More info about current development and plans would be nice!

But, the block-reward reduce is well designed ... and should not be changed in any way ... the ones who dump now, would just dump more, that makes no sense.
About the price ... i dont fear low prices, let big mines with rented servers dump to pay their bills ... means cheep coins for all who want some more shares :-)
The price will grow with coin development progress and new investors, not cause of higher block rewards ...

Any new blog post planned?

If it's ok to come with topic suggestions, I'd like to read more about the ASIC resistance of Burst

Changing the block reward would be unfair to anyone who made decisions based on the stated supply and distribution schedule. Nothing is perfectly distributed, but I don't really see it being that bad. Excluding the stuff we can't tell apart sitting in exchanges, the next highest address has a little over 2%. I don't see adding more coins which will probably just end up flooding the market being a solution for anything. Theres a lot of things I would have done differently in retrospect but I don't think block reward is one of them.

The next update or 2 will be some long overdue extra account security features. There will be the ability to authorize another account to spend from an account with spending limits(amount time)(allow access to your funds while keeping the account its in cold stored or other ), and accounts will be able to be set up for multisig. The authorized spending backend stuff is all done and has been tested successfully on a testnet, but has no user interface yet. Multisig is still in progress. I haven't decided whether those will be released separate or grouped together.
Afterwards AT interfaces will become a priority, and I also plan to do a bit of block header restructuring some time soon(header only validation cannot currently be done, but could be with some restructuring)


None of the PoC2 attempts have worked out well in practice unfortunately. Plotting ends up being horribly slow(much worse than PoC1) and large gains can be had by shaving bits off and brute forcing them with gpus. PoC2 is now on hold until a better solution is found.

I am glad u are still around for development. Any progress is good progress.

New updates coming and pump is inevitable ... .

A bigger block reward, increases the rate of inflation, reduces the value!

What we need is more ways to spend burstcoin, building out a burstcoin economy.
I want to spend my burstcoin on lot of things, not have exchange it and then spend it.

A good thing to fix would be Burst's built in market place, why do I need to know a seller store id
why can't we just browse the listings? I've read it's designed to stop spam, but why not just charge
a fee of listing items.

Small hash rate reduces the coin value to 0, that's why you need to get incentive to miners. Miners mining it actually increases coin value. The cost of this is inflation, of course, but the alternative is 51% attack and death. So, you can see that inflation will actually be good for holders. Better to own less than nothing.

But I really wish that some of these big holders would post here. Let's see what they have to say. Do they want to give incentive to miners or not?

I'm sure I would not qualify as a big holder of coins with only a few million but there is really no point of increasing incentive for miners if there is nothing you can do with the coin besides speculate on some assets.  There needs to be places to use this coin as others have mentioned above, without utility it is going nowhere.  It is frustrating to hear there is no progress on a Poc2 solution as other competing solutions like SIA coin, maidsafe, storj will soon make Burst a thing of the past if it cannot get beyond this hurdle on making use of the hard drive space.

 Some type of recurring revenue stream is needed to fund marketing efforts.

bin laden, there's no interest in your proposals and the coin should not change from what was published and released.
besides, large holder you are not.  you dump it.  a large miner you are (if you are infact who controls binladen burst address).  so be honest about your nature and don't pretend; don't patronize others, or talk down to people. 

furthermore, nothing nor anyone is stopping you from taking the codebase modifying it to your desire and starting your own version. 
but you really don't want to do that, do you?  you want all the benefits of having all of the existing miners as long as they just do what you want.

you are not here for the long term and I will wait you out.

instead, you could concentrate on spreading the word and getting more people involved.

For ex. since you were badgering some devs about their miners, why don't you go and attend the upcoming hackaton hosted at UBS Level 39 Crypto Lab.  NXT blockchain 2.0 API will be used, which can be used with burst blockchain too.  Why don't you show your coding prowess and do something good for Burst?

What's that? you won't do that either, will you... ?  you are a wankster

if you went away in the next moment, no one would care or notice your departure.  that's the truth of your essence.
