So in your guys opinion, do you think that Boolberry will be able to run along side with Monero in the long run; or is this a cut throat match for a "best cryptonote" title that will enable said coin to be the "go to" coin for private transactions? I can't see a scenario where two coins with essentially the same design that fills a very specific niche to both be successful in the long run of things.
In the long run the most successful anonymous coin will probably obtain the majority of the anonymous transaction market. Right now Monero has a clear lead because of economies of scale. Even if Monero remains the leader the technical differences of Boolberry may allow it to become very successful. LTC is a big success despite the dominance of BTC.
Today merchant acceptance is the biggest hurdle for Boolberry to solve. Clearly a niche exists for Boolberry today since some users prefer an official GUI and do not have enough RAM to run Monero if they are not willing to compile the current source code themselves. Some of technical advantages of BBR may be temporary (Monero will eventually have an official GUI and a minimum mixin). Other differences may persist (blockchain pruning has advantages and potential risks). Continued development is essential for all CryptoNote coins to suit the needs of the market.
Comparing the market caps of Monero and Boolberry along with the tech makes me feel like Boolberry has massive upside. Risk of complete loss absolutely exists if economies of scale are never built. Despite its attractive mining rewards due to a slower emission schedule, the BBR hash rate remains extremely low compared to XMR.
