To speed up compilation, remove the last line of CMakeLists.txt, "add_subdirectory(tests)".

When you put the sorcecode at https://github.com/cryptozoidberg/boolberry for real boolberry? Because the compiling takes a time of a minimum of 30 min for me.
Or it is possible to only change genisisblock somewhere.
And must we delete the testnet blockchain then?

Boolberry and Honeypenny?

Is that supposed to be Boolean fruit? Why trivialize such an innovative project with a childish name. Sounds like eliza Doolittle spinoff or Winnie-the-pooh character. Unfortunately that choice can encumber the success of the project.

so this coin will be only CPU mineable ?
We hope so.
Probably first time will be possible to mine with gpu.

Let's Go!

Sorry for the delay, it was necessary to resolve some issues exactly before the start.


TEST NET STARTED. Please try it, just to be sure that everything is fine.

16 May: 16-00 GMT  NETWORK LAUNCH!


Now, few words of lyrics:
During this discussion about monetization https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hp-monetization-discussion-590520 we have tried to find out any suitable model of donation-based support, and finally reached an impasse.
After consideration with all interested parties, we've decided to give up the idea ​​managed income. We are sorry if someone disappointed, but unfortunately any scheme that we proposed was proved as subject to cheating.
We openly declare that devs reserve the percentage of emission(5%, or may be less) and this percentage will  be smoothly emitted along with all coins. We believe that with such a model, we will be more than enough motivated to increase the value of coins with passionate development and promotion.

Anyway, we started poll  here, just to get feedback, so you can vote and speak out.

Please submit bugs here, in this thread or even better on github: https://github.com/cryptozoidberg/boolberry/issues

Topic updated with actual info.
Thank you for participating.

crypto

so sorry to appear petty. but please keep op updated regarding launch and testnet.
if you follow at all monero, this was a real problem for monero at first. result is continued confusion to some degree.
it would certainly keep confusion down and adoption high and overal increase satisfaction.

thanks.

So launch is today?
if you mean real network than no, i'll start real network not earlier than in two days after test net start.

why is testnet down?
Sorry about start.
Test network is not started yet.
As for development - it is everything ready for start, but have some unresolved organizational problems, and i'm working hard to solve it.
Hope we'll start tomorrow.
Thank you for understanding.

there is a user saying that there is no true anonimity until there is a way of obfuscating the IP address. Until that is done, the anonimity provided by cryptonote is not assured. can you please comment on this.

following are his thoughts (anonymint):


CryptoNote's one-time ring signature as a way of obfuscating who is the payer (the spender), is optional and can only be used when there are other payees who have matching input amounts. In other words, it can't do any obfuscation for you on spending unless there are other coins that have the same balance as yours.

That very infrequent opportunity for use is coupled with constant use of elliptical curve cryptography which is known to be broken under quantum computing, as well is suspect to broken by the NSA[1] or could be broken since it is number theoretic public key cryptography.

And the use of one-time ring signatures mucks up the pruning of the block chain of spent addresses. There is a tweak to improve this over the current CryptoNote (one of the tweaks I alluded to upthread).

Bottom line is most of your anonymity will come from obfuscating your IP address with something more reliable than Tor and I2P, not from the block chain mixing of CryptoNote or Zerocash/coin, i.e. if your IP is correlated to your identity, then the one-time ring signature doesn't obscure your identity when you spend.

The case where the one-time ring signature is really useful is a transaction with multiple inputs wherein the spender is merging his coins, thus enabling tracing of those coins to the same entity (the current spender). And it is very unfortunate the one-time ring signature is optional in this case, because it is the identity of the upchain spenders who suffer from this action by the current spender, thus the motivation is not there.

So we can see as it is currently structured, CryptoNote doesn't really support anonymity much.

Sorry to blow holes in your enthusiasm. Reality sucks if you haven't taken the time to do some serious work before launching.

Note that the use of a separate payee address for each transaction is a very useful strategy. This is a positive aspect of CryptoNote that adds anonymity, but again it is not so effective without reliable IP obfuscation, as the payee will reveal himself on spending.

Anonymity seems has good ideas and point. As you are considering premine vs taxes, and there are good arguments for and against,  it might be some to consider.

The following is a quote from him.
As far as I can see (unless I am missing something), I think it is silly and doesn't resolve the issues I explained upthread.

I would like to comment on this issue of fairness and premine. I offer a "reality check" like water on the face. Apologies.

In my opinion, the coin that wins is the one that has the best developers. Developers need to be paid. When I say developers, I mean several people like myself (or apparently smooth?) who are extremely capable programmers and computer scientists. That coin will win regardless of the level of premine retained to pay the bounties. I would hope the original CN developers could be paid. Communism sucks.

The CryptoNote coins at this time all have a problem that they are too difficult to mine and use.

The are not CPU only. They are not anonymous because they don't obscure the IP address and Tor is a honeypot.

They do nothing to decentralize pools. Two Bitcoin pools control more than 50% of the network.

There are many development issues that need to be addressed, e.g. decentralized exchanges.

I suspect there is no way you get there without a premine to pay development costs. I mean we are talking about man-months or man-years of development. In my opinion (as a person who has developed million user commercial software projects), we can't just take some ByteCoin C code and slap a few tweaks on it and release it and expect to complete all the development work that needs to be done.

Hi,

Will you use Github as development tool and project coordinator or just a repository to store the final code? I want to submit bug reports, suggestions, improvements? What should I do?
Yes, GitHub is a primary dev tool,at this moment it is used more as a version control, later will be used as bugtrack and wiki, why not.
At first weeks after start i think there will be a lot of bugs and any help would be welcome, so fill free to post issues and even bug fix;)

Who is we?
That's easy anonymous devs of honeypenny.  Bcn are anonymous and so is cryptonote
Absobloodylutely! Smiley

To be more clear - HP is a two devs at this moment. One more familiar with core and network, another prototyping GUI and made support for MacOS.

in keccak_m_rnd, can you explain the if(i!=0)? the following block is run everytime except when rsizw==0, in which case i stays at 0 and cb is never called.
did you mean if(ll==0) perhaps?
Thanks!
But bug was a little different: cb was always called, because "i" was always == rsizw.
Anyway, it's wrong behavior, fixed.

I think that we need to mailboxd to read and store such alert history. Is such alerts stored in blockchain?
