BCH Weekly News #75 (April 11, 2022)

A feature request for incorporating LNS support to BCH wallet Electron Cash has been merged. This addition will allow for users to have human readable and easy to remember addresses for both the BCH mainnet and smartBCH as well. For example "satoshisangels.bch" instead of "0x3ED12Ca3cA7049Ca852667130CA2291A19BAD0E4" or "bitcoincash:pq6czsquwhyuuyh7rjqs8r5fjr8ltd2tn5lg954d68".
