read.cash supports CashID now Happy to report that as of this moment read.cash supports CashID (by @JonathanSilverblood). That means that for those of you who have Badger Wallet installed the registration is as simple as clicking two buttons "Use CashID" and "Sign" and selecting a name. https://gitlab.com/cashid/protocol-specification https://read.cash/@JonathanSilverblood https://badger.bitcoin.com/ We plan to publish an technical article about how to implement CashID…

How to implement CashID ("Login with Badger Wallet") on your site What is a "CashID"? CashID is basically "Login with Bitcoin Cash" button. Here is the specification, created by JonathanSilverblood. This article will mostly concentrate on how to implement it. https://gitlab.com/cashid/protocol-specification https://read.cash/@JonathanSilverblood Overview The only client that we know of that implements CashID is Badger Wallet, so we will implement the CashID using that…

Back up your seed words Welcome to read.cash! Please read the following article, it is very important to not lose your money. read.cash uses **Bitcoin Cash (BCH)** cryptocurrency to support the creators of the content.

How to wait for the incoming or outgoing transactions on BCH network to the particular address So, you've implemented Bitcoin Cash in your site or app, now you need to react as soon as a user sends a transaction or gets an incoming transaction to his/her address. You could, of course listen to the entire BCH blockchain, like here: https://bitsocket.bch.sx/s, but that's pretty ineffective. Here's how to listen to a single address: Bitcoin Cash MainNet MainNet is better,…

Why we don't publish articles on-chain The posts of read.cash are stored in a regular database, not in the Bitcoin Cash blockchain. Publishing content "on-chain" - i.e. as a transaction to the Bitcoin Cash blockchain sounds like a nice feature, but we won't be doing it. Here's why. There are 2 main problems: Reason 1: Pay-to-publish To be able to publish something on-chain, you'd have to have Bitcoin Cash first. **We want authors to be able to sign up, publish an article,…

Better image editing Now you can position images on your screen. Links You can now add a link to the image or make it go full-screen. https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=success+borat Shadows You can also add shadows to the image - it makes some content better. Though it mostly works great if you have white background and some padding. The editor is still quirky, but we're trying to make it better everyday.

Code highlighting is here This was pretty boring and hard to read, right? Imagine if it was like this: CSS .editor { margin-right: 10px; } HTML <div id="test">The text</div> PHP $variable = 'test'; SQL SELECT * FROM table*name WHERE user*id = 15; JavaScript document.querySelectorAll('.users').forEach(user => user.isAwesome()); Well, it is! 🎉 Now, your code will be highlighted.

Access read.cash from more than one device Previously if you tried to log in from another device to read.cash - you'd have to create another wallet and you'd have 2 (or more) wallets. Which was inconvenient. Now you can use your original wallet. We would even try to warn you if it seems like you're importing an empty wallet.

Happy birthday, read.cash!

You can now move SLP tokens (including USDH stablecoin) without having Bitcoin Cash I think this is one of the most important news that I've heard. Vin Armani has released the SLP postage protocol, which seemingly means that we can now have pure token experience - if you want to move USDH - you need only USDH, not USDH+BCH for fees. https://github.com/simpleledger/slp-specifications/blob/master/slp-postage-protocol.md I haven't yet read the protocol, but it sounds very…

So, you're against censorship... It's an admirable ideal to be against censorship, you won't be accused of suppressing ideas, right? At the same time you get this: And this: ...and I could give you the examples of this the whole day. But the point is... moderation is a thing. Not everyone finds the poems about peeing on people interesting and not every idea deserves to be spread. Sometimes this kind of "art" should go where it belongs.…

How do SLP Tokens on Bitcoin Cash work First of all, I'm not an expert on SLP. I just wanted to figure out how SLP tokens work and these are my notes while doing that. Please refer to the original document for details. https://github.com/simpleledger/slp-specifications/blob/master/slp-token-type-1.md There are a few token types planned, this is the description of Token Type 1. As of this day (Nov 2019) I don't think there are any other token types. SLP tokens don't have any…

How to grow the Bitcoin Cash ecosystem: our vision Bitcoin Cash has taken a dive recently from $280 per 1 BCH when we started to $208 right about now. Yet still there's $3.7 billion market cap in Bitcoin Cash. That's: **$3'700'000'000** How much of that is needed to support the projects on Bitcoin Cash? Do you think that LazyFox.io could be better off if it was earning $10'000/month? That's not much - that's barely 0.0001% of the market cap. https://lazyfox.io/ If you don't…

Offline Bitcoin Cash payments When Tobias Ruck from be.cash ("be-dot-cash") told his anecdote about being in a bar in a foreign country (Australia) and having poor to no internet connection and therefore being unable to use Bitcoin Cash for payments (which ultimately lead him to creation of his amazing idea for the offline smart card) I've had an idea of my own. (Turns out Tobias had that idea also and it's described in his white paper, so presented here without the claims…
