And as we see from 2018, the so-called developers are gone. All because they sold their coins on the stock
Binance very expensively. Their goal has been achieved. The story with the coin can be said to be closed !!!
1st - first block was in 2012 with a block reward over 700k coins
https://explorer.bytecoin.org/block?height=1they show share in there site, the first block. you can see in
www.bytecoin.org/oldBack then was more easy to mine.
2nd - Vitalyk premined 72M (70%) coins between 2012 and 2014 and no one is talking about it.
No one knows how much BTC was premined too... so that story about premined BCN was no story...
