🔴 A hard fork of Bitcoin that aims to redistribute Satoshi's BTC… why should we be cautious?

A few days ago, developer @Truthcoin announced eCash, a hard fork of Bitcoin scheduled for August 2026.
Starting from block 964,000, the network will split into two separate branches. They will share the same history but with different rules.
From a technical perspective, eCash remains very close to Bitcoin, with some particularities:
◽️ Activation of drivechains via BIP-300 and BIP-301: this will allow Bitcoin's functionalities to be expanded to provide more programmability and scalability.
(Their integration has always been rejected by the Bitcoin community for years, hence the need for a fork).
◽️ Redistribution of a portion of Satoshi Nakamoto's BTC: which amounts to arbitrarily changing the network's initial state.
As with any fork, BTC holders on Bitcoin will automatically receive an equivalent amount in eCash.
This is where the main problem with eCash arises: the lack of protection against “replay attacks.”
After the fork, both blockchains will share many things: the same UTXO set, the same keys, the same transaction formats, and the same signatures.
If you send 1 BTC, a copy of that transaction can be replayed on eCash and spend your eCash without your consent. And potentially vice versa (even if Sztorc says otherwise).
But that's not all. To interact with eCash, you'll need to use new software and import your private keys, identical to those used on Bitcoin.
In short, with all this in mind, the best approach remains simple: do not interact with eCash.
