Bytecoin is just a currency,alternative crypto currency.
Not forked from anything, made from the scratch.
We are having new devs and huge community +in the beggining of October we will have a new website + most probably will be listed on 3 big markets.

I think we have a very very very very good chances even without innovations.
How coin is built itself matters,there are many coins on market with same idea in the core.

One more time - Its Just A Different Crypto Currency!
