But Monero is a fork of Bytecoin built on the Cryptonote technology? Kudos is definatly due. Would Monero be anywhere without it? Or would Bitmonero be anywhere without it?
Nope, Monero is a fork of the CryptoNote reference code. Yes, this was originally done under the "Bytecoin" name, but if you take a look at the files in the very earliest Monero commit by thankful_for_today (eg.
https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/blob/1a8f5ce89a990e54ec757affff01f27d449640bc/src/cryptonote_config.h
) you will see that it says "Copyright (c) 2012-2013 The Cryptonote developers" and not "Copyright the Bytecoin developers". Unsurprisingly, the
official repo of the CryptoNote reference code
isn't particularly diverged from that first commit.
