The announcement of 24 April 2018 says “Bitcoin Class team will fork Bitcoin Cash at block height 528000” and promises to explore a “quantum-resistant solution of bitcoin”[1]. It lists a two-minute block interval, a 21 million supply, Equihash GPU mining, no SegWit and a 1% premine[1]. forkdrop's data file gives Bitcoin Cash as the source chain and a date of 2018-04-29[2]. The BCS ticker is also used by Bitcoin Smart and Bitcoin Star[2]. Its state after 2018 is unknown[2].
