Doubloon is a groundbreaking cryptocurrency research project that has pioneered many new improvements not present in any other project. The main highlights of our research efforts include a brand new Egalitarian mining algorithm called Itsuku along with pioneering our new trustless zero knowledge system.

This is a PRE-ANN to inform the general cryptocurrency community of our work here and how to get involved with testing cycles as well as the upcoming launch of Doubloon.


Doubloon is the result of over seven months of research and development. We intially started this project as a comunity effort towards a planned hardfork upgrade to Boolberry because the developer abdandoned that project. When we revealed our ANN our efforts have motivated the original developer to return to work on BBR. We also paired up with another team of researchers to pioneer a new zero knowledge protocol which will be the first of its kind. As holders of Boolberry we will continue to support that project during this interim period, although, our main focus will be on Doubloon. The timeline below displays the original path for the project:

https://i.imgur.com/blHglq9.png

Doubloon is a brand new privacy protocol and will be the first trustless zero knowledge cryptocurrency. Our research team is compromised of leading professors from universities around the world and our development team is compromised of veteran PhD and MSc level contributors. Our goal here is to establish a new benchmark for research and development within the cryptocurrency privacy vertical.

Doubloon will be fairly launched with no ICO. We'll be implementing a reasonable premine for research, development and marketing fund and utilizing a mining tax for ongoing project related funding. In addition will be providing an optional in-wallet donation address that will go towards the i2pd team for those that would like to contribute to their efforts towards improving the router. At the moment, our team is working is on a private repository while we refine the project until its ready for public testing.

In the near future, we will be releasing a public testnet for the mining algorithm followed by a public testnet for the rest of the codebase. After the code has been thoroughly tested, we'll announce our launch date which is currently planned for Q1 2018.




We initially brought Professor Fabien Coelho on board to peer review the Cryptonight and Wild Keccak algorithms to see if they could be improved upon which also led us to review other promising algorithms as candidates to replace WK. We discovered the Merkle Tree Proof-Argon2, or MTP-Argon2, algorithm designed by Biryukov et al. of Equihash and Zcash fame. Biryukov and Khovratovich designed the Equihash algorithm in use by Zcash. Their latest design MTP-Argon2, or Mekle Tree Proof, was designed as a successor to Equihash with the primary function of providing an Egalitarian mining solution.

Professor Coelho reviewed this algorithm and redesigned it to be hardened against all known attack vectors along with optimized proof sizes, which is known as Itsuku. The new algorithm has 1/16th proof size of the original MTP-Argon2 design. Our research into designing and peer reviewing this algorithm has been shared with the ZCoin team as part of their bounty program as an attempt to unify and peer review the design. Marc Bevand research has also been crucial in helping improve the design.

One of the primary benefits of Itsuku is that the miners bear the resources burden while verifiers do not. This is a true egalitarian mining algorithm and unlike the current CN mining algorithms, one that has seen a substantial amount of active research and peer review from within the academic community. Initial spec is 2GB but in any case, even with 64GB of RAM there won't be much speedup, since the limiting factor is bandwidth and not space.

Dr. Coehlo is a professor of Computer Science at the prestigious MINES ParisTech, PSL Research University. His research into Merkle Tree Proofs and Proof-of-work algorithms dates back to 2007 before Bitcoin was launched. It goes without saying he is a true pioneer and leader in this field.

Arnaud Larroche and Baptiste Colin are two of Fabien's students at MINES ParisTech. They've written a Python implementation of the algorthm.

As stated earlier, our C++ implementation will be made public in the near future for testing along with a GPU miner contest we’ll be holding to make sure everyone has access to the same competitive mining tools.

In an effort to provide transmission privacy, we’ve integrated the i2pd router into the new codebase with advisement from the i2p team. 1776, the developer spearheading this effort has made a massive amount of progress in this area of the project and we will have a i2p design available at launch. He has a ton of experience in this area and has brought that into this project for peace of mind. In the future he will be submitting an improvement proposal to i2p team to increase efficiency.


A project can have the best technology but if it's not user friendly then it will be harder for less technical end users to adopt it. Keeping this in mind our designers have crafted a beautiful GUI wallet that includes features such as an address book, in-wallet explorer and mining. We will also be following up with mobile applications but they may not be ready at launch.

All in all, our efforts here will culminate into a new zero knowledge privacy protocol along with new egalitarian mining algorithm.

Our public testing for Itusku will be announced very soon so stayed tuned to this thread for updates. We invite everyone in the cryptocurrency community  to join us on this adventure as we pioneer the future of financial privacy.

This looks amazing, so much documentation at such an early stage. Really excited to see where you take this. Privacy coins are the future.

Really excited to see this take off. Especially with so much background research shown before release.

Watching patiently. Please get in touch with us with info once it all start smoothly.. We will be happy to help you with our resources.

Thank you all for the kind words about our efforts here. As stated in the OP our original path was planned as a fork upgrade from Boolberry to Doubloon. We posted an ANN on the Boolberry thread about our intentions to launch as a separate project due to the possibility of the original developer Zoidberg returning after a two years absence from active development. We've received an overwhelming amount of support from the Boolberry community through the forums, emails and PMs who have voiced their concerns about us abandoning them. So with this in mind we will be continuing with our original direction and commitment of an eventual hardfork to Doubloon sometime in Q1 2018.

Over the last 7 months when we started this endeavor we've compensated all of our researchers, developers and designers in Boolberry since we originally planned to upgrade to Doubloon due to lack of development in Boolberry. As everyone here can probably understand it creates a unique situation for everyone involved here as our prior commitment was to the Boolberry community.

For those that would like to participate in the fork you are more than welcome to mine/acquire Boolberry or wait until our network is launched to mine/acquire Doubloon. The final specs of this will be released at a later date but in layman's terms it would be executed in a similar fashion to Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash split where the Boolberry network will go in its own direction when the Doubloon network is born.

Thanks all and again apologies for the initial confusion with the ANN as this is a real conundrum us. I've updated the ANN to reflect this change.

I will support on social media with our infrastructure

Good afternoon.
I offer the services to the manager's bounty.
All details can be discussed in PM.

All interesting stuff, looks like there is real momentum on the project. Congrats and way to keep this coin alive :D Any word on an exchange that's going to be trading BBR soon other than Stocks.exchange? I'd like to try and buy some BBR pre fork if all possible. I had some BBR pre delisting from Bittrex but sold because I couldn't get the wallet to work. I'm not that tech savvy. I'm am a holder of other privacy coins, I think privacy proves to be the most value long term in this space.

There is already a coin named Doubloons but it has the prefix BOAT so not sure if you are aware of that name already in use for a coin or not ;)

same question, is this coin new or old one with algo-changed?

Can't be the same coin the ticker isn't BOAT for this one and I don't ready anything that refers to the other Doubloon coin.

Wallet style like Intensecoin
 

Hi there,

All valid questions that were brought up in the Boolberry thread. Let me clarify them for you:

[1]

Doubloon[BOAT] has renamed to BOAT[BOAT] this is reflected on coinmarketcap.com. That said, the developer of that project has abandoned it and the community is attempting some kind of reboot under the BOAT brand. Since they don't have moderation powers the name of the thread still shows Doubloons[BOAT].
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1776066.msg24626351#msg24626351

The developer of that project used the Doubloon name without permission from the original Doubloon[DBL] developer. We on the other hand, acquired the naming rights (out of respect for their prior claim), from the original dev hence why we have control of the 4 years old subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/doubloon/). He's also changed the header of the Github for the original Doubloon[DBL] project (https://github.com/RazorLove/doubloons), which was abandoned 4 years ago, to display "These aren't the Doubloons you're looking for" then points to our subreddit.

Despite abandoning the project he still has naming rights claim to it. This is how things work in the cryptocurrency space since we are an unregulated decentralized market we need to operate in a manner that respects the prior work of others regardless of how trivial their contribution to the overall advancement of the space.

Moving forward, there will be no naming confusion or ticker confusion as there is only one Doubloon now and it will have the ticker [XDB] upon launch. Neither of the other projects had any media presence anyways so there is no footprint or overlap there to be concerned about. I hope this helps clear everything up!

[2]

This project is a planned fork of the Boolberry project scheduled for launch in Q1 2018. It has nothing in common with either of the previous Doubloon projects. The mining algo is called Itsuku and will be the first C++ implementation of this design to be released to the public. For more information please visit the OP under the "Itsuku" section.

Thanks!

Hello b4h4mu7, I would like to ask when BBR can be on the trading platform? What's the latest solution to my BBR package update? I'm very concerned about your XDB project, and I'll follow it all the time. The last question, will BBR be perished?

Thanks for the kind words. The delisting of Boolberry from Poloniex and Bittrex was a big hit for our efforts. Given the fact that our team has been compensated in BBR it created a serious issue of liquidity in the event they needed to pay any bills. We went on nearly 3 months without an exchange before stocks.exchange listed it about a week ago. It ended up being a real test of loyalty to everyone involved but the whole team stuck together during this rough period to execute the vision.

We have two other exchanges in the works adding BBR. Cryptochangex.com and Kucoin.com and we are in talks with a couple more.


Hi wenjiannin,

BBR will not perish, it will just continue to go down its current path. If Zoidberg returns then that will be a positive for BBR. Regardless of its current direction, after XDB network is launched it will follow its own path. Either way we will continue to support both projects but our main focus is getting Doubloon launched.

Thanks


Thank you for your support. I know we had our differences in the past on how you handled the first attempt to reboot BBR, but moving forward I'd like to publicy squash all that.



Hello,

Thank you for the interest. All bounties will be paid in BBR. I will update the ANN with a bounty section as soon as I can.

Thank you for clarification, i'll mine some when you release the binary. Good luck dev and your project!

where speciation coin dev
not open plan ico selling, any bounty or airdrop

no exchange to buy from, yet?

Thanks.

Guy, what are you thinking to say that or you're just a bot? This coin even hasn't launched yet, where is the coins to exchange?  ::)

I just got directed here from an Intensecoin post. And I'm glad I did :) I want to mine this, fo sho. Can't wait for that young beta wallet!

Not a bot, unsure whether to purchase Boolberry to exchange for Doubloon but it doesn't look like there will be any swap. Ok, i guess ICO is out of the question?   ::)

Thank you for the update of the exchanges, I'll check back here often and am looking forward to backing all of your efforts. Loving the clear direction and momentum.

Hard fork...stuff ICO...far too many of them.

Cheers Jon  8)

Thanks for the reply and info. Will try to mine (through a VPS) but I don't have the hardware. Cheers  :)

Nice project. Ready to pour in some hash power.

Hi, b4h4mu7!
will there be a test network? On which exchanges are you going to exit? as I understand there will be 3 exchanges: stocks.exchange, kucoin,  Cryptochangex.com
and there are a couple of things that would be great:
1) Carry out a test for the most popular GPUs and give an approximate hasht in the cap
2) Make a calculator (after entering the stock exchanges), a calculator that takes into account the current capacity of the network, as it is implemented on Boolberry pools.

Venga chicos nos vemos

Hello ! When can we begining?

When and where can I download the wallet?

I can also do some translation work into Finnish if needed..

Hi everyone,

To clear up any confusion here about Doubloon and it's current path for launch:

Doubloon is a planned hardfork upgrade of Boolberry scheduled for a Q1 2018 release. When the Doubloon network is launched it will continue in a separate direction from the Boolberry network but you will have both coins BBR and XDB if you hold BBR prior to the event. If the original developer of BBR ever decides to come back to work there, then your BBR will be an added bonus. This concept will work in the same manner as the Bitcoin and Bitcoin cash split.

This is a PRE-ANN to inform the general community about our efforts here and how to participate in the upcoming event. After successful public testing of the mining algorithm we will have a clear picture of when exactly this event will happen. Deadlines in software development can only be achieved with thorough testing. This PRE-ANN is here to inform you of our work here and how to get involved with testing cycles as well as prevent confusion between the upcoming launch of Doubloon and the current Boolberry network.

We planned this project 7 months ago as an upgrade for Boolberry codebase because it didn't have any active development from the original author. Instead of focusing on fixing one area of the project we decided to overhaul the entire system. There is some chance the original author, Cryptozoidberg, may come back to work on BBR but due to overwhelming support from the Boolberry community for us to stick with our fork plans we will continue down the original path instead of launching this as a new currency.

That said, for those that would like to participate in this event they may acquire Boolberry through either mining or trading on an exchange that supports Boolberry. At the moment, stocks.exchange is the only exchange that supports Boolberry. Kucoin.com and Cryptochangex.com are in the process of adding BBR pairings and we are in talks with a few more about adding listings.

For those that are unaware, Boolberry was delisted from Poloniex and Boolberry without explanation earlier this year. We are only now recovering with exchange listings and active trading.

Olá pessoal,

Este POST é para esclarecer qualquer confusão sobre a Doubloon e o atual planejamento para seu lançamento:

Doubloon é um HarkFork planejado de atualização da Boolberry agendado para ser realizado/lançado no primeiro quadrimestre de 2018. Quando a rede da Doubloon estiver operacional ela será independente da rede Boolberry, porém irá suportar as duas moedas, caso você já tenha BBT antes da realização do HardFork. Se o desenvolvedor original da BBR em algum momento decidir juntar-se a este projeto, então a BBR será adicionada como um bônus. Isto se dará da mesma forma como ocorreu com o Bitcoin e Bitcoin Cash.

Este é um Pré-Anúncio para informar de forma geral à comunidade sobre nossos esforços e como participar deste evento que está por vir. Após um teste público com sucesso do novo Algorítimo de mineração teremos um panorama claro de quando exatamente o HardFork irá ocorrer. Prazos limite/fatais do desenvolvimento do software ocorrerão/serão apresentado durante os testes. Este Pré-Anúncio está aqui para lhe informar sobre nosso trabalho e como se envolver nos ciclos de teste, bem como para prevenir confusão entre a futura rede Doubloon e a atual rede da Boolberry.

Planejamos este projeto há 7 meses como uma atualização do código base da Boolberry pois ela não tem mais um desenvolvimento ativo do seu autor original. Ainda que o foco fosse corrigir uma área do projeto, decidimos utilizar todo o sistema. Porém, como ainda há alguma chance do autor original, Cryptozoidberg, querer em algum momento voltar a trabalhar na BBR devido ao suporte amplo que há da comunidade Boolberry, vamos desistir do  plano original e lançar uma nova moeda.

Isto posto, quem quiser participar deste projeto deve adquirir Boolberry, seja por mineração ou comprando nas exchanges a suportam. Neste momento apenas a stocks.exchange suporta Boolberry. Kucoin.com e Cryptochangex.com então em processo de adição de pares de troca de BBR e estamos conversando com outras para listá-la também.

Para os que não sabem, a Booberry foi deslistada da Poloniex sem nenhuma explicação prévia no começo deste ano. Agora estamos recuperando a listagem e trade com as exchanges.

Please please kept Wild Keccak as the algo. z-cash algo sucks big time. Cryptonote Devolved
                                                                            EDIT:MTP-Argon2*

And another fork!

Thanks for the translation! PM your BBR address and I'll send you coin for your efforts.


Hi tbearhere,

Thank you for your valued feedback! Itsuku is not the Zcash algorithm, that would be Equihash. Itusku is loosely based on the "MTP-Argon2" design from the authors of the Zcash algorithm, Equihash. I hope this helps clear up any confusion there. For more information on the algorithm please visit the publication https://eprint.iacr.org/2017/1168

That doesn't negate the fact that Wild Keccak is the best algo!

I do appreciate your feedback! I would only request that you reserve your judgement on the new algo after you've tested it. We've spent a tremendous amount of time on it so it doesn't make sense to dismiss it before its in public testing phase.

Also, if you can please keep Doubloon related feedback in this thread so we don't clutter up the Boolberry thread.

Thanks!

I've been mining for 5 years.... to get the efficiency of my cards on that NEW algo will cost me all my mining equipment!
I will never get the efficiency as I get on wildkeccak.
Change the logo... name... ticker.. but not the algo.
Thx

Yes Cryptonote or Cryptonight algo ..would be excellent. :) Even Crypto-light.

sounds like something really cool :D do you have a discord one can join and chat with others that are interested and just hang out ^^? would be cool!

I think B4H4 is setting up a riot account which is similar to slack.

The project sounds pretty good. But I have no spare fund to get involved in an ICO. Good luck for you guys.:=-)

no ico man

Finally something of my interest.

Count me in!

seams very interesting will probably buy a few just incase ^^

tyvm sir

Your welcome and there is ccminer-x64-2.2.2-cuda8.0 and  ccminer-x64-2.2.3 :)

https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases/download/2.2.2-tpruvot/ccminer-x64-2.2.2-cuda7.5.7z  it is right?  still 740k each 750ti now

stock core and mem and 381.65 driver
ccminer -q -a wildkeccak -o stratum+tcp://bbr.miningclub.info:7777 -u 1CvHnt7dT94EsV5u9cESUEFDKcSDRsSJw294XjEnV3taAi4vkzukn7sNBu1jG6k5kF27odtRW4LvZ6K 3HKzMntM24Ayq78P -p x -k http://bbr.miningclub.info/scratchpad.bin -l 60x256

Thanks! We've spent seven months refining this algorithm into something that is truly unique amongst a sea of clones. Wild Keccak is also unique in this regard, although, this is one of the few algorithms that has seen a considerable amount of peer review from within the academic community. We're not going to just throw it out because of a guesstimation in hash efficiency for older cards..

Saraga, the dev handling the implementation, just finished the final spec integration this week and is busy refining it. As soon as all the devs are comfortable with the state of Itsuku, we'll be releasing it for public testing. This might be in a day or two at the earliest, so keep an eye out on this thread for an announcement!

Dev,

Below are the question I would like to confirm and decide if it's fair to be here and support this coin.

1) As this is new coin as it has new ticker will this start afresh or just a hard fork with only option to mine from last block of boolberry.

2) You say you have worked 7 months and overhauled the complete structure. will it give benefit to new members on new cryptonight algo apart from what boolberry used to provide.

Yes that's the one.
I'm on old 7570 2016 drivers if that matters .. but it depends on your cpu and OC and type of card. Most of my cards get 750kh but 2 get 920kh.

ccminer-x64-2.2.2-cuda7.5.exe -a wildkeccak  -t 2 -l 60x512  on 2 cards  -t 6 on 6 cards.  Sorry I have to post the OC not the true clocks... 1345 core of course but up to +700 mem if it doesn't crash if so +600 is better.

EDIT: 1,650mhz on memory.

Is this masternode coin?

Guesstimation.. What?...

Is it still at testnet phase?  ???

What is the total supply of Doubloon? Thanks.

HOW TO MINING?

While I appreciate all your feedback, my point is that we haven't even begun Itsuku public testing and you're asking us not to use it.. It doesn't really make a lot of sense given all the work we've put into it. Try the algorithm and see what your hashrate is before passing judgement on it. Technology will always move forward, the solution is to adapt to it. We want as many different cards testing the algo so we can compile all the results. That said, this project will go in a different direction than BBR once the network is online so you'll always have the option of mining WK.

Thanks! We just created a riot channel to get ready for public testing. Everyone is more than welcome to join us there. We'll have a bridge up soon to connect to other communication channels.

https://riot.im/app/#/room/#doubloon:matrix.org

Why do we not use Discord ?

riot.im is the hub and with bridges we'll be able to connect to other communication channels i.e. discord, telegram etc.

https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge

I'm a little confused, what's the relation between XDB and BoolBerry?

Boolberry is going to do a hard fork and then XDB will be created just like Bitcoin and bitcoin cash did this year.

Subscribed. Might be the project I've been looking for.

Add your Crypto Coin/ Token to Coinscontrol.com - Future Crypto Coin Exchange and Trading Platform

You can't yet... it has not been released yet.

Ok :) But I believe you don't understand ...it will be new technology made for newer cards.... that simple before I even see it. Guaranteed.
Unless it is made to have the same hashrate on all and any card low end or high end high priced or low priced.
Even then it will put me in the dust.
Ps How long before its release b4h4mu7 ?
Thx :)

Greetings everyone,

We will no longer be hardforking Boolberry. We will be fairly launching as a separate currency with a small pre-mine for research, development and marketing along with a small mining tax to support on going project related endeavors.

We will also be pivoting to a new zero knowledge system developed by our researchers. This new system will require us to forgo ring signatures and stealth addresses. Since we won't be using our ShortRingCCT research, we're planning on migrating that it into Boolberry, so if you're interested in that head over to the BBR thread and join the community.

BBR Thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=577267.0

Itsuku will be reserved for Doubloon along with our new zero knowledge system and our i2pd integration.

Sorry for all the confusion here but this was a recent development in the project direction and we decided it was best to bring our prior work on ShortRingCCT to make Boolberry a stronger competitor in the privacy vertical now that the original developer is back on the project full time. I've updated the ANN to reflect the pivot in direction for the project.

We believe this is the best direction for our project's integrity as all coins will be mined through Itsuku rather than generated through a hardfork.

Thanks all!

So how can I get XDB?

hello,

it looks great project. Can you tell me the maximum XDB supply and in wich we can trade in futur

thanks

I like

Is the only way to get Doubloon is to hold Boolberry or POW mine Doublooon at launch?

Nope. Doubloon will be a new coin, because hardfork there will not be

rly? hard fork cancelled?

Only way to get Doubloon is to mine or is their Airdrop?

Hi everyone, please read my announcements thoroughly.. some are asking questions when the answer is right above them..

I stated our ShortRingCCT research and other improvements will be merged into Boolberry along with the original developer's planned features. There is no need for a hardfork since that project will get the best from both projects making it a better unified project than 1 chain going in two directions.

Our project, Doubloon will be pivoting away from ring signature based privacy towards a new zk system developed by our team. Doubloon [XDB] will be faily launched sometime in Q1 2018 as a new coin.

This is the PRE-ANN to inform everyone of the project. If you want to stay in the loop, join the rest of the community on one of the communication channels below.

@b4h4mu7  thank you for the good news. Good luck with the new coin.  :)
I'll will be keeping an eye on it..will see what my old cards will do if applicable.

Glad to ear this.
A new coin, new project, new blockchain, starting with low diff.
Great choice guys. Waiting to mine and spread to the world about this amazing project.

Cheers

Whether Doubloon will be ICO?If ICO, I can  investment 500ETH

No ICO, but you can help project. contact to dev https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=898973 , I think you can find a common language

If ICO is issued, the conservative estimate can raise 10000-20000eth

Please don't do an ICO. Too many of those. Not enough serious projects.

Agree. This is a great project with a great potential. Now the ICO´s are seem as scam, and keep out the real good investors (miners, enthusiasts and a loyal community). IMO the XDB have a great future and can aggregate a serious community with a real interest in keep and support it.

ICO's are just so yesterday......... ICO....Instant Cash Out

Cheers Jon  ;D

Sorry, I misunderstand it.. :D

How can I get Doubloon?

You can mine it once it's available to mine, or purchase it once it hits the open market.

when will lauch XDB cannt wait for mining this great project ,

Q1 2018 according to the ANN.

Reserved

Glad to hear this will be a totally new coin  :)

Any airdrop plans now?

Any news? When date of relise?

More info appreciated  ;)

Any word on the development of Doubloon and when the mining will start taking place? When do you think this coin will launch?

Any word on the development of Doubloon and when the mining will start taking place? When do you think this coin will launch?

Hope to release the roadmap of Doubloon.

This sounds interesting!

Will itsuku be possible to mine with a CPU?

Looking forward to this project!

Whats the project launch ETA?

Yes, Itsuku seems to be CPU/GPU oriented

Finding schemes for which ASIC or FPGA hardware implementations do not show an undue advantage over CPU or GPU software implementations is key to avoid the kind of mining power concentration that has occurred with Bitcoin.

Here is the whitepaper, expected CPU/GPU performances are on page nr.15

https://eprint.iacr.org/2017/1168.pdf

That is awesome! I will be following this closely then :-)
And thank you for the link!

Project looks pretty ambitious. Hopefully I don't miss the launch.
Looking forward to testing the new algo for mining.
Good luck devs.

Looks good to me. Will follow this closely.

I know you guys may have already answered this, but from what I am understanding, Doubloon is not going to be air dropped and instead will be a standalone currency alongside BBR? I keep reading posts that say that the hardfork was cancelled and that Doubloon will be released as a standalone in Q1 2018 for mining and buying. Also, where is the best place to be first in the know when we can start buying and mining?

here is the best place I imagine. also their chat is active.
I have been logging to check on status. first quarter is a whole 3 month period maybe sooner.

sounds like interesting project, looking forward for network start

Nice..I read about the hashing algo and now they most definitely have my attention. :)

@ b4h4mu7  Nice..I read about the hashing algo and now they most definitely have my attention. :)

I was thinking this would be the best place too. I wonder, however, where we might buy this? Perhaps Kucoin?

When can we go online?

I think we are all still patiently waiting for the dev's to post some news on that.
Q1 is till young  ;)

Nice project. Can't wait for several month, hope to buy Doubloon(XDB) the next week.

Is there any schedule for Doubloon(XDB) ? Need some network test? I can help to test network. By the way, I am a software engineer, with ten years experiences of SW dev.

Roadmap looks impressive, and the way launch is being prepared is attracting. Waiting to put my rig to it

hopefully this project has a mission and a good vision for in a the future and always giving development with good. all details this project still coming soon and everyone in here waiting more next information about this project including me. good luck

good project.
I wonder how you will develop your new coin, I will follow your news. I think you will succeed

"Doubloon is a groundbreaking cryptocurrency research project that has pioneered many new improvements not present in any other project. The main highlights of our research efforts include a brand new Egalitarian mining algorithm called Itsuku along with pioneering our new trustless zero knowledge system."

Great project! I am here waiting project launching!

This looks interesting. I am also waiting

"Financial Privacy" sounds good! :)
Curious to see more! :)

Looks promising!

Dev, any updates? Just wanted to see what the progress is so far. Last update was 24th December.

The project look promising, i'll reserve for indonesian translation
and what about release date?

I'll reserve Turkish translation, good luck!

It`s almost a month since last update  ???

dead ???

Hi everyone!

Apologies for the inactivity. I've been doing a bit of traveling for the holidays. We're working towards an update so stay tuned to the thread here. We're in the middle of a pivot towards a new technology and also porting our prior work on ring signatures into Boolberry. If you're interested in that head over to the Boolberry thread. In the meantime, we'll be working towards the public testing of the new system.

Join us on Discord, Riot, IRC or Telegram to stay informed of latest project developments.

Cheers!

Good news, waiting when we can start to mine your currency, i think this will be nice project

Good news with the update - looking forward to seeing more. In the meantime, i'll go check out the Boolberry thread to get some more info :)

I know My reservation is worthy

Glad to hear that you are still planning for this to be released soon! I have joined the Discord now and will be following your updates on both platforms :-)

Cryptonote Evolved? This project must be followed then. I bet in its future seeing cryptonote is great base for great coins.

Project sure looks interesting. Will be waiting for more updates from the developers! :)

most interesting in it the fact there no updates for 2 month

yeah it's been very silent... any live signals from devs?

Gotta say it looks interesting but there has been no action for a long time now, dev is busy with another project.

Where did you get this info?
What project?

The dev said he was traveling and therefore couldn't update as much as he would have liked. This project is still underway, but in the crypto world, even a week feels like an eternity.

Yes, the world of cryptography is improving all the time, and if you don't keep an eye on it, you're going to get out of it, and of course the completion of a project has to go through a long period of time.

In regards to Doubloon[BOAT] you might want to check out their website http://doubloonboat.com/ , they seem to call their currency Doubloons and have the word Doubloons all around their website, II can see this causing massive confusion later. Also if you need a spanish translator, i'm your guy :)

"...first trustless zero knowledge cryptocurrency". This claim seems a bit false unless im misunderstanding something about your project. There are quite a few coins out there using some form of zero coin protocol. Could you explain why you claim to be the first?

Is it really a dead project????

I don't think this is a dead project but I do think the dev is stretched with two big projects and this is making everyone a little cynical.

thats frustrating.
a very perspective project left behind :(

"Gotta say it looks interesting but there has been no action for a long time now, dev is busy with another project."

So this project can be launched this year?

Would be great a little update on the status of the project

The dev is a frequent on the BBR thread so I doubt he isn't looking at this one too.

It's disappointing that the Dev team isn't keeping both threads current.  I'd love to know about any updates to this project that may have recently been made.  I truly hope this isn't a dead project!

Is there going to be an update from the dev soon? Many miners are really interested in this project but with lack of communication, I fear that interest will wane and many miners will choose another project which will ultimately harm XDB and its chances for mass adoption.

Hi there. Apologies all for the lack of communication here. I had a prior obligation to the Boolberry community to ensure a smooth transition for the original developer and his team to return to the project. We also have a 25+ page research paper we've been peer reviewing before publication that covers the new ring signature scheme that will be implemented in Boolberry (very exciting stuff something that will position it as a leader for ring based privacy). On top of that we've been writing the final code related to that paper to get it turn key for use in Boolberry. In addition, I've been traveling which has made things even more difficult to manage meanwhile trying to manage exchange listings for that community.. As anyone can imagine its hard to do all that and focus on two projects.

All that said, starting this week my focus will be 100% on Doubloon. While I've been preoccupied with Boolberry our team here has been working on the project. We've made improvements to the mining algorithm and pour transactions. Our next steps will be to integrate all moving parts i.e. minting, ledger and trustless key generation etc. As soon as I'm settled and our new website is up we'll release a roadmap to give everyone a clear overview.

Thank you everyone for your interest in Doubloon!

That's great news. Looking forward to get some Doubloons soon.

Thanks ninja! Good to see you around!

When will Doubloon be purchased on an exchange? Is there going to be any pre-mining?

Mine it.

Sounds like a nice project!!

Welcome. Thanks for the kind words. We're still in the very early stages of this project's life cycle. In December we made a decision to pivot to a new protocol so bear with us while we pioneer the future of private digital transactions.

Make ico, or youll have no money for listing.
Do you want to ask money from community for exchange, like in your bbr?

sounds like a death row

Hi proride,

Boolberry is not "my" project. I'm a proactive holder there and our R&D group, Chainmasons, is contributing to that project in form of advanced ring and multi-signature research as well as a comparative performance analysis vs Monero. As mentioned in an earlier post, that technology was original planned for Doubloon but since we pivoted this project towards a fully zero knowledge system we won't be using it anymore.

As far as exchanges go there, I covered all listings so far with my own coin and our team made necessary API improvements required for listing on certain exchange who've yet to follow through with their side of the arrangement. I asked the community there to chip in for the Kucoin listing since they will also benefit from Boolberry being back on relatively high volume exchange.

I'm personally not a fan of ICOs. Maybe I'm just "old school" but I believe that the market should decide the price of an asset not a developer or group of founders. This is why we're choosing to launch this project traditionally with small pre-mine/mining tax that will cover any future costs i.e. new hires, listing fees, bounties etc.. Then once the coin hits the exchanges the markets can decide its worth. This is the free market principal vs the principal of price fixing an asset before the market has chance to decide its value. In most cases of ICOs the asset only sustains above ICO value for a short period until the market decides that an asset without working product is effectively worth less than the ask. Here we are working on real research with a new mining algorithm, new zero knowledge privacy protocol with trustless key generation, not some photoshop design asking for millions.

That said, if the community really wants a portion of the pre-mine to be an ICO we would need to lay out the entire system here and let general consensus along with market research decide what the value would be rather than just myself or our team.

your words make a lot of sence, but IMO nowadays the market is not free, crypto space was free a year ago or probably even earlien. Nowadays it`s driving by capitals, so if you want to make a good project, you should have been backed-up by  some capital OR really breakthought idea with a strong marketing, but not only new mining algo with zero knowledge privacy.
Just an opinion...

Interesting one! Will be watching closely! I would be interested in beta test it, PM me if interested.

Kuckoi when??
:^)
any news?

Are people mining this?

https://i.imgur.com/1pz9FsOh.jpg

Apparently, this is something else, as this project hasn't begun yet and the acronym is different (XDB vs BOAT).

Yes I see. There was a discussion on the XDB thread that I forgot. :P

Any progress on XDB? first quarter 2018 is up.

Is it a dead project?

How long before the launch plz.  :)

Looks like project is dead. Was really looking forward to this one.

I think BBR parted ways with this project a long while ago. Zoidberg is currently working on another project - Zano if you are interested in that. There are also many other CryptoNote forks to choose from like aeon and Masari. If you are looking to diversify, pick your poison.  :)

https://s2.gifyu.com/images/Txbit.io.gif (https://preproduction.txbit.io/?r=4c0)

let´s go to new exchange Txbit.io  :)

https://medium.com/@txbit/12-reasons-why-txbit-io-differs-from-other-altcoin-exchanges-8c87a54aa8ad

 https://s2.gifyu.com/images/Txbit.io.gif (https://preproduction.txbit.io/?r=4c0)

It's a shame this never came to fruition, but thankfully they came through with Zano (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5090272.0). It seems to be as worthy of the slogan "Cryptonote Evolved" as this might have been.
