Twetch has had 145k visitors in the last 3 months. Of them, 2,000 people made paying transactions.
In the legacy ad world, the visitors are the valuable number. On Twetch, active users are defined as paying customers making on-chain transactions.
This number may seem small, but this is a thwarted view. We are so accustomed to insanely high numbers of fake meaningless data when it comes to software products.
Twetch, and all of the products we create, is a raw grassroots movement of honesty and truth in data. Our people get the raw vision with no padded stats or sugarcoating.
You can't get this experience anywhere else. Where the founders are actively listening to the users. Where customer ideas are actively produced and help to mold and shape the product. Where you see numbers on the screen that aren't fake or paid for.
Twetch users can see the growth in real time - it's right there on the feed, it's in the volume charts, it's in the liquidity when they list something for sale. They helped shape the product, so there's ownership there, there's loyalty there.
Of course we want to grow faster and bigger, but not at the cost of our values. We'd rather have a few good users than a million scammers.
It's the coolest thing in the world to see a grassroots movement of honest people doing honest business. It shouldn't go unstated that this is especially insane in crypto – where the biggest apps have 99% of their users underwater getting rugged by the people they trusted to grow the memecoin for example.
Twetch is bringing raw, unfiltered honesty to a space and industry that is riddled with pvp scams. We are proud of that, and extremely grateful to our users that also believe in honesty in business and trade.
Thank you all. Onward and upward.

Exchange PSA: Split your coins asap, otherwise you will probably lose some/all ECX, to transaction replay !
The split guide: eCash.com/split
Those exchanges that are slow to implement replay protection, are facing a potential nightmare.
Of course, given that...
- I explained this >6 months ago
- There were two whole, live, test networks to practice on
- There was already one big delay
...I'm not sure how much sympathy we should have.
If you don't care about your ECX, then I can't force you to care! It's your net worth that will go down, not mine.
Roughly 30 hours to go!

Work hard, stay sober, and go to church

I’ve always liked the idea of Drivechains.
Sidechains are an exciting way to do all kinds of cool things in a bitcoin context, and I support anyone that stands up to the Core Cabal.
Could be an interesting time in bitcoin coming up with lots of competing ideas again!
How did a decade of sidechain research and Bitcoin debate end in a fork?
It started with Drivechains, @Truthcoin’s proposal to connect Bitcoin to sidechains.
Here’s the eCash (ECX) backstory, explained 🤓

Between Proof of Work and Proof of Podcast lies a dimension where people actually ship.

Bitcoin Hard Fork: eCash Beta Is Live
Bitcoin's biggest limitation has always been change itself. New functionality means years of soft fork debate, while L1 stays intentionally frozen to protect the monetary base.
Drivechains (BIP 300/301) fix this: sidechains pegged to BTC, independent of L1. Succeed, and Bitcoin gains new utility and fee revenue. Fail, and L1 is untouched.
eCash is the first real network built on this model, and Alpha proved it. Hashrate hit 9.44 PH/s, 7 independent pools mined blocks, and the community shipped a bunch of tools unprompted:
1/ pecx.shop / peesex.shop - first pECX↔BTC AMM, built in days
2/ szats.world - pECX faucet, hit by proxy farmers within hours
3/ explorer.alpha.ecash.ninja - the first block explorer
4/ eCashPool & NurseryPool - community mining pools, one paying out in Thunder on principle
5/ ecashmeter.com - drivechain fee tracker, flipped live weeks early
6/ The eCash Splitter - official coin-splitting tool, GUI + CLI, shipped mid-alpha
New drivechains proposed. Blind merge mining tested live. Consensus bugs diagnosed by block height and root cause, faster than most funded eng teams manage.
Beta is now live: ecash.com/join
Beta improves the pECX burn rate 👉 1,000 pECX → 20 real ECX (up from 10 in Alpha)
The pECX tokens are in addition, not instead of the original 1:1 airdrop. Every BTC holder still gets ECX 1:1 at full launch on October 31 regardless. Burning pECX now is a bonus on top of that, extra ECX for showing up early.
Receiving and splitting:
Hold BTC non-custodially at the fork block, you get equal ECX automatically, nothing moves or converts. eCash uses opt-in protection, not built-in, so every wallet and exchange keeps working on day one, but that means until you split, moving BTC could move your ECX too.
Splitting is a one-time fix, three ways to do it, two are one-tap in official eCash software, the third uses standard Bitcoin tooling only.
BTC on an exchange? You can't split yourself. We're in touch with exchanges about crediting ECX, or you can withdraw to self-custody before Oct 31 and split it yourself.

Bitcoin's base layer stays untouched. Everything else is fair game.

I’ve seen enough proof. Craig Wright is clearly Satoshi Nakamoto.
There's a new $70 million dollar film titled, "BITCOIN," that is in postproduction.
Gal Gadot, Casey Affleck, Pete Davidson, Isla Fisher.
Good news and Bad News:
Good news first:
This will put Bitcoin front-and-center with major stars in a an actual, "big" movie (not just a documentary).
Doug Liman directs.
He did The Bourne Identity, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, The Edge of Tomorrow, and even Swingers (when I met him).
He's incredible. I expect the direction (so meaning the acting) will be exceptional. Top-notch.
This might be one of the first AI films but where all of the acting and performances are 100% actors.
Meaning, they saved money on sets and lighting by filming in an empty warehouse, theater style. A.I. creates the environments.
This would have been a $200 million+ movie otherwise.
Okay now BAD NEWS:
This film is the Craig Wright story!
Gal Gadot plays a journalist who is hired by Pete Davidson (playing crypto investor Calvin Ayre) to investigate Casey Affleck (playing Craig Wright).
If you're newer to Bitcoin and have been hiding under a rock, you may have missed that Craig Wright claimed he was Satoshi Nakamoto 🤣🤡
This went to court where the evidence was overwhelming that he defrauded and lied to the court with an abundance of forged documents.
He was suing both Peter McCormack and Magnus Granath (Hodlonaut) for years, simply for claiming he was not Satoshi.
In short, the court declared Craig was not Satoshi, did not write the Bitcoin white paper, and did not code any of its software.
Based on the film's premise, the movie is going to skew toward Craig Wright being Satoshi. How could he not be Satoshi if a coalition of tech billionaires, governments, and crypto organizations spent hundreds of millions just to discredit him? That will be the narrative.
A.I. versions of Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Jack Dorsey appear in the film.
So if Bitcoiners were expecting a balanced or honest portrayal of Bitcoin's beginnings... this isn't it.
And I get why as a story-teller. If you set Bitcoin aside, it's a compelling narrative to focus on the misunderstood "genius" who gave the world perfect money but no one will believe him.
Yet, Bitcoiners know this is flat out false.
Oh... on top of all of this, the film is partially financed by... (drumroll)... Calvin Ayre! Calvin has been Craig Wright's main benefactor over the years and the most prominent supporter/promoter of Craig as Satoshi.
So although a huge budget with A-list stars... it's really an indie movie made by Calvin Ayre about Craig Wright.
As of this post there's no major domestic distributor outside of some international sales.
I expect it to be a good film from a filmmaking aspect. But I'm bummed that the first big Bitcoin film, and with the title, "BITCOIN," might confuse newcomers on its history.
There's always hope it gets other aspects of Bitcoin right (not Wright).
