Anyone fork BTC and play around with it? I have yet to do so.

Which features would you work on?
Well ive been coding my own blockchain, and from time to time like to poke around on the inside, the most curious thing to me is why BNB smartchain had so much success with a hostile fork. Thats why ive been forking here and there playing around. Trying to see why they did, what features they changed, and just to kind of clarify it. ETHW is an interesting fork. As to BTC i want to see the why bitcoin cash did what it did and why it even makes sense to do this. What type of security and control benefits and how well it plays out.
The this leads me down the rabbit hole of polkadot, avax, and cosmos. What does a layer 0 mean compared to the others and what security risks are involved there with interoperability. I wont lie whats lead me down this is the UST collapse and Anchor protocol. Just kind of weird has all these coins and chains dont have value and can implode or shut down like bnb smart chain in october.
Interesting. Might this be due to more apps on those chains that leads to security bugs/ vulnerabilities. At least for ETH the algorithms look sophisticated as I took a look but whew, maybe down the rabbit hole poking around would actually lead to discovery of risks.
Precisely why tests nets are important apparently to find the bug issues of the contract, noticed a lot d apps on eth dont have their own test nets so you have to fork eth and run against it in a private environment.
Thats why i wanted to kind of run a compare and contrast of everything and figure out the differences. The brc fork i did is interesting as well. Fuck the algorithms man im already at a headache from all the math. Just want to see the $$$ these guys are all making on the backend and what they do with it. I kind of like forensics lol after a while ill look at layers 2 on btc and dive in there im very interested in RSK and Mintlayer when it comes out on the 28th
Take it easy with the algorithms man. Looking at the blueprints you might see some limitations. On the other hands playing around is fun and practical too.
