/facepalmJust take the hashrate and run with it man. Only a real threat to his involvement with the project will actually bring him back. This is the same amount of time between my announcement and him saying something in 2016. Your announcement came out and within a week he's back? Okay.
Zoidberg has "intended to come back" since 2015. How long are you going to wait for him this time? Continue with the hard fork plans.
I tried a diplomatic approach when Boolberry's hashrate was 100 mhash with one pool taking up 75% of that hashrate, and many people THOUGHT I was going to try a contentious hard fork and even though I never suggested it, when it would have been EASY at that low hashrate and centralization.
People want Doubloon, on this chain. You are the only one here with faith in Zoidberg. You wrote about how you got burned continually, and then write how you are making way for him again!?!?
What am I reading? I'm seeing that the market has no faith in this
You have people's attention, the hashrate is here because you spearheading development means a Monero competitor built by your TEAM. Zoidberg spearheading development means one-man's vaporware, with no roadmap and a broken codebase, with Monero lightyears ahead.
You have the hashrate, you can do whatever you want with it, bring out the compelling effort with your team and he might even join you guys!
The boolberry original chain will have 200 mhash again and it won't be anyone's problem.
Hello Boolberry Community,
As stated in earlier posts, the primary motivation for us to hardfork to Doubloon was because of a complete lack of development or marketing efforts in the original BBR codebase. Like most of you here, I'm a BBR holder fed up with broken promises of renewed development. In the past, I sent 20,000BBR to Cryptozoidberg to restart development - a sum total greater than all other donations combined since the start of Boolberry. However, this didn't amount to anything at the time which led me to become more proactive in this community to prevent further loss of funds.
The abandonment of BBR has led the project to near death. We had no functional block explorer, no exchanges and no growth in the community. I'm happy to have been able to help resuscitate the project back to life along with the help of the community here. We now have one exchange listing with two more on the way. Through the help of the community both old and new proactive holders and to an extent an appreciation in value in Bitcoin, Boolberry now has reached new all time highs:
- Highest Hashrate ever
- Highest Marketcap ever
- Highest Price per coin ever
- Community rebuilding
All that said, these metrics are most likely the motivating factor for Zoidberg to return to Boolberry. Because a few days ago he reached out to me to share his intentions of coming back to the project full-time with a slew of new updates to the codebase. I won't go into detail what these improvements are, as that announcement should be reserved for him. Our conversations over the last few days have been very productive and I will continue to support his efforts and the project. This is best time ever for him to return to Boolberry as we have a growing community, exchange listings and a lot of attention on the cryptocurrency space. As one of the original CN projects there's also a lot of upside to him returning.
I've personally spent a tremendous amount of time, energy and capital to reboot this project and get it listed on multiple exchanges (some still pending) so I have a vested interest in the success of this project. As Boolberry holders my team and I will continue to support Boolberry in any way we can. However, we also have a tremendous amount of resources invested in Doubloon, so our main focus will be on developing Doubloon into what we perceive to be the benchmark CN project.
As it now stands our plan for Doubloon will be to launch as a new project without any ties to Boolberry blockchain. Those here who are interested in our technology are more than welcome to join us on that adventure. I've created a ANN thread to divert that conversation there. In the event Zoidberg's return doesn't materialize we will revisit the idea of a Bitcoin/Bitcoin Cash type split to protect all those who've came into the community as a result of our efforts.
New Doubloon ANN thread:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pre-ann-xdb-doubloon-privacy-evolved-2539743All in all, Zoidberg's return is a win for everyone here. We get active development from the original developer, new features (not related to Doubloon) and preserve the legacy of Boolberry. We also have a safety net in a possible BTC/BCH type split in the event it doesn't happen. It's a win on every level. I will continue to hold strong and see how things develop. I have high hopes for the future of this project.
Thanks all!
