There literally was a shitcoin clone of BTC called bytecoin. The idea was it was a “fair launch”. Scam.

Then there was the precursor to XMR, bytecoin. This bytecoin was a scam with a deliberately restricted miner. Also, when the low order generator bug was responsibly disclose , it was exploited by a disclosee. Iirc the exchanges took the L. It’s mostly all delisted now.

there is no second or even 8x best.
