Is Decred built on top of the bitcoin blockchain via btcsuite/btcd or is it an entirely separate and independent entity? Sorry, I'm new, just trying to figure out the fundamentals. Thank you in advance.
So DCR doesn't interact with Bitcoin in any direct way? - like how xcp is built on Bitcoin. It sounds like it's a totally separate entity, I was confused when reading about btcsuite and it's role in the development of DCR.
