As mentioned in previous updates, the Bitcoin Private contribution team has been working on a privacy first, multi-phase merchant platform. It is just as important to have scalable, user-friendly consumer facing products for real world adoption to take place as it is to have robust, low-level technology to power mathematically provable shielded transactions.

In the last 10 days, the open source community started a public Discord server to host over thirty merchants who have been contributing feedback to the current, closed beta release and so far it has been an absolute success.

Bitcoin Private Pay Version 1.0 Roll Out

Over the next several weeks, the Bitcoin Private open-source community will be aiming to roll out the first version of our merchant platform to the more than 150 registered merchants ready to start offering Bitcoin Private Pay as a method for payment to their respective customers. This launch will propel us into one of the top cryptocurrencies measured by merchant vendor adoption.

I must admit that I've been disappointed with my bitcoin private investment. While I made great profits buying and selling zclassic in the run up to the big fork I ended pretty much washing out those profits by hodling that bitcoin private and not getting a good sell on my zclassic as it came crashing down.  I'm still going hodl this btcp hoping for project improvements like this one to help push the price and adoption up.
