WARNING: ACTIVE COMMUNITY SANCTIONS

The article Bitcoin Cash, along with other pages relating to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, is designated by the community as a contentious topic. The current restrictions are:

Limit of one revert in 24 hours: This article is under WP:1RR (one revert per editor per article per 24-hour period)

Editors who repeatedly or seriously fail to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behaviour, or any normal editorial process may be sanctioned.

Remedy instructions and exemptions

Enforcement procedures:

Violations of any restrictions (excluding 1RR/reverting violations) and other conduct issues should be reported to the administrators' incidents noticeboard. Violations of revert restrictions should be reported to the administrators' edit warring noticeboard.
Editors who violate any listed restrictions may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
An editor must be aware before they can be sanctioned.

With respect to any reverting restrictions:

Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions. In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as clear vandalism.
Clear vandalism of any origin may be reverted without restriction.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors that are not vandalism are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.

If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first. Remember: When in doubt, don't revert!

There have been attempts to recruit editors of specific viewpoints to this article, in a manner that does not comply with Wikipedia's policies. Editors are encouraged to use neutral mechanisms for requesting outside input (e.g. a "request for comment", a third opinion or other noticeboard post, or neutral criteria: "pinging all editors who have edited this page in the last 48 hours"). If someone has asked you to provide your opinion here, examine the arguments, not the editors who have made them. Reminder: disputes are resolved by consensus, not by majority vote.

"Just Like Bitcoin Before It, Cardano Is Banned From Wikipedia". Cointelegraph could not find a Wikipedia article for SpankChain (SPANK). Other projects like Dogecoin (DOGE), GridCoin (GRC), and PotCoin (POT) do have one, however. Most of the top ten projects, including Bitcoin Cash (BCH), have one too.

Update Development Section

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at D. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

COI disclaimer: I currently produce The Bitcoin Cash Podcast. There is no "official" bitcoin cash podcast & we are simply users with interest in the coin, but I figured I just be absolutely clear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.55.189.239 (talk) 21:04, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed only Bitcoin Unlimited is listed under the implementation(s) section. The current node implementations are as follows: BCHN, BCHD, BU, Bitcoin Verde, & Knuth.^[1] Those implementations also have much more recent releases than what is listed, including BU. BCHN is on V24.1.0, updated on May 29th, 2022^[2] BCHD is on v0.19.0, updated on May 05, 2022^[3] BU is on 1.10.0.0, updated on April 5th, 2022^[4] Bitcoin Verde is on v2.2.0, updated on Jan 05, 2022^[5] and lastly, Knuth is on v0.24.0, updated May 5th 2022^[6]

Hi, we are only using high quality WP:RS for all cryptocurrency articles. Things like bloomberg, wsj, fortune.com, etc. We cannot use any contributor sources as well. Thanks! Jtbobwaysf (talk) 21:21, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The current development section contains a single citation to a specific bitcoin unlimited release on gitlab. Should that be completely removed, then? 47.55.189.239 (talk) 21:34, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it could be removed, or you could just update the version. Sometimes these type of non-controversial edits dont get removed. I dont have any big objection to it if is just a version number. Or you could remove it as well if it is confusing. I personally have no idea what version the SW is on Jtbobwaysf (talk) 02:13, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There are zero mainstream articles on this subject and the quality of this Wikipedia page is suffering for it. Why not cite directly from the blockchain which nodes are being used? Surely that would be a reliable source. 2601:283:4602:FE00:A888:66D4:ECA7:A83 (talk) 10:05, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Denied due to unreliable sourcing. Quetstar (talk) 07:24, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

BSV RS

Remarkable a new CNBCTV18 source for the BSV chain. Doesnt address the claim it being the largest blockchain (if true) which would be interesting. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 07:04, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

BSV (I think its Bitcoin Satoshi Vision) is a completely different chain and crypto currency than Bitcoin Cash. It seems off topic to this talking page. TZander (talk) 22:02, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Motive of fork

Would like to change the wording of fork from “fork” to “preservation fork” because the intention was to preserve the bitcoin protocol in the face of a radical change (Lightning IOU system) that is not described by the original white paper. 2601:283:4602:FE00:A888:66D4:ECA7:A83 (talk) 09:55, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
