ECX Hard Fork Splinters into Three Separate Launches

Bitcoin's ECX hard fork is set to splinter into three separate launches by October. This development comes after the initial plan to merge the two chains was put on hold due to disagreements among the stakeholders.

The original intention was to create a single merged chain, but it seems that the hard fork will now proceed with three distinct branches instead.

ECX is an altcoin that uses Bitcoin's codebase as its foundation. The fork's proponents claim that it will improve the cryptocurrency's security and scalability features.
