Hi,  
I’m discovering blockcerts and sounds great. Some questions to better understand how it works :

a) have you forked the bitcoincore blockchain, or rewrite something new ? (If I’m right you’ve created your own network, true ?)  
b) is there a way to look for the registry  
c) do you have any timeline / roadmap ?

Thanks

Hey Mike,

Welcome! In regard to your questions:

a) Blockcerts is not a new network, but rather a standard for reading/writing to any blockchain. The current libraries are focused on anchoring/verifying records on the Bitcoin Blockchain, but this will soon expand to include other blockchains.

b) There is no central registry.

c) The roadmap for ongoing development is [located here.](http://www.blockcerts.org/guide/roadmap.html)
