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.
Bitcoin was announced on a public mailing list, you can still see the archived message sent by Satoshi. Anyone that was aware of it could have mined bitcoin at launch, and it was announced quite some time before the first software release.
Bitcoin is an open ledger, you can still see where the Satoshi coins are stored and if they move, we can't say the same about the 82% coins mined before public release.
Those two things make quite a difference IMHO.
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.
And you where the one speaking about religion a few threads above ?
What evidence would satisfy you by the way?
One evidence.
- As I said no difference except for a more transparent launch. Satoshi IS a complete mystery and to say we know ALL his addys seems presumptuous. Besides BTC is pseudo-anonymous and Satoshi would risk revealing himself by spending his BTC. If only he could have done things differently
- The water/wine was tongue-in-cheek cause of previous comments. I'll replace those words with "they did something facking amazing", which they did.
- ONE evidence? Im sorry could you please be specific?
If you think about it it becomes incrediby hard to imagine what that "evidence" could be. Prob the only satisfying thing would be a BTC blcok entry (dated 2012) which would have been ironic anyway since part of BCN's birth represents a rejection of BTC and the direction BTC was going in.
