The eCash project’s ECX coin has now become a failed chain on the blockchain, as the chain has been hit by a hash rate attack. miners have taken control of 99% of the total coin supply and 99% of the network’s hash rate, causing the current hash rate and network difficulty to be completely mismatched in block mining. At present, only six blocks have been mined in seven hours! #ecash# #ecx#

Who can explain why in this ECASH project, the ECX coin doesn't need to be mined through hash computing power? How is it possible that the initial address 19fSDKvgCNsdsR1J6aVoCAPnbNdt8FdotM holds 11,112 ECX coins? #ECX# #ecash#

Bitcoin can take years to agree on a change. eCash is testing another route, keep BTC’s base layer untouched and move new features to Drivechain sidechains. After an Alpha that reached 9.44 PH/s across seven independent pools, @BTCdrivechains has now entered Beta at block 967,680. The permanent fork is planned around block 973,728 on October 31. BTC held in self-custody at that snapshot is set to receive ECX 1:1. Any pECX earned during Alpha or Beta is separate from that allocation. One detail really matters, replay protection is opt-in. Follow the official coin-splitting steps before moving BTC after the fork or the corresponding ECX may move too.
