Not a single-parent Bitcoin split: a planned airdrop across five chains, with no fork date. Kept off the lineage map.

A 2018 plan for a five-way multi-fork of BTC, BCH, ETH, LTC and Dash, paying holders by the USD value of their coins; no fork block was set.

◆ Takeover vieweditorial · opinion, labelled

The wiki's angle: Bitcoin Origin weighted its airdrop by dollar value across five chains rather than by coin count.[1]

Record

The archived site, captured on 4 May 2018, promises an “Innovative, 5-way multi-fork of Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin and Dash”[1]. Holders would be “awarded Bitcoin Origin in proportion to the United States Dollar (USD) value of their original holdings”[1]. It describes a Proof-of-Ambassador consensus[1]. forkdrop's data file gives fork block and date as “TBD” and a 35 Billion maximum supply[2]. Whether it launched is unknown[2].
