Even with a much smaller name XRP is competing with BTC in google searches. XRP can do everything BTC can do, but BTC can’t do everything XRP can do

GENIUS and CLARITY bills back on track. 1 will kill tether and make audited stablecoins the only option. The other makes cryptos such as BCH clearly non-securities and regulated as commodities by the CFTC rather than the SEC, cleaning up legacy laws made before crypto existed.

> Then you risk getting tainted coin
All digital. BTC in, then XMR/BCH CashFusion for fungibility, than non-KYC fiat out, say, to a card. No need to go anywhere, share personal information with anyone, no need to think about metal logistics. Way less single points of failure than with any metal
Even losing devices with hard drives to a fire or a thief would be just a marginal cost
A lot of upside vs fungibility risk if operated properly
> I use gold as payment with service like vercash/glint money
Never heard of either. Never seen a melting/cutting service on a street, only pawnshops. Often sketchy ones. I live in a city way outside US

It's not altruistic if you're interested in keeping your own money safe. It's a more direct fee but a very cheap one as it doesn't increase with usage.
I mean sure BCH can scale and I'd argue the consensus model needs smart contracts, cash tokens, NFTs and whatnot to keep miners' lights on. As a user I much prefer an old laptop in the corner of my room keeping a global money network safe for cheap than relying on someone that can jump ship as soon as "smelly cat coin fart token" is ASIC compatible and hyped in meme coin subs. So the bet is that the next "smelly cat coin fart token" is using a cashtoken contract to keep miners in the game.
There's also the threat of governments tracking miners down and pools centralizing power over block templates. It's even worse for segwit as they buy huge warehouses and paint an orange bullseye so the feds know where to find them.
Monero doesn't have a similar problem because the miners can't peek inside the transactions anyways, the mining algorithm is ASIC resistant, and they decided a fixed inflation was enough to keep miners interested.
Again because miners are not users and don't care about the currency, they care about paying their bills, so the incentive is all wrong. Mining Monero here in Brasil at the current prices is worse then just buying it, for example.
Adoption is not about exchange volume, miners, and hype, it's about powering a parallel economy. In that front we are way behind compared to Monero despite its flaws (which Bitcoin shares with it).
Nano found its niche in third world countries. Monero found its niche in DNMs.

LTC and BCH directly compete with BTC for exactly the same niche, even being pretty much identical with minor differences, so it was natural that they would lose into the second wave. Something similar is going to happen to the other niches eventually, although the theses of VM and payment chains are not zero sum, so a small number of each may share the space going forward.

> someone will make a fork with the change
are you not aware of BCH & co?

Bullish for BCH!!!

Bigger blocks fix the symptom, not the cause. You still rely on enough tx volume to sustain miners. And you trade that for centralization and weaker network resilience. Ask BCH how that went.
Larger blocks increase capacity, but also push out small nodes and hurt decentralization. Bitcoin chose to scale with layers, not block size. Whether that's the right bet is still up for debate.

I will prefer to accept the ones that initially are supported by Bitcoin.com platform as we'll use this one for swaps into BCH. People use a lot of coins in Mozambique even privacy ones, I will accept them all as long I can manually convert them into BCH which is the main currency we will hold our reserves and current vault to pay for things. I hope I elucidated of not feel free to ask more questions and also make suggestions

For BTC a few transactions with very high fees are expected to pay the block reward.
For BCH millions of small fee transactions are expected to pay the block reward.

You're talking about when Roger Ver was trading massive amounts of BCH for BTC on the exchanges in 2017 in an attempt to make BCH worth more tha BTC and to amke it more profitable to mine BCH so that miners would mine BCH. It was an attempted bitcoin takeover that failed. One single BCH was worth 0.284585 BTC at the peak of that. Imagine trading 1 real bitcoin for 3.5 bcash.
Here is the BCH to BTC price chart: https://i.redd.it/nbm3twp0f6df1.png
The large spikes at the beginning of the chart is when Roger was trading all of that BCH for BTC.
[Bcash's hashrate just fluctuates between 0.10% and 1% of Bitcoin's hashrate.](https://fork.lol/pow/hashrate) Bcash only has only had 0.39% of Bitcoin's hashrate in the last 24 hours. And [there are currently only 592 bcash nodes running.](https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/nodes) Poor Roger.

CHAPA BCH Moçambique – Full Business Plan Now Live Launching BCH-powered transport in Maputo & Matola

Thank you to the development team and you for your work. Regarding the fact that Nano needs daily use to gain recognition... I have great doubts that such projects as XLM, DOGE, BCH are used daily by someone somewhere. There is no place to use it in my country, the only thing I do is buy it and withdraw it from the exchange if possible to protect my money from inflation.

Can someone please confirm i’m not going mad - i have 2 trades (out or around 20) which I think have been opened on eToro with opening price being way incorrect.
Clearly that can’t be the case but where am i getting this so wrong?
Note: i have other trades opened and all are ok.
Surely there wasn’t a glitch!?
Here are the trades - 2 purchases (opening buys)
1. BCH - bitcoin cash: bought on 27/12/2018 at 13:39 at an opening price of $2993.62
2. Dash: bought on 15/03/2020 at 11:58 at an opening price of $1115.13
Now.. according to coinmarketcap and other platforms online, the prices at the above days and times was actually approx:
1. BCH bitcoin cash = ~ $165
2. Dash = ~$47.50
Clearly i’m missing something and it’s not just a glitch i’ve discovered!?
Ive attached screenshots of the 2 buys if anyone can figure out what i’m reading wrong!?
I know there’s a GBP / USD conversion but that still doesn’t make sense.
TIA!

Rule: 6: Off-topic. This sub is for Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

Relying on business integrated full nodes for validation could work in a low stakes environment, but what happens when tx/s explodes? I’m not sure anyone running a node when the stakes are low will do enough business (in general or transact in XNO specifically) to justify those costs.
Yes BCH eventually needs fees from actual usage to sustain security. It’s not perfect but at the same time I’m skeptical of Nano’s altruistic node running and how it holds up at scale. Bitcoin is more battle tested in that regard but time will tell I guess.
BCH stays true to P2P electronic cash. Anyone not interested in CashTokens doesn’t have to use it, still works as low-fee cash. Want to build a vending machine and are only concerned with the P2P cash use case? Great! Don’t even have to be aware of CashTokens, what it is or how it works, just Bitcoin white paper knowledge will get you there. Meanwhile on BTC that doesn’t hold true anymore, there SegWit and Lightning, taproot etc. etc.
BCH has CashFusion for non-custodial mixing. I think it’s wise to have optional privacy seeing how Monero is treated. We’re nowhere near levels of crypto adoption to ditch exchanges anyway so Monero level privacy isn’t a priority as it’ll stifle adoption and we need all the adoption we can get.

> Fiat-Shamir is used in Bitcoin Cash for the signature algorithms. It is not used any other place in Bitcoin Cash (or the original Bitcoin for that matter).
Since I was surprised by this, I searched about it, and found this analysis:
[Analysis of Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 340
— Schnorr Signatures](https://courses.csail.mit.edu/6.857/2020/projects/4-Elbahrawy-Lovejoy-Ouyang-Perez.pdf) which mentions Fiat-Shamir (specifically also excludes ECDSA signatures)
Since BTC also implemented Schnorr signatures (after BCH), I would assume they also rely on F-S heuristic for Schnorr?

Hey! Appreciate the curiosity.
Our previous fundmeCash campaign actually **didn’t reach its funding goal**, so no funds were spent from that round.
This new campaign is a **refined version with a lower budget**, focused on supporting the final stage of the BCH Club Cup, which started with 16 teams and has become the biggest BCH-powered event in Cuba.
We are committed to transparency and grassroots adoption, and we are grateful for the support from the BCH community that keeps this alive.

It's never going to be workable. People are far better off using BCH and the rest than BTC + lightning.

The biggest impact tether had on the BCH ecosystem was as a talent sink.
iFinex had to pay someone with advanced expertise in Bitcoin Cash and SLP to maintain software just to process their transactions.
While there are much cooler things that can be done using on-chain validation and data carriers features of CashTokens, iFinex was able to pick off a fairly good dev by having them maintain SLP infrastructure for three years after SLP had died.
