who is putting this big buy orders ?

I have heard some other people saying they would like clarification on some of these points as well. I will speak with CZ and make sure we get something out with our schedule of updates and releases detailing all this. As many more people are likely going to be joining the BBR community soon, its important that we as a community provide clear and concise information on all things BBR related.

Well, I would like to know the answer to this.

As for the naming issue, it does not appear that there is consensus on a name change (looking at the unofficial poll).  I suggest a moratorium on the issue (no discussion about it in this thread, no possible renaming of the coin) for 6 months.

reciprocal_value64 needs __int128 support from compiler.
Sure miner could be made to work without __int128 on 32bit targets, by using 64bit modulus operation, but who uses 32bit systems nowadays?  I have had 64bit since 2006..

Therefore, the community started asking a lot of questions, such as: “when you stop working will you still get the 5 percent or less? Can this ‘less’ mean ‘zero’?” If another developer takes your place will you still collect the 5 percent or less and the new developer get additional 5 percent or less taxes, effectively now 10 percent at most? Will anyone wish to invest their money in a coin that even the creators does not know what money to take out of it?

I would agree, its what we decide to make it. You for example I have a lot of hope for; your the only one I know that is really trying to make a difference. You've kept your cool through this whole naming fiasco. You seem to be on good terms with the Dev.

This coin HAS NO EXCUSE, the technology is there, it just a matter of marketing and a strong community.

Thanks for the post.

90% of that article is nothing but positive things about BBR.

And the criticism above I would mainly agree with. But these "marketing strategies" and "community engagement" issues are exactly what is changing with this coin. Of course, it can't happen overnight. But it can happen over the next weeks and months. And it will. It's all about planning and execution. Which we will do.

HEY GUYS IMPORTANT

This is what they are saying about us. We need to get our shit together!!

Small community. The core of popularity of each coin, and therefore its profitability is based on the engagement of the community. Creators of Boolberry seem to forget about it. It is not easy to convince big amount of people to your idea, even if you refine your marketing strategies to perfection. In this case, they are not even close. Bad marketing strategies, blurry communication, poor forum support, showing their concerns on every step – this are the signs that the whole think was not thought well. Plus that my grandma has more likes on Facebook.

Some more bad things about us. TIME TO GET OUR SHIT TOGETHER

TIME TO GET OUR SHIT TOGETHER!

Good point. I might have missed the explanation behind keeping it 64 bit. Maybe mbk can assist.

Yea, Wolf0 confirmed on other thread that 32 bit won't work to compile. Kinda sucks, since almost every other miner can be compiled on 32 bit os, but oh wells.

Did this get resolved? I think 32 bit is your problem.

If you guys are still considering new names for BBR I've been thinking of a couple of suggestions.

I've been looking at Latin words for names because the Roman currency was probably the first worldwide currency to exist. Something that had value everywhere.

Gold has always been scarce and valuable. Gold is mined and traded as money. The Aureus was the most valuable coin the the early Roman empire from what I understand. And the symbol for gold of course being 'Au'.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aureus

Variations(note: I specifically avoid any words ending with 'o' for obvious reasons):

Aureus
Aureae
Aureum
Aureis
Aurei
Aurea

Also, I noticed 'Secore' was one of the suggestions upthread. Going on that theme there is:

Securus
Secura
Securum
Securi
Securae
Securas
Securis



Boolberry itself is not necessarily a bad name. But I guess it depends on what your goals are and what sort of message you want to convey with the name of your currency. As a name in many contexts Boolberry could be a great name. But there's no question that some disregard Boolberry simply because they dislike the name.

One reason I tend to prefer Latin roots over other names like Rune is that some people might associate a name like Rune with a 'fantasy' type image. Like something from a game, or series of novels. Again, it's a solid name, but I'm not sure if it will really click with some people.

On the other hand, the Latin names might go over the head of some people as well. But with the Latin names, they're at least firmly rooted in human history and have a strong association with value and money.

Just thought I'd throw my suggestions in here. I like the work CZ has been doing and I've been impressed with what he's managed to accomplish.

Some problems trying to compile opencl miner:

Any help appreciated

Edit: I think that you need 64-bit linux to compile. Thanks to otila on freenode for help.

slapper, you and the other team's trolls deserve each other.  You're both as silly as each other!   

This threads sucks because it's a tedious rehash with zero original content.

I rate it Zero Bowls of Popcorn.   

Thank you for the Godwin; now we can move on to more interesting and original discussions.

I CAME AS SOON AS I HEARD!     IS IT TRUE??

slapper, you and the other team's trolls deserve each other.  You're both as silly as each other!   

Here's another name suggestion.  It signifies the rarity of our prized, exquisite coin.
