"by copying Bitcoin source code and tweaking the new currency and that is the first red flag about the project". You just called out almost every Bitcoin based altcoin and indirectly most other coins that were derived from a parent coin like Cryptonote etc. That statement just makes me think you aren't qualified to review cryptocurrencies.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Most of those are indeed scams, very rare code forks are transparent and introducing real changes that will impact users. Not the case of Verge that mostly use marketing and cosmetic changes, once in a while copy code of other currencies to bump version and try to pump their value. Their clients could be used on most of other bitcoin forks with a few changes and would have the same performance on similar performance, what doesn’t make Verge any special. But you can qualify anyone as you please.
