There is no "scam". A group of anonymous guys creates a revolutionary anonymous currency whose specific origins you were never meant to know and you get pissed cause you dont know them? Take your ball and go home.
If we weren't meant to know they should stop telling us about the claimed 2012 launch date and the rest of the "secret" [
cough, cough] backstory (and more importantly stop telling potential scam victims).
Either prove it or stop using unproven claims to promote it.
As I said earlier, the most honest, accurate, and fair statement to make about the origin of this coin is:
[ANN] [BCN] Bytecoin - 82% mined at public release
