What dga is saying is spot on as usual, what zoidberg says about boolberry being the technically stronger coin is absolutely correct and how anyone can try and pretend otherwise is beyond me. Maybe not superior in flowery talk and penning eccentricities like boolberry bulletins, not superior with creating as many threads- the majority of this thread is monero promo and back and forth discussion specifically around monero which seems to have become a synonym for cryptonote.. maybe not superior in convincing the unwashed masses it's is indeed the only thing worth investing in aside from bitcoin, . whilst everything else is a cheap clone or shitcoin, or in terms of bitcointalk allstar celeb endorsement and greasing up the palms of exchanges though

But this is your opinion. It's not spot on that BBR is the technically stronger coin, this is not "absolutely correct".

The pow change is questionable and the pruning is linear pruning, it's a fixed space saving per block, nothing that will reduce the chain like true transaction pruning does.

You have bought into Zoid's marketing hype.

Like I have said many times, this is the Litecoin fiasco all over again. I remember when I was told by many experts that Litecoin was faster [1], more secure, safer, technically superior to Bitcoin because it's Bitcoin plus awesome sauce on top.

I never bought into the Litecoin hype back then and I'm not falling for it today. All of the BBR arguments sound like the same fluff Litecoin supporters shouted back then.

[1] And that apparently was enough reason to hail a Litecoin take over where many people started panic buying Litecoins because Bitcoin now was on its way out. What a joke.

The 'questionable PoW 'argument could be made for vanilla cryptonight moreso. Whereas some of the decisions for choosing alternative PoW in BBR have been clearly outlined, both a little earlier in this thread and the boolberry one.

You've stated many times that you never brought into the litecoin hype back then and not falling for it today. boolberry is not the one with hype. Monero is. You are asking why buy into BBR when we have XMR? implying XMR is BTC and BBR is LTC (ie - it's nothing more than a copy paste with bells n whistles).

I've actually heard you say that if boolberry overtakes monero all confidence in the market will be eroded and the experiment is failed or something along those lines... as if bbr is an xmr clone with marketing gimmicks, insanity..That is a dangerous line of thinking

BTC is BTC and then you have your alt.. if you subscribe to the school of thought popular in this thread there is only room for a silver and gold. Picking XMR in favor of BBR like picking steel when you have a palladium bar because you say it's just 'steel with a bit more shine to it' . Actually i would call bytecoin tenebrix, monero fairbrix and boolberry litecoin

I was mining ltc since launch and also buying once it hit exchanges., no sane person particularly cared that it was faster, nor did I beleive anyone worthwile proclaimed it's technically superior. It was more of an experiment of putting your recently dormant CPU to use, it was also interesting as a hedge to escape the forthcoming asic centralisation. My views on LTC are that it was a massive long con perpetuated by artforz et al but that's not relevant and ltcs useleness took a long time to become apparent. if you did buy into it you would of been rewarded handsomely

Where did he claim claymore was a bytecoin dev?. I think he is referring to the intentional slow_hash crippling
which was left over during the copy paste process and somehow sneaked past the eyes of the collective 'large dev team', during their expansive audit and review of the codebase.. something which is hardly a stretch to say could have been exploited by those that wrote it in the first place (or indeed an independent third party who knew how to read or write code to a basic level)

Well, DGA did substantial work on the pow speedup (and NoodleDoodle, Wolf and others).

Nice own goal from you tho, because he also optimized the boolberry hashing code: https://github.com/cryptozoidberg/boolberry/commit/9e31e74048a4b2a92e048637a29bc0f9160c2432

yeah, theres a difference between an optimization and an un-unoptimization
