New Bitcoin Fork Proposal to Redistribute Satoshi's Coins Bitcoin developer Paul has proposed a fork to redistribute Satoshi's 1.1 million coins. The plan involves copying Bitcoin onto a new chain called eCash, with a native eCash token. If you hold 4.19 BTC at the time of the fork, you'll receive 4.19 eCash, and Satoshi's coins will be redistributed. This proposal is definitely not going to pass—Satoshi would be the first to disagree.
