VANCOUVER, Aug. 27, 2018 /CNW/ - NetCents Technology Inc. ("NetCents" or the "Company") (CSE: NC / Frankfurt: 26N) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a three-year exclusive enterprise licensing agreement with Post Socratic Ventures (PSV) and has added Bitcoin Cash (BCH) to the NC Exchange.

"We look forward to integrating our merchants and partners the NetCents platform. We selected the NetCents platform due to their Instant Settlement capability, eliminating the volatility risk for our merchants," stated Carlos Mendez, Director of Communications at Post Socratic Ventures. "We are confident that NetCents is the perfect partner due to their game-changing platform and their addition of Bitcoin Cash to the platform to service demand from our current partners."

PSV is a new venture for the team of industry veterans. Together, they have extensive experience in the payments, blockchain, tourism, and telecommunications industries having worked on the development of multiple online payment systems, POS terminal application development, PCI compliance, network administration, infrastructure design, and end-to-end encryption, with multiple successful deployments in several countries.

PSV will begin to integrate the NetCents cryptocurrency payment processing platform into their merchants and partners in the Caribbean. Through the agreement, the Company has assigned PSV exclusive rights to the Caribbean region, including: Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Bonaire, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Curazao, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Haiti, Jamaica, Martinique, Montserrat, Saba, Saint Barthelemy, Saint Kitts & Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Martin, Saint Vincent, Sint Eustatius, Sint Maarten, Trinidad & Tobago, Turks & Caicos Islands.                  

PSV requested the addition of Bitcoin Cash due to demand from merchants and partners in their pipeline in the Gaming, Tourism and Crypto Tourism, and Luxury Hospitality industries based in the Caribbean.

The integration of BCH into the NC Exchange is the first phase of the integration of the coin into the NetCents ecosystem. NetCents users are now able to deposit, withdraw, and trade BCH for fiat and cryptocurrencies supported by the NC Exchange with other NC Exchange users.

During the second phase, BCH will be added into the NetCents Merchant Gateway. Once BCH has been added to the Company's Merchant Gateway, BCH holders will be able to spend their coins at NetCents merchants who accept BCH.

BCH is currently the #4 cryptocurrency worldwide based on market cap with a market cap of $9,075,212,884 USD, a 24-hour volume of $294,046,048 USD, and over 17 million coins circulating in the market¹.

BCH is a fork from Bitcoin Classic. Bitcoin Cash differs from Bitcoin Classic in that it increases the block size from 1 MB to 8 MB. It also removes Segregated Witness (SegWit), a proposed code adjustment designed to free up block space by removing certain parts of the transaction. The goal of Bitcoin Cash is to increase the number of transactions that can be processed, and supporters hope that this change will allow Bitcoin Cash to compete with the volume of transactions that PayPal and Visa can handle by increasing the size of blocks².
