Man, you have to have nightmares with Romano

If you don't like Romano or the coin is ok, respectable, but if you are going to say bad things at least they have to be true.
If he only knew me

I'm pretty funny at least right ?
And yes Viacoin is based on Bitcoin Core. Just like Dash, Litecoin, Doge & other coins.
Well even Zcash is based on Bitcoin Core but 0.11 if I'm right.
It isn't a secret or something.
Based on Bitcoin gives us a good survival rate.
But I can understand that you don't like it.
However I don't have a 20 million dollar ICO coin or something that has a premine

Viacoin code is opensource, I just do it as a volunteer.
If you don't like the code, you can submit your own for review.
