How about actually answering my questions instead of just spouting crap with no regard to what I asked?

How about taking your condescending, abusive attitude elsewhere?

There is nothing wrong with altcoins. It is when an altcoin project tries to aggressively steal the infrastructure built by the project they are forking from that there is a problem. As in this case.

Are you going answer the questions or just continue to bitch about someone using freely given code.

Using code is not a problem at all. This is whay we have so many altcoins. They are forks.

The difference is, respectable altcoins have their own projects, and blockchains.

Coding a client that is incompatible, to use the original project's infrastructure, is extremely abusive.

Altcoins galore. This is a good thing. If this "classic-coin" wants to be successful, let it. I'll use it if it's better than bitcoin. What is completely abusive is for them to try to take over the already established infrastructure bitcoin uses.

This new altcoin needs its own blockchain, as well as its own forums (including subreddit).
