Pitch

The Bitcointalk announcement of 2 April 2018 promises “free airdrops: 1 BTC = 1 BTCM” at the fork[1]. It says the team wanted “to avoid all scam sites like previous hardforks” and offers an all-in-one online wallet[1].

Record

forkdrop's data file lists a registration airdrop with fork block “???”, a date of 2018-05-01 and a 21,000,000 maximum supply[2]. No fork block or chain data was found, so whether it launched is unknown[2].
