Although they haven't released things recently, the team is still very actively posting updates that they are focussed on their upcoming releases. And I know myself they're turning away other work to focus on getting it done! So could be a good sign.

2026-03-12 17:35:49 UTC

- reply

We do already have a ticket for this. One of those "Would love to do it, right after the fifty other top priorities" kind of issues that struggles to get our attention unfortunately.

Ok great, sounds like all's well that ends well!

2026-03-12 17:33:38 UTC

- reply

Well, true, hence my priorities. But I have been thrilled to have such active and committed users to BChat right from the get go in its very basic state and so it's something I don't want to let momentum let up on!!

2026-03-12 17:26:20 UTC

- reply

Great initiative.

2026-03-12 17:25:33 UTC

- reply

1. Paying money to contractors/employees globally, instantly, free, no KYC
2. Both funding and getting funded with international crowdfunding efforts
3. Bchat!

2026-03-10 11:23:01 UTC

I know it's been quiet here on BChat in terms of updates. I am focussed on getting everything ready to have a really huge BLISS. As far as I can tell, that's what a lot of the BCH ecosystem is silently gearing up for. Expect a lot of announcements in May!!

2026-03-10 11:14:22 UTC

- reply

Yeap image uploads is an absolutely huge request, we will definitely support that as soon as we get a chance to focus on BChat again.👍

2026-03-10 11:13:34 UTC

- reply

It's a very very cool project. However it has been in "perpetual beta" for probably at least 4 years at this point. Kinda similar to BCH Gurus... the "it'll be live soon" has continued for years on end with little delivery. But it's a great concept, I hope they can get it released fully.

2026-03-10 11:06:50 UTC

- reply

Hmmmmm, we haven't even deployed any updates so weird that it would have changed? We have a big Selene release coming the next couple of days, and then I'll import that also into bchat which might help the situation.

2026-03-10 11:03:38 UTC

- reply

This is a great tip, thanks. I love contributing to the JOGs efforts!

2026-03-03 22:01:35 UTC

- reply

Whatever happened to the phrase "dank memes" anyway?
People just totally stopped saying that?

2026-03-03 22:00:42 UTC

Sorry everyone that I haven't got around to adding image support yet on BChat because we really need to be able to post some dank memes here but it's my fault we can't yet.

2026-03-03 22:00:00 UTC

- reply

Sounds awesome. Also, would be cool to have a guide on how to set up docker and run things for people who don't know about it across the different platforms, and what to do with your node after setting it up!

2026-03-02 10:08:09 UTC

- reply

Definitely an area that lots of extra tooling and options for pruned nodes can be added. Especially once we have UTXO Commitments to let pruned nodes (or any nodes) start syncing from close to the chain tip for fast spin up.

2026-03-01 16:03:06 UTC

- reply

Sure. We have our conference BCH BLISS, in Slovenia in May. The ticket to get in is an NFT on the BCH blockchain. This year, there are 100 tickets, each with unique art. And they are called Laylas because it's the Layla BCH upgrade.
You can get one on the website!

2026-03-01 16:01:40 UTC

- reply

Yes, we do look at our competitors to see what we can innovate from them.
But our biggest blocker at the moment is just lack of time amid all the other projects we work on, rather than lack of ideas.

2026-03-01 16:00:44 UTC

- reply

I am absolutely planning to. I started using the docker download from BCHN (the Mac build didn't want to install for some reason), but never finished the download. It's on my todo list to get a dedicated machine though.

2026-03-01 15:59:40 UTC

- reply

Well you can obviously earn BCH by good posts on BChat.
But really, how do you make money now? What's your job? If you don't have one, get one. Then ask them to pay you in BCH instead of your local fiat currency!

2026-02-27 08:38:52 UTC

There are currently 46 Layla tickets left! If you need any more reasons to come, check out this live show from last year and imagine the exquisite vibes of being there live on the ground!
I'm so excited to do it all again.

So cool to see this project progressing. There are so many applications once it's built, I can't wait to have my Index Fund CashTokens of the Cauldron Top 20. Instabuy.

2026-02-27 08:11:00 UTC

- reply

Hmmmmmm, well I guess we'll see how it plays out. More miners are definitely getting interested in BCH, but of course we do want them to arrive in a balanced way so that people can't create FUD about miner centralisation.

2026-02-27 08:08:56 UTC

- reply

Any possible data can and will go on blockchain. See people on BTC discussing child porn. It's not good, but it's unavoidable. Countries just have to deal with it.
That said, BChat does not put messages on chain like Memo or hodlocker. That's why we have NOSTR.

2026-02-27 08:07:20 UTC

- reply

Yes some of them were indeed very passionate... but they were very passionate in a moronic and unsustainable direction. It's a very weird phenomenon, and we have only seen a couple of people rethink their decisions. And those ones left BSV, but didn't rejoin BCH. Very odd.

2026-02-23 19:05:20 UTC

Really enjoyed my stream with Tone Vays. He's actually a pretty cool guy to just have some banter with. Check it out if you haven't seen it!

2026-02-23 19:03:25 UTC

- reply

What's the source for this? It's really interesting if we're seeing an industry trend in the miners to start allocating big capital to BCH. They don't always communicate very much about it...

2026-02-23 19:01:22 UTC

Let's go!!

2026-02-21 07:17:34 UTC

This is so cool to see. Awesome what AI is unlocking for us to experiment with and roll out quicker.

2026-02-21 07:06:02 UTC

- reply

Yes, image support is one of the most requested features! But I have been so busy with BLISS that I haven't had any time to do BChat updates - so my apologies it is on the backburner at the moment.

2026-02-21 07:04:56 UTC

Happy Friday everyone!

2026-02-21 07:03:55 UTC

- reply

Sorry I've never used it so I actually don't know.
But what I do know is that Bitcoin .com basically left all their BCH services to rot about 5 years ago, except for the ones they shut down entirely. So I wouldn't rely on them to still be working at all unfortunately.

2026-02-20 10:14:35 UTC

- reply

The best thing about UI, very easy to provide configurable options.

2026-02-20 10:14:19 UTC

- reply

I think it's amazing to see people vibe designing new interfaces for BCH software. This is going to change our speed of UI improvement enormously!
I really hope something like this gets seriously considered for implementation. Looks great.

2026-02-20 09:51:22 UTC

- reply

Alright, just one and half weeks remaining then!
If I coud predict, I'd actually predict they delay again unfortunately. But I really hope to be wrong.

2026-02-19 09:46:04 UTC

If anybody hasn't been following the latest on 1 minute blocks, Bitcoincashautist is still producing really interest research and statistics on the proposal, check out the latest!

Kinda the issue is that they've been saying "soon" since forever lol. Years in the making.
Whenever they deliver, it's usually pretty impressive. But the rollout speed is always SOOO slow haha.

2026-02-19 09:40:35 UTC

- reply

Welcome! Glad to see you on BChat! Let us know how you find it!

2026-02-19 09:30:15 UTC

- reply

Yes it's a tough balance between concentrating the chatter of our community to build network effect vs maintaining multiple communities for people to have different options and backups.
Organically it seems to be fairly well distributed.

2026-02-19 09:23:32 UTC

- reply

BCH integration I think is already a huge jump forward, and it's been very popular even on our MVP platform.
That said, we definitely do want to do a lottery like you suggest. And have lots of other ideas, like NFT market integrations, subscriptions, FundMe coordination.

2026-02-19 09:22:07 UTC

BLISS ticket sale is ongoing! Consider coming along, there's only 56 left!

2026-02-18 09:10:57 UTC

Well the key is going to be prompting migration to alternatives like BChat.
Everything we can do to have more positive, engaging and productive discussion elsewhere will help strip existing platforms of their censorship ability.

2026-02-18 08:56:19 UTC

- reply

😂😂 Indeed. Once the "bad actors" have been purged, the Inquisition can only turn in on itself. Amazing how once they kicked out all the rubbish big blocker devs they ended up with a technological mess. 😂

2026-02-18 08:55:11 UTC

- reply

I think it's likely someone will actually build this at some point. It's been suggested many times simply to win debate points "Oh we have that too", but ofc never been worth it for that.
But I can see a payments channel project coming up sooner or later.

2026-02-18 08:32:13 UTC

- reply

Welcome to BChat! I've been impressed by its initial uptake, but it is suffering a bit from not being our top priority with so much else going on! Hoping to fix that soon.
Let us know your feedback and how you find it!

2026-02-16 10:15:58 UTC

Feeling really good about BCH, watching in comparison to the BIP-110 brigade discover the realities of splitting off as a minority fork. The best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago!
My focus turning on to BLISS now.

This is really just the beginning. As people start to pile in, the network effect only grows.

File hosting and sharing paid in BCH is going to be huge. People are looking into this with IPFS, and we'll need to have something like that here for BChat.
A universal online currency will convert into efficient online storage and sharing.

2026-02-15 08:21:54 UTC

BCH seems to be about 1 year away from setting a positive increase on the BCH/BTC chart. This will do a lot to dispel price FUD. If we rise in the meantime, it'll happen quicker.
Objections to BCH are running out.

2026-02-12 16:07:09 UTC

- reply

This is really important, the BCH community needs to stay ahead of scammers trying to grift funding money for sure.

Feels like they already are. I believe J Master Hamster is actually able to tip us on BChat?? If I remember right, I think I received one.
Maybe that was automated? It can certainly receive tips.

2026-02-11 08:27:27 UTC

I think I recognise your username! Glad to see you here!
Let us know how you find it! BChat is very experimental at the moment, but we are collecting feedback to improve it over time.😁

I have barely been seeing them at all recently. One guy tried to jab me when XMR flipped BCH, but then of course vanished after they cratered again.
Feels like they have their own problems to deal with internally.

2026-02-10 18:54:13 UTC

- reply

This is a really good topic. I'm looking forward to hear more about what you find. The data on it is probably available from at least some BTC miners on their renewable initiatives, but I don't know where.

2026-02-10 18:52:26 UTC

This is such an important project. So glad to see ongoing progress with this.

2026-02-10 10:00:27 UTC

- reply

I hear you! Honestly we're thrilled that BChat has had as much traction and interest as it has even despite being a very broken beta version. Work is underway to improve it!

2026-02-10 09:42:08 UTC

- reply

I've seen several people asking about this. I'm not a big fan of hardware wallets myself, but people have been talking about.
Most BTC hardware wallets should also support BCH, since the seed phrase is the exact same.

2026-02-10 09:39:15 UTC

- reply

Still here, just busy. Would love to have more time to kick BChat up a level but haven't got to it yet.

2026-02-10 09:37:42 UTC

Everyone is doing a really great job representing BCH on social media. The vibe is shifting, we're consolidating into the Top 10. Gotta work hard to put in a huge lift for BCH in 2026. BLISS is going to be awesome.

2026-02-09 11:11:22 UTC

- reply

Well, yes and no. There's a lot of fake FUD about Epstein stuff.
But also, they are still somewhat distracted arguing amongst themselves. The timer is still ticking down to August/September with BIP-110 activation. That will be big again in a couple of months.

2026-02-09 09:54:18 UTC

- reply

It's a fun volatility play, if you think you can buy tokens before other people are aware of them - and it's always easy to cash them out. Growth in BCH grows tokens.
Also, tokens with specific utility and releases like GURU have good odds of increased demand.

I believe it's 30% goes to the Lotto and 70% to the distributed prize pool.

CavAItys would be a big problem though...

2026-02-09 09:51:53 UTC

Yes, people have replaced thinking through an issue and researching from independent sources with Grok.
But they did the same with Google. So it's probably just the same thing really. Some people are very gullible.

2026-02-08 15:09:06 UTC

- reply

I don't know if it will be fully ready for that. The only problem with BChat is how little time I have to allocate to it, but once we can get a stable release out I think it'll be much much easier for people to jump into.

2026-02-08 15:02:52 UTC

I'm really hoping we'll see some Guru releases in February. They've been quiet for SOOO long. Surely there will be something soon.

2026-02-08 15:01:24 UTC

I don't think they're going to realise at $1 000.
Maybe at $5 000.
They truly want to shut themselves into their echo chamber. It will be immense pain before they take a serious look and reevaluate.

Glad to have you here on BChat! How are you finding it so far?

2026-02-08 14:55:48 UTC

- reply

Do you have a link to the market trend tracking? Or do you mean "dropped it" as in "stopped working on it"?
BCH definitely could use some better support on the payment processing side of the stack. Would love more initiatives in that direction.

2026-02-08 14:53:51 UTC

- reply

Is there a linked article? Seems like the provided link only goes to a graphic, which I don't really understand to be honest.
It sounds like a fascinating concept, I am very interested in more sustainable agriculture and what BCH can do to help facilitate it.

2026-02-08 14:50:35 UTC

- reply

Indeed. It's a key innovation on my part that it takes the users of BChat to provide the funding. There is no faucet for free tips, only if generous users want to contribute them. But Selene does not have to fund that, making it more sustainable.

2026-02-08 14:49:02 UTC

- reply

Welcome to BChat! Let us know how you find it!

2026-02-08 14:44:52 UTC

- reply

Yes, I believe it is. We're looking good, and not all that much of a short surge from BCH and a drop off from DOGE will help us get into #9 and really consolidate our standing.

2026-02-07 12:47:00 UTC

- reply

This is actually pretty big news. We're seeing a rise in BCH mining interest which both follows and accelerates our price dominance. So cool to see.

2026-02-07 12:44:08 UTC

I'll look into it.

2026-02-07 12:43:42 UTC

- reply

They're talking about coins that are being launch on https://bchpump.cash/pump which is like Solana's pump.fun
It lets people invest before the coins are fully distributed, and then moves funding into Cauldron DEX for initial trading.

2026-02-07 12:42:19 UTC

- reply

In 10 years, I expect the price of BCH to be probably in the range of $500k, potentially several million.
Dollars will have devalued, and also once BCH flips BTC it'll just start rolling with no stop.

2026-02-07 12:41:08 UTC

- reply

That sounds awesome.
How many regular customers do you get paying in BCH? Is there any secret to converting customers you already know to try it out?

2026-02-07 12:39:52 UTC

- reply

Yeah this is pretty messed up. My focus is on fixing the money to start with, but it's pretty clear we'll then need to move on to fixing other aspects of society like food supply.

Yes, it's certainly something we will consider. Better ways for people to onboard.

Getting some nice tips on BChat feels amazing. Thank you to all who send me some custom tips!
With a smoother experience so more people are active daily, I can see BChat being very very popular.

2026-02-05 08:40:55 UTC

- reply

This is just on-chain scaling issues. We've known about them forever.
Even at very high volumes, scanning all the addresses infrequently is very feasible.

2026-02-05 08:37:47 UTC

- reply

Older posts will slowly drop out of circulation on the feed, and rarely receive tips. That's just how all social media works.
That said, we are going to move all the BChat tip addresses onto their own path, so it's simple to rescan them to check en-masse once in a while.

2026-02-05 08:30:58 UTC

- reply

That doesn't make any sense. If we do that, how would BChat know what amount of tips each post has received?
Also it's terrible for on-chain privacy.

2026-02-05 08:29:18 UTC

- reply

Good suggestion! Will add it to the list.

2026-02-05 08:27:58 UTC

Yes, performance improvements will come.
BChat is just one part of the many projects I am working on. But we will improve on it over time.
