TechFlow News: On April 27, according to CoinDesk, Paul Sztorc—a developer long focused on Bitcoin scaling solutions—proposed a Bitcoin hard fork named eCash to occur at block height 964,000 in August 2026. The fork would distribute eCash to BTC holders on a 1:1 basis at the time of the fork and introduce the Drivechains sidechain architecture on the new chain. Controversy centers on the proposal’s plan to pre-allocate a portion of eCash corresponding to Satoshi Nakamoto’s address on the new chain to early investors—a move criticized by the community, with some accusing it of “stealing” tokens. Paul Sztorc stated that this allocation aims to incentivize development and collaboration prior to the project’s launch.
