BBR, aside from the optional 1% tax does not really have any baggage like that. Monero was very aggressively pumped at the start. They did not get their marketcap from anything good, they used a lot of offensive marketing to push their way up. If this were the early 20th century automobile industry that wouldn't matter but in the internet age Monero will probably get a lot of negative press when crypto goes more mainstream.

no-ice-please, I appreciate you bringing an outside perspective to the huntercoin thread, but I totally disagree with you here. What kind of offensive marketing are you referring to? I agree that it was pumped at the beginning, and iCEBREAKER is a douchebag, and maybe a few others, but I don't think there's any real concerted effort to market the coin at all, let alone offensively market it. And what do you mean the didn't get marketcap from anything good? Monero has the best database solution of all cryptonotes, BBR has none, and Monero has developed RingCT which will allow for non-zero mixin ring signatures, something that no other cryptonote has. No offense, but I don't think you know what the fuck you're talking about here.

Don't forget about Monero's much larger community and infrastructure, the Kovri protocol for stealth nodes, XMRs community crowdfunding, open alias, larger dev teams, integration into 3rd party apps and dapps, first to market, XMRs integration into online marketplaces, the XMR polo exchange, and use as currency to buy goods and services including darknet and gambling.

Damn it seems xmr has moved on quite a bit since BBR stopped developing. I was hoping the 160x price was just a pump or better still BBR was just grossly undervalued in comparison. Are any of these clear advantages that xmr has open source and can be ported over to BBR?

If cz does not return to BBR do we have anyone here with the skills to take BBR anywhere near where XMR is now? From my limited understanding of all of this fluffy and shen and of course smooth are some of the best coders on this forum so unless BBR can import these features if they are open source then really we have no chance of being comparable to XMR as we were initially.
