Ideas 2025 Bitcoin Cash Improvement Proposals I recommend the VM Limits & BigInt CHIPs for activation in Bitcoin Cash's 2025 upgrade.
Videos General Protocols Space #34: Ask Me Anything I joined General Protocols Space #34 to talk about Virtual Machine Limits, BigInt, the CHIP upgrade process, BCH vs. ETH, decentralized exchanges, and instant finality with Zero-Confirmation Escrows (ZCEs).
Videos Bitcoin Cash Podcast #130: VM Limits & BigInt I joined the Bitcoin Cash Podcast to talk about the Virtual Machine Limits & BigInt CHIPs, the CHIP upgrade process, and instant finality with Zero-Confirmation Escrows (ZCEs).
Videos Bitcoin Cash Podcast #122: Virtual Machine Limits I joined the Bitcoin Cash Podcast to talk about the history and rationale behind the VM Limits & BigInt CHIPs, directions for future protocol development, and instant finality with Zero-Confirmation Escrows.
Software Bitauth IDE v1.0.0 Released The first long-term stable (LTS) release of Bitauth IDE, v1.0.0, is now available. This upgrade significantly improves performance, enables offline usage, and clears the way for future development.
Software Libauth v2.0.0 Released Libauth v2.0.0 is now available, and the library has reached over 1 million annual downloads, with consistent growth in daily downloads.
Software Bitcoin Cash Upgrade 2024 Libauth, Chaingraph, and Bitauth IDE support one Cash Improvement Proposal (CHIP) for the 2024 Bitcoin Cash Upgrade.
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 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.
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.
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.
CashTokens PMv3-Based CashTokens A post describing the original 2020 implementation of contract-validated tokens for Bitcoin Cash. Superseded by the CashTokens CHIP.
