Bitcoins block chain implementation and idea is innovative and revolutionary. Your do... while example is not. Also, the blockchain is sort of the most important bit of bitcoin. I struggle to see how you're missing this...
MS Excel uses do...while loops, my latest project uses do...while loops, therefore my project is based on Excel. I was reading it as algorithm use not literally forking the codebase as appears to be the case. Not everything using Quicksort is a kissing cousin of everything else using Quicksort, for example.
Its still cheesy as a marketing scheme. This thing's bitcoin, that means its a currency, right, or a funds storage system, or a psuedobank, or .. oh its a microblog service. LAME.
From a tech perspective I think its cool as an unusual use of the algorithm and technology.
