Happy birthday, read.cash! Ok, it's not quite a **birthday** yet, but today marks exactly **one month** since the first line of code for read.cash was written. 🍰 To celebrate it - we're **removing the invite-only registration** and now **everyone can join**. 🎉 read.cash has been growing much faster than we've anticipated. Frankly we've expected nearly zero growth for the first month. Surprisingly, we now have (despite being invite-only so far): 68 registered users; 260 upvotes given totalling $ 115.08 in Bitcoin Cash, so the average upvote is about $ 0.44 (wanna get rich slowly? 🧐); Articles published in 3 languages (English, Spanish and Russian). This we didn't anticipate at all and are frantically thinking about how to deal with all the people who can't read Spanish and Russian and vice versa (those who can only read Spanish or Russian). These all are very modest stats for any modern site, but for us expecting zero growth - that's something amazing. We've implemented a lot from our Roadmap in this month: https://read.cash/@Read.Cash/readcash-roadmap-9c51de71 Affiliate program; https://read.cash/@Read.Cash/our-affiliate-program-e616a825 Better editing (image pasting, uploading, Unsplash integration); https://read.cash/@Read.Cash/how-to-use-the-editor-at-readcash-e2df60aa In-site notification system; Subscriptions to authors and topics; CashID login and registration without e-mail (using Badger Wallet); Comments; and even The ability to deposit fiat currencies (not available in US, sorry) ... and yet our Roadmap keeps growing, because each new user gives us some new ideas and each new day brings us new challenges. https://read.cash/@Read.Cash/the-red-banner-day-post-mortem-d333f98d Here are some of the most interesting reads this month: The Benevolent Dictator (by @Cain) https://read.cash/@Cain/the-benevolent-dictator-b531593d Sztorc v.

Also, here are some of our *own* interesting reads (mostly technical about Bitcoin Cash, though): Why we don't publish articles on-chain https://read.cash/@Read.Cash/why-we-dont-publish-articles-on-chain-7faed7aa What's so great about Bitcoin Cash? https://read.cash/@Read.Cash/whats-so-great-about-bitcoin-cash-26bdb6f0 How to use Bitcoin Cash with JavaScript (including Bitcoin Cash contracts) https://read.cash/@Read.Cash/how-to-use-bitcoin-cash-with-javascript-including-bitcoin-cash-contracts-08fdc194 How to implement CashID ("Login with Badger Wallet") on your site https://read.cash/@Read.Cash/how-to-implement-cashid-login-with-badger-wallet-on-your-site-5b773726 How to start using Badger Wallet and read.cash... all in under 1 minute https://read.cash/@Read.Cash/how-to-start-using-badger-wallet-and-readcash-all-in-under-1-minute-71cf4e0c How to wait for the incoming or outgoing transactions on BCH network to the particular address https://read.cash/@Read.Cash/how-to-wait-for-the-incoming-or-outgoing-transactions-on-bch-network-to-the-particular-address-9b129c03 Bitcoin Cash for web developers, demo using the browser only https://read.cash/@FreelanceForCoins/bitcoin-cash-for-web-developers-demo-using-the-browser-only-dc8cbac8 Hopefully, the next month would bring us more interesting reads and we're still working on adding all kinds of improvements, like polls, author sponsorships, paywalls and maybe one of our features from the other "secret" roadmap ;-) Got something to share? Get onboard! https://read.cash/register A screenshot for the posterity with all the terrible affiliate promotions going on (we're now showing only some articles in the "hot" section, and all articles in "new" section, until we work out better policy for this - trying to walk the fine line between moderation and censorship):
