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.He told me about ring signatures and mentioned something about CryptoNote.

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.

+1 it's clear that number of members is big enough. To be honest, these shady stories around BCN make me more interested in it.
