Are there any technical reasons why Monero Classic could not exist?
No reason. Some did just that (probably not intentionally, though). You're free to mine on that chain, I think it's still there. You could make an exchange and sell those monero if you wished (...

How can I create a new Monero genesis block?
Go here and screw around with the genesis tx and nonce. You probably also want to change other stuff (network id) to avoid contacting live Monero nodes.

Will the RingCT fork make it harder for other CryptoNote coins to merge improvements made to Monero?
Yes, it will. Every time a substantial change is made in one fork, the other forks will find it more difficult to port anything they might want where it conflicts.
I'd say the main change from the ...

Why is the Monero hash rate so low after the v7 fork compared to other Monero forks?
When Monero forked to v7, it changed its proof of work algorithm. While it previously used Cryptonight, it now uses a slight variant (technically, variant 1) of Cryptonight, which should be typically ...

Is Monero really decentralized, if the dev team can easily change the POW algorithm to fight off ASICs so easily?
Centralization is a continuum. Actions and circumstances move a particular system along that continuum.
There are several points which are topical here:
Monero development is made by a smallish ...

Confused about the monero hardforks that spawned xmc monero classic and xmo monero original?
