Great post! These screenshots have a wealth of information in them. Not knowing anything about PIVX, the pics from git also tell me the following things:
1. PIVX is a fork of Dash.
2. Since the fork, Dash has been a lot more active than PIVX (600 commits vs. 3444). But 600 commits is still pretty active, so your point stands. I'm guessing it's just that Dash has a larger dev team. 
3.  The dip in activity around the beginning of 2016 tells me this must have been when it forked, so PIVX has been around about a year and a half, but has all the history of Dash prior to that. A pretty good pedigree.
4. Kore either never was really a thing, or they took their repo private shortly after starting. Doesn't necessarily mean they're shady, but open is always better. Between the two, PIVX seems more solid, at least until Kore releases something.

Yes, I considered clarifying the PIVX inheritance of DASH commits, but I figured I wouldn't clarify the inheritance of previous work for ETH prior to the fork. My thought was, that much work has been put into it, no matter how you look at it. Technically, Bitcoin was forked to create Dash and that's another clarification of inheritance of existing work and so on.

KoreCoin was exposed in another of my posts, essentially it was a pump and dump at the time and the mike mike guy says he's the developer now (including in the comments on the post itself) and they're supposedly not using the old source, but he's actively promoting the old source on bitcointalk and twitter, along with the "new" website. He was also the developer originally, though he denies it. It's still evident in his bitcointalk history however. Also, in the comments of the post are screenshots of the pump group actively attempting to discredit me.

I help admin a fb crypto group (belonging to www.steemit.com/@cryptoclub ) and the associated beginner's group. I write focused on what the newcomers to the industry are being exposed to through hype and things they should know. I subscribe to the "teach a man to fish" philosophy. I focused on the major symptoms here because that's what our newbies need to help them learn right now (sideeye at "plexcoin", with no whitepaper, laughable github, but a great marketing team).
Cheers :)

LOL, I looked at the plex git, and totally see what you're saying. It looks like they just forked so they'd have a bunch of code that looks like something. And after reading your post on Kore, I tend to agree with you. Quite sketch.

I had no idea of all the history here, as I've only been paying attention to crypto for like a month and a half. Is there a chart somewhere that shows all the main base projects and then the forks off of it? I tried googling a bit but didn't find anything. I need to catch up.

Thanks so much for your posts. I need to dig into the rest of your stuff. You're providing a great service for those of us who have a lot to learn. This is a huge technosystem. Everything I learn leads me to 4 other things I need to learn about.

At risk of driving you nuts with links to my  posts, here's one where I send you to a great resource on the history of blockchain. :)
