On Nov. 22, Barwicki declared the activation of his project, Honest cash, that permits 100 accounts the ability to experiment with the beta platform. 

BCH Platform Honest Cash Aims to Fill a Void

In October, news.Bitcoin.com reported  on Barwicki winning the first BCH Devcon grand prize in Amsterdam with the Panda Suite SDK. now Barwicki is deep within the midst of making a social media project that's just like popular blogging platform Medium. The Honest cash platform allows users to make a profile and so post written content. The application also offers users the ability to earn bitcoin cash if individuals appreciate the shared content and tip the user/writer. The Honest cash manifesto states that the application are going to be uncensorable, community-driven, privacy-centric and always open source. After the blockchain split on November. 15, some BCH blogging platforms like Matter and Yours.org decided to follow the BSV roadmap. This inspired Barwicki and his teammates to create the Honest cash project specifically for the BCH community.

After gaining access to the early activation period of Honest cash, news.Bitcoin.com took a tour of the platform before the developers enable the general public the ability to join. The user interface is fairly simple and gives each user a profile, which might be tethered to a public BCH address for tips. a few folks, including the developers, have been adding test posts and there’s additionally a frequently asked questions (FAQ) section for people who want help getting started. The platform’s profile section shows a username and a place where users will add a public bitcoin cash address. If you have announce anything on the Honest cash platform, these posts will show up on your profile feed as well.

Anti-Censorship and pro Peer-to-Peer cash

Next to the profile section, there's a little pencil icon that enables users to post content on the site. This specific section allows you to write a title and also the body of any sort of written post you desire. For testing purposes, news.Bitcoin.com uploaded a paragraph from Eric Hughes’ unaltered  piece, “A Cypherpunk’s manifesto.”

The application allows for numerous sorts of format techniques like adding boldface letters and headers to the written content. Honest cash writers can merely highlight any of the words and a format menu window seems. Users can also add links within posts and add tags to the content as well. At the instant the platform doesn't allow photos, but Barwicki has informed news.Bitcoin.com that this specific feature will be added within the future.

Barwicki also explained why he decided to make the Honest cash social media application:

“We had seen during the hard fork that content was censored by different platforms that didn't align with their agenda — The content was removed and people were banned,” Barwicki emphasized. “This led us to begin Honest cash and our goal is to make a permissionless platform for authors to share their viewpoints without the risk of being censored.”

The Honest cash team has also been listening to feedback and observing the first activation period for any problems. The project’s developers believe peer-to-peer cash payments are the missing link in the world of social media and users ought to be able to earn money directly from the people who support them.
