Hello and welcome to the April 5th, 2021 Bitcoin Cash Network Discussions. These meetings serve as a public forum for discussing initiatives that have an impact on the BCH network.

This is not, however, a place where official decisions are made for the whole ecosystem, nor do we officially represent Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin Cash is a decentralized network, so there is no such thing as an "official" decision outside of the blockchain itself.

Instead, our goal is to help establish a high bar for proposals while also providing a platform for public, moderated discussion.

Today's topic is the GROUP Tokenization proposal, presented by Andrew Stone, Lead Developer at Bitcoin Unlimited. We're also joined by Bitcoin Cash Node contributor and BCH services operator Imaginary Username, as well as Calin Culianu, maintainer and developer for Bitcoin Cash Node, Electron Cash, and Fulcrum.

The discussion will be conducted in several sections. For each section, the presenter will give an overview of part of the proposal, and then our other guests will have the opportunity to add their own comments and ask questions.

Those 5 sections will be:

  1. The proposal's problem statement and/or use-case.
  2. The properties of a good solution and/or implementation
  3. The proposal itself, and how well it fulfills those requirements
  4. The costs of the proposal to the BCH ecosystem
  5. The relevant stakeholders, and their public support

Andrew, please go ahead whenever you're ready.


That concludes today's Bitcoin Cash Network Discussion on the Group Tokenization proposal. These network discussions are hosted on a best effort basis by volunteers, thanks to everyone working behind the scenes to make them happen.

Thanks to BitcoinCashResearch.org for providing the online platform where these discussions can first form. If you have a proposal for the Bitcoin Cash network, BitcoinCashResearch.org is a great place to start.
