𝗘𝗹𝗹𝗮(@Ellaweb_3):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.
