My reply to you old friend is to look into BTE. Spread your focus. You will be ok.

I do not understand what part of EXACT copy of bitcoin you do not understand? ANY change in the protocol is just another altcoin. If you want lower difficulties or different hashing algorithims then create your AhmedCoin and let bytecoin grow organically the way it is doing so far. I know you are mad because current difficulty is too high for your mining hardware but the protocol is on schedule to release the 21,000,000 coins in the 140 year timeframe. In other words, BTE bytecoin is fine, well, alive and growing. Just focus your good energy on something Pro Bytecoin like a better USD/BTE exchange or an open free market that only accepts BTE as payments or maybe a Pool or something. But understand, bytecoin is perfect as is, just as bitcoin is.
