How did Zenithcoin work?

How do 50% of generated ZTCs go to the foundation?  Interesting.

Wait.. it didn't die and get completely forgotten about?

Nah, it did.

How does it work?

Well, you could just look at the code.
Half the block reward sent to the miner, half the reward sent to another address (there's a big list of the addresses in the code).

Hmm.  So if I replaced the addresses with my Zenithcoin address I would get some? (If I compiled it and rereleased Zenithcoin?)

ZenithCoin has been running non-stop for over 2 months.   

Replacing addresses would essentially create another chain (which is the same as creating your own coin).

How would they add addresses even before creating the coin though?
