Lol. MRO's developers do not merge the code at GitHub. You know why? Becuae they just ctrl+c and ctrl+v chunks of code. They just jerking of in trying to imitate some intense activity, but their commits show that all real changes appear after it had been deposited at BCN. And they do not even care to mention that the code is taken from BCN which (sounds ironically) is mere stealing and violation of open-source technology regulations.
That's awkward, who are all those people merging code into the master that aren't BCN devs though? It's wierd that I have an electrum seed with Monero, and not BCN. It's wierd that there's actually an improving api. The funniest part is that developers of the BCN code have not only accepted Monero as a currency, they've embraced it and more.
Perhaps we were slightly over-focused on the technology experiments. What you are doing to spread the word about CryptoNote can actually be even more important and we urge you to proceed. We see your point in blaming BCN's developers for their own vision on cryptocurrencies.
There is an issue in Bitcoin, for instance, which we see as one of its major drawbacks. The core team seems to be too small to keep maintaining the code base efficiently, while the majority of the services and activists is focused on spreading the word about their businesses. This narrow interest is what we fear might happen to CryptoNote. That is why we are eager to persist this technology-driven development. I hope this clarifies our position.
The code developers are quoted in every file in the github, save for epee. You should try harder little fella.
