We're going to be live with The BCH Podcast shortly, including discussing the launch of Bchat. Ask any questions by replying to this BChat post!
https://fundme.cash/campaign/94 this looks promising to get us moving in the direction of legit privacy on BCH, what you think?
Yeap it definitely looks like a step in the right direction. I've been meaning to add a little funding to it.
It's not really about integrations. Memo stores the text in OP_RETURN. BChat sends it over NOSTR.
That's the difference. TX City could detect NOSTR posts too, but that would be different to their current setup.
There's all kinds of other things we can do once we have the basics of "0 click payments" as part of posting working smoothly.
FundMe campaigns, CashRains, all kinds of stuff coming in the future.
Well, I've been finding BChat a reasonable start... It's certainly easy using BChat to make 10 or 15 transactions in a burst and not even realise it...
So once we make it a little more slicker/reliable, and onboard a few more regulars, I'm sure we can make a dent.
Chat is just first app.
You can find any picture anywhere on the Internet, right click on it and choose "Copy Image Address" from the list of pop up options. That should give you a https link for use as your profile picture.
Welcome aboard mate!!
Yes, hopefully we can resurrect CashRain as part of BChat! Kim has obviously got busy with other things, but it was very popular, so maybe we can bring some of that magic back ourselves.
Next episode of The BCH Podcast will be live today (Sunday) 25th January at 14:00 UTC.
#172: Fun(d) Tokens & BChat Beta feat. Miguel Molina
We'll be monitoring BCHat for any live questions! Would be awesome to have some live contributions from the BChat community with thoughts/comments!
The transaction incentives at work!
Everyone's first reaction is "posting is too expensive!", but a little thought and experience usually levels them up to "Oh, I get it."
XMR bazaar launched https://anonbazaar.com/ we need to up the privacy game on BCH to be added as a payment option.
Everyone knows we need better privacy options, it's a clear thing the community is constantly asking for - but not sure how we actually get it.
It takes dedicated & high skill devs, plus funding. And both in short supply. So I'm not sure how to break the deadlock at the moment.
Yes, crossposting is great. Word has to spread somehow, and word of mouth is the best form of organic traction.
Indeed. Everyone always talks about microtransactions being such a killer feature of cryptocurrency, but there are still basically zero successful apps using that model.
Unlike CashRain, we're going to stick around and (hopefully) make it work. CashRains could be integrated even!
There are plenty of other services that you can chat away on all day for free.
The point of BChat is that it takes some sats to post, but you also earn sats via replies and likes. So make sure your posts are interesting and worth engaging with - and BChat will EARN you money instead.
I have done some work on adding extra rescans (and even the occasional rebuild seems to help as people slowly get way out of whack on these early versions with so much changing), but I'm sure it can be optimised and improved a lot.
Conceptually, it started with a limit of a small quantity of characters. I didn't replicate it byte for byte.
That's how Twitter started. But yeah, will be lifted in the next release. Others have had the same complaint.
1. Yeah we do need to do a little better about the notifications (and toasts) in general. Lots of little edge cases to sort out.
2. Oh man please no. Does everything have to devolve to slop? I guess it's inevitable. But nobody has disliked paying after trying afaik.
3. Rish bish.
I am making a post that is so good it passes the filters!
