Idiocy? None taken. Monero is approaching 3 years old.. All what you have stated about XMR is recent developments spurred by an artificially sustainable pump in marketcap cause by a few obscure darknet markets adding the currency. None of XMR "accomplishments" are remotely related to the pump. If they were, the price would of 2x from the pump ceiling average. Instead we see a complete downtrend reversal to pre-pump position. Signalling a lack of investor faith and a failure by the development team to meet basic usability needs such as a GUI wallet, something CZ managed to do in a few weeks. The only solution being a web wallet ran by a troll who fancies himself a developer which is no surprise to anyone why mymonero has resulted in XMR theft..

If you want to see a real example of progress in a project there is no better example than SDC's developer. From July of 2014 to November of 2014 he started with a Bitcoin codebase and managed to implement one of/if not the first implementations of leveldb in the first few weeks of the project launch. Following that, he implemented the first open source dual key stealth address scheme and furthermore implemented the first ring signature scheme into the bitcoin codebase. He went on even further to make improvements to the ring signatures on the advice of Andy Toshi and Adam Back http://www.texpaste.com/n/xaypn9ni resulting in a 42%+ improvement over the previous ring signatures efficiency and an average of 50% to CN's ring signatures. He accomplished all this and more by starting from scratch unlike Monero.

You should also note that the KeyImage issue is something that was identified by XMR's devs relating to their own project findings and is why they could identify it in SDC's codebase. Rather than approach the devs in a professional manner to claim a bounty, they ran a clear smear campaign against SDC across multiple news publications in typical XMR team fashion. A failed attempt at eliminating a clear competitor and to discredit SDC's work. Shadow is still stronger than ever and XMR is on a serious downtrend.

All that said, XMR started with all this baked in from the bytecoin codebase. So please, don't attempt to lecture me about the relatively trivial improvements the XMR team has attempted to make in a short period of time to sustain its artificially inflated marketshare. The XMR devs have had 3 years to make these improvements. Instead, they've spent their time smearing other projects in a similar fashion to you trying to discount the work done here by CZ to BBR. In comparison to SDC's developer and CZ with BBR it looks like they've been circle jerking each other around a campfire, which in this case would be bitcointalk.
