eCash Bitcoin fork launches with 1:1 ECX airdrop

  • —Mainnet activated at BTC block 973,728, tied to a difficulty adjustment
  • —1:1 airdrop needs no registration but requires self-custody keys or exchange support
  • —About 500,000 ECX from ~1.1M early BTC addresses go to project backers
  • —Project aims to implement Drivechain via BIP 300 and BIP 301 on a separate chain
Why it matters: The fork leaves Bitcoin untouched, but redistributing early coins and replay-attack risks could stir community debate.
