Boolberry Network Address Oct. 26th 2016Boolberry Daemon DevelopmentThere are several methods on the RPC server under development. RPC server updates will allow for making services such as web wallets, transaction auditing (useful for Bitsquare and trustless commerce), statistical information, and even help in improving the native wallet. JavaJared has made progress on getting the nodes to communicate more information during their initial handshake, this is a work in progress.
There have not been any binaries released yet, but there will be in the future, for the people that wish to run code from the organization repository as a matter of convenience.
There is the ongoing desire from several community members for a pull request to be made to CryptoZoidberg's repository. When further updates are finished, this can be done. This would be largely symbolic, as mbe24 has submitted a pull request from our repository to CryptoZoidberg's repository 22 days prior which contains all code changes done to that point in time, this preempts all discussions about this exact topic, and it has not been merged or discussed by CZ. Perhaps there is interest in me personally submitting the pull request?
In any case, whether pull requests get submitted and merged or not, the code changes do not cause hard forks, and are also necessary for the infrastructure that the organization is going to extend to make boolberry more convenient to use. Blockchain Development Company web services (which may also be open source) will be using the updated client regardless.
The code changes being made are also prerequisites for improvements in the wallet experience.
Boolberry CommunityThe operator of the twitter account is back, and has re-assumed moderation of the Boolberry subreddit and twitter account. They are user Boolberry on bitcointalk and on reddit.
The slack created by mbe24 has 30 members. You can join here
https://boolberry.herokuapp.com/ There is interest in some community members for using something besides slack for privacy reasons, spideroak was suggested.
The majority of up to the second development updates and discussions can be found on the slack. In comparison, both bitcointalk threads are relatively quiet, as well as the reddit page.
Several cryptocurrency enthusiasts don’t like the formatting of the research and roadmap report that was put out two months ago. In a direct contrast, the formatting continues to engage people outside of the cryptocurrency community and bringing their interest into the space and ideally will eclipse the relevance of the existing enthusiasts.
The interest includes representatives from large banks that have contacted the organization, about the Boolberry project, directly from the ease of consuming the research report.
Within the existing cryptocurrency enthusiast community, contributors have been inspired by the research report, and understand the vision.
Boolberry Capital MarketsThe spot market trades in a wide range on low volume, but high volume purchases share a pattern. The large accumulations appear to hit arbitrarily high prices, but the average purchase prices of those large buy orders continues to be .00021 BTC (21k sat). Although these buy orders immediately incur a loss due to illiquidity, their positions value Boolberry at around a 1.2 million market cap.
Blockchain Development Company uses a variety of quantitative analysis to analyze price trends in markets, and at this point the organization is the fundamental analysis. We don't typically factor in technical analysis especially in illiquid markets, although there is some overlap in the schools of thought. If you would like to know more about that topic feel free to discuss on slack.
Development Fund UpdatesThere have been some more donations to the developer fund and we need to create formalities on how that gets apportioned. There are upcoming costs when various microservices get launched, but this is subsidized by the Blockchain Development Company's membership in the Microsoft Bizspark program, which provides monthly credits for Microsoft Azure. In the circumstances that the microservices use all of the Azure credits for the month, they can be further paid for from the developer fund.
If there are any opinions about developer fund appropriations to contributors to the open source projects, discuss them!
