Bitmonero is a shitty clonecoin made by a brazilian/paki/indian who claimed to be Ukrainian, just a source copy of Bytecoin with no real dev team or plans to actually make the software more usable.
Bitmonero probably won't have a GUI wallet until the Bytecoin devs make them one.

I don't know a single Brazilian, Pakistani, Indian, or Ukranian involved, and who cares even if there is?

I also contend your claim that there is "no real dev team" - are you in #monero-dev on Freenode? There is a very solid, concrete dev team that consists of developers from multiple continents including a handful who choose to remain anonymous.

"Plans to make the software more usable" is also nonsense - thus far we have not only found massive issues in the RPC API and either patched them or provided more correct documentation to those using Monero, but we have made our short-term and long-term plans clear. More specifically, you realise and understand that Bytecoin is so fundamentally flawed that their JSON RPC API documentation (such as it is) claims that the URL to use ends in a trailing slash, but this results in a 404 from the RPC API daemons? I mean, such a fundamental error for a coin that is apparently in existence for two years...

Finally, thus far we have improved the miner to 12x its original efficiency. To thank us for our hard work the Bytecoin devs merged our changes.

In other words, thus far only the Monero dev team have made any strides in improving and advancing the coin, and the others are merely inheriting the work we're doing.

Please glance at the github repos and merges / commits before making yourself look completely daft.
