"The Inquisition was a group of institutions within the Catholic Church whose aim was to combat heresy, conducting trials of suspected heretics." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inquisition

This is a fork of bitcoin with the goal of making it easy to do a deep investigation of the value of proposed consensus (and to a lesser extent, relay policy) changes. To do so, we disable support of non-controlled chains (ie, mainnet and testnet; only leaving support for regtest and signet), change the way activation works, and aggressively merge proposed changes. To keep things relatively simple, we base changes on released versions of Bitcoin Core.
