My opinion on the bbr/supernet hullabaloo:
1) I find the ego immediately followed by false humility off putting. In case it's not clear what I'm referring to, that would be this quote from the Supernet ANN and
http://www.jl777.org/supernet/ page:
It has been almost two days as I write this and BBR has gone from a death spiral with no volumes to being one of the more actively traded coins, its hashrate also quadrupled and the price is now building a base at 4x to 6x the price when I created the “jl777 effect”
immediately followed on both pages by this quote:
Now how can a simple C programmer like me have such an effect?
If you're referring to yourself in the third person while naming effects after yourself, you're probably not just a "simple" anything, imo.
2) If jl777 is just "a simple C programmer", then why is he undertaking one of the more complex and ambitious projects that requires extensive knowledge of various c++ codebases among other things?
3) I'm not sure where the confidence people have in jl777 to complete the project(s) comes from. As far as I can tell he hasn't delivered anything except for coins/tokens for sale on exchanges. Teleport is not functional, and I don't think any aspect of Supernet is functional. His repositories on github are very lightly forked/starred. Where is the technology he has developed that make people think he can/will pull this off?
4) I don't think I understand Supernet any better than I did before reading the previous several pages. It seems extremely complex, and I think any kind of complex system is prone to have more points of failure.
(Apparently Einstein probably didn't actually ever say that, but whatevs, the point remains the same.)
I'm not even sure if BBR is still supposed to be a part of the supernetwork, tbh. Could someone clarify that? Also, why would you let a GUI designer pick an encryption algorithm, btw, re: the quote below?
So the GUI designer can choose which cipher to use, etc. Let us hope the GUI designers have a better chance than 10%
