Building Real BCH Use Cases from Argentina: Murray's Store, Munia, and the Next Step I want to share an exciting new chapter for Murray's Store, and also explain the journey that brought me here. Some of you may already know me from different projects and ideas I've been building around Bitcoin Cash from Argentina, including my work at: https://github.com/MadSatCash For a long time, I've been trying to build things around BCH: tools, ideas, experiments, and practical ways to bring Bitcoin Cash closer to real people, real communities, and real commerce. Now I'm preparing to relaunch Murray's Store: https://murraystore.cash/ My goal is not just to reopen a store. I want Murray's to become a practical BCH use case from Argentina: real products, BCH payments, BCH-based discounts, community incentives, content, and a direct connection between commerce and the Bitcoin Cash ecosystem. What I've Been Building Since the first version of Murray's, I kept working on ideas and tools related to BCH. One of the biggest things I built on my own is Munia: a platform designed for communities, campaigns, donations, memberships, rankings, incentives, and ways to fund projects using Bitcoin Cash. Munia is now part of this new stage because it allows Murray's to be more than just a store. It can also have a community around it, with supporters, customers, contributors, messages, incentives, and BCH-native interaction: https://munia.cash/community/murraystore I also built a tool that lets me create products and publish them automatically across multiple platforms with one click. This removes a lot of the manual work that slowed Murray's down before, and makes it much easier to keep adding products, designs, and content consistently. That changes the situation a lot. I'm not coming back with only an idea. I'm coming back with new tools, a clearer structure, and a more practical way to execute. About the Previous Murray's Campaign I also want to acknowledge something important. About a year ago, I received support from this community through a FundMe campaign to help push Murray's Store forward: https://fundme.cash/campaign/22 I'm still very grateful for that support. At the same time, I know Murray's did not reach the level of execution I had originally projected. I expected more sales, more promotion, and more commercial activity than I was ultimately able to deliver. I underestimated the scope of what running a store like this requires, I lacked enough structure, and I also ran into unexpected issues that slowed things down more than I wanted. I understand if some people remember that and have doubts. That is fair. But I did not disappear, and I did not stop building. I kept working, I built Munia independently, I improved the tools around Murray's, and now I want to relaunch the project in a more concrete and better organized way. The Next Step The next step is to revitalize Murray's Store properly. That means updating the store, creating more designs, improving the product catalog, producing content, promoting the project, connecting it with Munia, and making BCH part of the customer and community experience. I want this to grow step by step, with visible progress and real use. Not huge promises. Not empty projections. Just work, updates, products, tools, and a practical BCH experiment that can keep improving over time. Why I'm Asking for Support I currently can't fund this whole stage alone. Relaunching the store properly requires time, production work, marketing, content, new designs, and continued development. Right now, most of that work and cost falls directly on me. That is why I'm asking for support from the BCH community. If you believe in builders creating real BCH use cases, if you want to support BCH activity from Argentina, or if you simply want to help Murray's and Munia keep growing, you can donate directly through Munia: https://munia.cash/donaciones You can also leave a positive message. That also means a lot to me and helps me keep going. Testing Munia's Incentive System This is not only a donation request. It is also a way to test Munia's incentive system using BCH. Participants who donate may receive 50% cashback from the pool, distributed proportionally according to their participation each time the pool is completed. Donations can be made starting from 1,000 satoshis, so anyone can try the system with a very small amount before deciding whether to support more. In that sense, this campaign is also a live test of Munia itself: donations, messages, community activity, incentives, and BCH usage working together in one place. Moving Forward I want to keep building and showing progress. I plan to post updates about what was improved, what products were added, what tools were tested, and how the Murray's community on Munia is being used. My goal is to help create more real BCH activity, more practical use, and more examples of what can be built with Bitcoin Cash from places like Argentina. Any support, share, comment, or constructive criticism helps a lot. Thank you to everyone who supported me before, and thank you to those who are willing to join me in this new stage.
