A fork at block 500,000 with 8 MB blocks and a 1% reserve; a 2019 review found it still running even though its GitHub repository had disappeared.

◆ Takeover vieweditorial · opinion, labelled

The wiki's angle: Bitcoin Faith outlived its own code repository — a 2019 reviewer could still sync it after the GitHub page was gone.[3]

Pitch

The archived site, captured on 1 January 2018, calls BTF “a new chain of 500000 forked at the height of the bitcoin block” and promises holders the same amount “according to the ratio of 1:1”[1]. Block 500,000 was mined on 18 December 2017[2]. It lists 8M blocks, a roadmap starting “2017.12.19 At 500000 height forks began to build”, a total of 21 million and says “The Bitcoin Faith reserves 1%”[1].

Record

The 2019 fork list gives the GitHub repository as “(disappeared)” but its 26 February 2019 status says “still seems to be working, 0.6 GB”[3]. The same list uses the ticker BTF for Bitcoin Flash, another fork at block 508000[3].
