Just because there wasn't a big announcement on bitcointalk doesn't mean bytecoin was premined. I was well aware of bytecoin last year. According to your logic everyone should abandon bitcoin because while it was being mined it went under the radar for the general population. Lets go ahead and support a bitcoin clone because you and everyone here weren't here to mine bitcoin at the start.. Retarded logic. There are also numerous dark web services supporting bytecoin which is what gives a coin its underlying value apart from speculation from miners and traders. I personally don't see any darkweb services dropping bytecoin to support monero or any other fork for that matter just because a few miners weren't in the know and want a reboot of the coin. If you operate on the clearnet you will only get clearnet news.. it's that simple.
