Except blur is broken software that offers nothing over monero, which it forked from. Trouble syncing, trouble staying connected to the network. multiple chain rollbacks. Not to mention it was taken offline on txbit because coins were locked and they didn't know why. I did have a pool, but it became too much work to maintain because the node wouldn't keep connections and even the rpc wallet failed to stay connected to the node. Massively broken piece of software, with an undisclosed amount of coins locked and presumably burned. a coin whose original vision of multiple chains for different devices being totally destroyed by gpu miners running rampant on what was meant to be a "cpu only" chain.
Then on top of all that we have a dev saying this coin isn't meant to have any value, burning bridges with his new komodo friends and throwing away his new found dpow vision (which was 5 months behind his own deadline anyway). Blur is just another dead monero shitfork at this point. why would anyone revive this over the thousand other dead monero shitforks that exist?
I'm not sure what you're talking about, with trouble syncing or trouble staying connected to the network. We also haven't had a hardfork since over 400,000 blocks ago, much less a rollback. (Check the current chain height: 760,000+ ... last fork was block 342,000). Further, if you're uncomfortable with bleeding-edge technology, and occasional lack of stability... You should probably focus on some other project. Innovation isn't the most stable goal in software development. I've said many times that BLUR is
experimental by design. If you're not comfortable with us pushing the envelope... definitely best to find another point of interest in crypto.
offers nothing over monero
Simply untrue. Our daemons have had OpenAlias, ZeroMQ, MiniUPnP, and all DNS-related functionality completely removed from our codebase. You'll have a much more secure experience running a Blur node as a result (Monero
just had a vulnerability related to ZeroMQ) than you will running a Monero node. Couple that with the recursive DNS server those nodes run, and well... you could wind up as an unsuspecting DNS cannon in DDoSes, or worse.
coins locked and burned
No idea what you're referring to here. If you can cite an actual issue, I can properly address it. But I'm not sure if you're just pulling nonsense out of a hat, or what.
gpu miners running rampant
I've said many times that we won't play the game of pointless "hardware resistance". Such a thing simply does not exist. A separate GPU chain will be launched relatively soon, with a custom algorithm and standard emission curve. This launch (in-tandem), should serve to incentivize GPU miners to take their devices over to that chain, as the block rewards from early-adoption-biased emission will exceed those on the main chain, for a period of time.
