Bcashers 🤦♂️
Reading Time: 5 minutes After the XEC/BCH split, I was pretty much kicked out of all the main BCH telegram channels. I’m not complaining. That’s their prerogative.

The IFP: 8% v. 32%
Reading Time: 6 minutes It was recently revealed that the eCash infrastructure funding plan (IFP) would be going from 8% of the block reward, to 32% of the block reward.
