ECX to Launch Mainnet on Oct 31, BTC Holders to Get 1:1 ECX

A 1:1 distribution to most BTC holders is essentially an airdrop at network launch, which makes the eligibility criteria — left vague here — the real story, since any snapshot or claim mechanism will determine who actually receives tokens and whether they interact with the chain. The design choice to tie ECX's initial supply to Bitcoin holders rather than a standalone sale suggests the project is importing an existing user base instead of bootstrapping one. Whether that converts into genuine usage or just immediate sell pressure is the open question once the mainnet goes live.
