    Question: Will there be a separate chain?
    Answer: No, there is no separate chain. It is the same blockchain as before the rebrand. Just the way it is displayed to users changes.

    Question: To change between address formats, can I simply edit the address by hand to change the prefix from "bitcoincash" to "ecash"? +
    + Answer: You should use an address converter if you need to convert between address formats. The body of the address contains a checksum which covers the prefix, so simply cutting and pasting the prefix by itself will cause a mismatch.

    Question: As a BCHA holder, what do I need to do for this rebranding?
    Answer: BCHA holders don't need to do anything. Even if you do nothing, the rebrand will take place automatically. When you upgrade to a new wallet after the rebrand, the display will change automatically to show your holdings as eCash instead of BCHA. If you don't upgrade your wallets, everything will continue to work as it did before. It is recommended to upgrade, as we expect most wallets and exchanges to use eCash/XEC, so it will be less confusing if you upgrade to a wallet that displays as eCash/XEC.
