The updating of bitcoin cash BCH

[densuj]

an individual posted a live stream on the Twitch Interactive video platform to show the world how Bitcoin Cash (BCH) proponents can instantly feed his chickens online using zero-confirmation transactions. Since the stream kicked off, people have processed over $300 worth of BCH transactions to feed the fowl. BCH enthusiast Spencer Lambert told the public how they can feed his chickens using BCH and watch them get fed in real time on a Twitch live stream channel. To feed Lambert’s chickens, users simply need to send $0.50 worth of BCH to the coop’s address. After the money is sent, a cryptocurrency-powered dispenser flips a switch and pours out mealworms. https://m.twitch.tv/redpepper261

The number of market participants supporting Bitcoin Cash is growing. Imagine how after a while the price will rise to the current BTC rate.

Six of the top 10 crypto top Exchange bitcoin cash trading volumes (BCH) have announced plans to support the upcoming cryptocurrency hard on November 15.

The Bitcoin Cash roadmap includes upgrades to its core code every six months, but disagreement over some changes to the network has increased the specter that two different branches of the cryptocurrency can form, given that two implementations - Bitcoin ABC and Bitcoin SV - are being put forward with competing teams . Although the results are not clear, one scenario will see two separate cryptocurrency appearing from Hard Fork.

Because the user will automatically receive the number of new coins equal to the amount stored in the BCH, it is important that their exchange be prepared for the event and will later allocate the new token.

A number of exchanges have now clarified their position in the event of a split, with OKEx, Binance, Bitforex and Huobi all stating that they will "support hard fork." Poloniex, a rank 51 exchange for BCH, stated more explicitly that "it is ready to support the trading market for both tokens."

Coinbase is more reserved, saying it will support the current roadmap, but adds:

In preparation for the event, most exchanges have said they will suspend bitcoin cash withdrawals and deposits immediately before HF to ensure customer funds are not at risk due to instability of the post-HF network (s). Users must be careful not to deposit BCH during this period in such cases.

And it's not just an exchange that has to make a decision on the potential for the creation of new coins. The French-based hardware wallet maker Ledger said that, if the HF results were blocked by a separate bitcoin cash, "finally, one of these will be the dominant chain, which we will evaluate to support it again."

It should be noted that Bitmex recently launched an HF monitor for bitcoin and bitcoin cash. BCH hard fork will begin on November 15 around 17:00 UTC.

According to global statistics provided by Coinatmradar.com, there are now close to 4,000 cryptocurrency automated teller machines (ATMs). Moreover, there’s been a huge influx of bitcoin cash ATMs over the past year as there are now 1,200 BCH dispensing devices located around the world.

In  November, data from Coinatmradar.com shows the metric will likely reach 4,000 ATMs very soon as the current number of ATMs is 3,993 machines worldwide. Additionally, there are 141,000 ATM-like services that sell cryptocurrencies through mobile payment terminals, vouchers, and even traditional bank ATMs. 1,200 machines out of the world’s 4,000 units allow users to purchase and sell the decentralized currency bitcoin cash.

I  think   all are welcome to join the Bitcoin Cash community as we move forward in creating sound money accessible to the whole world. The future shines brightly with unrestricted growth, global adoption, permissionless innovation, and decentralized development.

Hello B-Casher!
I want to ask for this, because this project has many pros and cons in the world of cryptocurrency.

See how Roger Ver from Bitcoin Cash supports the AZBIt project as an advisor, is that true?

Bitcoin Cash Developers Launch Beta Version of Bchd Client Written in GolangThe Bitcoin Cash community has been introduced to a full node client written in the Golang (Go) programming language called Bchd. The new Golang implementation was originally built by Chris Pacia, the developer of the peer-to-peer marketplace Openbazaar. However, nine other developers stepped up and helped the programmer finish the beta release. Bchd is a fork of the Btcd protocol library and the client’s contributors have explained they waited until after the Nov. 15 fork to release the beta version. Even so, the developers ran the Bchd client throughout the upgrade and detailed that the implementation “operated incredibly smooth right through the fork.”

I don't know about this but the effects of the two sides' cracking from BitcoinCash made it all dump.
It's going to be chaotic and there are many people who speak out loud in the telegram group, what is BitcoinCash doing?

The Bchd developers who recently introduced a full node Bitcoin Cash client written in Go have also ported the neutrino backend to their codebase. For the first time, this gives BCH users access to the experimental wallet, which focuses on strong network-level privacy.

Network privacy refers to limiting the information that the wallet sends to its peers, as well as the servers to which it connects. “Prior to neutrino there was not a single lightweight wallet available on the market that does not disclose all the addresses in your wallet and your entire transaction history to a third party,” the Bchd team explained. Even when using Tor, it is technically possible for trading partners to link an individual to an address, they cautioned. However, neutrino utilizes a “client side filtering” approach, which enables wallets to avoid disclosing the addresses they contain to connected peers.

It’s been close to a week since the fork on Nov. 15 and the ongoing hash war has caused major debate and mixed emotions. According to Coin Dance statistics, https://cash.coin.dance/ there have been 852 blocks mined since the consensus rules changed and the ABC chain is six blocks ahead. Further, the owners of Coin Dance have deemed the ABC chain as the winner of the BCH name and now refer to the chain as Bitcoin Cash (BCH). Statistics also show that BCH has 44% more proof-of-work (PoW) than the BSV network. At the time of publication, both chains have roughly 4,000 PH/s or 4 exahash worth of hashrate apiece. However, this metric has fluctuated wildly and the averages are harder to gauge over a short period of time.

It's interesting, as now from Coin Dance, last I checked at least, BCH and BSV were neck and neck on hash rate and block height, while ABC (& co) somewhat ahead on POW. But now it seems that since CMC listed ABC as BCH then nobody cares about the hash war anymore, apart from Craig and Rodger I think.

Bitcoin Cash development has grown significantly since the hard fork last May, which increased the block size and added new opcodes. One initiative that has made its debut this year is the Bitcoinfiles.com project developed by the BCH programmers James Cramer, Attila Aros, and Hapticpilot. The file-sharing platform allows anyone to upload media files backed by the IPFS protocol and the Bitcoin Cash blockchain. These features add a thick layer of censorship-resistance to content uploads as the files become a permanent fixture on the open web.
BCH developer Chris Troutner detailed on Twitter how excited he was to see the Bitcoin Files project integrate the IPFS protocol. While explaining the process, Troutner confirmed that “uploads are working and downloads are on the way.” Additionally, the developer shared information about the file he uploaded as a test. The Bitcoin File URI led to a Bitdb network entry and the file is also accessible through the IPFS gateway. Troutner’s message further explained that the hash to retrieve the file is stored forever on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain.

maybe other Bitcoin Cash wallet clients will have a protocol level change that is incompatible with Bitcoin ABC, which is a BCH wallet that is currently installed by default and recent events show that planned hard fork upgrades to Bitcoin Cash can be debated

[densuj]

the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) community has been talking fervently about zero-confirmation transactions and a new pre-consensus mechanism called Avalanche. On Monday, Openbazaar developer Chris Pacia published a comprehensive description of the pre-consensus protocol that could theoretically bolster secure zero-confirmation BCH transactions.
Avalanche is a new consensus protocol that was first introduced earlier this year — It provides a novel way for nodes on a network to choose between two conflicting transactions and come to a consensus about which one should be included in the next block,” explained Pacia.

Openbazaar and Bchd developer, Chris Pacia, revealed a new Bchd project feature currently in the making that would allow for Bitcoin Cash-based bi-directional payment channels. Moreover, in contrast to the Lightning Network, the Bchd developers explained that the team has created an overlay network based on the Inter-Planetary File System (IPFS).
The Bchd developer Chris Pacia has published a Medium post explaining a new bi-directional payment channel protocol for the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) network which they hope will be complete by early next year. https://medium.com/@bchd.cash/bitcoin-cash-overlay-network-22160011f7ee it is good progress of bitcoin cash
