In short BCN have described the origins of BCN stemming from cooperating groups on the darknets. The is coroborated by the Cryptonote Team. Monero asks for evidence and proof which (unsurprisingly to me) are not provided* given the secretive nature/origins/development of this coin. Contrary to Monero thinking the absence of evidence is not (in this case) evidence of absence.
It is not Monero who asks for evidence, I am not a Monero holder and would also like to see some evidence to support their arguments. Moreover, I am absolutely sure that most Bytecoin holders would also like to see some kind of evidence.
As long as they don't provide any evidence, the people behind CN/BCN should not be trusted.
I never said you were a Monero holder.
Personally I dont see much diff between BTC and BCN. People can compare the distros of the two (BTC's being more transparent) but in every other regard the origins, creators and motives for creating it remain a complete mystery.
For me the devs here have already turned water into wine and dont need to prove anything. The code they have produced speaks for itself. What evidence would satisfy you by the way?
