Where to check the price of eCash, the new Bitcoin Fork by Paul Sztorc?

[retweeting]

What is their official Website?

Also, do we have a Blockchain Explorer for this?

Do not download this wallet, let reputable members confirmed that I am correct.

This is the website: https://ecash.com/
You can use this explorer: https://blockchair.com/ecash

There is not where the coin is listed, so no price.

It is in Alpha stage and the project has been disappointing.

I think the beta stage will begin on 20th of September

I didn't know about that fork, is it true that he wants to allocate some of Satoshi's dormant coins to early investors?

I have seen that it was planned for October, then in August, so apart from what you comment it would be good for you to comment on some more details you may know such as the date on which the fork has been or will be carried out, so that we can all be informed.

I have found the website https://ecash.com I don't know if it is official but so it seems. According to the website, the (edit: alpha release) will happen in a little less than 20 hours.

No, that is not possible. Only Satoshi Nakamoto that has the private key access to the coins can spend it. During hard fork like BCH, anyone that has any amount of bitcoin will be given the same amount in BCH. That is what will happen during any hard fork and eCash is not an exception.

Example is if you have 0.037 BTC, you will be airdropped 0.037 ECX.

Ticker of the eCash is ECX

It is the official site but I will like reputable memberoto confirmed it.

The website (ecash.com) posted above seem to be the official website based on Paul Sztorc's tweets[1][2] but the Blockchair link is not, that's a different project (see the logo).

Unless you know what you're doing, I wouldn't really recommend rushing into downloading a new wallet and using your seedphrase to claim the fork. Besides, with no known wallets or exchanges support, the coin is going to be worthless anyway. Stay safe.

It is true, he actually does want to re allocate the forked early Bitcoins.  It is not possible to re allocate the BITCOINS but it is possible to create an eCash hard fork where they change ownership.

The project is in my opinion very little known by people and as a consequence there are many risks you assume when trying to claim your forked coins.  I would at the very least wait until more people jump in trying to claim theirs and I would wait to see if it even has any value at all.  It may end up not even being worth claiming.

Yes, the https://blockchair.com/ecash is not the official explorer. There can not be official explorer than running owns node to check the information just like bitcoin. I thought he will understand but it is good that you make the clarification.

Thanks for letting me know this, which means it is a stupid project. The airdropped that belongs to Satoshi, he wants to claim it.

This is a very stupid project.

The more I see new things like this about the fork, the more I see the reason the stay away from it.

Took you long enough to figure it out .

You obviously need to put your seed into a wallet dedicated to eCash (I'm sure new scam wallets will erupt in a matter of time), just to claim some eCash that's basically of no value currently. That feels like too much unnecessary risk to me.

The money isn't worth putting your keys at risk or making some dumb mistake eventually that could cost you your real BTC, all in the f name of claiming some fork coins

Are you sure? Where can I see nodes that signal for BIP 110

There are already and there is a coin on solana that was created recently that has the name just to deceive people.

Nobody know that yet, they planed it so that it will be on the bear market probably so that the coin may rise in the bull market.

After the airdrop, you can send your bitcoin to another wallet that has another private key before you begin the process to claim the forked coin.

I am expecting the coin to be 10 times lesser than the value of bitcoin in a way someone that has $1000 in bitcoin will be able to see $100.

Even if it is 100 times less, there are some people that has huge amount of bitcoin which will be a bonus for them but it will be good if they later sell the coins and use it to buy bitcoin because the coin can not have a good value later.

Not that he wants to claim it all, but according to what I read from the proposal, the idea is to airdrop only 600,000 of the fork (eCash) to Satoshi addresses, and the remaining 500,000 will be reserved or allocated to developers, and it’s also for pre-launching; just consider it a form of fundraising for the developer of “eCash” through the fork. Some people are regarding that idea as theft.

If the project becomes a success, this will no longer be something to think about, like in the past. In the same way people claimed Bitcoin Cash, for security reasons if someone is having doubt, it’s better you move your Bitcoin to a new/safe wallet before exposing your seed in the dedicated claim wallet; that way, if anything occurs, your Bitcoin won’t be affected.

No, that is not possible. Only Satoshi Nakamoto that has the private key access to the coins can spend it. During hard fork like BCH, anyone that has any amount of bitcoin will be given the same amount in BCH. That is what will happen during any hard fork and eCash is not an exception.

When an altcoin is created, a new protocol is being created and what is and isn't possible in that protocol depends on those who created it, not the original source. And they can change anything they want.

For example when the first copy was created out of bitcoin (just the code though, not the chain) they replaced the hash algorithm (SHA256) with Scrypt and changed the time between blocks from 10 min to 2.5 min and called the result Litecoin.

So it is not only possible but trivial to change rules or add new ones that allows them to spend any outputs including those created in early blocks that are believed to belong to Satoshi.

The alpha stage is over, and the beta stage is coming in less than a month; let's see what those who first download the wallet say.

Based on the site

Starting at block ~963,648 (alpha), every address holding BTC receives a matching balance in eCash — practice $ECX at alpha and beta, permanent $ECX at mainnet (block ~973,728). No registration. No pre-claim. No changes to your Bitcoin.

I don't see potential in this project, but what am I going to lose if I keep my Bitcoin in a non-custodial wallet, wait for the snapshot, and claim it later when it's safe to do so?
I'll only proceed when it's confirmed that it's safe to do so.

Sure about what? Everyone knows about that. I'm referencing what you typed actually

Expect more, especially when it gains some ground.

Yeah probably.

After the airdrop, you can send your bitcoin to another wallet that has another private key before you begin the process to claim the forked coin.

Nope, you still don't get it. You have to import first or still need the new private key: https://github.com/ecash-com/fast-facts/blob/main/03-replay-protection-and-coin-splitting.md.

Or https://gist.github.com/RobinLinus/48d08307e960e4461b3e4b4feabf29e9 . Unless they did  something about it which I'm not sure as of now.

Maybe  but until then, let's see how it plays out.

I'll only proceed when it's confirmed that it's safe to do so.

Yes, this is the right mindset. Go ahead only when its safe and there's more infos available.  Besides, it’s worth nothing for now as I've mentioned earlier
