Bitcoin SV Wallets Collaborate to Bring Peer-to-peer Transactions Back to Bitcoin

The original Bitcoin software provided an option for users to "send to IP". This method would allow a sender (Alice) to deliver a transaction directly to the recipient. (Bob), with no third parties involved. But the implementation for "send to IP" was not finished, so early BTC protocol developers removed the IP-to-IP functionality, removing the peer-to-peer nature of Bitcoin's protocol.

HandCash and Money Button – two leading wallets in the Bitcoin SV ecosystem – are collaborating to bring back true "peer-to-peer" transactions for Bitcoin, the way Bitcoin's creator Satoshi Nakamoto intended. The original Bitcoin white paper announced Bitcoin as a "peer-to-peer electronic cash system", but BTC protocol developers deviated from the "peer-to-peer" design nearly a decade ago.  HandCash and Money Button will now send signed BSV transactions to each other directly, without third parties involved, restoring the true Satoshi Vision for Bitcoin.

Bitcoin SV's mission has been to restore Satoshi's original Bitcoin protocol and allow it to massively scale. HandCash and Money Button seek to lead the Bitcoin SV ecosystem back to the peer-to-peer design that Satoshi intended. The Paymail protocol (announced for Bitcoin SV in May 2019) brings back true peer-to-peer transactions. Paymail allows users to send Bitcoin transactions to an email address, providing for secure, end-to-end, encrypted communications and authentication via HTTPS.
