Why did they use the name Bytecoin, when it is already in use?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=169559.0

Probably because BTE is an unapologetic 1:1 clone of bitcoin, while this bytecoin is brand new and innovative with a completely different algorithm.

Plus bytecoin sounds great as a successor to bitcoin.

I causes confusion for both coins. If they can't do the basic check to see if the name is in use, that may make some people cautious of how much care they use in other areas.

Or probably because they called the coin Bytecoin before BTE appeared.

lol. BTE came out April 1, 2013.

No lol. BCN was launched July 4, 2012

According to a web site that didn't appear until more than a year later, and no other source.

Timestamp at first block proves it.

Oh really. Do you have any idea where those timestamps come from?

If they stored a hash of the the BCN genesis block into the BTC blockchain buried back in 2012, I'd be somewhat impressed. Timestamps in their own blockchain, not so much.
