Wownero the only cryptonote that will remain standing long term.

Goddamit, they just keep pooping up Smiley

I know that the consistency in development in crypto pays sooner or later, a lot, and a dev team around BBR is STRONG. Competitors feel the need to step in and "help" in clarification.

It's also interesting how all the Monero (and Zcash) variants were supposed to be ASIC proof. After ASICs for them materialized, the mining algos were changed in a whack-a-mole fashion, without any serious regard for ASIC resistance (e.g. similar memory requirements). Meanwhile, BBR's Wild Keccak remains out of reach for current ASIC tech. No algo is technically ASIC proof, but there are different levels of resistance, and BBR's is looking very high in comparison.

(I keep hearing about MTP that's supposed to in a league of its own, but so far, nothing has been delivered. BBR delivered its algo many years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if some other coin adopted Wild Keccak, but the NIH syndrome is strong in cryptocurrencies.)

That is actually one aspect that Wownero is looking to diverge from Monero on, by implementing a proof of work based on randomly generated JavaScript programs. The idea was put forth by hyc the lmdb person, and has now been implemented by user tevador on GitHub. This would be more geared towards CPUs though, where as bbr is geared towards GPUs. Sorry for intruding on the thread, was mostly just coming to joke about the name...ah the good old days when bbr name was endlessly and repeatedly debated on shitcointalk.
