Site

The archived site, captured on 28 December 2017, is in Chinese[1]. It describes BTCS as a proof-of-stake change to Bitcoin and says the team would run a fork trial at height 499999 (“在499999的高度进行分叉试验”), with Bitcoin addresses receiving BTCS at a ratio of 1:100[1]. It gives a total of 2.121 billion BTCS, of which 21 million were premined for the foundation[1].

Record

The 2019 fork list gives “BitcoinStake (BTCS) (1 BTC = 100 BTCS)”, “fork at 499999”, notes the site is “(only in Chinese)” and says “no source code available”[2]. Block 499,999 was mined on 18 December 2017[3].
