Unmanaged funds platform Flipstarter raises funds for Eat BCH
The Flipstarter team, created by volunteers in the community last month, is now operational and the platform aims to be an unmanaged funding application similar to Mike's Lighthouse project. Flipstarter selected the community's favorite Eat BCH project as the first fundraising event, and plans to launch a fund-raising for a one-month public welfare event in Venezuela and South Sudan. In addition, Flipstarter also plans to raise USD 500,000 before May 2. Currently, it only raises funds for six full-node teams including Bitcoin ABC, BCHD, Bitcoin Cash Node, Bitcoin Unlimited, Bitcoin Verde, and Flowee, without any conditions. Flipstarter's application is a plug-in for Electron Cash, with an expected completion date of March 7.
Tips.bitcoin.com supports sending BCH to others via email
Tips.bitcoin.com can send BCH to others through paper tickets or emails, which avoids the privacy issues that coinbase introduced last month to send cryptocurrencies to other e-wallet users using short usernames. The sender follows the instructions on the webpage, enters their BCH refund address, and after the specified expiry time, the uncollected tip will be automatically expired and returned. After the user has paid one or more tips, a link will appear. After copying the link, the user sends it to the recipient via email, and the recipient enters his BCH address to receive the tip.
Ghana Bitcoin Cash House
The Bitcoin Cash House in Ghana announced that it has found a liquidity provider to provide services such as currency exchange to local residents, and the pilot project will operate on March 1. They help local merchants and merchants perform currency food conversions in Ghanaian fiat, Tamari (Ghana's traditional food) and BCH. In the future, we plan to guide our partners to use and accept USDH (BCH-based stablecoin), and improve the bchghana.org website to help users find businesses in the region that can use BCH.
Supporters build BCH-enabled self-hosted platform Bitcartcc
BCH proponents created Bitcartcc as a self-hosted open source payment processor as an alternative to the decentralized payment processing service company BTCPay, making it easy for merchants to accept BCH. It is reported that the platform was created because the developers behind the application Btcpay refused to add support for BCH. Developers say that users can get rid of the trouble of third-party payment platforms for as little as $ 3.5 per month (or even cheaper).
