I'm just your average computer scientist...this network outage is bollocks.
I have been concerned about the BBR network ever since I did the math and realized each "connected miner" address on one of the main public mining.blue pools is doing ~ 18 MH/sec. That's some serious hash rate, even for Wild Keccak terms. I estimate what I am calling a botnet behind BBR on mining.blue had at least 50 wallet addresses doing ~ 18 MH/sec each in Wild Keccak terms which is ~ 590 Intel Xeon Sandy Bridge 2.9 GHz cores running full blast to get that 1 GH/sec. It's not like AEON where the main pool has 1400 public addresses mining away and the average for each miner address is totally reasonable. Our average is not reasonable for the average "one CPU-one vote". How can everyone not see this? Just no comment? The difficulty is totally controlled ~ 250 mining address, each of which is not the average person. It could be as few as that. Seriously. I get that number because 50 mining address are doing 1 GH/sec, so 250 are doing the full 5 GH/sec. Of course the other 4 GH/sec is "dark". What pool they on? How can anyone get anonymity out of a black box of 250 connected miners, escapes me. There's good reason to believe one entity controls most or all of that. When the botnet goes down, the coin goes down. There is no distributed network to speak of. I can throw some hash rate at it, but come on....
Also, you cannot restore the BBR wallet from seed. Major gripe. This BS has been around since 2014. Give me a break.
....hmm.... now to deep dive the code and do my next expose. First thing to find out....why the wallet don't restore from seed. You think I'm gonna wait around for CZ for this? Hah. Where are the programmers in this thread :\
Does anyone actually mine this coin? Or all ya'll just investors.
1. This science approach is balls. Im an economist and i can overthrow your asumptions, which are useless.
First, there are GPUS and CPUS. Try it for yourself. Use brain and a gpu, you will see. No botnets here, when the BBR was not listed on exchanges, there was little hashing power. Been here for a while, more than half a year, my part is from 5MH - 45MH.
2. The "secret pool" find for yourself at block explorer
http://explorer.mining.blue/en/#pools3. will try to restore wallet from seed, just to prove you wrong again and post it here
4. Try sience approach at more serious note, your claims are weak
5. interesting is how new accounts come and molest and than network goes down, DDOS attack on pools and etc,
assuming someone doesnt want competition
