LOL, I looked at the plex git, and totally see what you're saying. It looks like they just forked so they'd have a bunch of code that looks like something. And after reading your post on Kore, I tend to agree with you. Quite sketch.
I had no idea of all the history here, as I've only been paying attention to crypto for like a month and a half. Is there a chart somewhere that shows all the main base projects and then the forks off of it? I tried googling a bit but didn't find anything. I need to catch up.
Thanks so much for your posts. I need to dig into the rest of your stuff. You're providing a great service for those of us who have a lot to learn. This is a huge technosystem. Everything I learn leads me to 4 other things I need to learn about.
At risk of driving you nuts with links to my posts, here's one where I send you to a great resource on the history of blockchain. :)
