+1 hard fork as well!

I really see a couple of viable options here:

The timing of the fork is critical however.  We should want to wait long enough to see if in fact CZ has updates to the existing codebase, which hopefully includes some staking, since this is what he has been talking about for years in other threads, then we can implement the improvements, do a hard fork, improve the codebase yet again (and switch the algo) and we are off to the races with a better foundation that we could have ever asked or hoped for.  Meanwhile the orignial BBR chain will survive, and CZ will have that blank canvas available for him at his convenience without holding up the current efforts of B4h4mu7 and his team.

As holders of BBR, we have a community that has been patient, has a distributed ownership, lots of committed miners and loyal following that goes back to the earliest days in CN.  I see this as an opportunity to make a transition that reminds me Darkcoin to Dash, that result needs no explanation! 

The legacy of this coin and the unique features that already exist along with the changes that have been described by B4h4mu7 and his team, collectively have the potential to catapult BBR/XDB back into the top 20 coins where it belongs, and possibly higher.

As I mentioned, timing is everything.  My opinion is we give CZ time to come to the table with improvements that will be helpful for everyone, and then depending on his involvement / availability, we HF and split into 2 if he is on board part time, and if he's committed full time, then there is no purpose in maintaining the BBR chain, as BBR with CZ on board will transform into XDB, same as DARK did to DASH! 

Either outcome presents an asymmetric risk at the current price, and this truly is one of the last opportunities to see returns in the future like we have seen over the past year.
