Was this a post or a reply to someone because this “post” is showing up on my feed as a top level post without any indication it’s part of a conversation? I’ve seen this a couple of times now where posts in the feed seemed out of place.

It started working again. I’m assuming it was some error for a remote resource that blocked loading the entire page or something. Couldn’t read the developer console unfortunately since it was on an iPad. Firefox worked so not a huge problem just thought I’d mention it in case you did tweak something but that didn’t seem to be the case.

2026-03-08 20:00:11 UTC

BChat website showing me a black screen in Safari on an iPad (the way I always used to access it). Worked fine for many weeks but today only switching to Firefox seemed to help. Anyone else experiencing something similar?

It probably will get much faster in the future. Only think I can think of right now is that a Fulcrum node has to be queried all the time to get a post's balance but that could be done in the background anyway.
We should also hold these kinds of contests when image uploads are supported.

Image support would be a great addition. Also please try fixing the excessive traffic to NOSTR relays 🙏, I can already feel my laptop getting hot while I'm typing this, it's eating through the battery every time I visit BChat.😅

I think it's best to ship nodes and indexers as separate products but yes it should be much easier to run that combo.
I've got some ideas for a Docker compose file that will allow you to run your own node and indexer with a single command.

2026-03-01 13:08:41 UTC

Anyone running or planning to run their own BCH node and/or Fulcrum indexer? How was the process? What did you struggle with or are unsure about?

Wasn’t aware of Treechar. I have to admit BSVers did have a lot of builders making pretty innovative things. If only they would start building on BCH… but they won’t apparently because we don’t support terabyte blocks? Or were they all being paid by Calvin to build stuff? 🤔

lol yeah I hear you but Jeremy’s involved in so much stuff already we can’t complain. It’s a miracle he even found the time to build BChat at all with everything he’s involved in. It’s all open source so feel free to contribute if something’s bothering you.

Yes that was a very friendly open minded talk. Nothing crazy, no maximalist narratives pushed on either side. Jeremy clearly explained what BCH is and how it came to be and why without judging the other side.

Unfortunately not, you can only link for now. Media upload support is probably one of the first things that gets addresses in the next BChat update.

For me it's the fact that I know people paid $0.04 or whatever to post. Means more signal and less noise/spam. Not that all posts are high quality but it makes for a much nicer and fun environment.

Interesting! I always liked the classic Windows style with the tabs since it's a power user wallet. But this look nice as well, wouldn't mind it if there's still the possibility to switch back to the classic theme.

Yes on iPhone/iPad I'm having lots of issues. Most problematic one is that only top level posts load.
As far as multiple sessions and followers goes: I believe who you are following is stored locally and not on-chain or on NOSTR so followers are not tied to your seed.

While probably not happening anytime soon, I often do wonder what the flippening will look like and at what ratio it basically becomes inevitable and miners start to abandon the BTC ship for good in record numbers?
What will ETF issuers do at that point? Saylor and MSTR? Can't wait to see how it will all play out, could be very different from what we all assume or expect.

I listened to the first hour. Jake is aware of BCH existing but unfortunately Aaron doesn’t seem to think it’s worth mentioning as part of the Hijacking. But overall it’s a net positive more people are starting to wake up to the fact that BTC is no longer Bitcoin.

2026-02-14 12:42:46 UTC

I recently discovered https://torbox.app it’s a cloud based torrent client that temporarily caches everything users download so if you tell it to download a popular torrent file then you can get a direct download link (it maxed out my 100Mbit connection so their servers are fast).
Very convenient for anyone not wanting their torrent downloads spied on (e.g. iknowwhatyoudownload.com). Also VPNs usually aren’t an option because ports have to be opened and forwarded.
They accept BCH, through a payment processor (it only wanted an e-mail address) but it’s a start. Access starts at $3/month which is dirt cheap for what you get.

2026-02-13 13:37:29 UTC

The BCHBTC ratio is slowly approaching 0.008. People are starting to ask the right questions regarding the hijacking of Bitcoin, we've got the Layla upgrade coming in May and some cool BCH apps are in development. BCH's firing on all cylinders! 🔥

I believe this could be a bug where the wallet is not connected to the node, the post/reply will go through but not the payment.
It'll be fixed eventually, Jeremy is involved in a ton of stuff so we either have to work with what we've got or try and fix it ourselves, it's all open source.

Yes being able to upload images/media has been an often requested feature. For other content such as links i don't think embedding is beneficial, breaks the feed/UI flow too much and links already open in a new tab.

Not sure about that. I replied to some posts yesterday and I can no longer get those posts to load (20 new posts since I last used BChat) in the feed and since notifications rarely work I have no way of checking if I got an an interesting answer/reply from somebody. Scrolling the feed starts loading posts from Feb 5th instead.

People you followed must be stored locally then. They are not tied to your seed and thus can't be retrieved when loading the seed in another wallet.

I’m here but BChat never really works for me on my phone/tablet, I can only get it to load top level comments. Probably a bug that needs to be ironed out. So I need my laptop/desktop to get it to work properly but I’m not on those all day. But I go on them at least once a day to check out BChat posts.

Yep very predictable behavior.
Great documentary! I like how it mentions e-Gold at the beginning, brings back memories.
I actually used that for a short period but got shutdown not too long after I discovered it so I was excited to learn about Bitcoin.

Tips are always anonymous now, some tippers might want to stay anonymous but I can imagine some tippers do want their name to be seen to publicly signal how much they value an idea/opinion etc. Perhaps highlight it similarly to how it's done in SuperChats on YouTube or something.

2026-02-08 11:55:17 UTC

Is this the longest we've held P10 on coinmarketcap since dropping out of the top 10 a couple of years ago?
With the BCH/BTC ratio slowly, but steadily, recovering for well over a year now, great upgrades with more to come and recent events it feels like the stars are slowly but surely aligning.

They might be so ignorant that they will still pull out a BCH/BTC price chart to convince (mainly themselves) how insignificant this all is.

I remember reading about Noise but it never appealed to me for reasons I can't remember. Were messages posted on-chain or centralized?
I really like how with BChat the posts are stored on NOSTR relays and the post/reply/like/tip payments are pure P2P cash transaction without any extra data attached.

$600 would be nice but I’m more impressed with the relative strength vs BTC right now! The tide is slowly turning.

2026-02-07 11:13:53 UTC

Chris Troutner posted videos on how to run BCHN and the Fulcrum indexer as a docker container.
Highly recommended for anyone interested in running their own setup to use with Selene for example rather than relying on public nodes.
You can even run it in a raspberry pi.

How would they know? Unless you get tipped an insane amount or actually make a living posting stuff and getting tips I wouldn't worry about and just spend it on goods and services.

2026-02-05 12:04:37 UTC

- reply

Yes BChat stuff definitely needs to be on its own derivation path and probably have a much larger monitor window/gap because a very active user posting and replying a lot could probably get say a 2 day old post pushed out of the monitoring window that way. Not an unsolvable problem but food for thought.

Yes I need to go on my desktop machine or laptop for BChat to load any replies and on my laptop it eats the battery. On my iPad and iPhone it'll only load top level posts.
@TheBCHPodcast is aware but he's involved in a ton of stuff so improvement will come but might take a while.

2026-02-04 22:44:32 UTC

A generous BChatter just tipped one of my posts 0.01 BCH! Thanks! 🙏
This got me thinking though, what if one of my older posts receives a reply/like/tip? Obviously BChat can’t monitor all addresses associated with those posts forever. I’d have to periodically rebuild/rescan the entire wallet to ensure I’m not missing any funds? 🤔

It does. I was referring to the fact that it's ridiculous to use custodial Lightning wallet to enable tipping on nostr.
Nostr itself is pretty cool, combine with decentralized P2P electronic cash it's even cooler.

True, Dotcom might be a bit too much of a heavyweight for now.
Perhaps Naomi Brockwell, she has some interesting takes and knowledge to share, I believe she already posts on memo, small step to also start posting here. I'm sure she can get behind an on-chain nostr based social media app.

2026-01-31 12:34:44 UTC

- reply

Yes just needs to be a bit more reliable and at least have image upload support but then we can start trying to get for instance Kim Dotcom to post here.
He was behind Cashrain right? He's still a big BCH fan and probably has a ton of controversial takes that will lead to loads of interactions.
Which reminds me, while this is all decentralized, the App/Google Play stores might not be too fond of a wallet that allows access to all kinds of uncensored social media content. Even if they don't notice it right away I don't think I'm too paranoid in thinking some maxi might feel the need to post NSFW stuff and then report Selene to Apple or something.

2026-01-31 12:00:19 UTC

It feels good being a BChatter, knowing maxis are over there larping with their custodial nostr lightning wallets while over here on BChat every interaction is fully decentralized and on-chain by default.

I don’t think it was meant to show up the way it did for you. I too sometimes see replies (mostly my own, but sometimes from other users) as a top level post but then refreshing the feed shows them at the correct level.

2026-01-30 17:59:58 UTC

When checking out the transaction history txs seem to be completely unordered, for example I’ll see all transactions I did over the last 4 days but they do not seem to be ordered by timestamp in any logical way.
Lots of them have hourglass icons indicating no confirmations, but tapping on them well bring up the detail screen that says it’s confirmed in block xxx.
No transactions are missing and the balance shows up fine though so nothing too serious but I thought it was odd since the Selene app with the same BChat wallet imported shows history correctly ordered.

2026-01-30 14:54:03 UTC

We probably need to beef up our Fulcrum node count for that haha but yes that would be awesome.
It'll already be a huge boost for morale when BChat starts consistently make a difference in the average number of 24h txs.

2026-01-30 14:07:35 UTC

- reply

It's not a major distraction, especially for BCH with its small ecosystem and community one of the things a wallet should do is encourage people to use it and engage with the community which is exactly what BChat does.
Existing NOSTR clients/community is pretty hardcore BTC only so good luck getting them to add BCH. And yes, getting Signal to support BCH would be huge but if you think getting them to add it is easier than developing BChat I think Selene/BChat devs would love to hear about it.

2026-01-30 13:56:31 UTC

- reply

There's something to be said for an X like approach where only top level posts are shown, it's cleaner especially on a phone screen. Since the number of replies and likes are shown it's immediately clear which post are potentially worth tapping on and expanding.
Right now BChat's notification system isn't super reliable so it's beneficial to see pretty much everything so I know I don't miss a reply to my post/reply but other than that I usually know when I see a post whether I'm interested to see what other have to say about this, certainly no need to show multiple levels deep by default.

Image uploads would be very cool. But hosting is the tricky part since nostr relays aren't built for this

Txcity is able to detect memo txs because they always have an OP_RETURN output. BChat txs don’t need it since posts aren’t stored on-chain but on nostr relays.
Adding an extra output to every tx just so txcity can recognize it doesn’t seem appropriate.

Number of paid likes/replies really are the best proxy and pretty accurately reflect interactions now since amounts are fixed but a single big tip also gets added to that number? Could be nice to distinguish between an actual “hot” post or a single whale just tipping an insane number.

2026-01-26 12:23:37 UTC

Yeah I like it too how they are just ordinary txs. Seems wasteful to add an output just for this. Perhaps add it to the Selene stats backend at one point to keep track of progress? But if it takes off the increase in average block size would be enough visualization for me.

Entire post/replies are stored on the blockchain with memo right? Always turned me off, not sure every “lol” and emoji has to be included in a block.
BChat uses nostr for posts and blockchain strictly for txs.

Every action on BChat is just a regular tx, no special outputs that can be used by txcity to identify them as BChat related.
