Bitcoin holders have received eCash — What can you do with it?

Paul Sztorc's LayerTwo Labs launched eCash, a hard fork of Bitcoin, on Oct. 29, built around Drivechains to enable sidechains for payments, privacy and other applications. Bitcoin holders who controlled their private keys at block 973,728 receive an equivalent ECX balance; the article warns that unprotected BTC spends can be replayed on the ECX network, so ECX should be moved first.
