Bitcoin is decentralized digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the
world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and

licensing.
Bytecoin is a first CryptoNote-based cryptocurrency. A CPU-mined coin, it's primary advantages are

anonymous than Bitcoin and all its existing forks. The developers claim a person’s right to privacy
is their primary concern and strictly observe their own privacy. Bytecoin was started on July 4th, 2012.
BCN is based on CryptoNote, an open-source technology for anonymous cryptocurrencies. It utilizes

In case other chains based on CryptoNote will appear they also can be used as "donor" chains.
