A fork listed at block 500,000 by a Canadian Blockchain Community and listed on the Allcoin exchange in January 2018; the sources disagree on its supply.

◆ Takeover vieweditorial · opinion, labelled

The wiki's angle: forkdrop's date for Bitcoin ECO is a year after its own block, one of several conflicts in this entry.[3][4]

Record

An Allcoin notice of 6 January 2018 says “Canadian Blockchain Community introduces a new fork of Bitcoin-Bitcoin ECO (BEC)” and schedules BEC trading[1]. The archived site compares BEC with BTC, BTG and BCD and gives it SHA256 mining, 4MB blocks and a maximum supply of “210ML”[2]. forkdrop's data file gives block 500000, a date of 2018-12-18, a 10k:1 ratio, a maximum supply of 210 Billion and the reason “Homepage Down”[3]. Block 500,000 was mined on 18 December 2017, so forkdrop's year conflicts with its own block[4].
