Bitcoin Cash: Blockchain.info Launches Bitcoin Cash Support, Users Cry For SegWit

vichetuc (3)in #bitcoin • 6 years ago

Popular Bitcoin wallet provider Blockchain.info has announced it has now given “full support” to Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

In a blog post today, Blockchain confirmed that a Bitcoin fork, Bitcoin Cash, had become one of its wallet’s main currencies alongside Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

“In November, we revealed our plan to deliver on the growing demand we’ve seen for Bitcoin Cash,” the post explains.

“Starting today, we’re supporting Bitcoin Cash with full functionality through the same web wallet[.]”

Blockchain.info’s initial run with BCH saw users gain the ability to ‘unlock’ duplicate balances earmarked on the fork date Aug. 1. Now, trading in and out has the same setup as with the wallet’s other two supported coins.

No mobile support is yet available, but it’s promised to appear by the end of Q1 2018.

BCH meanwhile remains a contentious topic, with its principle advocate Roger Ver continuing to cause controversy with comments aimed at casting doubt on the reputation of BTC.

An appearance by Ver on CNBC this week spurred criticism from prominent personalities including Max Keiser, who hit back at what he called “borderline fraud” BCH and the network’s choice of Ver as a Bitcoin spokesman.

Blockchain.info has also faced a backlash from some sources over its prioritizing BCH features while so far failing to implement SegWit for its transactions.

The issue came to light again following the latest announcement, with venture capitalist Alan Silbert and others openly asking CEO Peter Smith why the technology had not yet appeared in his wallet.

Our gift to you - introducing #BitcoinCash w/full support in the @blockchain wallet. Now you can send, request, & exchange btw BTC/ETH/BCH from one place! 🎉🎁🎉 https://t.co/wah83Ghu1r

Woff, woff!

Hello @vichetuc, We have met 56 times already!

I'm a guide dog living in KR community. I can see that you want to contribute to KR community and communicate with other Korean Steemians. I really appreciate it and I'd be more than happy to help.

KR tag is used mainly by Koreans, but we give warm welcome to anyone who wish to use it. I'm here to give you some advice so that your post can be viewed by many more Koreans. I'm a guide dog after all and that's what I do!

Tips:

If you're not comfortable to write in Korean, I highly recommend you write your post in English rather than using Google Translate.
Unfortunately, Google Translate is terrible at translating English into Korean. You may think you wrote in perfect Korean, but what KR Steemians read is gibberish. Sorry, even Koreans can't understand your post written in Google-Translated Korean.
So, here's what might happen afterward. Your Google-Translated post might be mistaken as a spam so that whales could downvote your post. Yikes! I hope that wouldn't happen to you.
If your post is not relevant to Korea, not even vaguely, but you still use KR tag, Whales could think it as a spam and downvote your post. Double yikes!
If your post is somebody else's work(that is, plagiarism), then you'll definitely get downvotes.
If you keep abusing tags, you may be considered as a spammer. It may result to put you into the blacklist. Oops!

I sincerely hope that you enjoy Steemit without getting downvotes. Because Steemit is a wonderful place. See? Korean Steemians are kind enough to raise a guide dog(that's me) to help you!

Woff, woff! 🐶
