The archived site says “FOXBTC aims to empower company-based forking in the crypto markets by enabling users to store and exchange any airdrop”[3]. It lists 10MB blocks, a three-minute interval and GPU mining, and a 27M supply “of which 5M are premined (4M allocated for airdrop and 1M for the team)”[3]. The README is the stock Bitcoin Core text renamed to FBTC[4]. The FBTC ticker is shared with FastBitcoin[5].
