Why did they use the name Bytecoin, when it is already in use?

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bte-the-bytecoin-information-thread-169559

Probably because BTE is an unapologetic 1:1 clone of bitcoin, while this bytecoin is brand new and innovative with a completely different algorithm.

Plus bytecoin sounds great as a successor to bitcoin.

I causes confusion for both coins. If they can't do the basic check to see if the name is in use, that may make some people cautious of how much care they use in other areas.

Or probably because they called the coin Bytecoin before BTE appeared.

lol. BTE came out April 1, 2013.

No lol. BCN was launched July 4, 2012

According to a web site that didn't appear until more than a year later, and no other source.

Timestamp at first block proves it.

Anyone know if there is a tread switch for the simpleminer? Seems to run at 1 core regardless.

I've tried simpleminer --help for command but it produces nothing.
# of threads at the end of the argument does nothing.
--t # does nothing
--treads # does nothing
--T # does nothing

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

you just run multiple instances. so if you want three threads, open three instances/copies of simpleminer.
