Highly qualified experts who are willing to stand up with their real names and academic credentials have said that is a load of crap (I added the bold so you don't miss the key point):

FWIW, I concur completely with your assessment of the fake blockchain in Bytecoin - it's the most logical explanation for the very deliberately slowed down proof-of-work function.  (And for those watching, I came to that conclusion independently from looking at the code earlier - that conclusion was not influenced by rethink-your-strategy's claims.)  I haven't independently checked the PDF-related signature and timestamps that you noted, but it wouldn't surprise me at all.  Clever.  If they hadn't been quite so greedy (80%?  really?) it might have worked.

Sorry, but your scam is blown. You have zero credibility here. Just stop.
