Not a Bitcoin fork — a proof-of-stake masternode coin that used the Bitcoin name. Not the same coin as Lightning Bitcoin (LBTC).

A January 2018 proof-of-stake masternode coin named Bitcoin Lightning, swapped in late 2018 for the Block-Logic BLTG coin.

◆ Takeover vieweditorial · opinion, labelled

The wiki's angle: “Bitcoin Lightning” is a name, not a Bitcoin fork — and not to be confused with Lightning Bitcoin or the Lightning Network.[1]

Launch

The launch thread was opened by aperture on 5 January 2018 with the title “[LAUNCH] | BLTG | Bitcoin Lightning | Masternodes | PoS”[1]. Early replies on that day asked for the source code and questioned whether mining had ended[1].

Swap to Block-Logic

The current, edited first post says “Bitcoin Lightning old BLTG will be swapped for new BLTG block logic technology group”[1]. It states “The Swap will start on October 22, 2018 and last until December 4, 2018” and lists the new coin's quark algorithm, 60-second blocks and a 12,000-coin masternode collateral[1]. The unrelated Lightning Bitcoin (LBTC) was a fork of the Bitcoin chain at block 499,999[2].
