Your move:
→ Buy ECX: buy.ecash.com/
→ Download the wallet: ecash.com/download/
→ Split your coins: ecash.com/split/

Bitcoin just forked. eCash (ECX) is live.
A decade of sidechain research. A decade of “not on L1.” Today, Drivechains activate.
Yesterday, building on Bitcoin meant lobbying for a soft fork. Today, you can just build.
Seven sidechains launch on day one. If one fails, L1 doesn’t notice.
If you self-custodied $BTC at the fork, you just received $ECX. Split your coins before you move your BTC.

🔴 ECASH COUNTDOWN | Bitcoin Hard Fork IS Happening nitter.gq/i/broadcasts/1DxLdZBwZ…
Amy V retweeted
eCash.com is the last Bitcoin fork.
Why? Because with ECX we have the ability to experiment with an infinite amount of merge-mined L2 side-chains.
L1 remains the same as Core forever - the only true guarantee for ossification... which Core cannot grant.
Bitcoin's future is called eCash!

Your BTC is getting forked tomorrow.
Learn how to access your $ECX, split your $BTC safely, and avoid donating your coins to some Telegram goblin.
No claim forms. No panic. Just replay protection.

How did a decade of sidechain research and Bitcoin debate end in a fork?
It started with Drivechains, @Truthcoin’s proposal to connect Bitcoin to sidechains.
Here’s the eCash (ECX) backstory, explained 🤓

REMINDER: New Bitcoin Hardfork **Oct 31** !
- After two successful test networks (Aug 23, Sept 20), the real network is ready to go.
- Full node software available NOW.
- Pre-trading (via a wrapped token) is LIVE.
Details below...
BREAKING: New Bitcoin Fork
I am helping create a **new Bitcoin Hardfork** -- dropping this August, called "eCash".
- Your coins will split. For example, if you have 4.19 BTC, then you will get 4.19 eCash.
- You may sell your eCash -- or keep it. Or ignore it!
Vegas:
- Yes, I will be in Vegas next week.
- No, I won't mention this, on stage -- (that would be rude).
Our L1 Node...
- is a near-copy of Bitcoin Core.
- is Sha256d mined.
- forks via a one-time difficulty-reset -- to its minimum value. (So, mining will be crazy at first.)
- Yes, we will change the seed nodes, the name, the network magic, etc.
Codewise, the L1 will remain compatible with Bitcoin Core:
- We will continue to merge their changes (even the bad ones).
- The L1 will activate Bip300/301 via CUSF -- the core untouched soft fork. So, no lines of code will be changed, on the L1.
- The activation client will be published periodically (link below).
- We will do several bug bounty contests this summer.
- The client will be frozen 30 days prior to the fork.
Yes, there will be Drivechains:
- We have 7 in developement right now.
- Users can also submit their own.
- Drivechain is a vision of "competing L2s" -- this avoids the "dev capture" problem.
- These L2s are all Merged Mined. Miners automatically get free $.
- Our L2s are already capable of planetary scale, and onboarding 8 billion users.
- We also have a zCash-like L2, with strong privacy.
- Other L2s: Truthcoin (Prediction Markets), CoinShift (Decentralized Exchange), BitAssets (NFT etc), BitNames (Identity), Photon (Quantum Resistant).
Unlike BCH (the 2017 fork):
- There is no "Bitcoin" in the name. New name, new brand.
- You are getting advanced warning (4 months).
- We are replaying all txns (at first). We will release a coin-splitter tool.
- This is a permanent & sustainable fix to Bitcoin's problems (instead of a 1 MB to 8 MB temporary fix).
- Back in 2017, the BTC tech stack was strong, and expectations for Lightning were strong. Today, it is the reverse.

Pirate Chain Ironwood is live!
The trustless setup strengthens our foundation for the future.
Always private with zero-knowledge is ARRR standard.

Privacy used to cost you time, with slow syncs and clunky wallets. Rafael sat down with Amy V and Daniel from #PirateChain to talk about what makes money truly private, how it compares to #Monero, and #Stashi, their new unified wallet. Stashi runs over Tor by default, and the team's early testing shows its Supernova sync running 20 to 30 times faster than the old lite wallet. We also cover the upcoming Ironwood upgrade and what real-world adoption looks like at a local farmers market.

** UPDATE ** -- The ECX hardfork (the Bip-300 one) is still launching August 23rd -- but it is NOT launching all at once.
Instead, it launches in three stages:
1. Alpha - August 23rd - Block 963648
2. Beta - Sept 20th - Block 967680
3. ** Full Permanent Release ** -- Oct 31st -- Block 973,728
The Alpha and Beta launches will (ideally) resemble the full launch, in every way possible.
If you acquire "practice" ECX, on the alpha and beta, you may burn these coins, to redeem for real (Oct 31) ECX. Details to follow.
This rollout has a number of big advantages, including:
1. Allows us to wait out the current "LLM bug chaos".
2. Still rewards people for being early participants.
3. Still rewards people for using replay to drain exchanges of ECX — (it now gives them a light whack instead of a huge crisis).
4. Allows investors to *compound* their initial earned coins, by using them to get yet more coins.
5. Gives us *cover* if there is some kind of big problem or disaster.
6. Allows us to better estimate the initial equilibrium USD/ECX price ... & therefore the difficulty.
7. Gives people something to trade, Pump, speculate, practice on, etc.
8. Serves as "the ultimate FAQ", since instead of asking "does X work with Y" there is a real live demo we can point people to.
Note: The full release will take place, approximately, on the 18th anniversary of the publication of Satoshi's Bitcoin Whitepaper. 🎃👻
Note: This fork has **opt-in** replay protection. Our software **will** add RP for you (and it will warn you about it). However, if you ignore us, we will replay your txns. So - you must intentionally split your ECX off, or it will follow your outgoing BTC to a new owner. See resources below.
You have 12 weeks to practice! (Don't say I didn't warn you!!)

August 2026 might be the most consequential month in Bitcoin's history.
Three competing visions for what Bitcoin becomes next:
BIP300/301
BIP110
Bitcoin Core as-is
Whether you support them or oppose them, understanding them matters.
Bitcoin has always evolved through competition.
The next chapter will be written by builders, not headlines.
