On May 5th, I will go to Chongqing to attend the BCH offline party. Wang Xiaoli, COO of Inchain Technology, is also in Chongqing. I want to go to her to eat hot pot by the way. Unfortunately, she was going to Beijing to participate in the Nuls Cup Blockchain Application Design Competition that day. I heard that they have prepared 100 million yuan to fund a good DAPP development team.
Over the past few weeks, I've seen a lot of projects run hackathon-like dev competitions.
On April 17th, TRON announced that it would launch a one-month programming contest to seek winners of three types of applications: cold wallets, hot wallets, and blockchain browsers that are compatible with the TRON mainnet. TRON has prepared a $2 billion prize for these winners, and programmers will no longer have to go to Weibo to blackmail others.
On April 20th, when the community was hotly discussing EOS, Xunlei released the blockchain application that benchmarked EOS's million-level concurrent processing capability - Xunlei Chain, and simultaneously announced the launch of the "2018 Xunlei Global Blockchain Application Competition". ".
They have prepared a million-dollar bonus to encourage outstanding projects and individuals who can be creative in the fields of blockchain + public welfare, medical care, education, social networking, transportation, commodity identification, copyright and other fields.
Looking at this one application contest, I can't figure it out.
Why doesn't the BCH community have similar competitions? Are we short of money? Do we look like the million dollar difference? Are we short of hundreds of millions of bonuses?
I really don't understand. Are we really short of money?
Until noon today, when I saw this Weibo post by Lao Liu, the founder of Bizan, I was struck by thunder and instantly enlightened!
The reason why the BCH community did not hold similar events is
because amount of bonuses prepared is not enough.
There are too many talents in the BCH community!
There are so many applications! No matter how rich you are, whoever organizes similar events will go bankrupt.
On Valentine’s Day on February 14 this year, Lao Liu, the founder of Bikan, gave a gift to the community—the Weibo reward robot Bizan. At that time, a user named "Mi Laotou Adam" on Weibo made me receive the first BCH reward in my life. I find it very interesting! You can also use cryptocurrency as a reward on Weibo.
Then I started to urge my friends to study Bizan quickly and give me a reward when they learn it. Now we are all accustomed to using Bizan to make rewards on Weibo, and some people even bring this habit into WeChat. . .
At the end of March, after Cointext came out, I tried to send a text message to a friend in the United States to transfer 1 USD. Amazing! Playing it once was not fun at all, and I made another $1 for my friend in South Africa. Thief cool! I feel that I am very foreign, and instantly kills the post-00s who call me old aunt every day.
In April, after the online jukebox Jukebox came out, we can use BCH to play our favorite songs online and enjoy the high-definition uncensored human chest device.
In April, Memo was born, and we started to use BCH to post Weibo to show our love. Sometimes I come close to believing that I stand for absolute freedom of speech, and that I can bet on it. This new social experience has inspired more BCH enthusiasts: hwind has developed a medium version of Memo, wewo; ansib has launched a temo application that counts memo data.
Everything is spontaneous.
On May 15th, the BCH hard fork upgrade will expand the opcode OP-RETURN to 220 bytes. At that time, these BCH enthusiasts do not know how many interesting applications they will come up with.
When I used to ask others about technologies such as Segregated Witness, Lightning Network, etc., I always complained: Why do Core developers always make things that ordinary people can't understand? While my friend said I was stupid, he kept checking information on the Internet, and now he is now learning and selling to answer my questions.
In contrast, the application of the BCH community can be described as truly user-friendly, as simple as possible, as low as possible for handling fees, and to minimize the experience threshold. If you don't have BCH, but want to experience a new payment method, you can go to free.bitcoin.com to claim a small amount of free BCH.
I think there is one thing that might make me especially proud in the future:
all my friends bought BCH because of my "advocacy"
