<strong>Nandibear's thoughts on Episode 8:</strong>

<center><h2>Friday (June 22) at the Tokyo, Japan office!</h2></strong></center>

In this new episode (#8) of Roger Ver's weekly Bitcoin roundup show we are introduced to a new member of the BCH Gang, <strong>Alfonso Rocha</strong> (Bitcoin.com Wallet lead developer)!

Lots to discuss including, though not limited to, the following:

- <a href="https://www.centbee.com/">Centbee</a>, a new Bitcoin Cash (BCH) wallet in South Africa.

- There's long road map ahead for the Bitcoin.com wallet <strong>(apparently some big surprises are arriving soon!)</strong>

- The Bitcoin Cash mempool got up to 30MB recently (max block size is 32MB, and most pools at the moment are only configured for up to 8MB blocks).

- <a href="https://bitcoinsubway.cash/">Bitcoinsubway.cash</a> (a new site to visualize the contrast between the crowded <strong>BTC mempool (1MB blocks)</strong> vs <strong>BCH mempool (32MB blocks)</strong>. Note: dot Cash domains are becoming very popular!

- The decentralized marketplace <a href="https://www.openbazaar.org/">OpenBazzar</a> is mentioned (buy and sell with Bitcoin Cash)!

- Btw, if anyone reading here would like to join <strong>OpenBazzar</strong> (as a buyer, seller or moderator) I recommend downloading the dapp (decentralized application) and then connecting only through TOR (you wont type anything in the Tor browser itself, or view anything within the Tor browser itself, but the dapp will connect through Tor). If you connect just one time without TOR your IP addresses will forever be known as being associated with your OpenBazaar peer ID (you could of course start over and get another ID of course). In any event, Linux is probably the easiest way to use the dapp with Tor but there are some very helpful videos tutorials out there for setting everything up on Windows.

- <strong>Lightning Network (LN)</strong> is discussed. It's not working and even if it was we don't want off-chain transactions. Roger Ver indicates that he is interested in the Lightning Network but more so as interesting technology.

I agree. <strong>Perhaps we can find a different use case for LN?</strong> Maybe we can find some other use case for Lightning Network other than destroying Bitcoin. Maybe it (or at least some part of LN) could be used, somehow, at exchange sites?

- <strong>Inflation in Venezuela</strong> is discussed. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) would be most useful in Venezuela right now and would make a gimungous difference!

I've seen some remarks online indicating that paper money is being weighed, rather than counted. I hope it's not really that bad yet but I don't doubt that this might be happening.

- <a href="https://bitpay.com/">Bitpay.com</a> is mentioned. They've been accepting Bitcoin Cash (BCH) payments for a while now, and that's excellent! However, apparently on the backend they aren't paying merchants (or anyone else using their invoice service) in Bitcoin Cash (BCH).

Hey Bitpay, rather than converting the BCH into BTC or USD please add an option for BCH payout!

Let's start setting up <strong>BCH meetups</strong> (anywhere, everywhere)! Need help with this? Please contact <strong>jason@bitcoin.com</strong> or <strong>chris@bitcoin.com</strong>
