It’s called Sharetip and I had the chance to try it out. I tipped someone on Medium with Bitcoin Cash and it was pretty smooth. Basically, on any platform, it’s like a self-serve tipping tool that you can use. Imagine tipping anywhere on Youtube, Twitter. And it is difficult to censor because, instead of a bot, the user notifies the creator themselves. We got the inside scoop from the creator of Sharetip at news.Bitcoin.com and asked some key questions.

Sharetip is an attempt to make Chaintip much more prevalent by allowing individuals to tip content hosted on any URL and it is not at the mercy of another platform shutting down. Sharetip is not a user of a bot on other platforms, but is itself a platform. An external account (say the Twitter account of a news article’s author) is linked to the content to be tipped (the news article) and the creator of that content claims the tips to the content by proving they own the external account.

Industry experts suggest that such an impressive surge is due to BCH’s April “halvening” event, which is scheduled for 8^th of April. The bitcoin fork led the way in the market cap top ten, as the broader cryptocurrency market experienced a $12 billion influx.

Following the news that that Bitmain filed for an initial public offering (IPO) on the Hong Kong stock exchange, the price of BCH surged almost 20%, now trading at around $522. Experts suggest that the key driver behind the rise of BCH was the financial report released by Bitmain as part of the prospectus for its upcoming IPO. But critics note that the half-year numbers obscure the fact that Bitmain recorded significantly lower results in the second quarter, which reflected the impact of the bear market.

An over-the-counter brokerage and virtual ATM software company, Netcoins, announced that BCH is now available for immediate purchase. BCH is now 7^th coin available via Netcoins, providing investors a convenient solution network for all their crypto needs, whether via OTC or via retail network. The app has been on the market for three years and provides users with a platform that allows them to have a Bitcoin ATM without having to buy a machine. The application can work on a smartphone or tablet allowing merchants to offer the sale of Bitcoin without the substantial costs involved with the purchase of a device or the physical space needed within the store.
