FYI Monero is not a fork of Bitcoin. Heavily inspired of course, but not technically a fork. Monero was based on an entirely different protocol called CryptoNote and they don't share the same genesis block either.
Thanks for the correction! Curious, when was cryptonote and what was sorta the backstory on that?
