MetaWriter and Metanet Planaria
MetaWriter is a simple command line tool for creating Metanet nodes and allows users to construct valid Metanet transactions. This is perfectly timed with _unwriter’s release of Metanet Planaria a tool that allows Metanet transactions to be interpreted and displayed in a browser.
MetaWriter creates Metanet nodes in the blockchain in a hierarchical structure allowing them to be referenced by user friendly names and paths. An example of this is the construct a tree of on-chain, Metanet-valid transactions that represents the structure of a simple photo album as demonstrated by nChain researcher Jack Davies ( @JackD004 ).
In order to use this tool, users will need access to some BSV for funding your transactions. It is suggested to create a new, independent wallet with a small amount of BSV that can be used for your Metanet nodes.
For continuing to build and grow the BSV ecosystem these two complimentary products and their creators are this week’s Satoshi Shout out.
Bitcoin Association around the world
Expo-Bitcoin International 2019
This week the Expo-Bitcoin International 2019 was held in Bogota, Colombia from June 19-23 at the Corferias, the international convention centre with the team from Bitcoin Association in attendance.

He particularly focussed on the importance of regulation and working with governments to make Satoshi’s Vision happen for Latin America.
