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.

Right, so word of mouth spreads and more people start mining Bytecoin.

Can you explain how your miner had no effect on the difficulty? For some reason all these people kept finding about about Bytecoin over the past two years except the difficulty is mostly stagnate from block 5,000 to 400,000.

Oh wait I know why! It's because as you started mining the benevolent Bytecoin developers stopped mining isn't it? They didn't want too much for themselves.

What a load of rubbish.

Either you're full of fraud, or you were the only outsider that ever found out about Bytecoin.

I am sure that if there was a real underground movement where they met with randoms and tell them they have to mine it because it's the currency of the future, I am sure that the difficulty increases would have looked very different.

I am so sorry wildboy, but your story doesn't match reality. (Unless you really were the only outsider ever to be told about this currency.)

But please, all of you go invest and mine into the most absurd premine in cryptocurrency history, those developers need your coin now more than ever!

There you go some that's some Monero FUD of the day, although before dismissing me read what I wrote and dispute it. :p

Keep calm. that's story with wildboy has just began. I don't think its good to blame and even to negate his words.
IMO that he and over first miners haven't mined a lot so it didn't affect bcn diff. Still i'd like to see proofs.
