Since the launch, several improvements have been made, including multi-valued transactions and several security updates. In 2013, the original implementation of [[CryptoNote]] [[Java (programming language)|Java]] was rewritten using [[C++]]. As of 2015, Bytecoin has been forked more than 25 times. Bytecoin [[blockchain]] contains additional information not directly related to remittances: several blocks include the geographical coordinates of universities, educational institutions among other buildings.


On March 31, 2015, Bytecoin developers announced their [[road map]] for several future releases.

== Features ==
Bytecoin is an open source software. Crypto currency uses the principle of Proof-of-work ("Proof of work performance").

The algorithm for mining in Bytecoin differs in that it actively uses the [[AES instruction set|AES command system for x86 microprocessors]] and a large amount of memory, which makes mining on the [[GPU]] less efficient than for Bitcoin.
