I just found your claim that monero didn't develop anything new ridiculous...

I didn't want to FUD, it was what was said on several channels but I - my mistake - did not check it.
Maybe it was meant that monero did not develop some of the privacy stuff monero is associated with?

Anyways no harm intended, just trying to separate scams from real projects, and those into those with good marketing and those with real development potential.

no problem, and indeed, xmr was forked from bytecoin and based on entirely different protocol than bitcoin (cryptonote)... The fact that it's not a bitcoin-fork (like the absolute majority of all crypto's) means everything has to be built from scratch, also the codebase xmr inherited from bytecoin was really messy etc, that's why development seems slow... but lots of developments already happened since launch in april 2014... just not the really visible kind (like a bling bling GUI, which actually is almost ready now)...

xmr had a fair launch, no ico, no mining rewards going to devs etc...
xmr doesn't have a marketing team
don't buy xmr Wink

edit, if you do want to learn more about xmr to see if it's a scam or not, if it has development potential or not:

http://monero.stackexchange.com/ (btw: xmr is only the third crypto to have its own stackexchange (btc en eth were first), this shows it has a strong and active community), by all means ask questions there if you want...
