Bitcoin Core source code contains more 100K lines of code(80K of C++ only), Nxt is more than 45K line of Java code. All parts of the design(network/transactional/consensus protocols) are mixed in a hard way. So researchers and developers are not in good start positions to make experiments.


You must be kidding


This is from the scorex announcement thread OP. It says not to buy any ICOs based on it because it's intentionally not production-ready, and any clones (like waves) are identical apart from one or two controversial features.

Scorex comes with two consensus algos from Nxt and Qora that can be switched with a change to one line of code.

Scorex was made for devs to experiment on, it's not stable enough for use as a proper coin, and was never intended to be. That could be why the waves "network" was shut down for over five hours today for "maintenance".




Scorex is less than _4K lines of Scala code_. Transactions layer is as simple as just tokens transfers. Consensus algo  could be switched easily(with two consensus algos out of the box,  one could be replaced with an another with just one line of code edited!)

* Major coins forks are trying to make IPO immediately, often having just one or two pretty controversial features introduced. **Scorex is intentionally not production-ready**, so please participate in any  non-commercial experiments built on top of it, but don't buy tokens unless you are 100+% sure what are you doing.
 

Features

* Two 100% Proof-of-Stake consensus algos out of the box, Nxt-like and Qora-like. One algo could be replaced with an another with just one line of code edited (in Constants.scala)
