    For some reason except this community and r/bitcoincash every other community is fanatically against bitcoin-cash as a developer I find that childish and unreasonable.

    So as you all know I am a senior developer in arcane corporations who are going to add bitcoin cash in their multicurrency wallet (In case you don't know what I refer to I will drop a link below).

    The interesting part of the story I am about to describe lies in the critical differences between bitcoin - supporters and bitcoin cash - supporters respectively.

    So from a third point of view perspective it's crystal clear to me that the traditional bitcoin holders aren't interested in a decentralized peer to peer system at all.

    Now the reason I say this is: When our site-features page (this https://www.arcane-corporations.net/features) included only the improvement of lighting network & native currency management protocol, but not bitcoin cash, the mods of r/bitcoin were very positive towards us and extremely interested in the idea.

    Meanwhile, when we added the feature of adding bitcoin cash in our wallet, which already works much much better than the majority if not all the wallets they promote. This was their response.

    Additionally my thread there was taken down with the reasoning that "promotion of alt coin"

    To be neutral here, I understand that their side wouldn't want another coin/ company that promotes it to gain popularity and influence in a world where they have control on, which in this case is sustained by holders/ new bitcoin users.

    Additionally I believe it's crystal clear that at least their side isn't willing to negotiate anything in any shape or form, however I also believe that the whole conflict in the middle of the crypto-game is unbeneficial, unreasonable, and time wasting.

    Because to be fair, cryptocurrency already has many, many, problems, and if we were to unite the best from bitcoin cash + with the popularity of bitcoin, we could even rival bank systems.

    Yet that doesn't happen for moronic reasons, or occult-like mindsets. Isn't it time to do something about this? We're just scaring off new people.

    Edit: Many people from here have been very supportive of our idea, at least ideologically and emotionally, even if you don't have the skillset to assist in our development. Thank you for not dismissing us like they did.

    And always bear in mind that we're creating a software-wallet that proves that we're right!

    Stop wasting your money on BTC. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) transactions cost less than a penny.

    What are some marketplaces I can spend my BCH?

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 07:47 PM PST

    I'm wanting to start ordering stuff online with BCH. What are some of the best marketplaces so far for that?

    None of that buying a gift card then spend it, I was to directly spend my BCH.

    CoinParty Hackathon Shows How Bitcoin Cash Is Winning!

    Posted: 25 Jan 2021 12:41 PM PST

    The January 2021 CoinParty hackathon has come to an end and, with around 100 developers having put together over 30 Bitcoin Cash projects, Bitcoin Unlimited's goal of bringing new developers into the BCH ecosystem has already been a success. But it doesn't stop there! We're encouraging all teams to continue their work, either by establishing a business model or securing funding. With over $24,000 in prizes, our winning teams will, of course, already have some funds to work with.

    The event itself was hosted on DevPost, and we're delighted to say that many of our participants found CoinParty through that platform. The week began with our opening ceremony which you can see below.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1imk4oeVDEU

    Hackers then started meeting and coordinating in the Bitcoin Unlimited Slack channels. All participants were encouraged to team up, so that each project could be given the attention of multiple hackers with a diverse set of skills. After hackers' relevant skills were declared, ideas were brainstormed and teams were formed.

    All teams had access to our event Mentors, a group of experienced Bitcoin Cash developers who could help with technical questions and provide resources. Hackers were also welcome (and encouraged!) to work on existing projects, as long as they declared the state of the project before the hackathon started.

    As teams dug into their projects and planned out minimum viable products, we checked in with many of them to hear about what they were building, what tools they were using, and how it was going. You can watch these check-in interviews on YouTube below for a taste of what it's like to be halfway through a 1-week Bitcoin Cash hackathon. Our hackers had already brought an impressive number of interesting Bitcoin Cash ideas into existence!

    As the submission deadline grew closer, participants shifted gears from hacking to preparing their final presentations. The videos trickled in, slowly at first, each with a wave of support from fellow hackers. Between the impending deadlines, cooperative environment, and general excitement of building something totally new, CoinParty provided an inspirational atmosphere.

    You can see the awards ceremony on YouTube, but here's how things turned out!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt_On9ux5vQ

    Nakamoto Prize

    This $3000 prize went to Swap.Cash for their constant product market maker that automatically provides liquidity between BCH↔SLP pairs.

    An honorable mention went to Paytaca for their Bitcoin Cash wallet built to support offline transactions.

    User Focus prize

    This $3000 prize went to Tommy Gun's Coin Slot, which integrated Bitcoin Cash payments directly into the gaming experience on his Rust server.

    An honorable mention went to Splitseed, which implemented a scheme for backing up wallets non-custodially, but with a familiar account recovery mechanism.

    Party Animal prize

    This $3000 prize went to fridge.cash for their excellent attitudes and smart fridge design, which allows you to accept BCH payments, and then send a BCH transaction automatically when stock is depleted.

    An honorable mention went to CoinToys for their flagship product "FreeVibe", a vibrating sex toy that reacts to Bitcoin Cash payments.

    CoinParty AllStars prize

    This $8000 prize went to Geodrop.cash, a platform for dropping and claiming tokens at physical locations. (Think "Pokemon Go" with a real-world-rewards and advertising spin.)

    An honorable mention went to BitPal, a self-hosted BCH payment processor with double spend proof detection already implemented.

    BlockParty prize

    This $5000 prize was distributed to teams based on their share of the CoinParty Community Kudos voting tokens. Congrats to the top voted teams for capturing the hearts of the BCH community!

    Surprise Prizes

    Because of the exceptionally high quality of projects submitted for this hackathon, the judges created two new prizes to recognize more projects. The $500 Interoperability prize went to Slp-Ship, which allows you to wrap Bitcoin Cash SLP tokens on Ethereum, and the $500 Adoption prize went to OnlyCoins, a Bitcoin Cash enabled clone of OnlyFans.

    Bounties

    Emergent Reasons' bounty for a non-retail application was split between fridge.cash and CryptoScrum. Imaginary Username's bounty for projects that integrate with existing Bitcoin Cash infrastructure was split between BCH Market Bot and Slp-Ship.

    Bursaries

    And finally, all participants on a team that completed a project that met submission requirements were awarded with a $50 bursary as a thank you for participating, and developing on BCH. We hope you all continue your projects and look for support and/or business partners in the BCH ecosystem.

    Our Partners

    Thanks to our partners General Protocols and Satoshi's Angels, without whom this hackathon would not have been near the success it was. Thanks to all judges, mentors, and organizers for your time and effort. And thanks to the Bitcoin Cash community for being so welcoming and encouraging.

    Was CoinParty Successful?

    You bet! After the hackathon was over, we ran a survey to gauge our success, and gain insight into how we can improve future hackathons. Roughly half the participants responded.

    A few key insights:

    • 100% of the respondents said they would take part in the hackathon again in the future.
    • On the question 'How likely are you to recommend the CoinParty hackathon to someone else?', the average response was 6.8/7 (7 being 'Definitely').
    • 77% of respondents said they intend to continue to build upon their project and the 23% said they might do.
    • 94% of respondents said they will continue to be involved in the BCH community.

    We also received valuable feedback on what the hackers did and did not like about the hackathon. All of this info will be used to make the next CoinParty event even bigger and better. We're proud to say that this first event has already exceeded our expectations and targets, and we're excited to make CoinParty a Bitcoin Cash tradition.

    Thanks For Your Support

    CoinParty is brought to you by Bitcoin Unlimited. BU has been committed to scaling Bitcoin (now Bitcoin Cash) as peer to peer electronic cash for the world since 2015. You can learn more about the organization itself, our projects, and events like this one at bitcoinunlimited.info.
