I must say that was quick. Glad to have the Monero spokesperson join the thread!

He's not great with numbers if he believes 1% would be enough to fund development, it wouldn't pay the listing fee's never mind the developers.

The problem with people like him is they don't know anything about research, software development or hiring because they've never done anything in their lives but troll forums. Some of the guys I work with are $600/hr +. Given Zoidberg's experience with Cryptonote, familiarity with the codebase and competence as a developer I would be put him in the same category with respect to working on a CN project. At that time, Boolberry was trading for pennies on the dollar. At 1% the burn rate was much too high to keep active on the project and be able to keep his lights on, let alone pay for internet access to make commits. This is probably one of the reasons why he was able to be recruited by the other team to work on the Louis project so that he could earn a steady income.

I'm not standing up for his original decision to leave Boolberry, just saying that people gotta eat and that might be reason why he left the project in the first place.

Of all the people to accuse of being unable to research, it's hilarious you would pick me! I've forgotten the floorplans of more libraries than you'll ever visit, you silly pleb.

CZ has already accepted my logic in choosing to rebase BBR on the latest Monero release rather than start over from scratch or where he left off. So IDK why you would believe I "don't know anything about research, software development or hiring." My input on the Rune rebranding fiasco also carried the day.

I know CZ is a great dev and have been a Wild Keccak fanboy for years. My posts all over this forum demonstrate that is an unquestionable, well-established fact.

The problem is great devs are hyper-specialists and due to Dunning-Kruger often fail to listen to generalists like me at exactly the crucial times when they most need to defer to those with greater expertise in multidisciplinary areas like economics, linguistics, and marketing.

We all know CZ left BBR for better paying work on Louisd'or. But nobody except me is asking what happened to that rationale for his abandoning BBR, which resulted in the dev tax and community donations being rendered essentially worthless. He broke his social contract and the purported advantages of doing so never materialized, and outcome which externalized the costs of his choices and actions to donors and bagholders.

Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Monero all managed to have great success despite (or more probably because of) having a 0% dev tax. Stop white knighting for CZ; he made this mess and left BBR donors+bagholders twisting in the wind.

Long ago, I offered to help improve the areas where BBR was weakest. I was prepared to voluntarily serve on a silver platter CZ and the BBR community my incomparably complementary skill set. But he was either too proud or too stubborn to accept a role as anything other than dictator for life, so BBR remained a stunted vanity project until he eventually left it relegated to abandonware status.

Let's all note how tacky and evasive it is for CZ to respond to my pertinent inquiry regarding the Louisd'or code with an aggressive ad-hom deflection unfairly and dishonestly referring to me as an "old opponent of BBR from Monero clan."

Here's an olive branch. I have a designed a truly 3rd generation Cryptonote coin based on everything that has happened with BBR/XMR/etc. so far and which thus benefits from all those lessons and all that hindsight.

I'll share the whitepaper with CZ and let him be the lead dev for the project, provided he stops his suspiciously flaky on-again/off-again relationship with BBR (and Louisd'or), which only serves to string along long-suffering BBR bagholders and further cement his reputation as a competent yet inexplicably shifty developer/cryptographer.

Due to all this past drama and sketchiness, BBR will never achieve its goal of being the Litecoin to Monero. The only viable path forward is to start over with an apology and a clean slate. Otherwise, BBR will wind up being the Dash of the Cryptonote family and be related to 3rd or 4th place, behind Aeon, Bytecoin, and DigitalNote.
