Project, protocol and software acknowledgements

Qwertycoin is maintained by the Qwertycoin project and its contributors. The authoritative contributor history is the signed source-control history of the respective repositories rather than a static roster in this document.

The current v2 protocol, release engineering, infrastructure and documentation were developed and reviewed through the public repositories in the [`qwertycoin-org`](https://github.com/qwertycoin-org) organization.

Qwertycoin's privacy transaction model and substantial portions of its Core lineage derive from the CryptoNote and Monero ecosystems. The project also uses RandomX for proof of work and depends on numerous open-source libraries and tools. Their copyright notices and licenses remain authoritative in the source and binary distributions.

Earlier whitepaper authors and community contributors remain part of the project's history. Replacing outdated specifications does not erase that work; Git history preserves it while this edition accurately describes the current network.

Contributions are welcome through issues and pull requests. Security-sensitive reports should follow the disclosure instructions in the relevant repository rather than being posted with exploitable detail in public channels.
