Peter Sztorc, founder of eCash, has defended his Bitcoin hard fork plans, dismissing allegations of attempting to steal Satoshi Nakamoto's 1.1 million BTC. Sztorc clarified that the hard fork will not take any of Satoshi's BTC but will instead gift 600,000 eCash tokens to Satoshi. The hard fork, scheduled for August at block height 964,000, will allow BTC holders to receive eCash on a 1:1 basis and introduce Ethereum-style Layer 2 drivechains for smart contracts. Despite Sztorc's assurances, the proposal has faced criticism from the community. Peter McCormack, a BTC investor, labeled the plan as 'theft and disrespectful,' citing potential confusion with existing privacy features like the Lightning Network's ecash. Sztorc maintains that Satoshi's BTC will remain untouched, with 600,000 eCash tokens to be sold to fund the project. The eCash hard fork aims to avoid the pitfalls of previous Bitcoin hard forks, such as Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV, which struggled with trust and adoption.
