Facts:
BBR has a smaller blockchain, syncs faster, and has an official gui.
XMR has a dev team, unofficial guis.
Neither BBR or XMR is used in any significant way
Opinions:
Tacotime's opinion may be biased. The privacy of neither approach to ring signatures has been thoroughly tested.
Cryptonote devs? They have their own agenda.
Some say BBR has better emission curve (you, rpietila) but who knows. Cryptocurrencies are too new.
BBR is better
XMR is better
I would fully support BBR.
~BCX~
Just curious...is this still the case?
If so, BBR is on a massive discount right now.
One can pick up loads of BBR and XMR for reasonable prices, historically speaking, today.
If your intention is to imply that
BCX's opinion counts (as anything except possibly to the contrary), I am flabbergasted.
What the guy said has not come true, so in my books whatever he says from then on, is just air.
Speaking of that, BBR's price may have seen the first air escaping from the pump. Expect more to follow.
I still symphatisize for BBR. When the price goes to sustainable level, the only thing hindering me from buying it is the community (or the lack thereof). If XMR cannot make it despite the dream team, I give very small chances for BBR making it either. And if XMR
does make it, BBR will wither away or become a community coin for privacy-conscious people that for a reason or another hate XMR (a little bit like LTC vs. BTC).
It is true XMR is in a massive discount, built up over weeks if not months, as negative event after another has always snuffed the rally. Good thing is, there is much more pressure in the pot now, and the positive developments that will come in the nearest 2 weeks will be the spark to take us higher pricewise also. Today is already the 3rd day in a row with a higher high.
