The GPU is a small problem for BoolBerry. Scratchpad increase will reduce the gap. Hardfork is possible.
mining with MIC-like architecture on Monero is also more profitable than CPU Grin

but not the case with BoolBerry

That makes it an even bigger problem, because its an insanely large advantage for a few very early adopters that won't be possible later (i.e. instamine).

I'm not really too sure it could be construed as 'insanely large' advantage without it sounding like an exagerration.
especially considering such an early stage of distribution. That would be reserved for Bytecoin.

Of course, GPU miner was not ready on day 1. Brand new algo would take some R&D time. So far, we have an account of a single entity at a ~2x advantage (not exact figure: could be less, could be more). So essentially he has 2 CPU solo for every 1 CPU of joe public solo . And now the pools are gaining interest levelling the playing field.

It's known there are botnet mining XMR. I'd presume the same is true for BBR, if not now in future.
these cases are more than a ~2x advantage.

It's not known how many BBR, (if any) said user has sold on market to recoup costs and make instant profit.

an 'instamine' that's dumped before it actually realised any significant value is not really something I'd be concerned with. Coins were more 'instamined' heavily with Amazon instances. I put the term in quoutes because have seen real instamines and cannot compare whatsoever.

I'm not arguing about which coin is better. I hold both and see both as great investments. Aware that most reading this thread hold XMR primarily, so stand to profit if it becomes the one and only. I just think the market cap of BBR relative to XMR is surprising.

Based on current supply & last prices at poloniex:
BBR market cap BTC678
XMR (via coinmarketcap) BTC7,759

Is there a tangible reason for such a disparity?

It seems at the peak price today, BBR will need BTC20-30 to buy all mined coins daily, whereas XMR will require around BTC110-125
