I asked some [q's to pat already](https://t.me/bchbuilders/22584), I think the conversation will be useful to anyone wondering how it works. Think of IPFS as one huge Torrent, and pinning as seeding some file(s) in the Torrent.
>only pin services guarantee the file availability. replicated files are not pinned and drop off the peer network gradually
>pin services are paid services
>>so pinning is like paying someone to seed my torrent
>yes, with guaranteed uptime
>>and the someone will have his load reduced because p2p network will replicate content that's often requested
>kind of. there is no "load" on network in fact. there is some load on gateways
>for example. you will not get any ipfs files from my gateway ipfs.pat.mn other than ones which were uploaded over ipfs-bch.pat.mn. Files can be separated in their shards in p2p network
>if I would host a general purpose ipfs node, its disk size would grow to gigabytes in minutes
>>I meant load on you- your machine that does the pinning
>yes, this is why the preferred way to request these files is not over my gateway, but over other public gateways. this will keep the popularity high and will not allow these files to decay off the network
>from my observation 3-5 requests (even from the same ip) is enough for a CID to be available over dweb or ipfs.io
>because first time you ask for an unknown CID from a dweb it will go out to p2p network asking for this CID (because it does not have it). this request will time out with 504. but after 5-10 minutes it will be returned nicely with 200. because my node will advertise this CID and file will slowly be relayed to dweb nodes known to its gateway
and few questions asked by Tom:
>>so, then you don't need to pin. Just have a little app that requests the thing from lots of gateways.
>if I will not pin, this file will decay off my node. so might it decay from other nodes, with _eventual_ complete decay
>but your logic is very valid for very popular files
>these will be BCMR registries for popular tokens
>because there will be hundreds of CID requests per day
>>bcmr files will likely be copied to centralized (trustded) registries.
For instance phone wallets won't access IPFS.
>however! historical BCMR CIDs will decay away, if not pinned
>this is why I in fact enforce pinning on my node, and do not rely on the popularity assumption
>>the positive is that since its only useful for not-often-uploaded files, and hard drive is hella cheap, I expect pinning to be like 1 cent per MB or so.
>there are public pinning services around, google has them. you can quote pricing there

People view BTC as the best store of value for cryptos. If they're trying to protect their value due to instability in the banking system, that's where they'll put it.
If BCH has it's time to shine, it'll be utility based if/when the bankers roll out their CBDC and people need an alternative for day to day transactions.

He literally said himself he has no access to those funds, all he had was some fairytale explanation called "Tulip Trust".
Edit: the whole point of his silly posturing is to try and convince courts he's Satoshi so he can force miners to do a 51% to transfer Satoshi's coins to him.
One of the things they did with Taproot was storing less of the transaction data on the block, instead moving it to the VM nodes. So the transactions themselves are not a burden on the block, they take up the same amount of block space as a regular transaction.
So the burden is now on the nodes rather than the miners. But yes, you are right, it could lead to a situation similar to BSV. While Taproot is optional and does bring a lot of benefits to BTC, I believe most nodes will reject it.
Read.cash article re General Protocols sponsorships: https://read.cash/@GeneralProtocols/general-protocols-sponsorship-for-q1-2023-a5902ff8
Maxwell is claiming that since old clients view soft-forked blocks as valid, then whatever behavior the soft fork enables must perforce be something that was already permitted by the system.
His statement incorrectly implies that whatever behavior enabled by the soft fork was behavior that was anticipated / desired by the previous versions of the software.
Which of course is untrue. Nobody built the Bitcoin client with the line of code that explicitly rejects blocks larger than 1MB thinking "that's great, once we reengineer Bitcoin to put the witness data in some other data container then what's left over will be under 1 MB." That's absurd. That was never the intent of the original system. Declaring otherwise is simply gaslighting.
Viewed correctly, a contentious soft fork is an [exploit against the system](https://read.cash/@Jessquit/your-full-node-is-impotent-ea878216), coercing old nodes to follow a chain which breaks the rules enforced by the client. In the case of Segwit, for example, old nodes that reject blocks larger than 1MB follow a chain of blocks that are larger than 1MB, in clear violation of the rules. To accomplish this, old clients are fed blocks that have the witness data removed. They don't know how to validate that data, so they don't even receive it or store it.
Imagine thinking you're validating the Bitcoin blockchain when in reality you're being fed incomplete blocks which the rest of the network considers invalid (missing signatures). Sounds like an exploit to me.
This is a great writeup. You really nailed it.
It's true that by convention, we use the term "soft" fork to refer to a change of consensus rules that makes previously-valid blocks invalid; and "hard" fork to refer to a change that makes previously invalid blocks valid.
But you're 100% right that this can be just a technical sleight-of-hand. [Peter Todd explained](https://petertodd.org/2016/forced-soft-forks) how you can change *any* consensus rule in *any* way and make it a "soft fork."
In [my article](https://read.cash/@Jessquit/your-full-node-is-impotent-ea878216) I explain how a controversial soft fork is indistinguishable from an exploit: you can be running software that says that blocks must be <1 MB and yet it will follow a chain of 1.7MB blocks.

> if there is no competition for block space, there will be no transaction fees
By the way that's just wrong. Bitcoin always had fees. They were never zero except in the very earliest days when there were literally no transactions at all. By 2011 all blocks earned fees.
The question is, can miners earn more money mining 3000 txns max or mining 300,000 or 3M txns.
You guys bet on this scenario: 3000 txns paying *on average* $50 in fees *per txn*. That's just to maintain current levels of security of about $150K/block.
I mean, I think it would be neat to earn $50 by doing something that other people will do for $0.005. but I wouldn't build a business model around it. At that cost, it's going to take a lot of hired trolls to keep convincing people to use your chain.
The way Bitcoin was supposed to work is at scale: millions of transactions paying a tiny fee. Same security, because the cost to reverse a block is still the same. But this business model is actually competitive, because you aren't asking people to pay a ridiculous fee.
That's how Bitcoin was supposed to work. Satoshi was super clear, high volume or bust:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=48.msg329#msg329
> I'm sure that in 20 years there will either be very large transaction volume or no volume

Bitcoin *does not work* with a low-volume, high-fee design. It will fail, 100%, due to math.
Does anyone happen to know if BCH will still be operating on the [noise.app](https://noise.app) network, just like it did on [noise.cash](https://noise.cash) ? I was using [noise.cash](https://noise.cash) a few months after it's birth, and initially it was great - the BCH available was quite significant, then I am not sure what exactly happened but the amount of BCH became extremally minimal - i.e from about $5 per post to around $0.05
Just wondering if anyone knew what went on there and if the [noise.app](https://noise.app) will return to the old days?
Thanks for doing that, we did notice that. That's pretty accurate lol.

Hey! We wrote a little about this back in November in the CashTokens seciton of this article:
[General Protocols Statement on CashTokens and P2SH32 CHIP Proposals for the May 2023 BCH Upgrade](https://read.cash/@GeneralProtocols/general-protocols-statement-on-cashtokens-and-p2sh32-chip-proposals-for-the-may-2023-bch-upgrade-c5248f65#cashtokens)
Let me copy-paste some sections. Does this cover the level of information you are looking for? We have many more plans, but I hesitate to get too far into the future that we probably won't be able to deliver on by the upgrade date.
> General Protocol's current and planned product lineup are all P2SH-based smart contract derivatives that lock up BCH as backing. One difficulty we face is the fact that contracts are mostly static once formed. Transferring ownership of contracts permissionlessly is necessary for liquid markets to form trading these contracts, which enables much more efficient service.
>
> As of 2022, transferability is possible with proper covenant setups. These setups, however, are both cumbersome - they consume significant space within unlocking scripts - as well as difficult to standardize, as wallets will need to recognize, integrate scripting libraries and support each new contract in order to transfer and trade them.
>
> With the CashTokens proposal, the contracts themselves do not need to be transferred, but can instead pay out to non-fungible tokens that can themselves be transferred. Wallets can be configured to support sending and receiving NFTs with minimal effort, and in one step enable transferability of all future contract permutations.
I can understand the frustration with documentation and tooling being so far behind other ecosystems. Right now, CashTokens development work is primarily for developers who are willing to build an understanding mostly from the [specification](https://github.com/bitjson/cashtokens), related discussions ([GitHub issues](https://github.com/bitjson/cashtokens/issues), [telegram group](https://t.me/cashtoken_devs)), and experimentation. It will likely take some time before we catch up with other ecosystems in beginner-friendliness – if you're the kind of person who is good at writing introductory guides and working on simple examples, there's a big opportunity to create these resources right now!
On using CashTokens to develop decentralized applications: have you gotten to review the [technical details section](https://github.com/bitjson/jedex#technical-details) of the Jedex documentation? It's very dense, but once you understand these concepts (and review the contract code to see them in practice), you'll start to get a sense for how BCH can support ETH contract use cases while retaining the low-fee, high-throughput, privacy, and MEV-resistant properties of BCH. I have yet to come across a use case available on ETH that I can't build with CashTokens, especially considering [trustless sidechain bridges](https://t.me/cashtoken_devs/3466). (See also: [when to use sidechains vs. automata](https://old.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/n3bysh/ama_im_jason_dreyzehner_author_of_pmv3_a_v3_tx/gwqy8d3/?context=10)).
I'm afraid I can't promise you either beginner-friendly documentation or tooling on any particular timeline; if you're interested in making that stuff happen, I'd love to help. I have a lot of development work planned before May, but I'll certainly try to answer questions as time permits (here, on Telegram, GitHub, or [on Twitter](https://twitter.com/bitjson)).

> I never understood the premise.
The premise is the old one where the claim is that it is too hard to understand or too hard to trust the free market to balance out and come up with a size based on actual usage on one side and technical limitations on the other.
If you don't trust the market to set the blocksize, you come up with an algorithm to set it for the miners.
Naturally, we've been through this dance. From bip [100](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0101.mediawiki) and [101](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0100.mediawiki) in 2015 to the actual 2017 Bitcoin Cash hardfork. We have seen the [arguments](https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/gavin-andresen-explains-why-he-prefers-bip-over-bip-1449506700) for centralized control and software defined allowed growth.
They all claim that the control is in the hands of the miners, without actually allowing the miners to directly control it. For some reason claiming that this is too dangerous and never explaining how.
Its tiring to have the same conversation 8 years in a row without the other side adding any new information to the table. Just the same fears and lack of understanding of the free market.
I wrote a CHIP a little while ago which seems to have helped build a greater understanding of how a free market can actually work safely. Where the producers of blockspace are in charge of the quotas directly. With an indication of what information is needed for those miners to be able to decide a certain size is safe for the wider ecosystem that needs to also parse those blocks.

Ive keep longing Bitcoin Cash. And I will keep doing that. Ive seen a lot of upwards to come.
I don't bother looking at price at times. Although, I trade mostly om exchanges that give traders bonus or make events for traders to win prizes. Such as MEXC Global Futures trading event.

hi, you can ask here: [https://t.me/bchchannel](https://t.me/bchchannel) or here [https://t.me/bchbuilders](https://t.me/bchbuilders) too
You mean when Coinflex exit scammed BCH investors. That’s different from holders. They had all their coins with a centralized entity, so they weren’t really holding anything.
But yes, the “stolen goods” market is a thing. Definitely sucks.
CZ is on the ropes.

It seems I struck a nerve. Just got permanently banned from r/cc. This OP got quite a few (*too many?*) upvotes in a very short time: https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/106uurw/binance_has_been_caught_naked_shorting_monero/
#Binance has been caught naked shorting Monero again
> All eyes are on Binance these days. It is an open secret that Binance operates with very little reserves for Monero. To prove this people created a down time tracker for Monero withdrawals https://moneroj.net/withdrawals/ - so that it becomes possible to correlate price movements and availability of reserves.
>
> Following a strong upwards move /outbreak today we have seen a couple of huge (naked) sells around ~30k on XMRUSDT on Binance and unsurprisingly shortly after this withdrawals got shut down.
>
> Binance manipulation tactics are easily explained. They worked so well tor so long that I think they are blind for when they stop working. Any big player can call them out on it anytime they want. The information is out in the open and can easily be tracked.
>
> They operate on very little reserves - let's say 10k of Monero. Their daily inflow from deposits is probably around the same size as well as the outflow. If they need to dump the price they close withdrawals and suddenly the inflow is still 10k while the outflow is 0. Those 10k (customer funds) can now be sold on the market amplifying whatever numbers Binance wants to print to paint a favorable chart pattern (rejection). Of course this creates a huge problem if price goes in the other direction (up). But as we have seen before, exchanges just need to declare an *inside job* hack/bankruptcy in such a scenario. Take care. Exchanges will only look after themselves and their own survival.

I have said it's an attack vector. I did \*not\* say I have a fool-proof way to exploit it.
You do know the difference, do you?
Look, I'm not exactly the first person to notice that the duality of the checkpoint mechanism (if the "honest chain" has checkpoints, then the "other chain" can also have them) might cause some havoc. Maybe not monetary gain, more havoc.
See i.e. https://blog.bitmex.com/bitcoin-cash-abcs-rolling-10-block-checkpoints/
My statement stands: The checkpoints solves some issues, but introduces others.
There \*is\* an increased risk in competing chains, especially nodes that have been offline or syncing for the first time will be vulnerable should there be a competing chain. It doesn't even have to be longer, the checkpoints mean a syncing node would happily discard a longer chain if it conflicts with a checkpoint he has accepted.
Of course it will be known which chain is the good chain, and of course it will be possible to be resolved manually, but there is increased trust in there being "a good side with a known good checkpoint". And there is a risk, should your node be offline for a while, that it follows "the wrong" chain.
It will not succeed as such. We agree on that.
But the \*reason\* it won't succeed is BCH have checkpoints.
But there is a worst cause scenario: A hard fork.
Now, stop and think a bit. The competing chain will \*also\* have checkpoints. There's nothing but a manual declaration that "this is the correct chain" that will save the day. It will happen, of course. But it \*is\* trust, and in a trustless system, having to trust that someone will do the right thing is bad.
Worst case, it won't be so clear which of the two competing chains is the correct one. Granted, there'd likely have to be a network outage of a large scale for that to happen naturally, but it \*could\*. BCHs DAA will also make so that the two parts adjust and produce the required blocks much quiicker - even if one of them should be much smaller than the other.
Now, compared this to BTC. BTCs hash rate is \*much higher\* due to the hash rate being higher. This is, of course, mainly because the price is higher, but a small bit of it is also because there's more fees to pay for the security.
So, it's not that there will be a catastrophic event. It's just that BCH, ultimately, is less of a trustless system than BTC. And you know what camp I belong to: It's the security and trustlessness that is valuable and not to be sacrificed, not it's ability to compete with FIAT on speed and capacity.
In BTC, should such an event happen, there \*would\* be turmoil. But my bet is that the longest chain will win, because that's what the whitepaper says it should, and that's the design of it.
SegWit is technically just another fork of Bitcoin.
You know BU launched their Nexa coin, a code-fork of BCH with all the stuff they wanted put on top of it. The PoW requires Schnorr sigops, it's heavy on EC mul, and each "hash" for the PoW runs an EC mul ([open source miner](https://gitlab.com/gandrewstone/nexa-nvidia-miner)). Well, I've been following it, even mined a nice bag during CPU era, but then GPUs came online and made the difficulty go ballistic, and people reported their numbers and they are - a [3090 does 60MH/s](https://t.me/nexacoin/25310). The network now does 1200GH/s, that's a lot of GPUs, maybe someone's already got a FPGA design - a FPGA that can run Schnorr sig primitives, all "crowdfunded" by Nexa PoW.
It seems that way. Move numbers around to create the illusion of meaningful things happening.
Check out these two reports;

Yes! Sayoshi did a large write up on how we want to do it with BCH.do [here](https://read.cash/@SayoshiNakamario/bchdo-23dd53eb) hopefully we can do this on cash tokens.
Creating a way to fund people slowly, making sure those who funded can vote to release the funds as time goes on and they are delivering, etc. Find a way to make "employees" of BCH.
Flip starter is great for some projects, worse for others. It was great when it happened, but as time goes on new needs happen.
BCH is also getting to a growable state without constant attacks, so we learn as we go!

During their "[Mythbusting](https://read.cash/@SofiaCBCH/mythbusting-2021-world-challenge-0e3e462b)" contest they promised to provide winners with 6 Satochip wallets generously provided by Satochip.
One of the contest winners contacted me and said they never got their wallet prize and was ignored by Sofia when asked about it.
I do not know Bastien (the co-founder of Satochip) well but have talked to him a few times over the years and asked him about the wallets they agreed to provide as sponsor to the Mythbusting contest https://imgur.com/a/Eu6vNxb
He gave me permission to post the above. He was never instructed what to do with the prizes.
If there's two competing chains, each with their own 10 block checkpoint that says "their\* 10+ blocks is the correct chain - then you very much still might have to decide which of those correct chains you believe is correct.
I, in fact, believe that if such an event actually happened, it's a guaranteed and automatic hard fork. Unless everyone trusts one side, but then - what's the value of POW if you're gonna trust "one side" in the end anyhow?
Oh, I am pretty sure it will work, for varying degrees of working. Also centralized payment solutions work, but we are here because we fully recognize there is value in alternative solutions.
But the reason it is bad is part of the things we have disagreed about earlier, namely what the \*value\* of bitcoin is.
To BCH proponents, it's all about making the user experience as easy as possible, to allow as many transaction as possible, and to compete with FIAT-based methods in the space that FIAT excels.
I - and many others - believe those things are secondary. The value of BTC lies in the trustlessness, and every bit of thing that makes bitcoin a tiny bit less trustless is intrinsically bad. If you need to do something less trustless \*with\* bitcoin - like keeping it for storafe on an exchange - that's a personal choice. Bitcoin in itself \*should\* be maximized for security and trustlessness.
And that's why anything that removes trustlessness is inherently bad.
Unless it's optional. (It may still be bad, but then everyone can choose their own level of trustlessness). The role of the blockchain is to maximize security and trustlessness, anything that takes away that doesn't belong in the main chain.
Hex is a smart contract erc20 token on ethereum .you stake your coins by locking your coins between 1 and 5555 days. The longer you lock , the more interest you recieve.
Most platforms where you earn yeild do have admin keys, hex doesn't as its immutable and not controlled by a third party, it's just you and the contract.
[HEX is kind of a scam](https://read.cash/@scottcbusiness/why-i-sold-all-my-hex-8b609671) so I'd probably stay away from it.
well, yes. Technically you are correct.
But on BTC, that has a hashrate that is more than 100 times what BCH has, such an attack is extremely expensive. The security of bitcoin lies in POW, not in external entities agreeing on what the correct history is. This is also the reason a lot of valuable transactions require 6 confirmations: A 6 block rollback on BTC is extremely expensive to perform.
The manual checkpointing that exists in BTC is more for a new node/client to be notified that "ok, assume anything up to this is valid transactions, no need to verify those". In BCH, it's meant as a protection against POW attacks. Those are two very different things.
A 10 block reorg of BTC would be an extreme economic attack on bitcoin. You are right, it technically \*could\* be done, but it would be costly. You'd better make sure it's worth it.
Calculations a few years back, you can find here. Numbers are a bit different now, of course, but the table is here [https://braiins.com/blog/how-much-would-it-cost-to-51-attack-bitcoin](https://braiins.com/blog/how-much-would-it-cost-to-51-attack-bitcoin) and shows that it would be difficult to come up with the hash power to perform a 1 hour (or 6 block) reorg attack on BTC, on BCH it's be something a dedicated and well-off single person could "easily" do. Hence, POW matters, and the 10-block reorg protection is a totally different thing than the occational checkpoints that exists on BTC.
The 10-block reorg basically makes requirement of >10 confirmations for a transaction redundant, because an 11 block reorg would \*automatically\* lead to a manual decision on which chain is the correct and true BCH. A 10 block reorg on BTC, on the other hand, would not. I'll not really dispute that a 10-block reorg on BTC would be an event of such magnitude that a manual intervention will be called for (should it be "obvious" who is the attacker or who isn't), though.
I have tried to keep this writeup as objective as possible, even if you \*do\* know which camp I belong in :) I was merely pointing out that there does indeed exist a consensus mechanism that means users of BCH trust that upon an attack, "the right people will do the correct thing". It's not admin keys, but it is sort of reduced trustlessness, because it adds some trust in "the good guys".
It doesn't have admin keys, but it does have rolling checkpoints.
Should BCH get to a point where there is an 11 block reorg, there would 100% have to be a manual decision about which chain is the correct one. Remember, both chains can have a 10 block rolling checkpoint, so which one is the correct one?
It is a general consensus among BCH people that it would be obvious which chain is the correct one, should it happen, but it does break a little bit with the "longest chain is valid" rule.
No, that's not it. (I didn't want him to have to sterilize his frozen food packages with bleach to prevent his family during from COVID /s)
I felt generous after benefiting from CGMiner, and while I always thought Luke was an asshole, I felt compelled to give him some credit.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=140237.0 Luke is a fraud.
In addition, when Luke ran a mining pool, he used his customer's hashrate to Ddos other coins for religious reasons. Total unacceptable and immoral behaviour.
This is not an endorsement but AFAIK it's solid tech, although it's not risk free. My due diligence starts here, I did a Q&A with one Thorchain enthusiast: https://t.me/bchchannel/275692
The Core Developers pulled an [elaborate Bait and Switch \(I describe here\)](https://old.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/yxnb7d/hayden_otto_statement_on_bitcoincashcitycom/j35rf8o/?context=3) to retain the ticker: despite pursuing their unpopular "soft fork only" upgrade path.
Who it backing them is a little murkier. There is evidence that the [CIA funded the "keep Bitcoin Free" 1MB block propaganda video](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=335658.msg3607415#msg3607415). Ironically, Mircea Popescu took up the "small block" mantle railing against the Core Developers as USG (United States Government) agents. (Kind or reminds me of how BSV seems like a parody of BCH -- "they" are playing both sides.)
Bank funding of Blockstream can be explained as a way to keep Bitcoin a small niche hobbiest project for as long as possible. The current network has 1/100th the transaction capacity of the specialized SWIFT network. So BTC does not even have the ability to work as a "reserve" currency.
> Good question, enjoy my upvote.
Thank you. And thank you for the reply.
> BSV has effectively removed the anti-DoS limiter and massively increased allowable txn sizes. This allows the blockchain to be used to store arbitrarily-large blobs of data. Since storing arbitrarily-large blobs of data is indistinguishable from the exact sort of DoS attack the limiter existed to prevent in the first place, the net result is that BSV has DoSed itself with dog photos and weather data.
>
> BCH maintained the original scaling plan of regular increases to the DoS limiter based on software performance on reasonable hardware and txn sizes limited to what is needed in order to implement the money system. This has allowed BCH to continue to offer "P2P cash" transactions at scale.
Do the dog photo and weather data transactions matter when:
* The transaction carries a fee and miners are free to process whichever transactions they choose to
* Disk space is not an issue, as per section 7 of the white paper: *"Reclaiming Disk Space"*
It used to be said (counter to the cries of Core during the Blocksize War) that if someone is willing to pay a fee for a transaction then it's not spam.
Might also prompt the question as to why `OP_PUSHDATA4` is present and permits a 4.3GB transaction.
> As regards Satoshi's original v0.1 release, that's kind of a moot point, since that release doesn't enjoy any special position of authority. Satoshi himself made many extremely significant changes to the v0.1 release, including adding the anti-DoS limiter and changing the way pow is measured to not necessarily follow the "longest chain."
That was a reference to what [Satoshi had written in 2010](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195.msg1611#msg1611).
Since Cobra was talking about the divergence of the implementation from the white paper, it provoked the question of how each implementation has evolved from the version 0.1 release.

Join The Fun!
The CHIP proposal is about 2 specific properties. You can call them both limits, but since they are two very different ones you would just confuse yourself with them. One is the `blocksize-accept-limit`. The other is the `max-blocksize`.
If you have been mixing those two properties, no wonder you are confused.
Please check out the CHIP and re-read the description for the two properties this is about. They are not to be conflated into one. [link](https://read.cash/@TomZ/chip-blockgrowth-ensuring-safe-permissionless-block-growth-762bc175#benefits)
Is it not the end users who get to decide what the 'real' Bitcoin is BTC or BCH ?
This is the 2nd of 6 deliverables promised for [the Flipstarter](https://bafybeid3menvwahivk7hnnpmf3wi6maqwwrtzp24ayp6uy4f5my2lzhepm.ipfs.beta.anyonecanpay.me/). The 43 BCH received from 18 incredible contributors will go directly toward the expenses as outlined in the campaign description. It's incredible to have the community support, and so I am happy to deliver immediately after reaching the fundraising goal.
All campaign updates will be published on my own subreddit /r/nudgetravel, and you should follow on [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@nudgetravel) or [Odysee](https://odysee.com/$/invite/@nudge) for the remaining two videos.
I'll also be announcing a Twitter Space next week with Joemar Taganna to answer any questions you may have about their merchant adoption efforts. (including plans for 2023)
This content is all about celebrating a new market for Bitcoin Cash adoption, and I'm excited to finally share the story with you. Hopefully you an learn something and spread BCH where you live!
If you weren't able to pledge and still want to show your appreciation, you can do so at [tipb.ch/nudge](https://tipb.ch/nudge)
Until the fbi takes ur money then it’s a problem???

CashTokens is a 5+ year research project come to fruition. Its a bunch of small ideas that when put together are massively powerful
Comparing it to SLP or older tokens is ignoring most of the value.
Comparing it to EVM misses that cashtokens scales.

Campaign URL: https://flipstarter.opreturn.me/en
About $10k to BTC in 2013 --> Now all in on BCH since 2018 with about $2k BCH, and maybe a little XMR just in case.
[Paytaca had a Flipstarter of their own which completed 7 months ago](https://flipstarter.paytaca.com/en) and [they were just featured in the Satoshi's Angels weekly newsletter, so this is very timely](https://read.cash/@SatoshisAngels/bch-weekly-news-111-december-19-2022-52fc757a). They are one if not the only group adding new Bitcoin Cash merchants in the Philippines. At no point do we advertise or make a call-to-action to download or use either the Paytaca Wallet or the POS software which is in beta. Its feature in the merchant videos is limited to the merchant terminal and the smartphone paying.
I act as on-the-ground verification of claims made about crypto adoption. This is why people [liked my videos in El Salvador where I exposed how many Salvadorans don't really want BTC and in fact a large selection of businesses are still cash only or outright stated that they do not accept Bitcoin](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyEWNx_cWHC6ZtMnxZpT6Q_TNkACCJLGK).
I am presenting the situation in a given place from skepticism as well as optimism, and I also do prior research to determine interesting signs of development, following news, and of course looking at several crypto merchant maps to see where I can spend my BCH. I actually travel on crypto vs HODL, so if I can't actually find places to spend my Bitcoin Cash, I generally won't travel somewhere. For the Philippines as with everywhere that I go, I booked my flights and hotels with crypto.
Regarding why I include transportation in my budget? It is a business necessity, as I need to actually be in the same place as local community and businesses instead of just holding a livestream or Twitter Space remotely. I am also a very experienced traveler, so what I'm able to do in reducing expenses translates in greater value per sat for Flipstarter donors. It seems like a lot, and to much of the world it is, but it is the bare minimum required for a researcher like myself that doesn't always have the fortune of being near to the points of interest. At a very rough estimate it's about 20 hours door-to-door from my home in the United States to Manila in the Philippines, and more to Tacloban City where these videos were filmed.
This video was not shot on the same equipment that I filmed any of the project videos. There was an issue with humidity inside the lens of my main camera, and so I opted to use a smartphone. It is paired with the latest Rode wireless lavalier microphone, which I do use for other videos that I've shot. I believe a similar industry-standard DJI wireless lav was used for the interviews with Paytaca in an enclosed office.
I believe that I have identified the need for Bitcoin Cash adoption to be documented in my regular promotion of truly permission-less electronic cash. There are very few people doing this, and the interest in education and entertainment in daily crypto usage has never been higher. Also I've always been considerate of a handful of Flipstarters that were funded and didn't deliver, I think it is a very valuable service that I audit in some way to deliver closure. I've spoken privately to a few prominent 'BCH influencers' (for lack of a better word) previously because I wanted to be sure that I don't misrepresent my intentions or overpromise and underdeliver. I am detailed in how I document what I accomplish and when, and very accessible on Reddit and Twitter as you can see from my comment and tweet histories.
I understand that not everyone wants to follow this aspect of crypto news. I personally do not care about day trading and regularly block people on Twitter for sharing crazy price valuations, rug scams, and just spamming incessantly. I think for a traveler, it is valuable to know how well equipped a destination is to let them pay in their chosen coin. Also the Philippines represents a massive opportunity and use-case for Bitcoin Cash, particularly for remittances, since there is a larger population abroad of Overseas Filipino Workers than even in the Philippines itself. I'm interested in visiting all different places in different stages of developing their own parallel economies to delegitimize fiat money, including at some point in the coming year those denouncing CBDCs.
As I summarized in the campaign, this is only the first project in a series that I plan to complete in the first half of this year. Being upfront as I am now hopefully gives you more confidence. Will this be a campaign that you support? My reputation hinges on actually delivering, and doing so shortly after the Flipstarter is funded. In a market where many people are afraid of crypto, it's important that we not only show people that we're still spending ours as intended, but as Paytaca said today, [that we patronize those businesses who give this technology a chance](https://twitter.com/_paytaca_/status/1607190516676059136). I hammer the importance of local merchant onboarding, not just here in the Philippines, but in your own neighborhoods. This can be done anywhere with the determination to separate yourself from the centralized banking system, as well as educate to properly equip businesses for success.
