Nice work. BTW, 'Jenny' did a youtube and had a Russian accent. I don't have a link to it, nor do I know if it is still up.
I actually found that interview just after publishing. Listened to it and while I agree some parts could be from a Russian speaker, the general feeling I have about Jenny's accent is confusion. Anyway, I also noticed the Bytecoin_BCN twitter handle recently retweeted Jenny Goldberg's new Twitter account (jnfgoldberg). She is apparently the CCO of Assetrush ( https://assetrush.com/about), some company promoting ICO's. Only four of all team members are on Twitter - all of them joined between 9-12th of April this year and are mostly spouting nonsense, except Jenny who tweet about Bytecoin. I googled all these people and have yet to find a real person behind those faces. Wherever they are (Twitter, LinkedIn, Assetrush) they use the same profile pictures. Their grammar is weird as well yet their names imply Americans/Brits. https://twitter.com/jennbruney/status/985871032786542592https://twitter.com/DavidPetrachini/status/984791336472793088https://twitter.com/martina_sarto/status/984032882640478209I am convinced they are all fake but would like to find evidence, like a match on Google image search or something. You can see however that they obfuscated the profile pictures somewhat.

Okay, I'm not a credentialed expert on accents, but it sure sounded Russian (or perhaps some nearby variant) to me. I also recalled it sounding like it may have been run through a mild voice changer. It was certainly not American or British sounding, nor any native English speaker.

Some more digging about the recent Bytecoin expansion in the realm of scaminess. Here are LinkedIn profiles involved with Jenny's AssetRush company. https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-petrachini/https://www.linkedin.com/in/martina-sarto/https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenn-bruney/https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennygoldberg/https://www.linkedin.com/in/booker-david/Jenny has the oldest LinkedIn account it seems. Her feed activity starts 8 months ago. This is in line with the birth of the BCN_official reddit user ( https://www.reddit.com/user/BCN_official) as well as the re-activation of the then dormant bytecoin_bcn Twitter account ( https://twitter.com/bytecoin_bcn). CEO David Booker's first activity is 4 weeks ago so we can assume he joined the network then. Yet he has over a 1045 followers - something my successful MSc-in-Finance friends have not pulled off in 5-6 years. David Petrachini's feed activity starts 3 weeks ago. Yet he has over a 1359 followers. If I'm not mistaken he just today added the "Italian soul!" bit on his Twitter bio. David, if you pretend to be Itailan now, you might also want to stop following Russian-speaking media ( https://twitter.com/OpenEconomyNews). The same goes for Jenny who follows https://twitter.com/ExmoTradingMartina Sarto's feed starts 2 weeks ago. 658 followers. Jenn Bruney seemed to have joined LinkedIn just a week ago and already has 726 followers. I am not a LinkedIn expert (don't have a real account there except to verify the above stuff) but does the above not strike you as highly unusual? Anyone who uses that stuff regularly, please let me know if you think my conclusions about the profiles are wrong. And lastly, "why bother" with the scamception? Because "Jenny" is supposed to be a public figure for the USD 700M Bytecoin project. Exposing AssetRush as a facade has information value in the sense that it casts more doubt on the Bytecoin project which has lent credibility to her on their web page and in the official twitter handle.

They use different photos, but the same distinct photo style. And the pics are the same on different medias, like LinkedIn, Twitter, AssetRush web page. I ran them all through tineye and it yielded nothing. My guess is they obfuscated the pics with purpose. You see the black, white and orange style here: https://assetrush.com/aboutAll in all, I don't know what Jenny's plan is with regards to Bytecoin and AssetRush, but I will certainly keep my eyes open for anything they announce. Just one more thing: AssetRush team member Mary Giterman, who seems fake as well, may be the person owning these accounts: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1009398https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1038651Mary seems to have been a part of Soarcoin earlier, whose founders probably profited greatly as they issued all coins to themselves, then sold on exchanges while doing the regular marketing push. Looking at Mary's earlier posts, she is prior to this looking to buy multiple high-level Poloniex accounts with high withdrawal limits. I have not managed to connect Mary Giterman of AssetRush with Mary Giterman of Soarcoin, but it seems unlikely there should be two such persons with the same name, both involved as early adopters in crypto.

Im about to start a CryptoNote clone, Breakoutcoin, just for the ring-signature feature. The only thing that concerns me from this thread is the speculation that there may be backdoors in the core code.
Has there been a real code review either by Monero or others?

Where is this "Speculation"? I speculate that there is FUD afoot. Either way if you don't know the answer to this then you need to do alot more research before launching a coin let alone a cryptonote one. Lol, now he started following a couple of Italian news outlets instead.
Hah, say something to make him follow trump. You know all good Italians love Trump.

There have been several cryptonotes. None achieved a level of community support so well as XMR, and AFICT, always because of issues of transparency, misrepresentation, contract stability. (The latter can be construed to include a credibly sustainable development trajectory.)

It calls to mind the reuse of Dr. X's Aircraft Carriers in Diamond Age. That massive instrument of death and destruction crafted from the taxes extorted from the productive and then abandoned, finally carrying and supporting the vast population of orphaned Chinese girls that proceed to transform society.

By this time, Bytecoin has a little more than 80% off the total emissions being mined. They developed code for the principles stated in their whitepapaer, and in april 2012 they released Bytecoin. All copyright messanges in Bytecoin code are copyright Cryptonote developers.

that's really disrespectful to the developers that made those clones. You didn't even acknowledge all the effort and hard work they put into it.
