Topic: Announcing Burnly, POB based blockchain - first code released on github (Read 202 times)

Awaiting for the next update

Updated the main post with the vision and updated roadmap/whitepaper

Here is direct link to updated whitepaper which include technical architecture at birds' eye view

https://burn.ly/whitepaper.pdf

Well, it look like a fun project.

I want to help but i'm a total noob.

I bought a little bit but i will be mining when that would be possible.

Good luck!

Yes - I am devoting my blood and sweat at this moment. The long term goal is to make this into top 10 used blockchain for actual value delivery - I am not looking at price or market cap perspective as being from Bay Area I understand that money follow the product.
So focused on building a product, pitch the idea to VCs and get funding to setup a large team/proper office space/lead the community to continuously deliver value.

The first focus is to show that when UserA send coins to UserB, there are UserC...N providing consensus to prove that transaction, and by doing so they are making the currency more scarce to everyone by actually reducing the supply (burning) - this idea is so much different from Staking / PoW - where staking is easy, but its risky and does not reduce the supply.. PoW is lets agree limited to only few big names. I want to be able to use any free CPU cycles on idle laptop, phones, smart tvs (moonshot) to provide consensus.

There is so much energy wasted by idle CPU cycles which could be used here.

I am assuming that your project right now is running solo, is that correct?
What is actually your goal on this project, that you think will keep you alive in continuing its development?
Just want to ask as we have seen a lot of alts come and go, and only few survive in this market.
If you are exploring the PoB concept, what is your main aim to accomplish on this project to make it sustainable?

I have started working on the testnet and all code will be released into this core repo

https://github.com/burn-ly/go-burn

It should have a basic wallet, complete node and a CPU miner for x64/arm architecture (for raspberry pi) to begin with. In all honesty, its way too early. Want this to be community-driven project which I can lead and direct. I will post some tech architecture and will invite reviews once I have more interested developers.

For that, I am hiring (volunteers) for golang, react/ts/node (for website) and rust/c/c++ for Algos - please reach out if you wish to contribute and we can setup some time

Greatly appreciate the comment and through review. THANK YOU AGAIN.

I will remove the Team Member ( thats my Animoji and how I look to Apple/Snapchat ) but I understand your point. The idea is to put actual pictures linked to various social/networking sites - especially Linked In which will be a big reveal, for me personally at this time.
Whitepaper will include architecture, and more walkthrough a little bit - pending clear directions - update in due course.

yeah how to mine it ?

Looks intresting...
You mentioned that it can be mined? can you point me to where to do it?

Hi, upon checking the website, I noticed that there are some things that has to be achieved and completed. The whitepaper clearly mentioned that it is currently a "draft version" which I highly understand, but it is better if you could post everything clearly and concisely.

Another thing, the team members of the project contained some cartoonish design, not even with their real name/s disclosed. While I also understand the anonymity of the members, if that were the case, then it is outright better if you just remove it and not post it at all. Better to post nothing than to post something that may raise some doubts.

Anyway, I am just concerned that if you were to start this project investors might sway and deviate from their decision due to the website being incomplete. Good luck, OP.

WHITEPAPER: https://burn.ly/whitepaper.pdf

What is BURNLY
Burnly is my brainchild and has been for many years, we never came up with an actual name until recently. The founder was introduced to bitcoin, back in 2015–2016 and he asked himself..

Who will be able to afford such high mining costs?

Burnly is on the mission to create a Proof of Burn (PoB) consensus based, Level 1, Blockchain with its own native coin. We do not require expensive mining ASIC, the consensus can be provided on a low powered CPU. The grand vision is to be able to mine on any smart device using free CPU cycles.

Why Burnly
Back in 2017, he socialized the idea of other approaches, very close to Proof of Burn. It was a hybrid between Proof of Stake and Burn. However, he never pursued the idea at that time.

An idea never dies, as it’s just a thought. It stuck in his mind and every time he dealt with Smart Contracts (ERC20) he kept thinking of cheaper / free alternatives of blockchains and why the CPU is not enough to provide consensus while it can do most complex tasks around the world.

We want to create a world, free of tax / reflections on transactions, fees on transactions, and such. We want everyone to be able to transact, by simply being part of the system.

How will it work
Currently, we have our “core” token or the “fuel” to the fire $BURNLY available for free trade on ShibaSwap — Zero Tax or Reflection on either side of the trade. Feel free to buy/sell or hold. The long-term benefit is in holding but we are building a free world so do not want to hold your tokens, hostage, via staking or such.

Introducing $BurnSquad
This is the token that will be at the heart of providing consensus, consider it in easy terms a Gas Fee on Ethereum. The magical mystical feature of this token is that it cannot be transferred, cannot be traded. Only the wallet that earned it gets to keep it. The only purpose of this token is to provide consensus and mine for blocks. This sounds similar to staking but we are NOT holding your $BURNLY hostage.

System Architecture
see whitepaper for images (https://burn.ly/whitepaper.pdf)

It starts with a wallet loaded with $BURNLY that you can buy/sell today easily on ShibaSwap (DEX). Upon the launch of #testnet and similarly, by #mainnet, you will be given an opportunity window to send your $BURNLY (ERC20) tokens to a special address.

Your wallet will be reviewed for following

Age of tokens — to decide your initial reward tier
Amount of tokens — to decide your initial reward amount
Extra reward for participating in Liquidity Pool at ShibaSwap
Your final balance at #testnet / #mainnet will be calculated and a new wallet address will be credited. This is one time/irreversible activity to switch over from Ethereum to Burnly

Reward Ratio after Mainnet
Once we are fully operational on the mainnet, the reward will be tiered again on the basis of

Age of native $BURNLY tokens in your wallet
Amount of $BURNSQUAD tokens in your wallet
The ratio is still being worked upon and will be announced as we approach the testnet milestone

Wen Burn?
The tokenomics of the native blockchain is to the deflationary supply of #BURNLY. Every time you burn your $BURNLY token into $BURNSQUAD tokens your tokens are permanently removed from the supply (aka burned, charred, gone forever) and immediately reducing the supply.

Example (the ratio is not final, just for demonstration)
Wallet1 has 1 Billion $BURNLY — the ration for eg. 1000 $BURNLY : 1 $BURNSQUAD
Wallet1 burn 1 Million $BURNLY and received 1000 $BURNSQUAD.
These $BURNSQUAD cannot be transferred between wallets thus non-tradable. They can be however perceived as “mining equipment”
Each miner will bet a certain amount of $BURNSQUAD (depending upon the load on the blockchain) to get a chance at mining the next block. This is dynamic to keep the system secure from 51% attack. In a low activity time period and less number of miners, the bets will be high.
A random miner will be picked depending upon a (currently unconfirmed) but load balancing algorithm
The $BURNSQUAD tokens will however be consumed from EACH MINER.
The wallet/miner is already authorized to mine so there is no lengthy PoW or PoS algorithm needed. The miner is considered a trusted identity.
Once the block is mined, the $BURNSQUAD will be consumed — treat it like Gas fees on Ethereum
The rewards for mining the block will be paid back in $BURNSQUAD full refund along with $BURNLY token — the actual amount of the $BURNLY token is still not decided but will be dynamic depending upon the system load.
This ensures the miner is rewarded well, while effectively keep reducing the supply of $BURNLY at a constantly decreasing curve.
Zero Tax? How are devs paid?
Thank you for asking, yes there is no tax on transactions today so there is nothing that is collected as “hidden fees” to build a fake market cap. Almost entire liquidity is provided by the community and you can do so anytime by visiting this link

https://shibaswap.com/#/add/ETH/0x036c3a8bc8327e56564104f658576c995118E9A3

This keeps our current supply healthy and any big buy/sell order will not have greater price fluctuations.

We have a DEV wallet that currently owns around 20% of the total token supply. It is however locked away in Unicrypt Locker for multiple dates.

Locker Proof

The soonest unlock of 5% liquidity is in 15 days, then 5% in 45 days, then 5% in 5 months, and last 5% in December 2022

Re-lock plan
We will continue to re-lock the liquidity from 6–12 months until we need funds to pay for developers or hosting fees. The purchases will be whitelisted and shared with the community.

Wen Lambo (Launch)?
We are very early and building the community and our strength. Please share this post with friends and family. We will keep everyone posted via Monthly updates on progress and the next post will likely include a roadmap with a high level of actions.
