MakerDAO on Bitcoin Cash

Developer Tobias Ruck takes a deep dive into the possibility of building a MakerDAO-type arrangement on the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) network. A DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) acts within a blockchain. The Maker aspect on Ethereum theoretically lessens price volatility, in this case of the stablecoin, DAI.

Stablecoins claim to be pegged usually to a fiat currency like the dollar. The idea is to be able to hold a coin without losing purchasing power, a real issue for merchants especially. Maker, in its current form, allows everyone to leverage Ethereum assets to make DAI. That DAI can then be used as a medium of exchange or store of value. There’s even a case to be made for using the process as a form of margin trading.

How that shakes out onto Bitcoin Cash is at least an interesting thought experiment. “Some of the proposed features are already on the Bitcoin Cash roadmap, and some will be really controversial, but I think it’s better to shoot for the moon and miss than to aim for the mud and hit,” Ruck insisted.

Speaking of Tobias Ruck

CashProof by @TobiasRuck is huge! I spent a lot of time manually verifying that my optimisations were in fact equivalent to the original unoptimised expressions. With CashScript I can just put all these expressions into a .equiv file, and get a proof of their equivalence 🎉🎉 https://t.co/MJoxG41VDb — Rosco Kalis (@RoscoKalis) September 17, 2019

Bitcoin Unlimited CPFP Outperforms Core

Are you sure? https://t.co/Y8SLMEn0jq This is a new implementation of CPFP that outperform the Core's by 2 order of magnitude. It got merged and will be included in the next BU release, 1.7.0, available by the end of Sept. This is graph plotting process time vs chain length https://t.co/MEjOngjBJn pic.twitter.com/1dFtusNGa0 — sickpig (@sickpig) September 17, 2019

SLP Token Launch a Snap

It was so simple to launch a token on $BCH, I created our $WEBSITE token here, https://t.co/gX8kmJwsNK Send me your SLP Address so I can send you some! — $jeff ₿ 🔑🇦🇺🇵🇭 (@jeffreyrufino) September 10, 2019

Bitcoin ABC Lead Dev on ProgPoW

As I told @VitalikButerin and several others, I do not have a strong opinion on ProgPoW, but you do not want to allow the people behind it to get influence in the ETH community. If some of its properties are desired, just make something from scratch sharing these properties. https://t.co/WRovDH8kNr — deadalǹ͔͜͡i͎̜͖͗̎͞x̛̳̠̤̥̦̉̊̕̕ (@deadalnix) September 13, 2019

Bitcoin Cash Telegram Tipping Reborn

Bitcoin Unlimited 50,000 tx/sec Generator

Great work by BU lead developer @GAndrewStone on this transaction generation tool capable of producing 50,000 tx/sec! I can't wait for the next round of experiments on the Gigablock Testnet. https://t.co/81cK2tkSFT — Peter R. Rizun (@PeterRizun) September 15, 2019
