For those actually interested in the thread topic, just some speculation but there is this mysterious Boolberry account created 2 weeks ago that has now become quite prominent in the BBR community and weirdly is already a fan of 2 of his competitors, XMR and AEON...

Congratulations!

...You can thank me for sharing this good news by following my Twitter account. I am not the enemy. I like XMR and AEON in addition to BBR. ...

the account is also raising donations like how Smooth raised 2.5% of AEON, and actually referencing that to try to push BBR donations:

There was no massive premine or fastmine of BBR

I agree. To be more precise there was no premine or fastmine at all.

The per-block developer payment is a bit like a premine though, especially how it is structured (negative votes just defer payment, they don't actually reduce the total amount given to the developer, which is fixed at 1% of the total).

Still that is not at all massive by the standards of other coins with a developer coin grab.

You are correct. No fastmine or premine. Developer payment was disclosed since the beginning. If Boolberry was just a simple clone, nobody would want to mine it and reward the developer. Luckily many people do recognize the innovation at boolberry and find the developer payment very reasonable

I should note that community development donations for many coins including AEON which you are working on far exceed 1%.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=641696.msg11986798#msg11986798

AEON info from your quote:
"Donation fund:

balance: 414176.048419687951, unlocked balance: 414165.931766313195
Previously spent: 19000 (bounties)"

414,176/18,4000,000 = 2.25 %

Your current donations as a percentage of all coins that will ever be mined (excluding your current tail emission proposal) far exceeds that of Boolberry

Most developers will not work for free so funding is important. As long as everything is transparent (as it is with both Boolberry and Aeon) I see no problems

The new Boolberry account also likes to go to the larger competitor threads and explain how they are scams too:

It will be hard for BCN to pass the Bittrex review to gain a listing. After all the scams over the past few years there are more cautious now, particularly in cases with allegations of faked blockchains and huge premines. Luckily there are already several high quality CryptoNote coins already traded on Bittrex without all the drama

This new account seems to already have respect for the Monero dev team.

...Please respect the Monero development team. They have done many interesting things already...

And is already a regular on the Monero Speculation thread:

I saw that too. It also looked real at first glance until you noticed 0 confirmations and other details..

Quite strange, i wonder who this new boolberry account is and why he came out just now? XMR, AEON, and now BBR, who technically are competitors, seem to becoming friends all around the same time, I wonder if there some connection?

Smooth happened to state explicitly on the BBR thread that he won't have involvement, so I guess that proves it can't be him. We have to keep speculating...

Smooth seems like the logical choice because he is familiar with the CryptoNote codebase and has a proven willingness to look at other CryptoNote coins besides Monero.

The big question mark are his time availability and how much we can offer in terms of compensation

I have my hands full right now so I don't think I could do a good job on another coin at this point...

Great job with your research. You have proved nothing. I am not smooth.

Depending on your definition of competitor am I supposed to FUD BTC and LTC? How about CNY USD EUR and JPY? Just because I want BBR to succeed does not mean I am not allowed to compliment positive aspects of other currencies

There is nothing wrong with my support of other honest projects besides boolberry.
