What is a Fork?

Someone takes the complete code of an existing Cryptocurrency and use it to make a new one.

So am i right when saying, first at all, XSH copied everything from XVG?

BTW, i am with you, XVG needs to be some change in there DEV-Team, otherwise they will get big problems in future.

But this "who-copied-from-whom"-game is a bit ridiculous for both, XVG and XSH...

Just my two cents...

No first off it was Bitcoin and then Pivx and then Verge and then shield or pretty close to that. Either way Verge is nothing but a fork of another coin that was originally a shitcoin named DogecoinDark.

Forking Code bases is how you build on and expand existing projects into other projects. For instance lets say I wanted to make Monero with Masternodes then I would fork the Monero code base which was originally the Bitmonero base which in turn was the Bytecoin base and then I would add the code for Masternodes which I think is in the Darkcoin base.

Understand? Now don't get this confused with Hard Forking the chain as that is a separate deal altogether.
