Hence you would expect to see a lot more development happening with these newer coins compared to a three year old coin that has probably already accomplished most of its original design goals.
But Monero is almost 3 years old itself. I personally mined Monero in 2012.
People have called me a liar for saying that, but they couldn't come up with any objections that don't apply equally to Bytecoin.
Umm... The evidence would be in the code and the blockchain, no?
