This said, the blockchain will grow larger than bitcoin one, by a linear factor. Price to "pay" for unlinkability and untraceability.

Chain is going to be larger for this one, probably some 5-20x larger than that of Bitcoin's. That being said, that means maybe hundreds of GB at worst in a few years, which isn't an impossible tradeoff (for now) with privacy.

There are a lot of propositions for means to reduce the size of the blockchain, and we're reviewing them all carefully.

Having most people use thin clients isn't really a big deal, is it? Cryptos in general are moving towards that point anyway. The only issue in general is making sure enough people have incentive to run full nodes.

Yup ... FWIW your post inspired me to make a quick mention over in the XCurrency thread. 

Yup - I know.  Preparing for another pump -> dump.  Maybe I should get in at $0.15 & join the dump ...

Perhaps amateur hour at over promising, selling on hype, under delivering would be a better description.

Primecoin is a nice proof of concept but nothing more.
It has zero benefit to the user of the currency wrt other "classic" coins such as bitcoin/litecoin. Note also that the scientific contribution of the PoW function is not so clear.

I don't see anything that would justify a 2000% gain, or even that it is undervalued. If you are saying that just because it's cheaper than it was in the past, it's a fallacy.
Price decrease is because media hype is fading away, and the price was partly (mostly?) based on media hype. Media hype is not a fundamental, in fact it is the same as a shitcoin short-term hype, but instead of the dev promotting his shit in a bitcointalk thread, it's an often clueless "journalist" doing it on coindesk. Different scales but same lack of fundamentals behind the price.

Boolberry was designed from the beginning with smaller blockchain in mind. The ring signatures can easily be cut off reducing the size by 50%.

You might have valid points but this doesn't dispute the fact that XPM will go the moon with Bitcoin and will track gains on top of BTC. take a look at what happened to the alts last December. No matter what the coin you could have made 2-10X your BTC, the same is going to happen with XPM this time around. Simply look at the high volume spikes in the chart below corresponding with a massive surge in price. Prices have now trickled down 95% on little to no volume at all, and a massive spike is coming. Dont shoot the messenger  
 
1W MACD buy signal active and the sell volume has disappeared

It has been open source the whole time. The ongoing work can be tracked on github.
