Maybe, there are some indirect proves that
1.Betacoin was used by a NOT little group of users
2.Betacoin had its value since blockchain start for that people

1- Look at that chart, if that was not a botnet the whole time, difficulty means that all the time it was mined by 3000-4000 of good PC/Servers with at least i5-i7 to latest xens. because wiki.bytecoin got lots of cpu comparison. Personally, i think that it was real pc/servers, and miners. just because value of that technology (cryptonote) farther more botnet sandboxes.
2- so if that devs/users group used 4000 high class pc/servers for mining with absolutely minimum price of dedicated leasing in 70$ per unit. in that case the average per month cost of mining bytecoin hardware was around 280K $. > 2mln $ per year, man it`s crazy to call that coin premined in case of that kind of machines mined it and that kind of investment.

Diff chart can say us lot about network history.

Besides your chart, which Smooth's reply already indicates that your stats are completely inaccurate...

Can you find any other indirect evidence of Bytecoin having a large userbase or any value or use at all besides hope for the future?

I can do indirect evidence too.

If it's not indexed by search engines, the user base is too small or it wasn't called "Bytecoin".

You might say, "But, TOR isn't the only deepweb!" but that would be grasping straws, TOR is the most commonly used deepweb, and other options such as I2P (slow as hell), from what I have heard barely have enough people to sustain a dead DRUG marketplace, the most popular type of black market.

I made a semi-secret group one time. At about 30 users, an idiot posted it all over public websites pretending to be a troll. If you manage a secret group without idiots, is that any better? Hardly, what you get is a closely knit group with majority control.

You know what would solve everything? A bytecoin dev addressing the misunderstanding, perhaps showing one valid use Bytecoin ever had, like as a donation button on a 2013 website. This would be doable if it was indeed called "Bytecoin" during its period of ninja-mine. However, you won't even see them claim it was popular, because if they did, people would take it as a challenge and prove the contrary.

Man, could you please mine mro not posting your opinion? Its very anoying. You don't look like a clever guy, but like a parrot, repeating same things hundreds times

matej krkic's first post: Bytecoin related
"matej krkic"'s online footprint according to Google: None, just Bytecoin and Facebook (because it's a real name). A rare occurrence.
For all you potential shills out there, use popular nicknames like mine!
oh, and Matej, don't worry, I'm not implying anything about you, just throwing some advice out there for my shill friends.
