Record

The announcement of 12 December 2016 says “Ocho is a fork of Bitcoin pre-segwit, and with the blocksize hard set to 8MB”[1]. It links Bitcoin pull request 9324 and says the author's ideas were rejected[1]. The README calls it a currency “that uses 8MB blocks”[2]. The first post says “Modifying the genesis block is the next to come”, so whether it shared Bitcoin's history is unknown[1]. forkdrop's data file gives a date of 2018-01-31, fork block “???” and the reason “Inactivity”[3].
