Will someone explain how the hell rhinos will be saved by launching this coin?
23  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should Boolberry implement a tail emission? on: January 22, 2016, 05:29:19 AM
I think Monero adopting Boolberry's best features is the biggest threat to it.

Of course I want Boolberry to succeed but I also support Monero. We are friendly communities. Monero does not seem to be upset that we are discussing implementing their idea (tail emission) so we should not be upset if they later implement some version of pruning (likely to be different than Boolberry) or that they are also moving to 2 minute blocks. Open source development always benefits other development projects. Should Boolberry modify its LevelDB plans due to the Monero success with LMDB? I don't know.
https://github.com/cryptozoidberg/boolberry/tree/db

This is all just an experiment. Lets make Boolberry the best we can and build an economy around it rather than worry about which coin is implementing ideas developed by another.

Monero and Boolberry will never be the same. I am certain that when the official Monero GUI is released it will be much different (with many new features) and not based on the current Boolberry GUI. If the community agrees that we should implement tail emission I hope that we make it different than the tail emission designed by Monero.

Monero could learn a lot from Boolberry of course, and I think they need to implement some of Boolberry's ideas (especially the ability to require a certain amount of mixins for an output). But it would be sad to see Boolberry die because of it.

I do not think that anyone can be certain that even a tail emission will be sufficient to solve this problem. For tail emissions (or finite) cryptocurrencies to work, a cryptocurrency would have to be a great success.

I don't believe cryptocurrencies that aren't a great success can work at all. They're both insecure and useless.

So in designing, you might as well design with the assumption of great success because other possibilities don't matter.


Meh, if I have to choose in between:

A. An 80% chance to make a small but above average income by running a mom and pop business

or

B. A 20% chance to make large corporation that is highly successful and earns millions, or nothing if the corporation is not highly successful.

I am a bit of a nit, but I am going to choose option A- especially if option B is an alternative cryptocurrency going against highly network effected super powers such as Bitcoin and Litecoin. Hell, I can name approximately 10 coins with greater network effects than Monero (I could name exponentially more for Boolberry.) With those odds I'm taking option A all day long...

You are conservative and are probably not alone in that view. If taking a lie detector test, I don't think anyone here would claim to think Boolberry has a greater chance of commercial success than Monero.

The current market cap of each coin reflects that:
14,323 BTC for Monero
153 BTC for Boolberry
http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/monero/
http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/boolberry/

Monero is valued at over 93 times that of Boolberry today. Putting aside the risk/reward analysis there are non speculative reasons to care about Boolberry.

Boolberry and Aeon also provide value as a testbed for potential features that may one day be implemented into Monero (such as pruning). If there is a new promising but "unproven" feature that could cause catastrophic loss if a flaw is found would there be less economic loss if that happened in Boolberry or Monero? Boolberry is definitely a useful experiment. Only time will tells what happens. Until then all we can do is our best.
I think Monero adopting Boolberry's best features is the biggest threat to it.

As the most superficial person here, I want "boolberries" to be very collectible. They still will be with a tail emission, but slightly less so. If it *really* will improve the Boolberry network then I support it.

im not able to download the blockchain thru the client and the peerlist is not getting connected either.
Try
Code:
./qt-boolb --add-priority-node 66.228.33.249:10101 --add-priority-node 59.120.166.36:10101 --add-priority-node 62.201.213.25:10101 --add-priority-node 95.85.21.33:10101 --add-priority-node 107.170.97.197:10101
It seemed to work for other people in this thread.

I always sync easily. Which OS do you use? Someone on Reddit was talking about having problems with iOS.
I use Linux and also had to use the above command to get it to sync.

This was ShapeShift's (template) response to my request to add Boolberry, for what it's worth:
Quote
Thanks for reaching out. I have added boolberry to our discovery list and our development team will look into it when they begin to decide on the next coins to add. We receive several dozen requests a day for new coins to be added so can not assure you we will add your coin, but we will for sure look into it and see if it makes sense for us to add at this time. Any new coins we add will be announced on our social media channels as well as via our email list.

Why is everyone ignoring the China problem?
Would it be a problem if most of the miners were in the US, Japan, Germany, France, and the UK?

That still does not add up to nearly the population of China. Stop being racist, people.
It's not racism, you fuckwit. A country ruled by a malevolent regime controls 95% of hashing power. It isn't a great situation. You are quite naive if you think this is nothing to be concerned about at all.

Hello everyone. What do you think of Boolberry's possible involvement in the CryptoNote/Bytecoin scam?

Can you link? I'd like to know more
(I just noticed you actually commented on that thread.)

1. Yes BBR has some unknown developers like most other coins.
2. Some of the developers appear to have a good understanding of CryptoNote as evidenced by Boolberry being very innovative early. BBR was the first CryptoNote coin to implement blockchain pruning and also the 1st with an official GUI.
3. The Boolberry launch was very fair with no premine and a very reasonable emission schedule (which makes mining Boolberry very attractive today).
Yes Boolberry is the most advanced and different of the CryptoNote coins. Is there any news regarding Shapeshift's inclusion of BBR by the way?
(It would really be something if darknet markets started accepting Boolberry.)

We all know this. The available supply will be double what it is now in ~20 years. Maybe I'll start a thread telling everyone that 500,000 darkcoins were mined in the first hour. I think it might be a scam!
39  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: RUBYCOIN SCAM on: December 09, 2015, 04:25:49 AM
The market has spoken.....Monero is shittest.....Ruby is also shit....but not as shit as Monero.

Monero has no GUI, a raft of other issues and a no updated wallet in god knows how long lol - its not hard to overtake!
I like Monero, but that aside hopefully people will turn their attention to Boolberry, the best cryptonote coin with a GUI wallet.

Boolberry is probably the most underappreciated coin. It also has the best name.
