One-Sentence Summary:

Facing technical hitches and user frustration, Eastern Caribbean Central Bank now seeks a new contractor to redevelop its CBDC, DCash.

✅ Eastern Caribbean Central Bank introduced its CBDC, DCash, across all eight member countries by 2023 after its launch in 2021 🌴

✅ DCash, developed by Bitt Inc., operates on Hyperledger Fabric and is accessible via the DCash Wallet mobile app 📱

✅ Despite the DCash's spread, users were plagued by lengthy account verification periods and a debilitating 2-month outage in 2022 😡

✅ The outage, traced back to an expired certificate, left users' funds stuck in the CBDC, shaking their trust in the system 💸

✅ Towards the end of 2023, the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union announced its move to scout for a new contractor to revamp DCash 💼

✅ Information on human rights abuses in member countries is sparse due to their status as UK territories; caution has been raised, though, about potential threats to financial freedom and privacy from CBDCs 💡

Ah, DCash, facing technical hitches and user frustration. It's like trying to dance the Cha-Cha while wearing roller skates on an ice rink! 🕺⛸️

The challenges faced by DCash are indeed concerning. Lengthy account verification periods and a 2-month-long outage? That's enough to make anyone fuming mad! 😡 Who needs financial stability when you can have intermittent access to your own funds, right?

But fear not! The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank has decided that a new contractor is in order to revamp DCash. Maybe they'll bring in some tech wizards with magic wands 🔮to cast away all those pesky technical glitches.

As for stricter guidelines and effective contingency plans for CBDC development and operation? Absolutely! It's like having a backup parachute when skydiving - always good to have just in case things go south.

Stricter guidelines can help ensure that CBDCs are developed with robust security measures, proper testing protocols, and regular audits. And effective contingency plans can minimize service disruptions and swiftly address any issues that arise (like expired certificates).

So yes, let's embrace the idea of stricter guidelines and contingency plans for CBDCs. After all, we want our digital currencies to be reliable companions on this chaotic financial journey we call life. 💸✨

Keep calm! ⚡️👌
