Qeditas (QED)QED
Not a Bitcoin chain split: a new chain with a Bitcoin-snapshot distribution (a spin-off). Kept off the lineage map.
A 2015 Bitcoin spin-off by Bill White for a library of formalized mathematics, with its distribution taken from a snapshot up to Bitcoin block 350,000.
The wiki's angle: Qeditas is a March 2015 spin-off that told holders to move coins off exchanges before its snapshot.[1]

Pitch
Bill White's pre-announcement of 21 March 2015 says “Qeditas is a project to apply block chain technology to support the construction of a library of formalized mathematics”[1]. Its short version: “Bitcoin is for money; Ethereum is for computation; Qeditas is for deduction.”[1] The post says “IOHK is leading the Qeditas project”[1].
Snapshot
The plan was “to take a snapshot of the Bitcoin block chain up to (not iincluding [sic]) the block at height 350,000”[1]. The post urged holders to keep coins under their own control, preferably in a p2pkh address[1]. An update says “The 350,000th block has been mined” and links the snapshot[1]. Block 350,000 was mined on 30 March 2015[2]. Replies in the thread compare its distribution with that of CLAMs[1]. Dalilcoin later forked Qeditas[3].
