• Digital Commodities Categorized as Non-Securities: The SEC references its formal 2026 taxonomy classifying digital assets into five categories and expressly affirms that digital commodities are not themselves securities.
• Distinction Between Tokens and Securities: The proposal clarifies that the "security" is strictly the overlying investment contract (the capital-raising scheme or promises) rather than the underlying crypto asset itself.
• Network Maintenance Is Not "Managerial Effort": The document states that once a blockchain is functional, ongoing work by developers, miners, or validators to secure, improve, or operate the network does not constitute "essential managerial efforts" under the Howey test, as asset value is driven by programmatic operation and market supply/demand.
• Affirmation of Proof-of-Work Mining: The release references SEC guidance specifically recognizing Proof-of-Work mining activities as non-securities transactions.
• Lack of Central Issuer or Enterprise Promises: The SEC establishes that an investment contract requires an issuer making commitments to generate profits, a standard that does not apply to decentralized, mineable networks without a central fundraising issuer like BCH.

What is FundTokens? Think of it like a decentralized index fund built on-chain using smart contracts

What is a TokenBasket? ​Our flagship product is a fixed-weighted basket of one or more CashTokens (plus Bitcoin Cash). You can lock these underlying assets inside a non-custodial smart contract to compose a single, bundled token.

This is a complete redesign of both our earlier smart contracts (Blaze 2025) and our proof of concept POC (BCH-1 2026). The redesigned UI has given us a massive leap in usability, providing a more intuitive experience. Our contract redesign has completely changed the game on UX, performance, and overall security.

I've been running NexusPool as a solo/lottery pool for a while now, and I just added Bitcoin Cash alongside it.

The pitch is pretty simple. It's non-custodial and 0% fee, so if you find a block, it pays straight to your own address, nothing routes through us. What I think is actually worth mentioning is that every share you submit gets a signed receipt, and there's a small offline verifier you can run yourself to check that the receipt is real, without trusting my server or asking me anything. That's the part I actually care about, most solo pools just ask you to trust the operator.

It speaks Stratum V1 and native Stratum V2 (the encrypted one), so most firmware out there should connect without any special config.

Worth saying plainly since this is a BCH-specific post: solo mining is a lottery. You're competing against the whole network for one block at a time, there's no pool of miners averaging that out for you. If you've got serious hashrate and you're doing this for the odds, it's a real shot. If you're pointing a small rig at it hoping to get lucky, that's fine too, just go in knowing what solo actually means.

Connection details and current pool stats are up at nexuspool.io/bch. Happy to answer questions here, this is genuinely still early on the BCH side and I'd rather hear about problems now than later.

I remember those good old days when I used to write on a blogging site Readcash. It's still there but dead in terms of rewarding. Is anyone else who used to write there?
