BCH is like a child, constantly picking up the toys that have been thrown away by core and wiping it carefully to make the toys shine. BCH hard bifurcation in May increased the op-return byte data, BCH constantly restored some of the ideas that had not been supported in the BTC in the past, so that these excellent code and application revived. In recent days, another extremely important application is being re-developed.
LightHouse (Lighthouse) is a decentralized crowdfunding application, somewhat similar to the kickstarter, first proposed by Mike Hearn in 2014 and released on the BTC. LightHouse should be a crowdfunding website platform designed for companies and individuals with creative solutions. The creative program can be the development of BCH related infrastructure, including hot and cold wallets, browsers, etc., as well as some practical landing applications. For example, there are creative and outstanding projects in various fields such as music, film and television, education and social networking.
The LightHouse website was launched to motivate innovative and creative activities through which the public is recruited to the BCH so that creative people may be able to obtain the funds they need to enable them to realize their own ideas and promote BCH development.
On April 17th, Tron announced the launch of a programming contest for more than a month, looking for wallets and block browsers suitable for Tron, and preparing billions of dollars in bonuses. On April 20, Thunder Chain also announced the launch of “2018. The Thunder Global Blockchain Application Contest” also prepares huge bonuses for excellent projects and individuals. Comparing these practices funded by the project owners to search for ideas, I also appreciate LightHouse in the BCH community. This approach is more liberal and the threshold is relatively low. It is easier to bring forth outstanding ideas and ideas, and it also helps to improve the vitality of the BCH community. The emergence of LightHouse will provide a way for some community people who have ideas, ability and lack of funds, and will undoubtedly accelerate the overall development of BCH.
In the recent past, applications based on BCH have been overwhelming, with Jukebox.cash, a music-aware application, memo and blockpress, decentralized social software, and various software toolkits developed by developers. In the BCH community, not only developers, but also some enthusiasts and supporters are also contributing their own strengths to the development of BCH. They are completely self-financing development and application development. It can be seen that the development of BCH is no longer a group or A regional issue has evolved into a worldwide consensus.
It is worth mentioning that bitcoin cash price has exceeded 1,800 US dollars in the past two days. Some people say that bitcoin.com has induced investors to buy BCH, causing prices to rise. But I would like to say that the continuous development and application of bitcoin cash to create a blockchain ecology is also an important reason for the price increase.
