[BBR] Boolberry: Privacy and Security - Guaranteed Since 2014

[crypjunkie]

What is "LD project"?

LD is short for Louisd'or - the codename for the proposed hybrid PoW/PoS cryptonote project crypto_zoidberg plans on merging into BBR. We've covered the surrounding speculation in-depth in the following article https://coinopoly.xyz/monero-boolberry-and-the-return-of-crypto_zoidberg/

Have you any more information you can give on the interview with CZ? Has the interview already taken place or has there been an arrangement to conduct an interview? If so have you any idea when? Thanks

but louisd'or was never launched, why?

Probably best to forget about CZ and merging anything from Louisd'or.

Louisd'or was never launched, despite promises late 2015 and early 2016. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=887482.120

Can anyone produce evidence that Louisd'or is/was ever more than just a bitcointalk thread?!

Probably because the db c++ work needed for both would take months, and CZ stated that he needed $ at the time.

Apparently getting BBR out of ram is no easy feat, and that appears to be the same point we are at now.

iirc someone said on the thread that they had tried the wallet for it but i have never seen anything for it, and Louisd'or was only a codename as far as i'm aware.
I certainly don't hang my all my hopes on CZ return as 1block and javajared are working away on it. Also as 1block has just stated on his recent post he is working on adding another C++ dev. With the codebase being so unique i think it has taken a bit more time than expected to get to grips with it.
SebSebastian from SDC is also contributing and 1block has been getting interest from others too...

While we don't presume to speak for crypto_zoidberg, we can speculate on numerous reasons why he chose not to launch it as a separate project.

First: Our understanding (from researching early BBR and LD threads) is that it was originally going to be a separate project, then at some point the repository was changed to private. From there it most likely became a testbed where cz and co have been actively working on it since his hiatus from BBR. Upon his return to the thread he stated he would be merging the work he's done into the BBR codebase.

My work is related to BBR codebase, which means that everything i do now gonna be migrated to BBR.

Unless proven otherwise we can assume his "related work" is the concepts from the LD project.

Second: Launching a currency project and successfully building a lasting community around it is no small feat. BBR is already listed on the two major altcoin exchanges and already has name recognition within the crypto community. In todays world, without major distribution on these exchanges a project is basically dead in the water. Even more so given Poloniex's currency controls that have a large amount of BTC trapped on the exchange.

Third: There are early Dash, XMR and Shadow whales who've taken up positions in this project. In our view, it can bridge a gap between the three by offering something that appeals to all communities. If LD were launched as a separate project it would alienate the investors who've been holding and supporting the project since its inception.

we're watching ringCT proliferate on Monero's network, seeing how well that goes

the fork went fine, decent prep time, some users aren't prepared to use ringct and are turning it off but this looks like an adjustment period

Yeah was checking it earlier about 65% using, be mandatory soon enough. Probably the price of 0.1XMR preventing all transactions using it.

no bi-weekly update?

Yes 1block is working on it now, will be posted today.

We are ramping up development and need to clarify a couple of things.

Donation Process
This update is primarily around formalizing the donations process.

Sporadically, people have donated to @blockology and that has been very helpful. Although the 1% miner tax has not been a priority incentive, this is still enabled and goes to CZ, voluntary donations would spur development better.

There are several objectives and key results which can be funded directly and this will allow the people that worked on those things to be paid directly without ambiguity.

This too is modeled after Monero’s approach to donations and development funding.

For example, there are several approaches to the seed node solution, and they require owning multiple domain names and setting the A names to stable peers.

The domain names themselves would have a cost and having at least one highly connected node under our control would a cost. And paying for it years into the future would be prudent.

Similarly, binaries, and the LMDB are very high priorities.

I’ll be organizing this more in the coming days, showing what the primary objectives are.

Cryptonote

Monero forked to include RingCT and I’ve been monitoring developments in that front, with Boolberry in mind. RingCT has been on the development roadmap since the first research paper was released, and it would require a hard fork in Boolberry.

For now, if a flaw is found in RingCT then boolberry is a good fallback network. If all goes well we would be looking to have the Boolberry community update via hard fork. There would be no contentious hard forks and there are a lot of improvements to bring over without a hard fork.

Firstly thanks for the update and it's good to hear that development is going to be getting ramped up, have you got any figures for costs on the setting up of multiple domains and related costs to the seed node problem? I assume binaries and things like LMDB will be priced up by the contributing dev.

yes I have cost figures

I'll be working on the binaries and LMDB as well, although the project management and community aspect has been time consuming, still expect code

How about we fork BBR and increase the tax to 5% and send it to a a multi sig wallet with a full ledger. Would this aid development? BBR's development is pretty much at a snails pace compared to other projects. It is the lack of devleopment funds I expect which is causing this. Let's beef up the tax and beef up the dev team?

[jwinterm]

There's no multisig in Boolberry or other cryptonotes, and Monero seems to be doing just fine without 1, 5, or more % dev taxes.
