Some people are sending some rude PMs about us abandoning Boolberry. This is most likely due to confusion here.
To clarify once again, we are not abdandoning Boolberry:
A) Zoidberg has a bunch of unique features coming into Boolberry.
Since we touched this topic I would like to make an early statement. The official announcement is on the way still, but we have big plans for BBR improvement quiet soon. We will bring database, hybrid POS/POW transactions verification, multisig and few other cool features to the project. I will keep you posted with updates, but we already have a strong development and marketing team and look forward to upcoming changes.
Zoidberg
B) The main features of Doubloon were the
[1] ShortRingCCT work and the
[2] Itsuku algorithm.
[1]Ivan, the developer that has been working on this area of the project for the last 6 months has expressed a desire to port this over into Boolberry's codebase. This is understandable as he's been working on it for 1/2 of the year. Since we are pivoting to a new zero knowledge system we won't be using this anymore. This week Ivan started working on serialization to bring ShortRingCCT into Boolberry. After Zoidberg has brought in his new features we will bring this into Boolberry.
This is a decentralized project and the overwhelming majority of the community want this system included in Boolberry. To avoid any future splits in the community with regards to ShortRingCCT and to make BBR a stronger competitor in the privacy vertical, it will be in best interest of Zoidberg to adopt it as a future milestone after the more pressing concerns are addressed.
We've followed a very professional and methodical R&D cycle with everything we've developed in Doubloon. Best industry practices in algorithm development start on paper then after peer review and refinement cycles, the research eventually matures enough to become code. This is the correct model to follow instead of just writing software and hoping it works out.
[2]Itusku will be reserved for Doubloon. This makes the most sense for both projects. Our new mining algorithm deserves to be launched on a new coin along with our new privacy protocol. All reference coins have launched with their own unique PoW algorithms i.e Bitcoin, Bytecoin, Boolberry, Ethereum, Zcash etc so we're in good company on this and following industry standards.
This is not a negative for Boolberry because it keeps the mining community united with Wild Keccak. Nobody has to worry about the potential investment in new hardware, like Tbearhere, who has spent the last 4 years optimizing his cards for Wild Keccak.
TL:DRIn short, this is the best direction for the project. Instead of two chains going in two separate directions, we will have one BBR chain with the best of both worlds. Zoidberg's features and ShortRingCCT as a future milestone. Doubloon is pivoting towards a trustless zero knowledge system so we won't be using the ring research anymore.
I hope this helps clarify the situation for everyone.
