That is true. But why did Poloniex decide to list BCN and have not taken a look at Aeon? BCN was known for cheating the community for its mine and they have faked their timestamps by making it appear that it started mining on 2012. There was also a fake story about it being a secret currency used in the darknet.

Who are the developers of BCN now?

You know, this has always been a concern of mine... at the Monero NYC Meetup not too long ago, Surae brought up something that I have been wondering about now since then; and that is, if we got this new awesome crypto algorithm from Bytecoin that we are basing everything on and not Bitcoin's... then how much can we trust it?

That is a very rough paraphrase there, but that's what he was basically saying and he said he was going to look into it in his research at the Monero Research Lab.

I know this doesn't answer your question, lol... sorry. Just was curious if anyone knew any more about that?

Is cryptonote invented by the same developers who created Bytecoin? I do not know the full history of cryptonote and it would be nice to be given some URLs of articles about its story and how it came to be. Thank you.

Also, what are the updates on Surae's concerns?
