IMO Bitmonero is the first clean launch, and I still didn't get why Monero is doing well and have chances to exist
there are many reasons why. Please read posts. summary below
1. tft did not communicate well.
2. tft created a coin with some problems. no test before launch.
3. bitmonero and monero are the exact same coin right now and have been
4. tft was ok with name change as the community that was present at that time did not like it
5. initial launch of bitmonero (same as monero) had difficulties. it simply a direct clone of bcn. some changes that were made by tft may have continued problems and are currently being worked on by current devs.
emission curve -not what was promised by tft. block confirmation time of 1 minute instead of two minutes, no gui at launch, no block explorer at launch, no pools at launch.
