+1 for Rings

i'm not a fan of 'rings'; doesn't smack much of a currency and isn't at all indicative of what bbr can offer that other notes don't. can you see yourself spending 0.5 rings on something? is that a semicircle instead?  

if we're going to rename then take some time to consider what makes bbr special and go from there. a less-silly name doesn't automatically equate to a better-fitting one.

interesting; i wonder if that's where 'orb and 'orbit' come from in english  

the obol was a silver coin used in ancient greece!

it's grown on me too. but a lot of outside investors seem to not like the name.

i urge everyone to come up with a name that will stick, since honeypenny was renamed to boolberry in the first place. think of what makes a name professional, and (if possible) what will portray bbr's unique qualities.

+1000. Our PoW is good enough. Don't change it. New good name is more urgent. What about LibertyNote?

Concur.  The only "problem" with the PoW was that it was new, and thus, went through the same private-optimization growing pains that every other new PoW does.  There are one or two little things I'd tweak in it in a second version, but they're tiny and Zoidberg knows about them.   It doesn't have any obvious flaws in terms of being DRAM bandwidth-limited as far as an ASIC implementation goes (asterisk).

(asterisk) - there are some two to four-year-out technology trends (stacked DRAM) that will probably make it feasible to make ASICs for all of the cryptonote family and most other memory-limited coins, but the same trends will probably show up *first* in Intel's CPUs and Nvidia's GPUs, and the manufacturing challenges will make them less attractive for something as niche as coins. 

(double asterisk) - probably doesn't matter anyway.  It people spend a billion bucks on hardware just to mine Boolberry, then the coin has won, and a ton of people are able to take advantage of its privacy features.  That'd be cool.

32 bit windows has a 2gb user address space not 4gb and hasn't worked with xmr for months. Don't wait for this.

btw: i saw today that you found a bug with time_t used in nodetool::peerlist_entry, so it seems that you still have running instances with 32-bit... or did i miss something ?

yes, but 32 bits is 4 gb, so exceeding that creates even more issues
Is there objective analysis of the growth rate of XMR memory usage (not just compressed filesize but system RAM usage) based on time, tx vs. BBR?

so this could be action not from "crazy miner", but rather "evil competitor" who just sells some relatively small amounts and lower and lower prices. How much did the sustained selling cost the daily dumper? Maybe 50 BTC at most. Small price to pay if you can kill off a competitive coin that has better tech.

Now it will cost 30 BTC just to get past my walls and curiously there was no daily dump into it, so now that the cost is increasing a lot for this financial attack, BBR can be restored to its rightful place.

Now, there is only 36 BTC on the buy side and 30 BTC is from me. So, all the people that say they arent technical or cant do websites to help, just put a bid in on polo. Any price near the market is good. The more it costs the daily dumper to move the price, the less likely he is to dump. After all how many coins can he possibly have?

The whole theory that this is a crazy miner just doesnt make sense to me. Maybe amazon cloud is finding coins using private miner but 10 times cheaper? highly doubtful. This is why I have this theory and i am testing with 30 BTC. So, if this wall is not touched we are nearly convinced it is not a crazy miner. I already have plenty of BBR so I will not be moving my bids higher, if anything I will start lowering it, so if it is crazy miner, you better fill the bids before I start lowering the price
