Hi new here.
I am confused. Are there two fedoracoin TIPS ?
One old and one new for Bter?

Yes. The old chain works better for profit (but this is a personal opinion.), it looks like someone tries to push it down atm. on Bter. Can be mined on Hash to Coins. So you have to watch which chain you are on.

Did the first fedoracoin fork into two separate chains, only one of which is trading on bter? What exchange is the non-bter fork trading on, and why didn't the longest chain win?

From OP:

Q: Why a wallet-update that is causing a fork?
A: At some point in the recent past an attacker started to orphanize every and all blocks of all other TIPS miners.
The attacker was seemingly able to deliberatly orphanize any block or group of blocks he wished and claim them for himself.
Ahmed aka mrbodz kindly provided a new wallet source based on latest Feathercoin sources that uses ACP,
advanced checkpointing which counters this possible attack vector. Actually the new wallet would use the same blockchain as before,
but would refuse to accept series of blocks that orphanize large numbers of previous (honestly) mined blocks.
So as soon as the first attack started the new and improved wallet forked and stuck to the blocks of honest miners.

Is bter refusing to upgrade to the new attack resistant wallet and its forked chain?
