Edit: if someone uses Tor and is interested to try to discover something about Paladincoin: http://xxvxqnbatbidn4tq.onion/
It's an abandoned (no posts since 2013) WoW forum, so totally unrelated.Also looking at http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://buddhacoin.pixub.com/ there is nothing older than this years April 4.
So probably more of the usual bullshit.
If is abandoned since oct 2013 this proves that bytecoin existed before so they forked, Is my line of thinking correct?
According to kazuki49, who posted this image first, it was founded at Wikipedia's page about CryptoNote: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1011558.msg11067467#msg11067467
The image was uploaded to it on March 25, claiming to be the own work of the user's based on MapofCoins' informations by MARIODOESBREAKFAST.

It seems is very easy to submit a new coin to MapofCoins now, and probably the operators of that site are not being very careful to verify the data: http://mapofcoins.com/contribution
The references about these coins were added at the same date earlier by antother user, Terry Richard: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CryptoNote&diff=653453338&oldid=653446719
As a big coincidence, the topic about Bytecoin's new website and development roadmap appeared just 6 days after this. And 11 days after Buddhacoin appearing at CryptoNote forum.

I think this is the announcement thread of paladin i also downloaded the binaries they are *.jar, this is java correct.
And again, no source code. How many coins claiming to exist before Bytecoin's real date launch will appear now?

Edit: Archiving the downloads page of Buddhacoin: https://archive.today/cqzxl
And the CryptoNote forum topic about this coin: https://archive.today/t9OI8
Edit2: Re-reading the topic from the CryptoNote forum (4th post). Spring 2013? Hmmmm...

The development of C++ implementation started back in Spring 2013 and was finished by Autumn.
You can download the source code in the announcement forum.
This is all a mess, can someone with the expertise inspect the forum and the source code of paladin.
