KALLISTI HOSTS CROSS CHAIN BTC-BCH DEV SPACE ON TWITTER

Selene wallet developer Kallisti recently hosted a twitter space that brought together developers from both BCH and BTC sides of the 2017 fork to discuss the state of development on both sides. /dev/fd0, Rearden, moonsettler all joined on the BTC dev side while Mathieu Geukens, Emergent Reasons, Tom Zander, and Calin Culianu, all joined to represent BCH with co-hosts Josh Ellithorpe and Vlad Costea. The very civil discussion was mostly technical and focused on the differences between the 2 chains including how upgrades are done (or not done) as well as the additions that each chain has added since the fork. Overall the discussion was mostly drama free and extremely educational and a highly recommended listen. https://x.com/kzKallisti/status/1824521374175531478

CASHONIZE DESKTOP VERSION 0.1.2 NOW OUT

Cashonize, a user-friendly Bitcoin Cash wallet, has released its latest desktop version, Cashonize v0.1.2, for Windows. Known for its minimalist design, Cashonize offers support for CashTokens and WalletConnect, making it suitable for decentralized applications on the BCH network. The wallet features a single address system and is available as a web wallet and desktop application. Version 0.1.2 introduces enhancements like improved WalletConnect transaction dialogues, re-worked token creation menus, and NFT token icon support for .mp4 files. However, it does not yet support CashConnect or verified token display through OpenTokenRegistry. Installation is straightforward via the Cashonize-Setup-0.1.2.exe installer for Windows.

JOHN MORIARTY LAUNCHES FUNDME.CASH CAMPAIGN FOR CASHTOKENS VIDEO

John Moriarty, the creator behind the Bitcoin Out Loud YouTube channel, is currently running a crowdfunding campaign on Fundme.cash to finance a new video titled “Bitcoin Out Loud: The Road to CashTokens.” The campaign has reached 16.77% of its goal, with 10 days remaining. Moriarty, who has been active in the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) space through various roles such as content production and project management, aims to raise approximately 12.2273161 BCH, or about $4,000, to cover costs including storyboarding, illustration, animation, scriptwriting, and filming. The video will explore the significance of the miner-validated token upgrade on the BCH blockchain, which enables decentralized applications comparable to those on Ethereum, while maintaining Bitcoin Cash’s strong scaling capabilities. Moriarty invites audiences to make pledges or engage with the campaign as he seeks to highlight the potential of CashTokens for decentralized finance. https://fundme.cash/campaign/6

NEW PAPER WALLET MARKETING TOOL IS AVAILABLE

A new tool called CashStamps, available at stamps.cash, has launched in beta, offering a unique way to create giftable Bitcoin Cash (BCH) vouchers. Known as “stamps,” these vouchers are designed as QR codes that can be printed and distributed at events, given to friends, or used as tips. When scanned with a compatible wallet, the QR code transfers the stamp’s value to the user’s wallet. The system includes a feature that allows creators to reclaim unclaimed stamps, ensuring no BCH is lost. The initiative has already seen positive reception when 81 CashStamps, each loaded with $5 in BCH, were distributed at a recent Bitcoin conference. Users are encouraged to experiment with the tool and share feedback to aid in its development.

DR. SAQIB NOOR CONTINUES TO DISRUPT THE MEDICAL JOURNAL INDUSTRY

The Journal of Global Surgery (JOGS ONE) has announced the publication of a rare case report detailing issues of a young female patient from Ethiopia. This report, reviewed by professionals in Sri Lanka, India, and the USA, underscores the international scope and collaborative nature of the journal. JOGS ONE operates under an innovative model using Bitcoin Cash for community funding, enabling a transparent and ethical peer review process. By leveraging BCH, the journal facilitates open-access publishing, ensuring that its medical research, now including seven peer-reviewed articles, is freely available to a global audience. This approach not only advances equitable access to medical knowledge but also pioneers the use of cryptocurrency in supporting global surgery research.
