Re: [VNL] VanillaCoin.net [WhirlpoolX Algo] [Whitepaper Inside] [Poloniex] Update!
the built-from-scratch codebase which isn't a clone from the bitcoin.
It's rather very deep refactoring of bitcoin codebase. Don't get me wrong, that's an excellent and long awaited thing (license issues aside). Bitcoin developers are way too conservative, code shows it's age and is sometimes a pain to work with. But the new code is so fresh I can't even use testnet to test my miner - despite the code for it is already there! 
We can agree that the main idea is bitcoin because that's the first crypto, but else than that this is something different. The legendary member had no clue that this isn't a clone of bitcoin and doesn't know that algo =/= code.
Just wanted to explain it in easy terms so he gets it.
