Videos Bitcoin Cash Podcast #79: CashTokens Creation I joined the Bitcoin Cash Podcast to talk about the history behind CashTokens, Bitcoin Cash technical infrastructure, and directions for future development.
Ideas Comments on the 2023 Upgrade to Bitcoin Cash "Suddenly it was possible to build very efficient, UTXO-based decentralized applications while preserving important features of Bitcoin Cash: stateless transaction validation (low fees) and zero-delay re-spending (fast transactions)."
Ideas Bitcoin Cash Metadata Registries Bitcoin Cash Metadata Registries share metadata between Bitcoin Cash wallets, allowing user-recognizable names, descriptions, icons, ticker symbols, etc. to be associated with on-chain artifacts like identities, tokens, and contract systems.
Software Bitcoin Cash Upgrade 2023 Bitauth.com open source software will support four Cash Improvement Proposals (CHIPs) for the 2023 Bitcoin Cash Upgrade.
Software Jedex: Decentralized Exchanges on Bitcoin Cash Jedex is a technical demonstration of a massively-parallel, non-custodial, censorship-resistant decentralized exchange (DEX) built directly on Bitcoin Cash using CashTokens.
Videos Bitcoin Cash Upgrade 2022 Livestream I joined the Bitcoin Cash Upgrade 2022 Livestream hosted by Satoshi's Angels to answer questions and discuss new use cases made possible by the upgrade.
Videos BCH Network Discussion: May Upgrade and Beyond I joined the March 2022 BCH Network Discussion about the Cash Improvement Proposal (CHIP) process, May 2023 Upgrade, and potential future upgrades.
Ideas CashTokens: Token Primitives for Bitcoin Cash CashTokens enable decentralized applications comparable to Ethereum contract functionality, while retaining Bitcoin Cash's >1000x efficiency advantage in transaction and block validation.
Software Bitcoin Cash DNS Seeds Two new DNS seeds are now available for Bitcoin Cash:bch.bitjson.com for the main network and testnet4.bitjson.com for the test network. DNS seeds are web addresses included in Bitcoin Cash software to help new users find and join the peer-to-peer network. To test each seed, try
Software Bitcoin Cash Upgrade 2022 All Bitauth open source software – including Libauth, Bitauth IDE, and Chaingraph – will provide support for the 2022 Bitcoin Cash upgrade.
Chaingraph Chaingraph: Multi-Node Bitcoin Cash Indexer The first release of Chaingraph – a new, open source indexer and API backend for Bitcoin Cash apps and businesses – is now available.
Videos BCH Network Discussion: Introspection I joined the September 2021 Bitcoin Cash Network Discussion about introspection opcodes. These opcodes enable far more secure wallets, efficient recurring payments, and more.
Ideas CHIP: ZCEs – Instant, Secure Payments on Bitcoin Cash Zero-Confirmation Escrows (ZCEs) enable instant, incentive-secure payments on Bitcoin Cash. They require no setup delay or ongoing relationship, and can be safely accepted without a waiting period.
Ideas CHIP: Ranged Script Numbers The Ranged Script Number (RSN) format is derived from the existing Script Number format used within the BCH VM, but it includes a prefix which allows RSN values to be safely parsed from serialized transaction messages.
Ideas CHIP Revised: Bigger Script Integers A new revision to the Bigger Script Integers CHIP has been published. This revision adds a full technical specification and an extensive Rationale section documenting design decisions made in the specification.
Ideas CHIP Revised: Native Introspection Operations A new revision to the Native Introspection Operations CHIP has been published. This revision clarifies several technical details and adds an extensive Rationale section documenting design decisions made in the specification.
Videos BCH Network Discussion: PMv3 I presented PMv3 in the June 2021 BCH Network Discussion panel. We described several PMv3 use cases, possible alternatives, implementation costs, and implications for future BCH development.
Ideas CHIP: Bounded Looping Operations Two new BCH opcodes, OP_BEGIN and OP_UNTIL, would enable loops in BCH contracts without increasing processing or memory requirements.
Ideas CHIP: Targeted Virtual Machine Limits By fixing poorly-targeted limits, we can make Bitcoin Cash contracts more powerful (without increasing validation costs).
PMv3 AMA on r/btc: Build Decentralized Apps on Bitcoin Cash with PMv3 I was r/btc on Reddit on May 2, 2021 for an AMA (Ask Me Anything). Some topics covered included prediction markets, PMv3, CashTokens, and Bitcoin Cash development.
PMv3 PMv3 CHIP Revised: Version 3 Transactions The PMv3 proposal has been revised and is now a Cash Improvement Proposal: CHIP-2021-01-PMv3. Review and feedback is appreciated.
Videos Video: Prediction Markets on Bitcoin Cash I spoke with George Donnelly about hashed witnesses, PMv3, CashTokens, prediction markets, synthetic assets, decentralized exchanges, BCH scaling considerations, comparisons with ETH, and more.
PMv3 PMv3: Build Decentralized Applications on Bitcoin Cash Bitcoin Cash is already powerful enough to build and scale many applications planned for “global state” systems like Ethereum.
CashTokens PMv3-Based CashTokens A post describing the original 2020 implementation of contract-validated tokens for Bitcoin Cash. Superseded by the CashTokens CHIP.
Ideas Prediction Markets on Bitcoin Cash By cutting through misinformation, prediction markets can save lives, root out corruption, and revolutionize industries.
