[PRE-ANN] [XDB] Doubloon - Privacy Evolved

[Khinchin]

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

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.

[solarsun]

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.

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. Please sub to the thread and join us on any of the chat platform to stay in the loop.

All of our chat mediums are bridged i.e. if you send a message on Discord it will be sent to Telegram, Riot, IRC etc.

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

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...
