In defense of Bitcoin.com - BEFORE the HEX situation is clarified

There's been recent tension over the seeming promotion of HEX on the bitcoin.com exchange. Yes, I know, listing a coin is not necessarily an endorsement of the coin. But this was not a silent listing. There was a tweet about Bitcoin.com being excited to list HEX and Roger made a friendly appearance on Richard Heart's Livestream to talk about it.

This morning, I saw a YouTube notification for a video from bitcoin.com with the banner title about de-listing HEX. The video is now private, and it seems the situation is unclear as to where bitcoin.com stands on all this.

The situation may shortly be clarified. But BEFORE that happens, I want to make a case for why I won't write off Roger or bitcoin.com, even if they make what I consider a bad decision with HEX.

1) Bitcoin.com has been a great general resource for BCH info, and has been very clear about being "all in" on BCH, even when it got them a lot of hostility in the crypto sphere.

2) Bitcoin.com has done a ton of investment into BCH projects that it releases for free. They habitually improve the BCH ecosystem. How many of us are using the Bitcoin.com wallet?

3) Bitcoin.com provide an amazing developer toolkit, a great REST API and a free WebSocket API. Things I'm building right now are only possible because they have invested in providing those free tools and APIs to support ecosystem growth.

4) it was by watching Roger's videos on YouTube that I was first exposed to the pro-big-blocks side of the scaling debate. I posted economic objections in the YouTube comment section, and Roger answered them in good faith. I might be stuck in a small-block echo chamber without his efforts.

I don't have to agree with every business decision they make. I may even disagree on some particulars at an ethical level. But it's only a very short list of people and organisations on earth who have done more for peer-to-peer electronic cash. I for one choose to be grateful, and see the glass as half full.

Thank you Roger, and the Bitcoin.com crew. I hope you back away from HEX, truly. But even if you don't, I'll still be grateful for all the great help you've given to this movement.

Help redditors| to Identify a gap in the energy sector to build research question (topic blockchain technology

Hi redditors,

I got a project about the Blockchain Technology in the energy sector (case study on the Enerchain blockchain trading platform). Please contribute your words to help me identify a gap in the sector to build research question.

This is the project details.

I needs to identify the gap in studies by getting other people's research work. The overall goal of this thesis is to survey the current development of blockchain application for the energy sector. The focus is put on a case study in the energy sector regarding the mechanism used to distribute transaction. The studies will highlight security, governance, the challenges of implementing blockchain technology in the Energy sector and the opportunity for deploying blockchain solution for the digitalisation with smart meters, micro grids and grid management. This work will adopt initiative of Enerchain Blockchain company platform as a case study. This are some few gap:Smart contract on the blockchain,Hardware storage, security issues, Regulatory aspect, Quantum computers.

Quantum computers and the Bitcoin Blockchain Or: Does Bitcoin (Cash) have a plan to prevent someone with a quantum computer from stealing all p2pk Satoshi coins?

https://www2.deloitte.com/nl/nl/pages/innovatie/artikelen/quantum-computers-and-the-bitcoin-blockchain.html

In my eyes, this is the biggest concern: will unmovable P2PK coins inevitably be stolen by someone who implements Shor's algorithm on a large enough quantum computer?
