I'm new in BBR and I have been reading this thread. I don't understand why CZ and 1block just collaborate on a single repo with other devs. I mean I do understand it but what's the point guys? Ego?

1block since you attempted to patronize the project but didn't work because CZ woke up I think you need to accept it and put a dev team if you want and yourself to commit stuff to the original repo.

CZ since you see other people want to participate and this is an open source project (obviously) then please accept contributions.

Other decisions like masternodes etc could be discussed openly in this thread.

I am a team leader software dev and I say GO Wink

Finally, a software developer replies!

So I can submit a pull request at any time. There are a few followers that seem not to understand that, they have created a "battle of the repositories" that doesn't exist. These are people that would never build from source to begin with, and so far I've never released any binaries. 38 people have forked Boolberry code, any one of them can ALSO submit pull requests whenever and wherever they want.

Look around, the exact same people have said that I haven't coded anything substantial - which means there would be nothing substantial enough to go into a Pull Request review yet - and also created the idea that since I haven't made a pull request that I won't ever! This set of contradictory standards are perpetuated because these are not software developers Cheesy

The next problem with the idea that we are limited by ego related to "whose repository is official" further fails because Boolberry is merely a protocol broadcasting to the internet. Clients can be written in multiple languages. If and when someone makes a Java or Python client, there will be no "original official repository" to contribute to, as it will be a completely new codebase, that was an example to all the impressionable non-software developers reading this. The C++ project is the easiest because the other cryptonote reference clients are written in it.

If CZ updates his repository before our updates are finished, we will merge his changes into ours and keep working! If we finish our updates on the C++ project we will submit a pull request to his repository, and also keep working! If he chooses to submit a pull request to our repository we will review it and merge it! I just described how open source projects work Shocked

as a team lead imagine explaining this to random concerned people in your organization, hilarious right?

A tangible example would be how the RPC server updates that are being worked on in my repository will allow for web wallets to be created. My organization could host a web wallet with this updated client and people will be able to use Boolberry while the native wallet gets fixed. Both CZ and I have talked about doing the database fix for boolberry. We could host that WHILE Zoidberg reviews our pull requests whether he merged them or not! It should be obvious at this point how there is no conflict hampering the future viability of Boolberry. All of our work in parallel is a net positive for Boolberry.

The critics - and there are only a couple - are people that have no ability to contribute to the code, no resources to mine, and I doubt their positions in Boolberry are enough to influence the market when their confidence wavers. The people that have any of those three things are pretty content with the direction of things. They aren't complaining, they are buying, coding, or mining. Look at the hash rate.

Oh shoot, I just mentioned the market again. There is no activist investor in the history of capital that doesn't mention the price target. Huh

Is it possible I'm being criticized by people that don't have any capital or experience in any other capital market that are making up objections on the fly? Rhetorical question. (The irony is that investors love the meme paper that explains what my organization is doing, the paper was written because many people asked what the roadmap was and it was a 20 page answer.)

There is a lot more to this project than the C++ project that CryptoZoidberg started. I like his code, everyone contributing likes his code and what he brought to the cryptocurrency space! His contributions were great, thats why we are here!
