Kim Dotcom: I’ve been working closely with a couple of whales including Roger here and some others on some big picture stuff.
The following is a transcript of a video call which took place on Bitcoin Cash (BCH) Day - August 1st, 2021 - (BCH's fourth anniversary).
"So were trying to get massive retailers to adopt BCH and integrate it into their POS (point of sale) systems. We are in talks with a number of countries to make BCH an alternative currency.
"We’ve already had a number of calls including a finance minister of an African nation and so our goal is really to make sure that BCH becomes the leader in digital money and we do that in many different ways.
"We’re identifying potential killer apps, investing into them, funding developer teams that are taking these projects to fruition.
According to the Coin.Dance website most of the eCash (XEC) blocks found within the last several days were mined on the Zulu Pool.
...the Zulu Pool is a "HathorMM" Pool. The "MM" after Hathor stands for merged mining (in other words, you can mine different coins at the same time without additional work or electricity).
The coins being merged mined need to use the same mining algorithm. Hathor (HTR) is a cryptocurrency / proof-of-work blockchain which uses the same mining algorithm as eCash (XEC).
I decided to try out the Zulu Pool with a s9i Antminer mining machine.
...Fast forward to July 1st, 2021: BCHA rebrands and becomes eCash (XEC)...
What is eCash? I’ve only just begun looking further into eCash (XEC) but I think the following, in my own words, describes it:
Did you send an insufficient transaction fee (miner fee)? Miners not mining your bitcoin transaction? Bitcoin network congestion? Is your transaction stuck in the mempool for hours, days or weeks?
You can thank Blocktstream and TPTB (the powers that be) for that (bitcoin small block size).
What can be done about stuck (unconfirmed) bitcoin transactions in the year 2021? Sometimes the transaction will confirm with time after miners have mined the higher fee'd transactions. If not, your transaction will automatically be returned to your bitcoin address (or the address you sent from) if it remains unconfirmed for 14 days.
You also have the option to pay a mining pool to mine your stuck bitcoin transaction. Mining pools BTC.com and ViaBTC.com both offer transaction accelerators.
