Hello Boolberry Community,
As stated in earlier posts, the primary motivation for us to hardfork to Doubloon was because of a complete lack of development or marketing efforts in the original BBR codebase. Like most of you here, I'm a BBR holder fed up with broken promises of renewed development. In the past, I sent 20,000BBR to Cryptozoidberg to restart development - a sum total greater than all other donations combined since the start of Boolberry. However, this didn't amount to anything at the time which led me to become more proactive in this community to prevent further loss of funds.
The abandonment of BBR has led the project to near death. We had no functional block explorer, no exchanges and no growth in the community. I'm happy to have been able to help resuscitate the project back to life along with the help of the community here. We now have one exchange listing with two more on the way. Through the help of the community both old and new proactive holders and to an extent an appreciation in value in Bitcoin, Boolberry now has reached new all time highs:
All that said, these metrics are most likely the motivating factor for Zoidberg to return to Boolberry. Because a few days ago he reached out to me to share his intentions of coming back to the project full-time with a slew of new updates to the codebase. I won't go into detail what these improvements are, as that announcement should be reserved for him. Our conversations over the last few days have been very productive and I will continue to support his efforts and the project. This is best time ever for him to return to Boolberry as we have a growing community, exchange listings and a lot of attention on the cryptocurrency space. As one of the original CN projects there's also a lot of upside to him returning.
I've personally spent a tremendous amount of time, energy and capital to reboot this project and get it listed on multiple exchanges (some still pending) so I have a vested interest in the success of this project. As Boolberry holders my team and I will continue to support Boolberry in any way we can. However, we also have a tremendous amount of resources invested in Doubloon, so our main focus will be on developing Doubloon into what we perceive to be the benchmark CN project.
As it now stands our plan for Doubloon will be to launch as a new project without any ties to Boolberry blockchain. Those here who are interested in our technology are more than welcome to join us on that adventure. I've created a ANN thread to divert that conversation there. In the event Zoidberg's return doesn't materialize we will revisit the idea of a Bitcoin/Bitcoin Cash type split to protect all those who've came into the community as a result of our efforts.

All in all, Zoidberg's return is a win for everyone here. We get active development from the original developer, new features (not related to Doubloon) and preserve the legacy of Boolberry. We also have a safety net in a possible BTC/BCH type split in the event it doesn't happen. It's a win on every level. I will continue to hold strong and see how things develop. I have high hopes for the future of this project.
Thanks all!

Thanks for the update! You said, there will be no connection between boolberry and doubloon, thus there won't be a coin swap, correct?
