How are they contradicting each other? People have made a lot of wild speculations, but CZ didn't imply any wrong doing at all. Just sounded like he just wants to continue doing exactly what he's doing now and not pursue other avenues. Which is perfectly fine of course.
zoidberg said he didn't think the suggestions boded well for BBR's future, which is probably why people think it's shady rather than simply alternative.
No. He did not. He said he got an offer from some outside investors. He didn't think their offer boded well for BBR. He was working on an alternate plan - the one that I pre-announced - but decided not to go forward at this time. Its not completely off the table - or some variant thereof.
People just like drama - so they make up words like "shady" to stir things up.
wow, i thought you were the outside investor. thats the reason of the misunderstanding. do you know what they wanted?
if its true, it makes sense that you havent sold your BBR. They are the ones that must have sold it. Maybe it was bytecoin looking for a way-out of their mess?
I do not know exactly what they wanted. I believe they were looking to change BBR in some dramatic way. Outside investors typically want a lot in return for their investment. I do not think CZ took them too seriously, although I can't and won't speak on CZ's behalf on that.
The other option discussed did not require a hard fork and it would have paid miners more in tx fees. I haven't gone into detail about it because I hope it might be reconsidered at some point. And announcing the details of it wouldn't matter now anyway. In fact, some other coin could very well steal the idea.
