Here's how you can make any coin use html5:

nothing special about I/O

Here's the IOCoin source for anyone that wants it: https://filetea.me/default/#t1sy2v9Bz0nQ3ut0s7MjzeNXg
Just use jsbeautifier.org on the build.js

its minified, but its relatively easy to figure out

Again, the copyright to the code is held by the I/O Coin Team. If individuals want to mod it to work with another coin, fine, but I don't think we will take kindly to other coins distributing modified versions of our code.

I know most alt-coins are 99.99% borrowed code + 5 minutes a "developer" spent changing the name of the coin, but we're actually trying to make something original here.

Hmm, looks like I/O's source code out in the open for any coin to implement.

I/O's "html5" wallet is not a real implementation... they basically just took a web front-end, and stuck it in a wrapper. Anyone can do this, requires almost no real work.

The source code is not out in the open, any more than the Google Docs source code is out in the open. Our wallet ships with a minified version of the code because that's the nature of Javascript.

As to "Anyone can do this, requires almost no real work", that's really insulting considering the amount of time I've worked on writing this wallet from scratch. What's your basis for making such a judgement? Have you ever made a wallet like this from scratch before? I don't think so, or you would know better.

I dare you to try to find this "web front-end" that we took from someone else and stuck in a wrapper, because that didn't happen and it doesn't exist. Period.
