I was at Bitcoin London Conf in 2012 and went to have a beer with friends to the nearest pub last evening. I met a guy there (don't remember his name. something like Jeff or John, maybe).
He told me about ring signatures and mentioned something about CryptoNote. I felt interested and tried to ask him for more details. He was with a company too(10 or 12 people meetup) so our conversation was rather short. We chatted a bit and he gave me a card with .onion website address. He said it would be a currency of the future and I had to mine it.
It was mentioned before, sounds legit. Jeff Garzik anyone? Looks like we have the BCN core team on that link above..
You cought them probably based on news from 09/10/2012 on the old website.
It is exciting game to look for the hidden, secrets in the past, but I am not sure if this is helpful. Would not be better to let the developers work in anonymity instead of seeking where they are and who are they?
