A new way to backup your wallet As much as we'd love read.cash to be as secure as possible, sometimes to make something convenient and useful, you have to make it a bit less secure, unfortunately. Initially, we've discussed among the team that we should only show "Backup your seed phrase" screen once and refuse any access to this screen later. The idea was that anyone who sits at your computer, can quietly copy your seed phrase while you're away and then steal your funds…
Language preferences After we have added language filters, people started asking us how to have the homepage with multiple languages back. Well, now you can, just click the cog to set up your language preferences. This is how it works: Have fun!
We're migrating away from rest.bitcoin.com When this post is about 10 minutes old, your browser will start sending **some** of the requests to `bchd.fountainhead.cash`, instead of `rest.bitcoin.com`. **EDIT:** It is live. Seems to be working. **EDIT2:** All of the browser functions are migrated away. **EDIT3:** Our backend is now also using bchd.fountainhead.cash This is a first experimental step, we want to see how well (or poorly) it works. The problem is that about 80% of…
500 users 🎉 and a few small changes Today we've crossed the line of 500 users registered on read.cash. It's not a big, but it's definitely a nice number. 🎉 Of course, there are relatively unknown people on Twitter that have more followers, but the number growing, which is nice, and all these people get to experience the magic of Bitcoin Cash as cash, which is even nicer! That bump at the end - it's the article about read.cash by Jamie Redman on bitcoin.com. Thanks, Jamie!…
Deja vu I was looking at the AAPL stock chart today (Apple Inc., you know - iPhone, Macs...) and I had a feeling of deja vu - I've see this somewhere before... Can you guess where? Then it struck me... This is the chart of Bitcoin (BTC)... Here's what happened next: I think stock market (and maybe the whole global economy along with it) is in for a **big surprise** pretty soon... should be a pretty interesting test for real cryptocurrencies.
Get sponsors You can actually get people to sponsor you on read.cash (kind of like on Patreon). It's pretty easy to get started - just click the `$` button in any of your published posts, you'll get a box like this: 👆 These are real actual sponsors of read.cash. Thank you to them! **It is up to you then to** ****convince**** **people to sponsor you and your work. People don't just give away money for nothing.** Here's how it works: Just click this button and a box for…
Blocking users It's not a fun topic to write about, but these things happen. Some user bugs you and you just don't want to see them anymore. We have implemented blocking. Just click the user's username and go to his/her page: Confirm and that's it. You won't see this person's articles or comments, all of the blocked user's comments will be hidden from your articles, and the person won't be able to see your articles too, seeing this instead: Not much to say about this…
What are Communities on read.cash? If you have ever used Reddit - communities are *very* similar to subreddits. https://read.cash/communities Basically you can create a community and people can join it. People can submit their own content to the community and the community moderators can either accept that content or refuse it, based on their own rules and standards. Communities can set their own rules. Some communities can accept content automatically, but still be able to…

Communities: some updates Hoping everybody is enjoying today's show with Bitcoin SV and Bitcoin Cash's upward movement too. https://rcimg.net/images/723d5fcf/FnCxv3ZgpnfjgjV7fBgy03OjVmCOFAVBRIjnD79k.png After the first version of communities was released, we've discovered a few things about how people use them and a bunch of functionality that was missing, so today we're releasing the next batch of things.…
A few updates Todays updates are pretty small. Custom amounts You can change the default upvote amounts to your taste now: As you can see I've added myself $0.25 button, but you can customize it as you want. Verified users So, today we've had an article, written by "Roger.Ver", which is not the account that Roger Ver actually uses. Since, it's going to be a problem soon - people impersonating official accounts - we've added a badge for important accounts: The badge is also…
CashFusion on Bitcoin Cash: what it is and let's try to crack it! What is **CashFusion**? CashFusion is an anonymity technology for Bitcoin Cash currently in alpha testing. It lets people mix coins anonymously and trustlessly. Unlike usual mixer services - there's no trace of who got how much in and who got how much out. So, even if a CashFusion server is busted or undercover agents are listening on the network - there's no chance to be deanonymized. As you know Bitcoin…
Boosting articles As of today, you can boost articles. Boosted articles are shown across read.cash and greatly increase the visibility of the article. You can boost your own articles or anyone else's. The amount of views you get is in proportion to the daily bid you set. If you place a bid of $0.01 per day and someone else places $0.02 per day, that means that you get about 33% of views and another person would get approximately 66% of views. After you set the daily bid, you…
An incomplete history of the Bitcoin Cash's origin and the Minimum Viable Fork project *Reprinted with permission.* *Original post by* ***Jonathan Toomim*** *on Reddit**.* https://old.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/bvj08f/an_incomplete_history_of_the_bitcoin_cashs_origin/ A common meme is that Roger Ver, Jihan Wu, and Craig Wright are the ones responsible for the creation of Bitcoin Cash. This is untrue. Those are figureheads who played a role in popularizing or (for Bitmain,…
Forums What a week. It was very interesting listening to all of the discussions about the funding proposal, but one thing kept bugging us - it was *very hard to have a long meaningful discussion in form of threaded comments*. The fact that articles are always moving further down doesn't help. So, we've decided to add forums to read.cash. **Currently, the forum is very basic** - just create a topic, add a reply and you can see marks about new messages in the posts you have…
