  • claims to be a BTC fork but has a 20000 BTC premine
  • seems to fundamentally misunderstand how "longest chain" logic actually works
  • supposed to fork at the same time as BitcoinABC but there's still no client 1 month later
  • nor any details on the proof of work function other than "it's GPU only"
  • in fact, none of the links work at all
tl;dr looks like someone was trying to get rich by forking, but got bored and left when it became clear that nobody cared
