A November 2018 fork of Bitcoin Cash by former BCH developers and community members, built around merge mining; still syncing in February 2019.

◆ Takeover vieweditorial · opinion, labelled

The wiki's angle: Bitcoin Stash forked BCH in November 2018 and pitched merge mining as its defence against 51% attacks.[1][2]

Pitch

The README says Bitcoin Stash “is a cryptocurrency that is hard forked from Bitcoin Cash”, made by “a group of former Bitcoin Cash developers and community members that have become dismayed at the current outlook of BCH”[1]. It says the coin “utilizes merge mining” against attempts to hijack the chain, and can be merge-mined with Bitcoin and both Bitcoin Cash variants[1].

Record

forkdrop's data file gives Bitcoin Cash as the source chain, fork block 556766 and a date of 2018-11-15[2]. The 2019 fork list gives 556767 instead and reported the chain “seems to be working, 0.4 GB” on 26 February 2019[3]. Its state after 2019 is unknown[3].
