As Stated on the cryptsy chat box i can confirm that i zack clarck was the creator of ALF, i paid hazard to create alphacoin premined it and dumped my share 0.2% on coins-e. The remained was split between satoshi, hazard, SPMavrodi, pirateat40 and iammatrix. in order to get it onto an exchange i tried to give a tip to bitjohn but he refused and a tip to the guys at btc-e who refused cause the coin is crap. only coins-e accepted.

Hi Ahmed, thanks for the response. Am i understanding correctly that you are not the originator of the coin? Who owns the bytecoin domain(s)? Is there a way to contact these people? Why are some people claiming "merged mining will kill the coin"?

If the originator(s) of bytecoin are no longer interested I'm curious why you would be trying to do work for them? I mean.. if you are the one putting in the time i think a hostile take over of the coin is in order. We should grab a new domain and declare it the official home of bytecoin and leave the past where it wants to stay.

Also, I'm trying to understand why there would need be so much development on the client itself? Shouldn't it always remain an exact(almost) copy of the stable bitcoin branch? Or is bytecoin still behind on the bitcoin v0.8 fork? Is the bytecoin software veering away from the bitcoin code or is the intention to continually update bytecoin as bitcoin updates and essentially run the same code, different blockchain? I would think this is the very characteristic that would drive bytecoin adoption.

Thanks for ANY info!
