If none of these messages are signed with proper pgp key of cicada then DONT believe they are who they say they are.
So please guys, only believe this if they show us a signed message!!
Yeah really anyone reading this thread could have picked up on the cicada talk so who knows who actually sent that message.
Meant for fair distribution from the start. Fairness of distribution is so important.
Most of the evidence earlier in the thread suggests a large amount (around 80%) has already been mined over the past two years by who knows
so I wouldn't necessarily say fairness is a selling point (edit: see below). Assuming what is stated in the whitepaper is in fact implemented, however, bytecoin has several significant improvements, most notably comparative anonymity.
edit: By the way DStrange, thanks for the giveaway, which arrived in my wallet this afternoon.
