So far as I can tell, the subject is new software in the cryptocurrency realm. It's hard to find any coverage outside of niche websites and certainly not enough to pass WP:GNG. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:17, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reddit, blogs, and other questionable websites. Please let me know when The New York Times writes about this. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:58, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If we have to remove all articles about bitcoin nodes or even about software if New York Times doesn't talk about it in a month after its creation, we have a lot to remove. Moreover "bcash" word was used for years as a disrespectful name trying to redirect people interested in Bitcoin Cash to the subreddit r/bcash where they are trolled and misinformed on purpose. People who do this even think that "Bitcoin" is a name of their property, while it's not a trademark or registered in any way. They only do this to Bitcoin Cash and not to Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Private or other variants, probably because of fear to its competition as Bitcoin XT did in the past (being attacked too).

Keep: Previously, it was redirecting to Bitcoin Cash, and this is a mistake. Some people try to refer to Bitcoin Cash as "bcash" in a disrespectful way, so these trolls will continue creating the page again and again with the same redirect and confusing people. Maybe a disambiguation page would be a good solution, because it has different meanings for different people. Also it could refers to some international companies. Wikipedia shouldn't be used as a weapon for misinformation. Is better a short article than a mistaken redirect. Rutrus (talk) 02:10, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
