Bytecoin claims transactions are processed in about 2 minutes. b)Security: Bytecoin “protects user’s money with the most secure and modern cryptographic algorithms” that “are impossible to hack”.

For that reason, you’re the only one who can access your wallet. c) Safe private data: Bytecoin claims that it’s “totally impossible to get information about your financial operations and wallet balance” unless you choose to reveal that information.

Bytecoin (BCN) is a decentralised, anonymous cryptocurrency written from scratch and launched in July 2012. Its concept is based on the CryptoNote technology which focuses on privacy and anonymity of transactions. It comes with a number of unique features, such as ring signatures to make payments untraceable, an exchange protocol to make transactions unlinkable, and several others. Some other interesting features of the cryptocurrency include "egalitarian" proof-of-work mechanism and an analysis-resistant blockchain. Bytecoin is designed to be easily mined on an average personal computer while being resistant to mining with specialised ASIC hardware. The Bytecoin software is available in two variants - as a Bytecoin reference client that uses a command-line interface to manage transactions and to mine coins, or a Bytecoin wallet with an easy-to-use an intuitive graphical user interface.
