Lol I was one of those guys who had a couple hundred thousand ripple coins and sold them right before it started mooning. Ohh well you can never predict the market.

Anywho let's get back to XTL and leave ripple behind xD.

The vast majority of CryptoNote coins are forks of Bytecoin using the Forknote tool. These coins are naturally much less developed than the monero code. Coins like INTS, TRTL,XAO,KRB and even ETN initially (they moved to monero b4 launch) are all forknote coins. That in itself is over 80% of all CryptoNote coins out there.

You then have a few coins that are forks of the monero chain which don't do anything different except change the emission factor & supply of the coin.

This coin is implementing new code consistently, has an active community/dev team and is ACTUALLY working on their roadmap (which can't be said for most coins tbh).
