I realize you're all busy with the Appwrite Cloud, but I've been working on an extensive set of Appwrite Functions for Cryptocurrency Integration of Bitcoin & EVM Chains for a while now. This includes extensions to the Console in Svelte and MariaDB Schema, Utopia PHP Code, allowing for not just the exposure of crypto to the app & server-side, but furthermore a centralized exchange management facility directly in the Console.

Of course useage of Crypto would be as optional as useage of Databases or Storage.

I would suggest to just submit a Marketplace Template for Appwrite Functions, but native integration and support in the Console is just too valueable.

In case you refuse it this time too because it is too nieche- Any bad feelings if I hard fork Appwrite into Cryptwrite and do it? Publicly?

@Eldad

Even if the Cryptocurrency part is disliked, we should definitely consider https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/issues/7231 into official AppWrite

TL;DR
The user is seeking permission to fork the Appwrite repository and create a custom version called Cryptwrite. They are asking for confirmation from the core team and clarification on how to comply with the license conditions. They also mention their work on Appwrite Functions for cryptocurrency integration and express the desire for native integration and support in the Appwrite Console. No solution is provided in this support thread.

At least from what I understand after reading the license: https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/blob/main/LICENSE

You can do a fork without any problems, and use a custom name.

However you should comply with the mentioned points there: 1. Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.

TypeScript
2. Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution.

3. Neither the name Appwrite nor the names of its contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.

Probably someone from core could confirm it and give an additional guidance. You should wait more than usual since it's the weekend
