@KnuthNode Increíble! No veo la hora de jugar y construir algo con Knuth 🙏

[Knuth @KnuthNode]

Knuth Web Node brings a Bitcoin Cash node into your browser.

We added a WebSocket transport to Knuth’s P2P networking. Knuth nodes with WS enabled can accept connections directly from browsers, allowing the C++ core—compiled to WebAssembly—to run locally and participate in the network.

The browser validates and stores block headers locally. It can also download blocks to extract useful information without keeping the entire blockchain. No indexer, Fulcrum server or RPC backend sits between it and the P2P network.

This lays the groundwork for a real browser-based SPV wallet: local header validation, direct peer connections and verification of transaction inclusion.

The screenshot shows Tempnet, where we’re testing nodes with support for CHIP-2025-03: Faster Blocks for Bitcoin Cash—a proposed move to 1-minute blocks for May 2027, still unconfirmed for mainnet.

Finally used @PagoconBit for the first time today to buy an Amazon gift card. Very slick UX! My payment confirmed (0-conf) instantly and I got my gift card about 20 seconds later. Smoothest gift card purchase ever.

And of course, no KYC ;)

[Fran DV @fran__dv]

@kzKallisti @PagoconBit Oh I am really glad you tried it out and enjoyed it. Thank you man! 🫡💚

[Knuth @KnuthNode]

Knuth is on track for the November 15 lock-in of Faster Blocks: 1-minute Bitcoin Cash blocks.

Our CHIP-2025-03 implementation is running on tempnet. We’ve completed full validation from genesis, tested the activation transition, verified results against the CHIP’s reference vectors, and kept up with new blocks.

Live testing also exercised chain reorganizations and helped us find and fix two synchronization bugs, backed by regression tests that fail before each fix and pass afterward.

Testing and review continue as we prepare a compatible release.

Thanks to @Stefany_ETH for getting this started and to @TheBCHPodcast for helping move it forward.

And then you guys did everything you could to block Bitcoin from being usable as cash like the title of Satoshi’s paper described.

💸 Way lower prices and fees.

Our gift card fees are now dynamic and never above 2%. On top of that, a lot of gift cards now cost less than their face value, fee included.

Take Minecraft Java & Bedrock: USD 26.95 of value, and you save over $5 👇

The Bitcoin Cash Podcast #192: PagoConBit & Felicia Endorsements feat. @fran__dv

Fran demos his project @PagoconBit for BCH payments, discussion of 1 minute blocks, whether or not Jev is an AI paradigm shift (sort of) & more.

[BCH Argentina 🇦🇷 @BCHArgentina]

At BCH Argentina, we support CHIP-2025-03 (Faster Blocks)!

Bitcoin Cash was built to be fast, affordable, and accessible to everyone. Moving from 10-minute to 1-minute blocks is another step toward that vision.

Faster confirmations mean a better user experience, more opportunities for DeFi, and new possibilities for the entire BCH ecosystem.

November 2026 is the proposed lock-in, with activation scheduled for May 2027. There's still time to keep testing, refining, and improving the implementation.

Bitcoin Cash must keep evolving to become the world's peer-to-peer electronic cash system.

Let's move BCH forward! 💚

This is incredibly bullish.

Once upon a time, Bitcoin was the center of crypto. Everyone integrated with it immediately because it was the gateway & MoE tying together everything else.

Now it's happening again in BCH. Internal (CashTokens) & external links & activity growing.
