How BCH actually gets built and run — node releases, forks, the difficulty algorithm, funding fights. (Spending it goes in BCH in the real world.)

@alberdioni8406 Bitcoin Cash development

When you are builder you never sleep you rest a few moments but get back to work fast😎. I just pushed some updates on https://bchtools.cash : - added CASHRUSH, a new directory and much more. You are invited to visit and enjoy the website. This isn't easy but when you are committed to the space nothing can stop you. Happy day guys. Let's keep building.

@alberdioni8406 Bitcoin Cash development

I just shipped another update to CompassMem on BCHTools, a clean, live window into the Bitcoin Cash mempool that shows pending txs, fee rates, recent blocks, and network health in real time. This update uses full fee data instead of a sample, adds stronger stats (median fee, total value, and more), and polishes the interface while keeping it simple. Give it a shot: https://compass-mem.vercel.app More tools like this can be found on https://bchtools.cash

Opal Wallet campaign is live: what exists, what needs review Opal Wallet's campaign is live now. I posted the X announcement and a short note in BCH Builders, but I am still trying to keep this first push pretty measured. Before I push the campaign much wider, I want more Bitcoin Cash builder review. Short version: Opal is a Swift-native iPhone and Mac wallet for Bitcoin Cash. It is not just a mockup or a landing page. The app already has working wallet creation, restore,…

From Miner to Builder: How I built my own Transparent BCH Solo Mining Node & Co-op Pool 🟩⛏️ Hello, Bitcoin Cash community! My name is Argenis, and I'm writing to you from Venezuela. I've been in the mining space for a while, but I always felt that traditional pools operated like black boxes.

The Machine No One Sees but Everyone Uses There is a part of technology that almost no one sees. Is the kind of tool that works silently, behind every transaction, every wallet or each payment that arrives instantly. The kind of tool that without it, nothing works. A few years ago, while I was writing about BCH ecosystem projects, someone asked me: “But after all, who guarantees that all things work behind BCH? Who builds the ‘engine’ behind the blockchain?” The answer is…

Cash tokens, History and prospects. Cash Tokens are a native token standard built directly into the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) blockchain that enable the creation, transfer, and validation of fungible and non-fungible tokens (FTs and NFTs) on BCH. Unlike earlier token models that sat as layers above BCH (e.g. SLP), Cash Tokens operate at the base layer (via new opcodes and consensus rules), so that token transactions are validated in parallel with standard BCH transfers. Thanks to…

CashFlow Contracts: Proposal for Native Automatic Payments in Bitcoin Cash When we talk about Bitcoin Cash, the narrative often revolves around efficiency, low costs, and transaction speed.
