Transaction speed was always an issue, which is now resolved with Bitcoin Cash.
#bitcoinCashIsTheRealBitcoin

Bigger blocks, that’s the solution to scaling.

It was an issue, but not strictly always. 0-conf used to be standard for many transactions. Even if not the standard, since 1 "confirmation" is always a lot more secure.

The BitClub Network is great. As Joby says, don't buy the milk; buy the cow. Here is a referral for those interested in checking it out.

Is there a blog or something that keeps us up to date on the new features being added to the Bitcoin.com wallet?

Why did u scam so many people by creating bitcoin cash hype?

Because Bitcoin Cash is Bitcoin:

Lol

Lyin' Ver is the only person who has forked the Bitcoin code trying to supplant Bitcoin with his underhanded tactics.

Just like a con-man, he's willing to risk other people's money - but not his own. He still owns more Bitcoin than BCash -- because he knows his altfork isn't a "sure thing".

absulotely right he is scammer.

Lyin' Ver and the Cashies are at it again.

We're nearing a full year since BCash alt-forked, and their transaction volume is still abysmal -- http://fork.lol/tx/txs

53 an hour, versus 700+ for Bitcoin -- talk about a world of difference.

After Lyin' Ver's "muh high fees" narrative got busted in the chops -- http://fork.lol/tx/fee -- he quickly pivoted to the Lightning network, trying to smear that effort and calling it every name he could think of.

Too bad Lyin' Ver isn't too technically oriented, or he'd know the things tumbling from his ex-convict lips were not even close.

And today - RIGHT NOW - there are people transacting on Lightning like this:

42 transactions with the whopping total cost of 4.9 cents - TOTAL.

But Lyin' Ver doesn't want SegWit - he doesn't want Lightning - all he does want is willing followers so he can dupe them all.

Happy Almost Anniversary -- you've lost, and you're going to continue to lose.

I love hearing all this humour especially when talking about seriously dark-grey matters! ;) Much appreciated! You guys were so funny. It is also very interesting to learn about the all these news, wicked. Still watching, wearing a big smile...

Namaste :)

Can God give me some praise and attention? Grateful!

That "BCH supporter" who took the tank is one of the founders of ZClassic.

Your thoughts are mindblowing

That is amazing!!............

I’m buying BCH in every dip.

BCH needs to stop the double spend problem but I always watch news that are crypto in Japan oriented.

There is very little of a problem currently. It's mainly that people don't know how to read and judge 0-conf double spends. Some of them should be expected and do not signal anything abnormal.

However there is a concern with potential sub 0 sat/byte transactions, which can be used to exploit a payment later sent to a merchant. It's not been used a lot or potentially even once as far as I know, but it could be and there have been some suggestions on how to fix it.

In either case I hope there can be a move to sub-blocks or similar to entirely remove almost any potential 0-conf concern.

There are only two ethnicities in the world with the last name of Ver. Philipino and Hungarian. I'll let you guess which one is the origin of my last name.

Philipino obv XD
