I am a bytecent investor. I am not ie or a sock puppet. I had trouble connecting to the wallet the first 2 days and was mildly pissed that difficulty was so low during that period, but that aside I have no issues with how IE has launched and is developing the coin. I honestly believe a few people whos ips were banned from mining were trying to cheat the system. Maybe some innocent miners have been affected as well but how else could fairness be restored. I am not sure if there is a super miner as there is supposed to be a Pps cap. Remember this is just a beta phase before public release outside these forums. I say we just need to see what the public release brings and do our part to tell our friends that this coin is different. Anyone can mine it with a laptop. It's fast and easy to install. The dev is working it full time and running it as a for profit project.
Which is what separates BYC from ALL the others: It's run for profit and with professionalism by someone who understand promotion and business in general, as oppose of geek coders with no experience in life whatsoever or geek coders associated with unsavoury characters. Hence the success.
