.icns files are the 'apple-version' of ICO files. They can store one (or several) pictures.

To open them in windows/linux you can either use Inkscape [1] or XnViewMP [2].
Additinoally its possible to open those files with the explorer (with XnShell extension [3]).


I'm not sure what you are doing, but most probably this file is irrelevant to you. Its just an icon image.

Thats what i assumed. But, without offending you, i don't think your fork will be somehow innovative/valuable.
There is a lot of expertise necessary to improve the bitcoin protocol with a hard fork.

Im not quite sure how you can bring that much improvements into it without googling the .icns extension first  :-\

It might be better for you to create an ERC20 token on ethereum. There are lots of tutorials available on the internet (https://www.google.com/).
