Bcn launched in 2012, where it was announced ? And Whats the relation of bcn and mro? I'm pretty confused yet interested.
Bytecoin has been mined for almost two years in secret, something like 80% of all coin has already been released.
Because Bytecoin's technology through CryptoNote is too important for the world for such a pre-mine, Bytecoin was forked into a coin that the community could participate in from day one.
That coin is Monero.
Also the community has decided, Monero's hashrate is around 8 times that of Bytecoin.
