History

Bitcoin Ocho is a Bitcoin fork created before Bitcoin implemented Segregated Witness (SegWit) as a base-layer scaling solution. Bitcoin Ocho derived its name from the size of its blocks (8 MB), which is the projects chosen on-chain scaling solution. Bitcoin Ocho also focuses on ASIC-resistant mining. The fork’s enthusiastic creator labels their fans as "Brochos".
