As a follow-up to his earlier explanations of
  Improved anonymity:  http://www.slideshare.net/boolberry/boolberry-solves-cryptonoteflaws-37055246
  Blockchain pruning:    http://www.slideshare.net/boolberry/boolberry-reduces-blockchain-bloat

I'm sure there will be pushback on these as there was to the others, but kudos to him and the Boolberry team for putting it out there for others to read, steal from, and criticize.  (Disclaimer:  I looked at an earlier draft of this one and provided some minor writing feedback.  I'm not an author of it and am not part of the BBR team.)

But...but...smooth said

If removing (non-mining) transaction dust and the resulting bloat is "trivial" then why is XMR lagging behind BBR in implementing that feature?

Stop being a troll and an idiot please.

Look at the BBR list of features and I quote (with bold emphasis added):

Removed Dust from block reward to reduce block chain size even more

The change in BBR is removing of mining dust, as I said.
