3. Where's the "hasty generalization?" All I said was that it's very nice to have two significantly different approaches for implementing CN. Oh Noez, I said something nice about BBR!? Quick, burn the witch!
There is a conception, popular among a faction of open source advocates and articulated in the dark enlightenment, that democratic urges are dissipative, and the only viable forms of governance are, in the most extreme form at least, outright dictatorial. But there are many projects which have had great success in the free world which have had much more egalitarian, collegial meritocratic or consensus-driven governance than, e.g. Linux. My impression is that an order of decreasing centralization of management would be: BBR, Linux, BTC, XMR.
It is natural and appropriate to defend the existing, well-working, management structure of XMR against ideologues influenced by dark enlightenment or other precepts. The more distributed structure makes it more robust to some of the risks which more centralized structures entail.
Trying to twist that into an antipathy to BBR is way out of line
I like you aminorex, because you surprise me with novel opinions and that's a rare talent. EG, framing a BBR vs XMR debate in terms of DE's neo-royalism. Wow, I did not expect that! Kudos!
But I don't need to "twist" anything to demonstrate antipathy to BBR, because there's plenty of that here already:
I'm tired of all this Boolberry crap, the only reason anyone is pumping this junk is because the coins became 40 times cheaper than Monero and everyone now has huge stacks of these silly coins hoping to become rich, they are so worthless even I own thousands of Boolberry's, they cost such a small percent of my networth it made sense.
It would make me so happy for these Boolberry's to hit zero and never return, and these silly myths about the magnificent Zoidberg and the pumper James finally be laid to rest.
Canth, both coins are already winners in that they are very high profile and growing rapidly despite BTC being in a local downtrend.
We simply don't yet know at this time which one has superior merits, hence hedging. Disclosure: I spend far more on XMR (in May) than I have on BBR and XCN combined. So please don't pigeonhole me as a BBR partisan or an external enemy from outside of Cryptonote land.
My response to all of your cultish slings and arrows is this:
Narcissism of small differencesThe narcissism of small differences is a term that describes 'the phenomenon that it is precisely communities with adjoining territories, and related to each other in other ways as well, who are engaged in constant feuds and ridiculing each other' – 'such sensitiveness [...] to just these details of differentiation'.
