A Chinese snapshot fork at block 501,225 with 42 million coins, 8 MB blocks and Equihash; its site claimed replay protection, and a May 2018 tool post warned that one of three newly listed forks lacked it.

◆ Takeover vieweditorial · opinion, labelled

The wiki's angle: New Bitcoin is easy to confuse with “Bitcoin New (BTN)”, a separate entry at block 501,000 in the 2019 fork list.[4]

Site

The archived site (新比特币, captured 4 March 2018, in Chinese) describes a snapshot fork (“快照分叉”) at Bitcoin block 501225[1]. It gives a total of 42 million coins, 34 million handed to Bitcoin holders at 1:2 and the rest mined, 8M blocks, a switch from SHA256 to Equihash for GPU mining, and replay protection with SegWit[1]. Its roadmap dates the successful fork to 27 December 2017[1]. Block 501,225 was mined that day at 06:55:44 UTC[2].

Replay warning

On 1 May 2018 Ayms, author of a tool for spending coins on forks, announced support for “Big Bitcoin "BBC", New Bitcoin "NBTC" and Bitcoin Clean "BCL" (Warning this fork does not implement any replay protection with BTC)”[3]. Which of the three coins the warning refers to is not clear from that post[3].

Name

The 2019 fork list does not include New Bitcoin; it has a different entry, “Bitcoin New (BTN)”, at block 501000 with “no source code available”[4]. This wiki treats them as two coins[4][1].
