afaik Jaxx doesn't support ERC20 tokens yet, so I don't recommend to use Jaxx for BEC at this point (jaxx works for ETC though)

ETC has 3M+ blocks, but BEC token mining started just recently. About 1M of total 21M are already mined (we're in initial era, when first 50% of tokens going to be distributed)

BitEther is independent token on Ethereum Classic blockchain, so it has different timeframe and supply. Just cross-mined with same blocks

I do not understand this new coin? but mining is already underway, and received more than 3 million blocks.
Explain, please

It's already supported by MyEtherWallet, it will show balance in BEC, and allow to transfer, if your account has any BEC

what if we use from MyEtherWallet?

BitEther is a token built on top of existing smart contract technology of Ethereum Classic. It rewards ETC miner with an additional token (BEC) - miner receives two rewards, by doing same amount of job. Ethereum Classic is a PoW chain, original chain left after Ethereum Foundation made their fork.

BitEther follows Bitcoin monetary supply, with 21M coins total, halving each 3 years and 50% distribution by year 2019. 99% will be distributed by year 2034, as about same time as for Bitcoin. Reward is 2 BEC coins per ETC block, which is comparable to 50 BTC per 10 minutes.


|Era #||% of mined||Emission Rate||Bec Per ETC Block||Year|
Era 150%50 BEC2 BEC2019
Era 275%25 BEC1 BEC2021
Era 388%12.5 BEC0.5 BEC2024
Era 494%6.25 BEC0.25 BEC2026

This an experimental coin designed to demonstrate abilities of Ethereum Classic blockchain and to incentivize Dapp developers to add additional value to chain and to improve network security.  

BEC follows ERC20 specification for custom tokens on Ethereum Classic, which makes it compatible with most of existing wallets and software on Ethereum Classic blockchain. Also a standard token for Ethereum Classic wallet.

Main features that it’s a first coin of that class in Ethereum Classic, it have familiar economic capabilities, and can be a base layer for future development in that field.
