Q: What is this?

A: The BCH community is experimenting with exposing the naked shorting used by exchanges (famously Binance didn't even report their BCH reserves for a very long time - unlike other major coins). Of course, this is simply another manifestation of attempts to suppress Bitcoin the p2p cash as outlined in "Hijacking Bitcoin" book. The idea is to regularly coordinate a day when the community withdraws coins from exchanges to on-chain wallets and suck up all the available liquidity, create an impact on the price & in an extreme case blow up a naked shorting exchange that can't meet its BCH obligations. Think of it like GME & Wall Street Bets for BCH, or the XMR community has a similar idea called "Monerun". This was discussed on Podcast episode 142 if you want to hear more.

Q: When?

A: Now. Any time during the window 0:00 - 23:59 on bank run day UTC time ideally, but if you miss the window slightly that's fine the day after still works. The bank run repeats on the 1st & 15th of each month.

Q: How do I participate?

A: Buy BCH on any custodial exchange (with any fiat or other crypto) & withdraw to your self custodial wallet. Then like this thread & leave a comment saying you participated. Any exchange that is easiest for you or crypto ATM or even any p2p trade works - as long as you are increasing your BCH held self-custodially then you are contributing to the pressure on custodially held BCH supply (which will naturally flow through the market).

Q: What if I don't use exchanges / all my funds are in BCH already?

A: Great work on living the p2p cash dream! You can still contribute by selling some goods & services on that day in order to increase your self-custodial BCH, as well as make noise on social media to spread the word to others!

Q: If this is predictably repeated & publicly announced, can't people "frontrun" it by selling into our volume?

A: Yes, but that's a win if they do. If BCH Bank Run is popular enough to noticeably move the price, it's already working. If it's getting enough attention that new people are getting interested in the ecosystem & the coin to follow BCH & think about it regularly - even if they start out as speculators - that's a win. The curiosity of why BCH is uniquely acting like this will lead them to delve deeper sooner or later.

Q: Anything else I need to know?

A: BCH started at rank 23 & has climbed as high as rank 10 (!!!) since this initiative began. Coincidence? Hard to say. Exchanges issues have been plentiful in blocking withdraws. The whole market is obviously a scam, but the good news is that bank runs is one way we can potentially uncover naked shorting activity. Keep an eye on the price & watch the price today & this week to see what happens (or distress among custodial exchanges). I will update this thread with anything I notice.

If you want Bitcoin Cash education to return to universities in Venezuela, please support our FundMe campaign; only six days remain.

You still have the chance to support this new wave of adoption, but time is running out act now and show your support.

BCH BLAZE 2026 registrations are open, ParyonUSD surpasses 150,000 BCH transactions and fixes a contract vulnerability, and Paytaca AI adds video and audio generation. And more.

I read BYDFi's BCH buying guide while looking into using BCH for shop payments, then checked the transaction format. There was no built-in field for a shop's invoice deadline. That left me looking at the merchant's checkout policy.

BCH merchants who dealt with a payment first detected after the invoice expired, how did you handle the order?

https://fundme.cash/campaign/166

Guide aimed to reach beginner investors & people new to the cryptocurrency space.

Paytaca endorses the 1-minute blocks proposal, BCH BLAZE returns with registrations to open on October 10, Selene Wallet previews its next major update with WizardConnect, Cauldron swaps, and ParyonUSD support. And more.

I feel like bitcoin cash has so much more upside at these prices. I sold all my bitcoin and stocks for bcash a week ago.

Im down on the investment right now but I feel like $400-$700 bitcoin cash is inevitable during this bullrun.

Im holding and buying more every paycheck.

To all of you my BCH people who enjoy what I do, or not😀, here's my birthday reflection article on Substack. It covers the whole year, my battles, challenges and everything that made more stronger. Enjoy and let's keep building.

https://fundme.cash/campaign/166

The same explorer interface you already understand from mempool.space, but converted to BCH. That's what bch.tx.taxi is all about - providing that same, slop-free interface to other blockchains. I believe that this perfect multi-chain explorer concept will allow users to understand the inner workings of each blockchain we support in a way that they can already understand. No need to learn a new vibe-coded explorer interface, just use bch.tx.taxi.

Most home miners (Bitaxe, NerdQaxe++) ship pointed at BTC solo pools. I wanted the same "your miner, your node, your block" setup for Bitcoin Cash, so I built one for Umbrel.

SoloBCH Forge is a lightweight, open-source Stratum server that runs on your Umbrel next to the Bitcoin Cash Node app and lets any Stratum V1 ASIC mine BCH straight to your own node.

- No pool, no fees, no custody. Your CashAddr is the Stratum username and gets paid in the coinbase.

- Zero config on Umbrel: it reads the node connection automatically.

- Dashboard with per-miner hashrate, shares, best share, blocks found, and your expected time-to-block.

- Vardiff, instant new-block jobs via ZMQ, webhook alerts (block / best share / miner offline), Prometheus + Grafana.

- One-click "Is this working?" diagnostic that walks through node, template, port, miner and shares.

- Pure Python standard library, tiny image, fine on a Raspberry Pi.

Install: Umbrel App Store -> three '...' -> Community App Stores -> add https://github.com/DanCreatesStuff/SoloBCHForge -> install SoloBCH Forge. Needs the Bitcoin Cash Node app synced.

Miner config: stratum+tcp://<umbrel-ip>:3334, username = your bitcoincash:address.worker (worker optional), password anything.

Yes, solo mining a small ASIC is a lottery. That is the point. This is for people who want the ticket and the sovereignty, not an income plan.

Feedback very welcome, especially from anyone running other miner firmware I have not tested.
