The only way to save this coin is to relaunch with a fair start for everyone. Of course, that won't happen because you're heavily vested.
The relaunch is here!
Monero.
No, once a fork forever is a fork
You are forgeting Litecoin is a fork of Bitcoin.
Bytecoin will always have the stigma of one of the dodgiest launches ever. Just like Quark, the "super fast mining" stigma will bite its ass forever, no matter what they do. The fact you have to have an act of faith and thing there is some huge community on the deep web and it's not just a small comunity of people and the devs holding is laughable at best.
Plus Monero has already improved everything Bytecoin tried to do in 2 years.
