This past April, news.Bitcoin.com reported on a social media application powered by bitcoin cash transactions called Memo.cash. Since then the platform has grown in many ways with more users, features, and extensions. When the project first launched, a few weeks later a similar platform called Blockpress came out, but about a month ago the Blockpress founder abandoned the project leaving the Twitter-like onchain-powered Memo to take the reins.

Memo Use Continues to Gain Traction with Uncensored Content Sharing Powered by Bitcoin Cash
Over the past few months, bitcoin cash fans have been using an onchain social media application called Memo.cash. The application allows anyone to create a profile, post uncensorable messages, and tip people natively in BCH. Essentially users tether written data, videos, pictures, and animations to the website and all the actions are hashed into the BCH chain using an OP_Return transaction.

Furthermore, Memo users can utilize 217 characters now instead of the original 77 characters the application started out with, and this is due to the increased default data-carrier size to 220 bytes implemented on the Bitcoin Cash network this past May. The added characters have allowed Memo users to do a much wider range of things when posting on the main feed.
Memo users can utilize up to 217 characters now.
Not only can users post 217 characters of uncensorable text, but users can also embed Youtube videos, website URLs, torrent magnets, streaming video links, pictures, and animated gifs. Memo users can also post a poll that allows other Memo members to vote on specific topics like should Ross Ulbricht be pardoned, bitcoin cash pre-consensus, political questions, and more.
