It does not say anywhere who created this coin and why. Also how much preminning happened with this coin?

Check here

Bytecoin was launched with no pre-mining, but almost immediately a guy who goes by Ahmed Bodi from BC, Canada (I think) pointed a big ASIC at the coin. He and his gang scarfed over 100,000 BTE during the first year from startup. He would mine until the difficulty went up, wait till it dropped at the next recalc, mine again and so on. He did this at least half a dozen times, but then seemed to lose interest.

We have had several posters on this thread recently that I suspect are Bodi or one of his associates posing as newbies under different handles.

Difficulty is now down to 264k, so now is a good time to start mining.

This coin evidently needs a hardfork to a more responsive diffalgo (like Dark Gravity Wave, etc.)
I tried to compile a node, but the code is quite obsolete ... lots of errors related to new SSL library / BIGNUM.
I set up a node tracker / DNS seeder for fun, with the few IP's I found on the thread, but so far has not found any novel nodes, it just gives back the hard coded IP from this thread:
