We need to address the exchanges, at least 20% of Boolberry is sitting on the order books at Poloniex. Meaning quite a bit more is stored there. We consider that part of a multi-pronged problem:

I am aware of several BBR holders that own a significant portion of the float and may present delays in the exchange rate rising to respectable heights. I need to make it clear what valuation the Blockchain Development Company sees in Boolberry: a $50,000,000 market cap.

We will be addressing: utility, and scarcity. Right now, Boolberry has neither, and its utility decreases daily as the blockchain grows and sits in RAM, and its scarcity is low because over 20% of the float is sitting on exchange order books in the form of limit orders, partially because prior holders are looking for an exit.

We will be diving more into this with our policy and roadmap document, but I need everyone to understand what we are aiming for here. tl;dr: HODL

The 4GB RAM can be limiting, give it a shot. Download the blockchain from boolberry.com and move it to your client's blockchain.bin location. The download is only a few hundred megabytes, but I've seen boolbd take 3.5gb

More than 1% of the float, so you can see why we don't care really about the 1% miner's tax going to the previous dev since our position is greater already.

We don't expect there to be problems and we don't expect him to vouche for us at this point in time. Despite his absence we were able to talk to him with some help from the community and we had a productive conversation.

Although we don't expect to do anything contentious in the first place, the worst thing that could happen is that there is drama which brings attention to BBR, and the best thing that could happen is that we make improvements that brings utility to BBR. Whether it is competition or collaboration, the outcome is pretty good for this otherwise stale blockchain.

We are trying to be as transparent as necessary

Buy low.

Thats an interesting perspective. Our conclusion was that existing miners can vote to remove the 1% fee already, so there was nothing contentious that we needed to do at this point in time (not that we wanted to, the point is that we don't consider CryptoZoidberg's absence a problem, it is a self inflicted problem of the community that the community can change by voting to remove the 1% subsidy for nothing). Although we will release information on how to do it, as it isn't very user friendly. We weren't actually aware of the 1% tax when we identified Boolberry for stewardship.

The database needs a hard fork, the mixin criteria may need a hard fork, the ringct will need a hard fork, those are things that will possibly be marginally contentious as is. So it would be better if CryptoZoidberg reappeared and collaborated with us, instead of reappearing and wondering where his 1% cash flow went.

New announcement thread under Blockchain Development Company moderation, please refer to that thread for latest developments

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1611499.0

/r/boolberry is now also Blockchain Development Company moderation

Our primary focus around moderation is to let people and the market know that Boolberry development is active again, and provide confidence that it will continue quickly.

We are currently in a moderated thread, so it is the same standard that CryptoZoidberg has, and although my channels should be open places to talk about the project as well as criticism, there are now multiple places to express your opinions if you feel there is or will be chilled expression

To complement Monero

The Blockchain Development Company was formed because we noticed that isolated competition between cryptocurrency networks was inefficient, when development teams should all be working together. General improvements in the cryptocurrency economies will benefit all networks.

Boolberry needs updates and modernizations first, and then it's advantages over Monero and other cryptonote networks will shine.

Join us on slack: https://boolberry.herokuapp.com

We are continuing Boolberry development with new information, such as new websites, new white papers, new downloads, and we needed our own moderated area to discuss the latest developments in Boolberry.

all the latest developments from the Blockchain Development Company happen on this thread.








Summary:

Boolberry is a cryptocurrency that uses the cryptonote protocol. It was released in 2014 fairly before development stopped mid 2015, and in late 2016 the Blockchain Development Company has taken over stewardship of the open source project and will be modernizing Boolberry with the latest cryptonote technology.

https://github.com/BlockchainDevelopmentCompany/boolberry

Its advantage over AEON, Monero and other cryptonote networks is that it already has a GUI, and has a great pruning algorithm to keep its blockchain smaller and scalable, while maintaining transactional privacy.

Our releases will report to the network as Boolberry v.X.X.X-RUNE, this is parallel and compatible infrastructure to other Boolberry nodes.

=========================
About Blockchain Development Company
=========================

The organization was formed in 2014 with the goal of understanding cryptocurrency projects that were not easily understood. We didn't like the inability of communities to have objective opinions about different cryptocurrencies, as people were either promoting one currency, or disrespecting another currency. In our view, this hurt cryptocurrency as a whole as the innovations in all the networks could be almost equally applied to all other networks, for stronger more robust competition.

Blockchain Development Company seeks to have the deepest understand of different cryptocurrencies and cryptoassets in order to improve them and make them more valuable, akin to activist investors like Carl Icahn, Bill Ackman and George Soros. From our research we obtain information advantages and may sometimes take activist developer roles to increase the utility of a cryptoasset.

We have identified Boolberry as an undervalued asset and are taking stewardship of it in our most public role yet.

and many more!

I talked to CryptoZoidberg and he wanted to see new code from my group before giving an official endorsement. So that is what we are doing.

I would like the owner Boolberry.com to accept my binaries, can you help me reach out to the owner of that site?

In the mean time, you can build from source https://github.com/BlockchainDevelopmentCompany/boolberry/ , although I understand that is not convenient, for now I want people to look at my code updates to see that nothing bad or breaking has been implemented before I make a big push on getting miners to update.

Boolbd daemon version 0.3.1 and greater report to the network as a variant called RUNE. This is just a client name to differentiate from zoidberg clients on the network, the currency and project is still called Boolberry, but this will be used to easily see Blockchain Development Company code going forward

Thank you for your patience

I literally just typed something like that to someone else, glad other people here get it

For sure, BBR and AEON will have different features and also innovate together. I see Smooth as a collaborator.

Have to get the blockchain out of RAM.

When Monero team releases RingCT, we'll merge it.

You have 75% of the network and I have made the first commit the Boolberry project has seen in a year.

You are the longest chain, you can build from my source or not. At this point in time I am open to accepting pull requests from Zoidberg into the Blockchain Development Company repository, and further collaboration as he also understands the cryptonote codebase, but make no mistake, the choice is completely yours.

I have been attempting to reach out to all of the infrastructure of Boolberry, including your pool, to establish confidence in the project. A further announcement is incoming, but for now, I need all participants in the Boolberry project to understand their role in the network and work together, and you have a greatly disproportionate influence on the direction of the network. The code is on github.

I updated checkpoints

https://github.com/BlockchainDevelopmentCompany/boolberry/commit/7f11d7872549ae649675c892e234dd284beb56c4

This is the first commit under the Blockchain Development Company, and a benign change that will not fork the network, but actually help prevent it from forking as Boolberry is currently hardly decentralized.

For those interested in already compiled builds, how can I contact the existing owner of boolberry.com ? I would be open to setting up a build server for the url

More announcements and support coming soon. People want to know the roadmap, intentions. This is primarily around modernizing Boolberry's code base to the standards of other cryptonote networks, initially. We would like to get the blockchain out of memory and addressing bugs.

Glad to see that. I had also assumed he had disappeared, and didn't initially plan on making pull requests to his repository

This can be a really professional outfit, and I am going through the process of setting that up

write code, make pull request, repeat

I'll be evaluating what kinds of updates are planned for Boolberry now that the sole developer has returned after a 5 month hiatus, and after the operator of the reddit and twitter page said there was no developer. These updates can potentially conflict with the rebasing that is planned
