BCHgallery


-On March 27, a developer, Pokkst released a different kind of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) application called Bchgallery, an Android BCH wallet that is disguised as a generic photo gallery app.

-The platform aims to provide added security through obscurity by acting as a decoy application.

-Pokkst was a big BTC fan at one time and explained in a recent blog post that he “had high hopes for the Lightning Network.”

-However, Pokkst now considers the Lightning Network an “over-engineered mess.

-Trying to walk someone through depositing Bitcoin to a wallet, opening a channel and routing the payment through the network, then explaining why larger payments do not route well will kill adoption of the Lightning Network, despite the best intentions of current competing implementations of the protocol.

-He is not against the Lightning Network, but he thinks that the entire system itself could have been designed so so so much better than how it currently is.

-He is not opposed to larger blocks, to an extent.  He sees 32MB currently as a reasonable block limit in terms of transactions-per-second and the cost of HDD space per GB. 128MB is currently too much (assuming blocks are full) and not really needed at the moment.

-Not to mention the hypocrisy. The biggest issue that stands out to him is that he agrees that we need to keep blocks small to keep nodes decentralized.  However, why keeping 1MB block size limit , when the transaction fees have already come down from  $50+ dollars in transaction fees (in 2017) and roughly $1.00 in transaction fees in 2019?   


-Wendy:   maybe that’s why Cobra Commander said during the test, corporations found BCH is preferred than LTC for sending payments.

20191007-New Russian Payment System to Avoid USD

Jim Rickard（ New Russian Payment System Avoids U.S. Dollar ）: -There is a new secure payments channel between Russia and Iran. This channel does not use dollars and allows Russia to sell weapons to Iran and for Iran to hide reserves in Russia, free of U.S. sanctions and U.S. interdiction. -Now Russia has unveiled an even more ambitious payments system.   This new system will provide services similar to SWIFT (the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication), which is the leading bank message traffic facility in the world today for funds transfers. -In recent years, SWIFT has become politicized. Iran was banned from using SWIFT from 2012–16. Certain Iranian banks were banned from SWIFT again in 2018. -Russia has never been banned from SWIFT, but the mere possibility gives Russia a large incentive to create an alternative payments system not subject to U.S. control. With this announcement, Russia is getting closer to that goal. -The new Russian system may quickly be ...

20190114-Bitmain-BTC goes down to $1800?

Crypto Cowboy: Problem with BTC space – centralization of the BTC.       The 6 biggest mining companies in the world are calling the shots and they are mostly Chinese.   Also big banks are entering the space.    Right now it looks like Bitmain is going down. Bitmain – has gone through a lot changes due to price volatility, political pressure, regulations 。。。 -Two CEO/founders are going to step down. -closing its 500 million project in Austin, Texas -closing its Israeli research and development office  -cutting up to 50 percent of its staff  Probably because of it, there are a lot of big dormant wallets (50 – 100+ BTC) that are becoming active and more on the selling side.    However, a lot of these wallets are active in the OTC market not retail but their activity might still affect the prices in the retail markets.   So in the short-term, BTC price might even go down to $1800 .   If it does, Crypto Cowboy thinks it’s a go...
