BeInCrypto reported that public criticism is intensifying regarding the new Bitcoin hard fork 'eCash' being promoted by developer Paul Sztorc. eCash is scheduled to be distributed at a 1:1 ratio based on BTC holdings in August, and 600,000 eCash will also be distributed from the 1.1 million BTC held by Satoshi Nakamoto. Although it is not directly extorting Satoshi's BTC, some in the industry point out that it is an act of theft and disrespect.
