I started to get personal messages from people who call themselfs "investors".
They writing that they invested hundreds of-thousands $ in project and really care about it, giving me strong advice to stop other projects and dedicate myself to BBR and so on.
For all those people i'll answer here: you invest not in the project, you invest in coins, which do not affect project funding much.
Just fyi: average salary for experienced developer is about 8-10k$/month, if you would dedicate just a tiny part of your "investment" into project funding you would get really strong improvements of BBR from development side.
But since you prefer to wait passively and write convincing message - then have patience and wait, i have things to be done in BBR in near future.

Is this account the real CZ?
seems not to make any sense to me. I mean he holds a lot of BBR I would expect but investors in bbr coins driving up the price to huge levels does not help him with funding? what does this even mean? Most coin developers hold a LOT of the coin they are developing for so when it goes up 10x their funding is increased hugely because they sell chunks to raise BTC if that is what they need.
Let's increase the development % to 5 or 10 % then to a known wallet address so we can see how much development fund there is right now. 1% is probably not enough
Also what's this someone owns 2million BBR that is a crazy amount. POLO locked the wallet due to what exact reason?
Sad to see BBR cut down in its rise up to being something relevant in the cc sphere. Is it all elaborate fud or is this really a massive pump and dump exit from someone.
If this is the real CZ posting and he wants a larger slice. Let's give a larger slice and get this thing rolling.
BBR moves at snails pace these last years. How to kick start it off again?
To my knowledge it was a fairly launched coin and had no dramas behind it. I hope someone is not spoiling this all for a quick pump and dump.
All valid questions. I've given the guy 6BTC worth of coins, roughly $6,300 at the market rate and we can't seem to get a straight answer out of him or a thank you.
You must be a wealthy guy some people here dont have 6btc of currency let alone 6btc to give away.
However, yes this kind of developer is not as yet invested in the project. I mean saying that a 10x price hike due to investment does not aid the development fund is strange unless he has very few coins himself. Therefore if he has very few coins himself he had no belief in the project nor much interest. Perhaps with 5% of 10% he would become more invested/interested.
There is no doubting his skill set many other coders have said he is a great coder but i have seen before talented developers that do not seem interest in their project as ask for more btc all the time whilst having no interest in holding their own creation?
I mean if you believe in what you are creating you would hold a vast amount and if you hold a vast amount then a 10x price hike is going to be very helpful to you financially.
Not sure what to think about it. However with progress as it has been for the last 2 yrs bbr is going nowhere.
All agreeable points. The whole scenario is very strange.
I donated to crypto_zoidberg because I've been passively holding this currency for over a year now. Frankly, I'm tired of periodically checking this thread and the github hoping that a unicorn will show up and take the project to the next stage of development. If crypto_zoidberg was clear that a lack of funds was the reason there hasn't been any commits to the codebase in over two years I'm positive more in this community would have contributed to his fund instead of dumping their holdings at the first sign of a pump. As you mentioned, there are other options like raising the mining fee.
In hindsight, I probably should of waited for a response from him before sending such a large sum but I perceive it as a gesture of goodwill to bring him back on the project. He was the top CryptoNote developer before he went into hiding and abandoned the project.. if donations can bring him back on the project this will be the top CryptoNote project.
On the bright side, we have 1block and other interested developers actively engaging the community and growing awareness of the project. CZ could learn a thing or two from 1block's bi-weekly updates. It's simple things like communication and organization that builds communities and attracts talent.
