You realize that BCN is, in effect, 80% premined ? It was not released on clearnet until about a week ago.
Bytecoin was launched 7/4/2012 (I mean - in darkweb). We know that old BCN-users are very closed but the devs communicate with us and send puzzles from time to time. Info about this can be found here (this thread).
Also I think nobody will create a coin and wait for 2 years before going into the market. It even sounds stupid
I've finally synchronized my blockchain with this new version of code and downloaded some statistics. Here is a difficulty chart starting from the genesis block.
Spike in november 2012 looks strange for me, but it exists in data.
