Until recently trolls was spreading FUD propaganda about BBR and private GPU miner, but dga gave the chronology of the events. So, it turnd out to be only a FUD.
It was not "FUD propaganda" to want to look at the number of coins mined before reasonable miners became public.
I was frankly surprised at the similarity because I remembered the
amount of time the coins were in this situation being very different,
however what I forgot is that BBR has two minute blocks and XMR has one minute blocks, so the
number of blocks ended up being about the same (and the coins per block are likewise about the same).
I think it is a fair statement to say that both coins had a bit of growing pains that in an ideal world would have been avoided, but the net effect ended up being comparable.
Didn't meant you, that is why edited the post. Darkota and few other fanboys were irritatingly loud about this
