It is as likely the coin was mined in small private circles as anything else.
Isn't this enough to stop BCN ever becoming anything special, no matter how much effort goes into developing it? I think most people would simply see this as an unfair distribution at best, and at worst (faked blockchain) a scam. Whether either or neither of these is true, the coin is tainted and I suspect has no real future.
i think almost every coin has terrible distribution. id guess 99% of coins have 1/2 of their total supply controlled by 1-100 people.
if BCN continue to push development i think adoption can grow.
