I'm as much a prisoner of the Anglosphere as you are, smooth. IDK where the rest of the planet's "corresponding nexuses" are.

Do they have google there? Because the top hit on google for ducknote unambiguously leads here (I checked several geographic start points). The top hit for darknote doesn't unambiguously lead here yet, but it does for some start points, and it is always in the top few

You are reaching. The simplest and most likely explanation is that the claim was implausible, like some other claims I might mention, but you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Cryptonote itself did not originate here on the BTC mothership

I can't believe you really believe that nonsense. It was "Out There" and someone here just "stumbled across it" trying to mine a two year old dead altcoin. Sure.

Of course GOOG is available (unless blocked by Great Firewall type things) Out There, but who knows how much the DOGE kids use it, especially for non-English/Asian language content and siloed deep/dark/social webs.

There is an entire post-Google generation coming of age. They probably (and rightly) see Google as something their Dads used before getting married, and thus unbearably lame or ghey or whatever negative adjective is popular.

The CN/BCN crowd obviously likes challenging puzzles and riddles, being typical crypto-nerds. You don't have to worthy of the Cicada steering committee to see the connection.

I don't buy into the the "two-year-old" Bytecoin blockchain story and never said I do (well except maybe that one time, after statdude's analysis said/showed it Seems Legit^TM). There are however good reasons besides scamming to create a mysterious origin. Just ask Satoshi. Oh wait, you can't... Wink

Good points about mysterious origins and image and marketing.

Bad points about CN being from Out There but perhaps you will come to recognize that in time. I'm pretty sure the real origins are actually Right Here.

Meanwhile, we await whatever cool stuff XDN has for us next...
