[BBR] Boolberry: Privacy and Security - Guaranteed Since 2014

[adaseb]

Any problems with the network?

For some reason I can't sync with the block chain, it keeps saying "loading blockchain data" and nothing happens.

Do you use windows version ?
I guess i know what the bug is, try to download blockchain from website: http://boolberry.com/downloads/windows/blockchain.bin (if you use windows) and load GUI from that.
Next build will be with fix for this problem.

I erased the blockchain.bin file and then relaunched the client and now its working perfectly.

No idea what caused this problem.

Boolberry has just been added to new exchanges.

Boolberry is a cool and unusual name that can build a strong 'brand' identity.

Their is nothing wrong with the boolberry name or the current boolberry logo.

The 3 proposed name changes are all terrible when compared to boolberry - in my honest opinion.

At best I'm thinking to stop mining BBR for now and at worst ? Although the technical fundamentals are mostly their - does this project actually have a clear direction moving forward ? Is a 2nd name change and re-branding really worthwhile at this stage ?

I am with you on this BitcoinFX. But something that you may not be aware of is that the current name, even after being quite unique, has hurt adoption after being ridiculed here in forums and exchange boards. It took a while to get used to the Boolberry name and I am sure with time I will get used to the new one as well.

Please don't stop mining or supporting this great coin. It would be extremely disappointing to see you go.

Also beware of trolls who are posting here as if they care about the name Boolberry. These same persons use the name to denigrate it in other places and they will hate to see that the name is being changed and they can no longer attack it. I think we all know who robinwiliams is a sockpuppet of too.

I feel you bro  

Somehow I also got used to BBR.

...and RUNE, jesus, it's gonna be even worse. If we are gonna change name can we at least pick something in connection with Chinese mythology - like DRAGON or something like that, China love this shit.

how about j0ts or dots or something?

[nakaone]

is this renaming stuff serious? why?

IF you do not like boolberry PLEASE simply call it BBR - rebranding at this stage does not make sense at all.

despites I would probably not support one name change except it would be brilliant, the chosen names are horrible.

please stick to the name or use BBR

[tifozi]

Yes it is quite serious I think some have been saying it for more than a month now and it looks like it is finally coming to fruition.

BitcoinFX, thanks for support, it wasn't easiest decision, but after all we decided to come up with new name and brand before major development steps.


Anyway, thank you!

[crypto_zoidberg]

Ok so sell me on this. Why shouldn't I buy XMR over this

It's very simple man, voice of reason: because, unlike other coins, our addresses starts from 1:

ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

(BBR) Boolberry name is being retired.

VOTE HERE for your choice in the rebranding and new coin name:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=786527.msg8866215#msg8866215

An interesting development...

A couple quick notes.

Is "rune" not a single syllable as opposed to two?  It has a mystical connotation.  I think it is my fav of the three.

Vortex could have a negative connotation as it is associated with drains, tornados and used as "caught in a vortex".

Is the poll ONLY open to the three candidates?

Yes. The poll is open to 3 choices. You need to make the vote on the voting thread.

 Although the technical fundamentals are mostly their - does this project actually have a clear direction moving forward ? Is a 2nd name change and re-branding really worthwhile at this stage ?

We have a VERY clear direction moving forward. The rebranding is the first step in that direction.

Its great that you were a fan of BoolBerry, but the name was been ridiculed in english-first language regions since its inception. The conotations of both "bool" and "berry" are cartoonish in english-first language regions. 

Although "bool" has a meaningful technological aspect the pronounciation of it, especially when couple with "berry" left it sounding, to be quite honest, silly.

Although it might not seem fair, having a name that is brandable in English, first and foremost, is a very important consideration.

[windjc]

Ok so sell me on this. Why shouldn't I buy XMR over this

a - this developer is moving faster
b - this coin is part of the superdupernetwork
c - the emission curve is fairer
d - it's cheaper

i'm not a blueberry fan but those are the reasons.

At least you admit that you are not a boolberry fan. So no need to gripe about not being able to vote on the name change.

First i want the best for Boolberry and if the re-branding will help, then i will advocate it.
By my self i like the name Boolberry, but i´m not a English-first language speaker.

How i understand you would the re-branding have only a positive effect to the english-first language regions. What do you assume how big the effect will be, and will be it worth to re-brand it for this?
Do you estimate that it will be a bigger potential first-english language user base as non-english-first language user base ?

BBR devs seem to have no problem disrespecting the BBR community by not even having an option to keep the name Boolberry.

I'm not really a "member of the community" although I've mined some and I hold a little, but I agree with the sentiment that a sincere community vote should include the option to retain the name. Otherwise you are making use of the "whoever controls the vote controls the results" principle and the vote is a sham.

Who said anything about vote, it's choice of lump it like it..... This Sir is not a Democracy.......I vote for Aardvark Coin at least it will be at the top of list.......it's as good a name as the given choices...IMHO

Really. Limiting the fourth renaming poll of the cryptocurrency you started to a measly three options after the previous polls with 1000 options including the status quo returned no consensus?! Absurd. CZ is literally hitler.

The names of proper cryptocurrencies are voted on by at least 1,000,000 sockpuppets community members in a poll with at least 1,000,000,000 generic nouns options. Name one successful cryptocurrency that was not named democratically.

P.S. Boolberry is a terrible name, I will now make fun of it.

/s In all seriousness, I like the name Boolberry but it is far too controversial. If we keep it again, this will only continue and I am sick of the name issue. The name doesn't matter.

[smooth]

Uh, the people running the vote?

Nobody told them to run a vote, but if you are going to run a vote the existing name should be one of the options. That is simply my opinion.

[jwinterm]

lol, who would have thought that hitler would return as a jewish space lobster

I think couple of monero shills have expressed this deep desire to keep the name Boolberry and their posts are not being deleted if they are sincere on the voting thread. Only darlidada/nekamoto sockpuppets are being deleted for being consistently repugnant. I am guessing this is why there is no poll option on the thread.

For the record, I full expected you to come here and show the support to keep the name BBR. Just very predictable mate.

[rdnkjdi]

I'm a monero supporter and hedge with same number of bbr.  I'm not a fan of the boolberry name.  But less of a fan of the new ones.  Regardless I'll keep matching with equal amounts of bbr/xmr
