Hi everyone! Apologies for the lack of updates, we've been organizing our marketing efforts and putting pressure on Kucoin to expedite the listing to coordinate with our marketing efforts. I've also followed up with other exchanges to make sure we have redundancy in event of any future lag on their part.

First, I would like to thank everyone who has donated to the initiative thus far and a massive thanks to 1block for the recent 28,000BBR donation! That will definitely help our efforts for the project! We need more of the major holders in this community to step up and start contributing large donations to fund project related initiatives. I've personally donated over 80% of my holdings to various project related initiatives along with my own time and resources so it makes sense for others passive investors to contribute as well since we will all end up profiting from it.

Second, we're starting another fundraising initiative to help compensate the cryptography team behind the upcoming Boolberry V2 whitepaper. They will also be doing a presentation on the paper at the upcoming Financial Cryptography and Data Security 2018 conference (http://fc18.ifca.ai/). For those unfamiliar with this conference it is the most prestigious cryptography event of the year co-produced by International Association for Cryptologic Research (www.IACR.org).

As mentioned in earlier posts, I've made sure to compensate everyone who has helped out on the project thus far and any help from the community to further those contributions will just create a longer lasting bond and loyalty to the project moving forward. In addition, we're also looking into sponsoring this event. If anyone is interested in helping out on this initiative please feel free to PM me. IMO, the upcoming whitepaper and respective code will be the difference between a $50 project and a $500+ project as there as very few projects in cryptospace with this level of academic contribution and the ones that have it are all within the top 20 market caps.

Lastly, we're in the middle of updating the Boolberry.com website to a refreshed version so you might experience some downtime trying to access the site. This is a coordinated move to support our marketing efforts which are well underway. For those unaware, Boolberry's first major mention in mainstream media has just gone live on inc.com!

Thanks all!

I'm curious about this as well.

I was super excited about the prospect of forking Boolberry (although I just started holding some a month or so ago) as it seems like all the improvements together would do more good than split projects.  However I am interested in being involved in both.

If when my time allows, I may be able to help.

Much thanks for your effort b4h4mu7

Glad to help! You have 100% consensus now lets do this!

All my coins have the poloniex , and now they can't get it out. If I can take it out, I can donate 50%, and that will be a big number, about 10000BBR

Cool. Wouldnt the reduced supply be beneficial in increasing the price? Less circulating supply plus more demand.

Hi,

Have you tried making post on their reddit page? It seems like the only place they will respond to any claims. I think we should start some kind of thread to get a total amount of BBR frozen on Poloniex then after we have a total count or close to one, proceed to hire legal team to pursue them to release funds and possibly damages for inconvenience caused by their actions.

Hi wenjiannin,

I've started a Boolberry claims thread for all victims in this community that have pain and suffering claims against Bittrex or Poloniex. Hopefully we can get a full accounting of the amount frozen and then move towards legal action against them to force them to release everyone's funds. There is no scenario where this situation is acceptable and there is also no shortage of law firms that would take up this case on contingency basis for a portion of the damages claim. Unlike the Mt Gox claim (https://www.mtgoxlegal.com/) both exchanges are still operational and have not declared bankruptcy yet.

1.- How do you know a master node has not been compromised? How do you know all masternode network has not been hacked?  PoW is the only solution to the Byzantine Generals' Problem. PoS is not a PoW, so it has an inherent risk. http://nakamotoinstitute.org/mempool/proof-that-proof-of-work-is-the-only-solution-to-the-byzantine-generals-problem/

2.- There are no ASICs for wildkeccack, and BBR has a well distributed hashingpower.

3.- The first and most succeful cryptocoin is pure PoW.

4.- Crytpcoin leaders in privacy vertical are pure PoW.

5.- Dash is not a cryptocurrency to imitate: its mixing system is horrifying, you need a course to temper it. And its does not garanted privacy because PoS cannot solve the  Byzantine Generals' Problem.

6.- The "availability of the coin supply" should be reduced by the quality of BBR, security of its blockchain and privacy must be the focus: "Privacy and Security - Guaranted".


So, what's the point in PoS for BBR?

Hi there!

1 - I'm not an advocate of masternodes in the traditional sense. As mentioned in my earlier post, Boolberry was designed from the ground up for privacy and efficiency so bolting some archaic coinjoin based system doesn't make sense from any angle. The theoretical remote "masternode" concept I spoke of is something that is possible across CN projects as the daemon and wallet are two separate processes. The main point for the latter would be compensation in the way of a convenience fee for running said nodes.

2 - Agreed

3 - Agreed

4 - Dash is still technically in the privacy vertical even though their coinjoin system is the technological equivalent of a horse and carriage in comparison to Boolberry.

5 - Agreed

6 - Agreed. This is why I said, "I personally prefer egalitarianism (any amount can stake) which would let everyone help secure the network by staking." over the masternode concept which requires 1000 coins to participate in securing the network.

Some believe Zoidberg is the original author of the Cryptonote protocol, so by that logic and his previous track record - anything he adds to the system should add some value to the protocol. Be that a failover in the event the coin eventually starts hitting the tail emission or a secondary layer in the event of network attack. If you look at Monero's solution to the former, they essentially have an infinite supply of coins.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/7nox43/is_it_good_that_monero_has_an_infinite_supply/

The system Zoidberg described is a hybrid PoW/PoS system, not a pure PoS system. I would take a hybrid system over an inflationary cryptocurrency any day of the week. If you notice he made some very strategic changes when Boolberry was launched and those changes have been able to minimize the block chain size by over 90% in comparison to Monero which was launched at the same time and mitigate temporal analysis attempts.

I would personally reserve judgement on the hybrid system until he announces it in detail.
