If Bitcoin Cash forks - who are the developers that will work on the "non-funded" chain? Introduce yourselves if you like.

Who are the developers that will be developing on the fork of Bitcoin Cash if a split happens?

Bitcoin Cash is the best cryptocurrency IMHO. Whether I like this funding issue or not, I am not a miner so I don't have a say. As a user I don't see how this is going to affect me.

If someone worries that if miners can do A then they will do B, well I will wait until B happens before having a melt-down. Otherwise it is known as being on a slippery slope.

What I see happening is that developing Bitcoin Cash into a global peer to peer currency is getting funded and I like that!

How can the BCH developer fund not happen?

How can the BCH developer fund not happen? The one that claims 12.5% of all mined blocks.

Jiang Zhuoer, Jihan Wu, Haipo Yang, Roger Ver and Amaury Sechet are all in favour of it.

I just can't see how this will not happen if all those people are in favour.

"Oh, look, another troll!"

I really enjoy the open discussion about the new dev funding proposal (which I personally find, at least in this form, not to be so good of an idea), but it always bugs me how some of you guys preffer to just call anyone you disagree with a troll and immiedietly assume he/she is part of a new "attack of BCH", instead of at least trying to engage in a civilized discussion first.

Sure, some people you disagree with may post from new accounts and have shitty karma, but they often still have some valid arguments. Calling them "trolls" does not refute them, it just makes it look like they cannot be reasonably countered, that's why you fallback to name-calling, generalizing and trying to divide the community into the "good guys" (those that agree with you) and the trolls/attackers.

It's funny because sometimes the same people who practice this "troll-labeling" and reject the opportunity to have any open discussion at all, also act as if they value and defend it. That's not how you do it. Trying to silence valid arguments by de-humanizing people who present them and acting as if discussion with them "does not make any sense anyway" (before even trying!) is almost as bad as censorship itself. It's just one little step before you say: "Let's just ban all those people who push this agenda, since they obviously are just trolling and bring nothing of value to this sub". Maybe you'd even do it if you had the power to...

I think such behavior does not get enough opposition here and too often people try to justify it, sometimes using examples of some actual trolling that happend in the past. Let's stop confusing valid opposition with trolling.

Tax is a loaded word. /r/bitcoin is enjoying this.

There are miner rewards and there should be developer rewards. The word tax is just pushing a characterization. You may as well say miners are taxing bch holders by getting the issuance reward. Why doesn't it just go to all coin holders? Don't be fooled by this narrative shifting attempt. You are rewarded for work. That's just the way it is. Right now devs haven't been rewarded but miners have. If that doesn't change, BCH won't compete.

Just updating, 621 BTC were traded using LocalBitcoin last week in Venezuela (up from 614), where minimum wage is 5 USD per month. Yes, Venezuela. One BTC is 643,000,000 Bs. (Bolivares). AMA.

These volumes are only measured using Localbitcoin (LBTC) using their API (Coindance). Big part of that exchange come from Venezuelans that live abroad and send money to their families, miners, people that get paid in cryptos (freelancing) and even the own government. It is around 2400 BTC per month now. Weekly record was February 2019, 2400 BTC only one week.

Today exchange rate is around 1 USD = 75,000 Bs. (Official rate is almost the same, 74,600 Bs.)

Minimum wage (which is earned by a big chuck of the population, not like other countries) is 250,000 Bs. wage (less than 3 USD) + 200,000 Bs. food bonus (less than 3 USD) PER MONTH. Increased from 150,000 Bs. and 150,000 Bs.

Biggest bank note is 50,000 Bs. which is around 1 USD. You need to use debit and credit, bank transfer, cryptos and USD to pay anything.

Here in Venezuela situation is really hard, some people dont believe that amount is the minimum MONTHLY wage. I work and earn more than that (anyway, the amount is really low, I'm sure with that amount I would be living homeless in Colombia, Peru or Panama for example), usually get some donations from redditors and do some freelancing work (translating mostly) and it is really hard to keep up daily.
