Bitclassic Coin (BICC)BICC
A Chinese-team fork (比特币金典) moving to 8MB blocks at a height its own site gives as 499,888; forkdrop gives 498,888.
The wiki's angle: the sources disagree on Bitclassic's fork height by a thousand blocks, and the site's own roadmap date does not match either block.[1][5]
Contents
Pitch
The archived site says the block size “changed from 1M to 8M”, promising faster and cheaper transfers[1]. Its roadmap lists “2018-01-08 Hard fork At a height of 499888, extend 8M block” and a later zero-knowledge-proof upgrade[1]. The README is the stock Bitcoin Core text with the name changed to BitClassic coin[2].
Record
The 2019 fork list also gives a fork at 499888 and says it “doesn't seem to exist (anymore)”[3]. Block 499,888 was mined on 18 December 2017, not 8 January 2018[4]. forkdrop's data file instead gives block 498888 and a date of 2017-12-12, with a maximum supply of 21,200,000[5]. Which height the chain used is unverified[5].
