Bitcoin Rhodium / xRhodium (XRC)XRC
Not a Bitcoin fork by its own FAQ — listed here because of its Bitcoin name.
A C# proof-of-work coin with a 2.1 million cap that called itself Bitcoin Rhodium, said plainly it was not a Bitcoin fork, and renamed itself xRhodium in 2019.
The wiki's angle: Rhodium is the rare Bitcoin-named coin that answered the fork question with a flat no, which is why it sits off the lineage map and in the wiki only as a naming case.[1]
Contents
Not a fork
The project's own FAQ asks “Is this a Bitcoin fork?” and answers “NO. Bitcoin Rhodium is not a Bitcoin fork and uses its own unique blockchain”[1]. The same FAQ says it is programmed in C#, that mainnet launched on 20 October 2018 and that the project started on 1 December 2017[1].
Design
The FAQ gives a maximum supply of 2.1 million coins, “one-tenth of Bitcoin's”, x13 proof of work and the same 10-minute block interval as Bitcoin[1]. A Medium version of the FAQ published on 23 October 2019 uses the name xRhodium, describes the Strong Hands Program of free coins for holding XRC for three months, and asks “Is this a token?” rather than whether it is a fork[2].
