And what about gmaxwell ?

You are clearly confused since:

1. He never said anything about mining before the public disclosure (i.e. 2014, not 2012 or 2013). If you can refute this, do so. But you can't.

2. You misread the message you quoted. gmaxwell was disputing the claim by some unknown person (likely purchased account). I'll quote your message below for reference.

3. He posted on rethink-your-strategy's thread and agreed (again I will bold the important parts):

Yep, I'd raised concerns about these claims before myself. Funny, I also checked the references, but I didn't realize the whitepaper was supposed to be that old (I'd missed that the document was backdated).

It's more than just the history that is fishy, though. The proof of work algorithm appears to be a pretty nice bit of insurance against people forking the system, since it was clearly purposefully deoptimized and contrary to the design claims provably reasonably GPU friendly (and, likely, very friendly with larger 28nm FPGAs a suspicion supported by the hashrates of the systems based on this pow, including monero).

Might not want to overstate the amount of cryptographic review the approach has had. I've spent some time on it but haven't personally worked through any proofs of its properties. It takes a long time to gain confidence in a cryptosystem. (Though sure, I do think the ring signature system is very interesting that rest? well). Oh well, honestly, I think that this sort of stuff is more ethical than the altcoin presales (Esp the ones that don't ever deliver anything).

As I said, just stop. You are making yourself look worse and worse by grasping as every attempt to defend that which has already been thoroughly exposed. You have no credibility left. It is over. Try scamming somewhere else. This community is too hard to fool.

And what about gmaxwell ? He is one of BCN mines for a months and made a lot of researches before started mining.
I don't know who is your professor so he has zaeo credibility for me.

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.

Your BCT account looks suspiciously like one of the ones that was sold after the bct hacks last year.

Do you have the onion address you were given? Do you still have the bytecoin wallet?

We all know there is a lot of secrecy around ByteCoin and that it was a project by respected cyberpunks and academics all around the world. The code on github and philosophy around the project says enough.. Why you want proof with a onion address?? Dont you believe more people where involved instead of a small team..

One example is the extra nonce and all the messages included, did someone fake all that data? I dont know but its pretty clear to me that the project was created as a framework for the future. Another example about the quality; the timestamp of the genesis block.

ps. one extra nonce i did not find in the excell sheet, the one as solution from a puzzle.
