What type of businesses would you like to see accept Boolberry?
Bars, restaurants, bookstores, newsstands, adult shops etc. Actually most of businesses, if not all, should have option to pay with boolberry. Any business that accepts cash now For that to be possible, for any altcoin, it means that a reliable confirmation of payment is given to the business owner in 5-10 seconds maximum (100% chance that he will get his money). That's one of the main problem for altcoin use in everyday real life shops. Most of the business types from above do not need instantaneous payment confirmation,but you have a good point. Dev team should at least have plans for payment layer stuff that is in workings for the BTC Bars, restaurants, bookstores, newsstands, adult shops, coffee shops, supermarkets, etc... need near instantaneous payment system. When you pay by debit or credit card at such stores, and when the network of bank card reader is slow, it takes sometimes 10-15 seconds for the card reader to display Payment accepted, and when this occurs, you know time is really long for you and the vendor, waiting... Next time it happens, count 10 seconds in your head and you'll see it's a very long time to wait, for you and the seller... Altcoins have to be able to give at least as quick confirmation than credit or debit card reader... 5-10 seconds maximum. Otherwise I can't imagine how people would start using them in everyday life. I would never accept a payment system slower than cards readers, as sometimes they are already too slow themselves. |

You are absolutely right, something of lightning network type is a must have for crypto |

You are absolutely right, something of lightning network type is a must have for crypto Either that, or simple off-chain systems are fine for small amounts, or wallets with a modest degree of centralization (and countersign transactions as double-spend safe) such as greenaddress. If you can keep the bulk of your wealth in a completely private, secure 'be your own bank' form, then what is wrong with something like a prepaid card where you buy a modest amount of credit ahead of time which can be spent instantly? (Agree that lightning network is interesting and useful, and perhaps the future, but not necessarily essential for crypto to be useful.) Greenaddress is actually somewhat like lightning in that your coins can't be stolen, but much simpler. After a locktime expires you can get them back even without the site's permission. |

I think all BBR pools should enable to register an alias. with some fee or free if you are a miner in their pool.
Another idea is the complete opposite. If no pools offered that service then people would be encouraged to solo mine for long periods of time (as network hash rate increases) in order to find a block and register an alias. With pool mining, it is easy to switch from coin to coin and there is less incentive to mine Boolberry for long periods. If people really want a blockchain alias (or more than one alias) why not encourage them to solo mine and support the network? Currently solo mining a block can be a realistic goal for almost everyone. |

Losing or in the case of something like greenaddress having it tied up for an extended period until you can retrieve it (you can't really lose coins with that system). Also with a true offchain system there some dimension of reduced privacy (though also an increase along a different dimension, since your transactions are not broadcast to the world). So you may not want your entire financial life exposed to any one such system operator. Both issues apply to Lightning Network as well. Lightning is sort of an automated way to find an intermediary to handle offchain payments for you. |

Maybe you should ask the person who started it. Threads can be locked for many reasons. This thread and the new Boolberry speculation thread should be enough. I don't recall locking it. |

Just switched to Windows 10 and testing my system... experiencing a significant drop on mining speed with my gtx960 card, using the latest Nvidia driver (358.87) and the cpuminer-multi-opencl miner: Mining speed dropped from 830 kh/s to 560 kh/s! Is this common knowledge? Does anyone know how to fix this? Thx in advance!

I have nothing against Aeon but am confused about why it has been doing better than Boolberry recently on Bitrrex.
Boolberry has less coins in circulation (slower mining reward schedule) so I would expect its price to be higher even if the two coins were the same. Boolberry actually has lot more features, a larger community and has been around longer.
What do you think?

Dev activity, or lack of it here, explains all in my opinion. |
