Bitcoin Top (BTT)BTT
A December 2017 fork at block 501,118 with 17 million coins for Bitcoin holders and 4 million for a community pool; still syncing in February 2019.
The wiki's angle: Bitcoin Top is one of the small forks the 2019 reviewer could still sync, which makes it a better-documented survivor than most of the December 2017 wave.[4]

Pitch
The README says “Bitcoin Top (BTT) is a fork of Bitcoin that occurs at the predetermined height of block 501118” and promises new proof-of-work rules and better privacy[1]. It claims an anti-replay function in both directions[1]. Of 21 million BTT, it says 17 million go to Bitcoin holders at 1 BTC : 1 BTT and “The rest 4 million will be automatically transferred into the community rewards pool”[1].
