-((("Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC)","Bytecoin and")))((("Bytecoin (BCN)")))((("Graphical Processing Units (GPUs)","Bytecoin and")))Bytecoin was the first implementation spawned from CryptoNote, offering a viable anonymous currency based on the CryptoNote technology. Bytecoin was launched in July of 2012. Note that there was a previous alt-coin named Bytecoin with currency symbol BTE, whereas the CryptoNote-derived Bytecoin has currency symbol BCN.  Bytecoin uses the Cryptonight Proof-Of-Work algorithm, which requires access to at least 2 MB of RAM per instance, making it unsuitable for GPU or ASIC mining. Bytecoin inherits ring-signatures, unlinkable transactions, and blockchain-analysis resistant anonymity from CryptoNote.
