Developers plan to fork Bitcoin eCash, reassigning the Satoshi Nakamoto token, sparking controversy
Deep Tide TechFlow News, April 27, According to CoinDesk, developer Paul Sztorc, who has been focusing on Bitcoin scaling solutions, proposed launching a Bitcoin hard fork called eCash at block height 964,000 in August 2026, distributing eCash to users holding BTC at the time on a 1:1 basis, and introducing Drivechains sidechain architecture on the new chain. The controversy mainly centers on his plan to pre-allocate some eCash on the new chain to early investors, which is associated with addresses corresponding to Satoshi Nakamoto, a move that has been criticized by the community, with some claiming it involves “stealing” tokens. Paul Sztorc stated that this move aims to provide incentives for development and collaboration before the project goes live.
