Bitcoin eCash Hard Fork Activates in Three Days With 1:1 ECX Airdrop
- —Activation is tied to Bitcoin's difficulty adjustment, targeting block 973,728
- —ECX difficulty resets to minimum once at launch, enabling rapid early mining
- —About 500,000 ECX from early Patoshi-pattern coins will go to project investors
- —Replay protection is opt-in after the chain split
Why it matters: The fork creates a parallel asset and tests demand for Drivechains, but reassigning Satoshi-era coins and weak replay protection have drawn heavy criticism.
