People who claim Monero takes days to sync must be using a 2006 laptop with dial up internet. On a modern computer with an SSD, quad core processor, and decent internet (25 mbps+), a full sync should take 6 hours at the very most. A PC with a high end processor (AMD Epyc or Intel with 12 or more cores) and fiber connection will have it done in a couple of hours. Sorry, but Monero is cutting edge software, and you need modern hardware if you want to have a good experience.

I would add to this. You need to sync it only once. Latter even on year 2000 computer you can sync 720 blocks everyday in only few minutes. In general syncing of Monero block chain goes smother for me then for Ethereum and Bitcoin.

Did anyone look into sumokoin?

Did you looked at their emission? 9 millions premine and only 2 millions mined by now out of whole 90 millions coins.
Do you think when their emission will be at the highest point, will their coins be cheaper or more expensive then right now?
Do you think if they forked (copy/pasted) Monero, could not they copy/pasted no premine model either? It is easier to copy/paste then actually deveolp.
