Fungibility (or lack of it, not sure about how to use the term tbh) what can be done? I don't like the idea of using some Bitcoins that were once used by some criminals or something. With cash this is not a problem because we don't have a public ledger for cash, all cash is the same, but with Bitcoin, all transactions are recorded for everyone to see. I know confidential transactions are coming which is cool, because its no one's business to know how much money you are moving but you and the other party, but ultimately this does not solve the fungibility problem. So how do you keep the ledger public, while making it impossible to know if your Bitcoins are "good bitcoins" or "bad bitcoins" so to speak, so all Bitcoins are the same? There is already a market for "freshly mined bitcoins with 0 transactions": see this
I think everyone deserves the same level of anonymity and fungibility, no matter if you are expert, noob, wealthy or poor. It shouldn't be something "extra". I hope this makes any sense.
The solution is not Confidential Transactions alone. The ultimate solution is the combination of Ring Signatures with confidential transactions and is under development
There is no reason why bitcoin could not duplicate this work in a side chain. The advantages and disadvantages of side chains of course is another discussion. The point is that the changes you request are too drastic to ever be implemented in bitcoin itself.

Bitcoin can still work in case of an emergency.

Material is still even. Pretty even chess match so far.
I like the current GUI just fine. It is simple to use and works fine for me. However when I look at the links above I found some pull requests for a new GUI from back in January. Why were these closed?
I am not one of the people referenced above for those pull requests but I think your guess is correct. My guess is that additional GUI updates will happen after the database work by cryptozoidberg and clintar is done.

Re: Yall get a slice of Boolberry pie or what?

I love Boolberry pie. At current prices I may buy 2 slices!
Start mining Boolberry everyone! Increase the network hash rate and earn some Boolbery
If there are too many people mining BBR, everybody will get fewer coins.
From a selfish miners perspective you are right. Right now getting more people involved is more important. Lets grow the community and share the wealth instead!
Right now volume is pretty low. That is a problem because it makes it hard to buy or sell a large position quickly without significantly moving the price. All that can really be done at the moment is to buy or sell small amounts at a time or place large buy or sell walls and be willing to wait a long time before they get filled. I hope volume increases but I know its a problem faced by many coins.
Volume will probably rise when the new database work is done.
This honestly seems like the worst possible time to sell BBR. CryptoZoidberg is visibly active again and there is new db code to test.
Last summer fall around the time of the SuperNet announcement and huge price increase might have been a good time to sell BBR. Today will important development progress being made and prices and extremely low levels I see no reason why anyone would want to sell

Re: [BBR] Boolberry: Privacy and Security - Guaranteed[Bittrex/Poloniex]GPU Released
May be not if we can make dev team jealous with another coin. Look at Vanilla coin, only 6 month development, now rank 3rd in poloniex worth almost 45.000 satoshi while BBR stuck at 8000 satoshi.
Perhaps we should discuss which new dev we would like to recruit.
Smooth seems like the logical choice because he is familiar with the CryptoNote codebase and has a proven willingness to look at other CryptoNote coins besides Monero.
The big question mark are his time availability and how much we can offer in terms of compensation
Does everyone agree the database should be the next focus for development?
Marketing is important too but the community is who should be working on that
Disclosure: I have a stake in Monero, both in the community and financially. Despite that, I attempt to impartially start this topic of debate between these two privacy-centric currencies.
I am interested in anonymous cryptocurrencies, and Monero and Shadowcash both catch my eye (as well as BoolBerry, luv u 2).
smooth I am quoting the OP just to prove I am not spamming. americanpegasus mentioned boolberry by name

Re: jl777: Boolberry ONLY making significant improvements to cryptonote...NO XMR
Boolberry Compared to Bitcoin In comparison to Bitcoin forks, Boolberry is developed on newer CryptoNote technology, making it of more flexible architecture. The main benefit of CryptoNote technology is anonymity of the sender and recipient along with transaction unlinkability. This provides great protection to user's privacy which is highly important today.
Boolberry benefits:
Ring Signature based cryptography, which ensures new level of privacy, anonymity and unlinkability
Separate Wallet and Daemon provide and additional level of security and cloud compatibility
Flexible RPC-like network protocol with forward and backward capability provides ability to extend network interaction format quickly and painlessly.
New ASIC-Resistant Hash algorithm named Wild Keccack takes the SHA3 Keccak to a higher level.
Boolberry Compared to CryptoNote Boolberry was designed from the beginning to address several issues with Ordinary CryptoNote coins such incomplete anonymity and block chain bloat.
Transaction identification by prefix allows Boolberry to cut ring signatures from block chainreducing block chain size by 60-90%, depending on mixin usage.
Removed Dust from block reward to reduce block chain size even more.
New block chain based PoW hash provides faster synchronization with network and immunity from DoS attacks.
Network Alerts allow developers to broadcast messages about critical updates or other important events to the network
Donation-based crowd-funding: Boolberry has an open and transparent model of project financing with a maximum of 1% of mined coins reserved for project development. The actual rate is controlled by network participants (miners) using votes. Boolberry gives a fixed percentage to the CryptoNote founders.
Wallet address aliasing: any wallet can be linked with symbolic name via special type extra record in coinbase. Block chain will control registered names uniqueness.
More rational emission curve
This was a very impressive coin from the beginning. With the very slow emission curve it is the perfect coin to start mining now. Early adopters were not rewarded with the lion share of all coins. Of the Cryptonote coins with an official GUI (XDN, BCN and BBR) please look carefully at the emission schedules and decide which one looks the most equitable considering the coin features that existed at the time most coins were being distributed
I think Boolberry has great potential to displace DASH based on its superior technology and fair distribution

Supernet update below. Join slack if you want to track things more carefully. This coin offers many new ideas and works well already with a user friendly GUI, mixin improvements and a smaller blockchain for faster synching
Proof that BBR is still going to be an important part of supernet (from today): you can join at : https://sprnt.slack.com
bbreconomy how is teleport integration doing? bbreconomy many cryptonote fans are excited about its inclusion in supernet bbreconomy I think a lot of monero believers will join supernet too if bbr is included soon bbreconomy it has a nice gui already unlike xmr and supernet is creating a nice economy jl777 some details of the teleport have changed, but once it is finalized, then there will be a specific task for the BBR to perform jl777 I am envisioning a trustless mixing using BBR ringsigs, so to combine teleport, mixing and ring sigs bbreconomy thanks jI777. glad to know you still plan to feature BBR for ring sigs
It is unreasonable to expect users to jump through proprietary hoops like Slack in order to obtain updates about a project previously promoted publicly.
Many months after jl777's announcement, BBR integration is still in the "envisioning" stage. Just like everything else to do with SuperNet...lots of vaporware and visions but nothing real and working to show for it.
Not entirely vaporware, in terms of BBR at least:
CZ mentioned a while back that the integration was done on the BBR side and that appears to be the case:
