Is it still profitable to mine?

LOL... I find the whole name conversation boggling...

When I talk to (lay) people about Crypto, which is a lot, the quantum leap is to get them to think about transacting in anything that isn't fiat. It all seems strange and alien.

Once you get them to do that, and they 'kind-of-get-the-whole-Bitcoin-thing' - they automatically get the benefit of coins that cater for truly anonymous transactions.

The last thing we talk about is the name of anon coins... by that point, they are so far outside their normal spectrum of thinking, that you could call the coin (just about) anything you care to imagine.

They want to know what's the best coin(s). When I mention Boolberry (and I live in an English speaking country), they don't bat an eyelid.

The technology will stand on whether it delivers anonymity and whether it's secure. Then whether its fast and it's usable. Deliver that, you can call the coin pretty much what you wish (within reason  ).

People are far more inspired when I draw analogies between the talent of CZ and that of a Steve Jobs or a Bill Gates. When I tell them, imagine if they had an opportunity to invest in a Microsoft or an Apple in the first few months of it's inception? Wouldn't they wish they took that opportunity?

They don't stop me mid sentence and say... "what did you say the name of that coin is again... couldn't possibly invest or transact in something called that!..."

So Rune or Boolberry, same difference. Just my experience on the ground...


   

Why people keep replying to drawingthemoon is beyond me, he sounds like a hyperactive 8 year old, and he certainly isn't doing boolberry any favours.

On another note, I really don't see an issue with the name, boolberry sounds pretty fun in english, perhaps market the coin for a large gambling/porn focus, this is where all CryptoCurrency will shine in the near future anyway. Also imagine paying for coffee with boolberries, the local barista/hipster would love it!

Paying in boolberries sounds like a lot more fun.

Edit:

So some say the name is too strange to invest in?

Their loss, tough shit.

Perhaps they would be better off doing the maths?

tbh, I don't think paying someone in runes sounds any better/more legitimate than paying someone in boolberries, if anything it sounds stranger in my mind to say I'm going to pay someone in mystic characters rather than funny berries (wtf am I talking about )

What a disgusting attitude.

You're the only one fudding here.

Good point - oddball names work for tech companies. Maybe you should go start a Boolberry search engine but I'm not going to pay you Googles for it since that sounds dumb.

It is pretty clear to me that your hostile and negative attitude and behavior exemplifies everything you claim has been and is being done by others. But I have pretty strong sense of irony, so maybe I'm seeing something that others don't agree is there.

Jesus, are we still flogging this dead horse?

Boolberry is perfect, I've said so from day one, it works brilliantly for google, is unique and friendly.

Just because some here think it should have a different name is no reason to change it. Some of the proposed names are just pretentious and too technical. We want this to work for the layman, not satisfy some small time investors wish to appear grandiose and out-of-reach.

This was settled ages ago, leave it alone.

Edit:

RUNE ?

For fucks sake, that's appalling.

Stop trying to be so clever, it puts people off.

But then that's exactly what you guys did to Boolberry? Lying scums like aminorex, rpietila, fluffypony and the rest of the handful of XMR pondscum all caused FUD about BBR and have been doing surreptitiously since the launch. I agree there will always be FUD with success, but there will be FUD from fear and threat too, which is what you are an example of vis-a-vis BBR.


You don't want to go there mate. I am still leaving XMR alone. Some of us want the little guys to get out first. You lot are the poison of XMR and until you guys serve as any sort of figurehead, it will be doomed.

It's actually quite simple. The altcoin world is a shit storm of everyone trying to boost their own coin by tearing down others, particularly the more successful others. This has nothing to do with first, last, or whatever. Anyone who gets any degree of success at all gets FUDed, shilled, hated, etc.  You're a great example of this behavior in action.

They are the correct interpretation and you know it. You reap what you sow. You will continue making the same arrogant mistakes that has caused the problems in the XMR world and then pretend to ponder why you guys keep getting attacked from all directions, or worse yet, throw in your perpetual "oh the BCN shills" card. Think why despite it being a open source and the first community fork of CN it generates so much hate all around. It is arrogant mismanagement and incompetence to build a coin the way it is supposed to be. You just think people don't recognize posers like you in XMR. A majority do, and the gullible have bought into XMR, at least a few are getting out.

Bad Karma mate.

Guys, all we want to do is evolve and progress. This re-branding is not because we think it is fun to do it, but because we are sure that it will help us to progress. I do understand that Boolberry already grew on some of you, but we need to look further and wider.

My vote went for the name "Rune" and I did it because it has a hint to technology and it is inspiring. It doesn't mean that we're positioning the brand with mythology, although it does mean that we're seeing a new, reincarnated and evolved today's meaning of "Rune".

The majority of the community seems to be supporting "Rune" as well. Not to mention that it is way more easily memorable to new users.

People tend to see in others what exists in themselves.. such as your obvious fear the name boolberry wont be taken seriously. the technology stands on its own.. why should you care if someone mocks the name? every successful coin name has been mocked

windjc yeah anyone offering a reasonable opinion, which is shared by many others in the bbr community, must have some ulterior motive because xmr. you're the only one that mentions xmr in the last few pages, while still managing to ignore people that want to see a fair poll

you should get back to the "official rebranding thread" i'm sure there are a few more posts there for you to delete

Can't disagree with you there.


Whatever you want to misinterpret or mischaracterize is up to you. I can't control that.

"People" have expressed it in their posts and they will be considered. Poll will be exploited by sockpuppets as we can see a sockpuppet was posting again and again deliberately calling it "blueberry" and other forms of mockery. Those that have expressed their affinity for keeping the name same have posted so and those are not being deleted. I recommend you post there the same way and move on.

Personally I detect fear in your posts. I considered you one of the Top 3 smart people in Monero. You made a mistake with concern trolling and displaying fear out in the open. The fear will be exploited down the road.

Where did they vote? On the official vote thread, it is stated that votes to keep the name the same will be deleted (and people have complained that their votes were indeed deleted).


I said before that I don't like the name so why would I argue with people about it. I think in the discussion here a LONG time ago I spoke in favor of changing it, but I'm not sure.

I still don't get your point. Those who want the name to remain same have voted so. Why so serious?

Can you point me to any posts where you got into arguments with Monero shills in the Monero thread making fun of the name Boolberry and have tried to defend the name?

Sorry, wrong again. In case it wasn't clear, I've been expressing a personal opinion, something I've done before I was involved with any coin, something I will do after, and something I do now. At times my views are diametrically opposed to those of others involved with that other coin. Frankly I have no idea how they feel about any BBR rebrand, and I speak for no one but myself.

I frequently participate in a variety of discussions independent of my affiliation with any coin, as an individual, and that will continue.

If you don't like my personal opinions, you will have a choice to ignore them or respond to them. Attempting to characterize them as the action of some other coin won't work.
