merely a clone of BCN without new feathers added = DEAD COIN!
It has all the innovative feathers of BCN as they come, plus an official GUI, without the premine. If you don't want to use most to all of your RAM just to send/receive transactions, and don't like massive premines, this is the best CryptoNote. It's not merely a clone, and it certainly isn't dead.

Re: [BBR] Boolberry: Privacy and Security - Guaranteed[Bittrex/Poloniex]GPU Released
I'm not so sure it's just variance. I wrote a script for monero that xnbya runs with some modifications here ( http://minexmr.com/pools.html ), and in my experience it's not sometimes, it is all the time that the sum of the known pools hashrates adds up to be 20-33% larger than the hashrate calculated from the diff. I think the diff is based on last 24 hours, and the pools base their hashrate on the diff of blocks over the last 10 or 30 minutes. Maybe I'm wrong, but if it was just variance in the hashrate, then at some point the calculated network hashrate would be higher than the sum of the pools (since this isn't even including unknown/private pools and solo miners), but in my experience this is never true - the sum of the known pools is always greater than the calculated network hashrate. I don't know why this would be, just an observation from monero that also seems to hold true for boolberry and bytecoin.
If it is consistently true and doesn't swing the other direction as well, then the pools are overstating their hash rate. Simple as that.
That seems reasonable. Maybe not anything malicious, but just a bug in the node pool software perhaps?
Could this be the problem reported by monero.crypto-pool.fr where malicious miners are sending in some real shares followed by many fake shares all at once?
The previous network glitch was not a DDoS; it was an unreported error in the daemon. Removing the blockchain and resyncing fixes the problem. This needs to be examined, or this could happen again in the future.

I'll match all donations up to 5000 BBR total. What that means is that I'll match every BBR donated one for one until 5000 have been raised. So if 5000 is donated I'll throw in another 5000 for a total of 10,000 BBR.

I'll donate 1000.

If the developer isn't doing a good job or completely abandoned the project it could be hardforked and a new donation address could be set up or completely removed. That in combination with the no votes makes it pretty fair in my opinion.

Re: [BBR] Boolberry: Privacy and Security - Guaranteed[Bittrex/Poloniex]GPU Released
It looks to me from looking only at that one block of code (so this may be wrong), that donations are computed from a fixed amount of the total supply (1% I guess) less the amount of previous donations. So the effect is that as long as one miner votes for the donation, the entire donation amount (1% of the total supply) will eventually be donated (over a similar timescale to the overall emission curve). Votes no don't reduce the total donation, they reduce the current donation but increase future donations, in effect slowing down donations but not ultimately changing the total.
But I haven't studied this that carefully so I may be wrong.
Yes, I think that's how it works.

Are we still paying royalty to CN developers? Is the royalty compulsively?
Yes, and not really. I think if you solo mine, then you can turn off the 1% donation, but if you mine at a pool, then I think they mostly have it turned on. It's really not clear, and I've asked for more information previously, and was told to read the source code. It would be nice if there was more than a vague sentence or two about miners voting on dev bounty for non-c++ programmers.
Pools could be adapted to take miners' donation votes, and vote in their blocks on average the same as their miners vote. The effect of each individual miner would of course be proportional to each miner's hashrate.

Every day, the votes are counted from the day's blocks. The donation amount is calculated as 1% of the day's emission times the percentage of "yes, donate" votes. Then 1% of the day's emission is subtracted from the not-yet-donated amount (which starts out as 1% of the total supply). Then the donation amount is rounded down to get rid of dust.
Basically this has the same effect as if when each miner votes "yes, donate" 1% of the block reward goes to the developer, and if they vote "no" nothing goes to the developer.
You can correct me if I'm wrong.
edit: not sure about striked parts
