Dear friends!
I'm very sorry that made you wait a the "announcment".
First of all I want to say that I was very excited to see how the Boolberry (BBR) community resisted rebranding. I didn’t post anything about it, but I’m actually very impressed. I believe this process of community involvement made our brand stronger than ever. I want to say a big thank you for that!
During the last 6 months since Boolberry started, we have been working hard trying to make BBR usable and reliable, appealing and secure(coded "like there is no tomorrow" (c) by fluffypony). It’s been hard work with lots of fun and lots of stress, but we survived tough times and we are strong. We now have a working unique stable crypto-currency, with a thriving and growing community.
According to current rate of BBR, 1% donation is as low as 750$ per month, it certainly does not look like a budget for an IT project (it’s not even enough for monthly survival of one person). All income was spent on project needs, shared with team, some part spent on bounties, on servers rent, etc.
Last week I spent many hours having discussions with a couple of investors, people who were ready to invest in a project where i’m involved as a core developer. We discussed different options, and you probably won’t be surprised to learn that investors are interested in profits first and foremost. There were various suggested options, including things that required radical changes or even launching a completely new project. Well, it certainly didn’t sound good for Boolberry’s potential future success.
We was tried during last days to workout some acceptable approach for fundrising, but i finally rejected it, due to my own understanding of it and my own standarts, so this is completely my responsibility.
We planed different announce, but now announce is just about it.
That means that we'll keep looking for some way to get funds, and i'll keep active developmet of the project.

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

The ONLY possible way to achieve change is to change the very system of how government functions. Until we are prepared to do that, suck it up for your future belongs to the madness and corruption of politicians."

Let it go, if you want to be taken seriously. How about some transparency on the development "team" and upcoming works? For all we know, you're a one-man show here. Thanks for the update, BTW. Where is the donation address? |

Let it go, if you want to be taken seriously. I thought that was fairly lighthearted and not really intended as hostile. Maybe I read it wrong. Anyway I praise crypto_zoidberg for demonstrating a lot of integrity in walking away from money that had (in his view) the wrong strings attached and into the unknown. |

Funding crypto projects seems to be a major issue even among well established currencies.
For all the flack(trolling?) that I've seen BBR take over the so called "tax"(even though it's optional) I'm surprised to learn it's as little as $750 a month.
Hopefully you guys can figure out a good arrangement. I know we've(edit: we being Bitmark) had major issues with developer funding and it seems to be a widespread problem with every currency that didn't do an ICO, premine, instamine ect.

That a measly $750/month triggers the sensitivities of the priggish purity police just goes to show unreasonable is the XMR's devs' lofty yet self-defeating 'touch no money for it is of this world and therefore tainted' standard. Satoshi is a Buddha, and can thus live on a diet of one sesame seed per block reward halving period, but the rest of us need to at the very least pay rent and eat. If BBR needs to auction off a Bootstrap Block, my BTC are ready to assist the cause! |

Zoidberg Great, I thought so. This explains removing of the walls and selling. ps: I had him on ignore even before he joined BBR for obvious reasons. He hasn't done nothing visible, except dividing the community over the name change, some people are just pricks. I am glad he exit and took loses. |
