Yes I withdrew some coins in past 12hrs no issues.

Try a small amount to check if it's working.

Has anyone been able to withdraw BBR from Stocks.Exchange? i have some there and just syncing up wallet so i can withdraw.

Some users reported deposit issues to me yesterday so I tried to deposit BBR to stocks.exchange. Almost 24 hours later it has still not been credited. I've messaged the operator and he's stated that their dev resources are spread thin working on the next version of their exchange. I would advise everyone to move trading to BTC-Alpha. IMO, it might be the best strategy to have him delist Boolberry until they launch their new exchange when they'll be able to properly address technical concerns.

I've tested BTC-Alpha deposits for BBR/BTC and everything is working. As long as you don't try to withdrawal from stocks, which has a non-functional payment id withdrawal, directly to alpha then you'll be just fine.


Coinfalcon looks like it'll end up being the Binance for the EU/NA market in the near future. They have top tier support, design and trading engine. Once you sign up for a trading account there, you'll understand my logic. One of the marketing guys is in contact with their team and they're looking into the project. In the meantime, if everyone can show support for the project by upvoting the pairing request, it will help to expedite any possible listing there.

There are a lot of information here. I wish all the devs have to be such responsible! My best wishes to your project.

There is a big problem with price and volume right now...

What about Kucoin? Are there problems?

The monerov snapshot is total amteur hour

Looks like thats the only way to snapshot fork a cryptonote coin

I think there are some things that could be done to make it more secure, if we were ever able to resurrect the doubloon snapshot fork

We have requested a $BBR pairing @ CoinFalcon.com found here: https://feedback.coinfalcon.com/feature-request/p/boolberry-pairing and would be grateful if you could give us your vote. Registration is quick and can be done with Twitter, Facebook acct's etc.

Thanks for the feedback on the script. I shared your post with the author and he confirmed that the script was flawed. When he was working on the cryptochangex BBR integration, he initially wrote that script (which didn't work) and then a second one which is functional. He's updated the repo with the correct version.

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to the promising future of BBR and for having CZ back on-board.
Definitely down to contribute to the cause and want to help promote the coin.

XRAY.

Boolberry was involved with Supernet......but everything changed when Next changed direction and jl777(James) removed Supernet from the Next environment. BarterDex is a P2P trading platform that removes the need for centralized exchanges and therefore government regulations. It also protects against exchange hacks/thefts/delistings This gets back to the central idea of cryptocurrency.........the governments can do whatever they want with Fiat.....just leave our crypto alone

Cheers Jon 

Yesssss!!! I always knew this day would come. The privacy coin space is one of the most promising spaces in Crypto and still has a lot of room for improvement (ie. no staking privacy coins exist).

In today's environment, devs are in short supply. So getting CZ and a team working full time is huge. I, for one, will contribute to the fund even though I'm not a major holder. The ROI on contribution at this stage and price level should be very large.

Once the community sees progress, along with more exchange listings, prices should advance quickly. Coins with an experienced, active dev in this market are usually no less than $100M market cap, which is a 5x+ from here. As mentioned, if we can challenge Monero technology-wise, that's another 50x potential from $100M. Supporting full time CZ team is a no-brainer.

I look forward to the updates!

As a long time holder of BBR it's very exciting to see the progression of this coin over the past few months.  I and I'm sure the rest of the community appreciates the updates from zoidberg and the entire team.  In the coming weeks and months I'm really excited to see the rollout of new features, updates, a new website  , road map, and of course the progression upward of the value of this coin.  I feel like were finally at that turning point for BBR which we all have been waiting for (some much longer then others).  I'm looking forward to supporting this coin as a holder/miner of it and to help fund the dev team with there continued development in which way I can.

Hi guys someone in the dev crew should have a chat with jl777 about integrating Boolberry into Komodo’s BarterDEX. For those of you that may have missed it here's a link to a easy to understand explanation

Cheers Jon 

thanks for the clarity on the project , ill be sure to give my idea's along the way .
very happy to see some progress finally and am excited for the future of BBR .

Woohoo hey that's me!

Yes my/our work on Boolberry is contingent on their being a liquid market. We align incentives by purchasing large portions of an asset cheaply and quietly, 1-10% of the total asset where possible, and then attempting to improve various aspects of it. This should be obvious now, but in mid 2016 that would have somehow been considered controversial in these immature markets unable to discern between activist investing and arbitrary pumping. Yes, let's just pretend we're all autistic software developers tinkering for fun, I can play along with that. But reality its just buy low, sell high, except where you control the complete outcome. Regardless, I want a Monero contender, Boolberry offers some things and can offer other things that would be extremely valuable.

What precipitated what? We encountered problems with compiling our changes, ie. what worked on Windows would crash on linux and we got stuck without further help from CZ, and his loyal followers But the delistings definitely precipitated the end of our involvement in helping the technical infrastructure, as well as finally being banned from the community chatrooms by CZ. As Icebeaker put it, dictator for life! (There may be something else afoot, there are some strange things on boolberry's network.)

The Blockchain Development Company is a management company and advisory service for a small crypto hedge fund(s), the management company employs analysts and software engineers. Any of our rebranding or revitalization efforts need liquidity and support from the community. Boolberry was very successful for Blockchain Development Company and the fund(s), all the investors were watching this highly profitable shitshow silently and have been a part of all of our future projects which has culminated in bigger funds as well as other crypto projects and advisory/thought leadership in this space.

10/10 would do again.

Quite a few exchange use Peatio which is built on RoR framework. The developer who wrote the script asked me to remove the old one so he can commit a new one with comments. This is understandable since he's the author

 @hashappliance Excellent summary!

My suggestion would be to have Zoidberg&Co release an interim roadmap and/or the new website (if ready) while you complete your fundraising round. This will provide everyone with a clear picture of what they're working on, respective release timetables and the overall commitment of Zoidberg&Co to this project. This will also have the added benefit of motivating the general community here to participate in the fundraising.

I would advise releasing an interim roadmap as soon as possible that covers the immediate goals i.e. critical fixes to Boolberry core; after those milestones are met then it can be updated to cover future improvements. The reason for an interim roadmap is one cannot accurately estimate future milestones until the core issues are resolved. In software development, you can either have clean code or deadlines, so one must chose between realistic short term goals vs fantastic long term ones with missed deadlines.

In addition, the project cannot afford another 7-10 days for a roadmap while the disparity in marketcap with competitors grows wider each day.. It's been a month now since the delay with the new website and it's had a negative effect within the community. We just had the project in front of one of the most influential crowds in this industry and the lack of decent website and roadmap hinder that exposure. This needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

Things move really fast in the cryptocurrency space and everyday that goes by without progress is a day lost for everyone and missed opportunities.

Lastly, I would suggest Zoidberg move all future development to the https://github.com/boolberry repository. I've sent him an owner invite to the Boolberry organization. Working out of an organization repo vs a user repo allows for better project structure, organization, decentralization and motivates developers to become part of the Boolberry community.

All that said, I have the utmost confidence in your ability to help steer this project where it needs to go. I hope the community here will take that statement as a vote of confidence in your commitment to this project and it's long term vision. My team and I will be available for advisement and resources where ever needed.

Hello Everyone:

As most of you are aware, there have been development efforts on Boolberry over the course of the past 8 months.  This path has been riddled with uncertainty surrounding crypto_zoidberg, his commitment, his availability and the best path forward for Boolberry. 

A second external attempt to bring life back to Boolberry began with B4h4mu7 hiring a slew of developers, and cryptographers to get acclimated to the CryptoNote codebase.  After several months of research and deliberation, they introduced the concept of forking the recently released Bytecoin 2.0 codebase, a new mining algorithm, whitepaper, among other improvements. 

All this work and investment was done without any reliance on crypto_zoidberg being available.  The support for the fork was unanimous, and really illustrated the desire of the community to have committed leadership, active development, and a clear direction forward. 

Shortly after the community had signaled its support for a fork, crypto_zoidberg reached out and articulated his conundrum. 


Here is an overview of what he communicated: 

1.   Having been the original creator of Boolberry and Wild Keccak, he expressed a strong desire to see the project achieve its full potential and regain status as one of the top privacy coins.

Original Project announcement:      
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bbr-boolberry-privacy-and-security-guaranteed-since-2014-577267

2.   He explained how different things are now, where new forks / ICOs have built-in development funds, but when Boolberry was created, it was a fair launch and that in 2014, anything else was frowned upon, if not flatly rejected by the market.  He described the current high demand and cost of top developers.  He admittedly regrets putting such a low mining tax, of 1% (which is split among multiple contributors) and acknowledged this miscalculation as not being sufficient to attract and maintain top developers, as well as have resources for marketing, PR, exchange fees etc.

Here is a post from 2014, which illustrates that the 1% mining tax, at that time, equated to about $750 per month, which was clearly insufficient.  To eliminate any debate on this topic, even at today’s rates, 1% is equal to just under $2,000 per month, which remains clearly insufficient.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9111378

3.   Importantly, he communicated his availability, as he has completed all prior obligations, and this was primarily in response to inquiring about a CryptoNote hybrid PoS / PoW project that he announced in December of 2014.

4.   He described how Monero really got traction from early adopters, namely Risto Pietilla, and the support he provided not only through supporting the market as an investor, but also as a top contributor to help fund their early development and the formation of a core team.

Here is an insightful article about Risto:

https://cointelegraph.com/news/finnish-investor-plans-to-turn-estonian-castle-into-a-bitcoin-center

5.   He shared his vision and strategy for catapulting Boolberry back to its prior rank in the privacy coin vertical.  (At one point, it was a top 30 overall market cap coin, which now requires a market cap in excess of $800,000,000.) 

6.   Except for having adequate funding, he has a top-notch team in place, that has a history of working together on a prior project.

7.   He concluded by communicating that he and his team are ready, willing, and able but need support for fundraising and community outreach.


It didn't take much time, after having these discussions, to realize exactly where we needed to focus our efforts to be most effective in facilitating his return and empowering him and the team to show what they are capable of, and finally unlocking the tremendous value that sits before us all.

 I have been working diligently to coordinate with a large group of long-time holders to help coordinate a first round of fund raising that will provide an important bridge for the project.  It will afford us the focus and commitment of crypto_zoidberg and his team and give him the opportunity to earn back / restore the trust within the community. 

My hope (and candidly, my expectation) is that subsequent fundraising will ensue as progress is made, milestones are met, and confidence and trust are both restored.


I want to start by giving some of the newer investors a brief overview of the history and legacy of Boolberry:


1.   Boolberry was announced on April 20th, 2014 and launched on May 17th, 2014

2.   During this short window, crypto_zoidberg was working at a brisk pace to implement unique features that set it apart from other forks around that same time including Monero, among others.

3.   In a span of just over 3 weeks, he added the alias features, a pruning mechanism to manage bloat, and a new SHA-3 (keccak) derived PoW Algorithm called Wild Keccak, which has never been shown to have any unfair advantage as compared to CryptoNight.  (see link below)

https://da-data.blogspot.com/2014/08/minting-money-with-monero-and-cpu.html

4.   Following the release of this new CryptoNote family of coins, there were very high expectations for Boolberry relative to its peers.  According to coinmarketcap.com Boolberry on its first day of trading (June 4th, 2014) was at 185k sat, and about 3 months later on September 5th, 2014, BBR hit 120k sat.  As an aside, Polinex voluntarily listed Boolberry without any request.

5.   On December 9th, 2014, crypto_zoidberg announced a new CryptoNote project with hybrid PoS / PoW consensus.  This has been his primary focus for the past several years, and he has fulfilled his obligations to that project, but him and his team have never stopped innovating.

6.   Having shifted his focus to this new project, Boolberry was somewhat abandoned.  There was a period of almost 2 years with minimal commits to the GitHub repo.  Prices fell accordingly, and in September 2016 there was an announcement by 1blockologist of some “grassroots” attempt to bring Boolberry back to the limelight.  After 6 months of efforts, for reasons that are conjecture at best, their efforts ceased.  This transitory pique in interest followed by a lack of development, arguably precipitated multiple delisting’s, from both Polinex and Bittrex, among others.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/xbb-boolberry-attempt-at-grassroots-development-movement-bittrex-1611499

7.   As the grass roots efforts were winding down, crypto_zoidberg made a post that he would return to Boolberry in late 2017, but also highlighted the difference between buying a coin, and investing in a development team, and the need and importance for them to co-exist.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.17761651


This brings us back to where I had started up above.

In summary, crypto_zoidberg and his team reached out and reiterated their intention and desire to return to the Boolberry project along with the challenges relative to funding as described above.  After extensive conversation, there is a consensus that the best path forward is for us to join efforts in reaching out to the community for project funding that will enable a team led by crypto_zoidberg to commit on a full-time basis going forward.  He will lead a team of developers, and will also have the support of a well experienced marketing / PR team to manage non-technical aspects and community outreach.

I have personally reached out to many long-time supporters and holders of Boolberry, at first, I got somewhat of a mixed initial reaction. 

Some people were so enthusiastic about the prospect of his return that their support was unconditional, and others have shared their concern that he has let them down in the past with unkept promises of his return. 

Even the people that were skeptical at first, have committed to be supportive after they see that he is active, certain improvements have been implemented (LMDB in particular) and the trust has been restored that this is his full-time focus as would be evidenced by the GitHub activity.

I have taken the initiative in leading a community effort to raise funds for this project.  I think the value proposition is clear.  I will keep everyone informed as progress is made.  CZ will be creating a new BBR project funding address along with a viewkey on the donation address, so everyone can see contributions in real-time. 

I expect the first round of funding to be completed in the next 7-10 days (at the latest), and we will be releasing the new website, roadmap, and a reveal of the team / contributors shortly thereafter.  In the meantime, progress is being made each day as CZ and his team are working tirelessly, to make up for lost time, and then focus on innovation and re-establishing Boolberry as a contender to be a top privacy coin.


If anyone has any questions or comments, please feel free to comment here or send me a PM. 

Additionally, I want to be clear on this important point: 

Even though, I have emphasized the importance of large holders during this initial fundraising phase, we want to hear from everyone here.  I do not want anyone to ever feel like they aren't a big enough holder to matter.  This is a community effort, everyone matters, and we implore you all to share your thoughts and feelings regarding the aforementioned direction.   

Until the new webiste is released with a new contribution address / public viewkey, please make all contributions to support our efforts to @zoidberg along with a PM if you wish to be acknowledged on the contributors page.


Thank you everyone for your presence, your interest, and we are excited to share the vision and our plans for
Boolberry in the near future.  Your patience will be rewarded, as it often is.


I'll leave you with a favorite quote of mine by Wayne Gretzky: "Skate to where the puck is going, not to where it is"


Cheers!!
