Not a Bitcoin chain split: a new chain that credited BTC and ETH holders who claimed. Kept off the lineage map.

A claim-based token for BTC and ETH holders, snapshotted at Bitcoin block 500,283 and Ethereum block 4,766,319, at 3.93946357 BITE per BTC.

◆ Takeover vieweditorial · opinion, labelled

The wiki's angle: BitEthereum split one airdrop across two chains' holders, two-thirds to Bitcoin and one-third to Ethereum.[1]

Airdrop

The archived Chinese site says the total supply is 100 million, with 99% airdropped: 66 million claimable by BTC holders and 33 million by ETH holders[1]. It set the snapshot for 00:00 on 21 December 2017 and required at least 0.1 BTC or 1 ETH per address[1]. The snapshot heights it gives are Ethereum block 4766319 and Bitcoin block 500283, with 3.93946357 BITE per BTC[1]. Block 500,283 was mined on 20 December 2017 UTC[2].

Record

Holders were to claim by signing with their BTC or ETH address in a client due in March 2018, before a deadline of 2 April 2018[1]. The 2019 fork list gives the same ratio and deadline, and notes “no source code available”[3]. forkdrop's data file files it among historic entries with the reason “Airdrop Over”[4].
