Heritage: HACK, DRM

Problems:

* CRITICAL: Reward for block 22 can be any amount that is desired 
** The block explorer is compromised or the coin is serrepticious enough that it causes the block explorer to lie
** http://104.131.48.111:7200/block/00000283b17dbaa7445d64c988dcb7e58227ba49b686e029bbaf81bf67224993

review stopped at this point and early notice given to exchanges and miners. 

Notes:

this is where the dev allows a block with non-standard reward to be mined
