joeykrug and I have implemented a proof-of-concept version of the "Bitcoin spin-off" discussed in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=563972.0.
Website: http://www.sidecoin.net
Source: https://github.com/AugurProject/Sidecoin
Whitepaper: http://augur.link/sidecoin.pdf
"Sidecoin" (our demo/example implementation) is a fork of Bitcoin 0.9.1. We modified it to support loading "snapshot" balances into the first (non-genesis) block, as well as trustless sidecoin claims using a new "claimtx" RPC command. Details are in the whitepaper!
Hope this can be useful to someone
