Wow, so many changes coming up. Will it still be the same coin? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus

(also, will there be confusion with an old copycoin? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/dbl-doubloons-pirate-currency-206361)

Just so everyone knows about this, you can get list of pools from http://explorer.mining.blue/en/#pools

Not looking for an exit or liquidity, just the free advertisement that the listing sites will show, this is a lot less expensive than ads.

Yes you are right it would attract transitory people and there may be an opportunity to attract higher quality people

I would say that right now our biggest problem is still the exchanges and waiting for a bigger one

Please don't take this the wrong way, but your comments mark an era that is behind us, and we need to regain peoples trust organically, and being on the biggest gainers list for the day attracts transitory investors at best.

I think there is clearly a consensus that we all believe in the leadership (b4h4mu7), and the team that he has put together and we are in this for the long haul. 

Price movement / manipulation is irrelevant in achieving our mutual goal of communicating value to the market and being a contender for the top spot in the privacy coin space.  The new signatures are one of the highlights of the project and basically make Monero look obsolete in comparison.

The advancements that have been made will attract investors, users, and a sense of community; price will follow accordingly.


If you are looking to exit, which is the only reason why you would desire such attention, PM me your price.  Perhaps we can make this easy for both of us.

Respectfully.

Rank 160, back in the top 100 at 55,000 satoshis (.00055000 btc)

It is free advertisement.

People with big asks on the order book, consider waiting for a different time to actually liquidate, your patience will be rewarded.

Thank you for kind words.
I can confirm that we will be able to launch new trading pairs for boolberry brand without any delay.
Also please bear in mind our exchange was made with speed and safety in mind so all deposits are set to be credited once exchange is sure there is no risk of double spend.
Btc for example after 1conf. In some cases if fee paid properly after 10 minutes.
Gbytes takes no more than 4 minutes to be credited while bittrex usually takes 10-15 minutes.
Ltc is usually confirmed within first few minutes and eth also.

Also if anyone need escrow please contact me I will be happy to do this at 0% rate untill markets are opened.

Also I will push to create more.than 2 markets for this coin.
 
I strongly suggest to check our speeds and how our exchange handling deposits and withdrawals. There is videos on youtube with speed of gbyte deposits and you can be assured rest is done in similar manner.

b4h4mu7

can you elaborate on the payment ID part? It says its getting rid of the payment ID requirement, does that mean there are no payment ids in the new system?

I would like the ability to send encrypted messages on the blockchain in a single transaction, this had been a lacking feature in Monero

you've got my support!

Hi!

How many transactions have you already done?
And what exchange are you talking about by the way?

b4h4mu7 it's impressive.if it comes to fruition it will be one of the top10/top20 currencies.

Thanks for the heads up and good job reviving BBR

I want to buy some boolberry!

I've got to tell you, it is one of the fastest exchanges I've used! BBR transfers out take less than a minute, and BTC in is only 2 confirmation.  They've got my support, but new is new, and I can appreciate your concern. 

That being said, I am impressed with their execution, especially for how new they are, and I've had nothing but a positive experience. 

Did you say you are buying or selling?  Cause I'm looking to buy, PM me.

Thank you

Will already existing aliases carry over?

Welcome back criptix,

S1lverfox has a new exchange cryptochangex.com and also runs a successful bitcoin escrow service. You can check his rep (https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/s1lverbox-152126). I spoke with his developer earlier and he's promised trading by Friday. In meantime, I'm sure S1lverfox would be open to doing an escrow for anyone who has trust issues with stocks.exchange. Also, I'll try and get a progress report from kucoin.com. I spoke with them last night and they said they're still working on it. Apparently while the executives were on vacation the developers were busy releasing Android and iPhone applications so hopefully we get some progress from them.

Hi guys,

good to see BBR alive again

If anyone wants to sell BBR just send me pm! I would rather not use stocks.exchange.

We were going to wait for Kucoin to list BBR but now that relations with supporting services have been normalized we decided to get the project reveal out before the month of December. This is so that our work is on everyone's radar during the upcoming holiday period. Although we are still refining the some of the designs we’d like to share what we have so far.

First, I’d like to personally thank everyone who has stuck by the project during this rough patch without an exchange. I’d also like to thank all the researchers, developers, designers and other contributors that have stuck with the project during this period. It shows a real commitment to the future success of this project. I’d also like to thank CZ for making himself available to resolve any technical questions related to the project and provide sound advisement in other areas related to the project. We hope to see him join us in this adventure.

When we first approached this project our main priority was to fix the database issue although once the decision was made to use the latest version of Bytecoin as a base for the hard fork it became clear that we’d have to do a lot more to gain a foothold in the competitive privacy vertical. This included recruiting a top tier team of researchers and developers to help us achieve something truly unique. We looked at the entire protocol with a healthy skepticism to see where we could improve. This effort ended up snowballing into a complete overhaul the Cryptonote protocol.


To mark this new era for the project we’ll be rebranding from Boolberry[BBR] to Doubloon[XDB] when we fork to the new codebase. This will be a fresh start for the project with improved branding and marketing efforts. We chose the name Doubloon since it has a significant history in numismatics as one of the first decentralized currencies used during the time of colonial expansion before the introduction of the Miller Dollar. https://coinsite.com/brasher-doubloon/




We initially brought Dr. Fabien Coelho on board to peer review the Cryptonight and Wild Keccak algorithms to see if they could be improved and also to review other promising algorithms as candidates to replace WC. We discovered the MTP algorithm design by Biryukov et al. of Equihash and Zcash fame. This is the same algorithm planned for integration into ZCoin project. Professor Coelho spent the last 4 months reviewing and redesigning that algorithm which has now taken the form in a hardened version called Itsuku.

Our research into designing and peer reviewing this algorithm has been shared with the ZCoin team as part of their bounty program as an attempt to unify and peer review the design. Marc Bevand has also been crucial is helping with these efforts.

One of the primary benefits of Itsuku is that the miners bear the resources burden while verifiers do not. This is a true egalitarian mining algorithm and unlike the current CN mining algorithms, one that has seen a substantial amount of active research and peer review from within the academic community. Dr. Coehlo is a professor of Computer Science at the prestigious MINES ParisTech, PSL Research University. His research into Merkle Tree Proofs and Proof-of-work algorithms dates back to 2007 before Bitcoin was launched. It goes without saying he is a true pioneer and leader in this field.

A few of Fabien’s student have written a Python implementation that can be used a reference for anyone interested in exploring the design. Our C++ implementation will be made public in the near future along with GPU miner contest we’ll be holding to make sure everyone has access to the same competitive mining software.

A combined effort from leading professors around the world has resulted in the next generation of ring signature based privacy. We have advanced this area of research to pioneer ring signatures of an O(log n) size where N is the number of members in the ring. This improvement reduces the size by orders of magnitude resulting in a 91.8% reduction with 1000 members and 99.984% with 1M members over traditional O(n) signatures deployed in CN based projects. This is a massive improvement for privacy and allows us to scale to millions of members in our rings for the same computation cost as 1000s of members in other CN projects.

Our Compact Confidential Transactions design provides transaction value privacy while reducing proof sizes to 86% over traditional CT design. This research is on going and if further improvements are made we should be able to reach the 90 percentile range with regards to efficiency.

In addition, our Cryptographers have also provided design for multi-signatures which will be included in the new codebase. Once the final CCT revision is completed we will be submitting our paper to IACR and releasing it to the general public.


In an effort to provide transmission privacy we’ve integrated the i2pd router into the new codebase with advisement from the i2p team. 1776, the developer spearheading this effort has made a massive amount of progress in this area of the project and we will have a true i2p design available at launch. He has a ton of experience in this area and has brought that into this project for peace of mind. In the future he will be submitting an improvement proposal to i2p team to increase efficiency.




We are currently working on an improvement to the original Stealth Address design deployed by Cryptonote that is resistant to compromise of several (up to m-1) private spending keys. This improvement is purely security based and will not impact privacy in any regard. We are still waiting for final peer review on this design and if cleared will be included in the new codebase and outlined in the upcoming whitepaper.


Staying true to the original Boolberry improvements pioneered by Zoidberg our developers have made sure that all those unique improvements are included in the new codebase. This includes address aliasing, pruning and the special output flag for guaranteed privacy that originally solved the CN's unlinkability flaw.

The project will also benefit from the improvements made to the CN protocol in v2 of Bytecoin which include depreciation of the payment ID requirement in place of Multi-Aggregate Addresses, RocksDB and various API improvements. Below is a example of the depreciation of the payment ID.





Boolberry pioneered the CN space by providing the first GUI for any CN project. We’ve continued this legacy by improving upon it with new features like address book, in wallet explorer and mining.




Lastly we've also built a new modern website that reflects the new branding, project information and also lists the team of contributors which will be sharing in the coming days.

All in all our efforts here represent the biggest overhaul of the protocol since the release of Boolberry and original release of Cryptonote. One could view our new design as gen 3 of the protocol. As stated earlier, we’ll be sharing our ShortRingCCT research in the form a technical white paper as soon as the revisions to the CCT component are finalized along with a condensed overview of the entire protocol.

Again, a big thanks to everyone who has stuck with the project during this period and another big welcome to all the newcomers who have joined the community. We're planning the hardfork for sometime in Q1 of 2018 to give everyone a chance who has BBR trapped on Poloniex and Bittrex to participate. We’ve got an uphill battle ahead of us and stiff competition but I believe our research and development will reestablish this project as the benchmark Cryptonote project.

Its still listed in inactive/delisted.  When you try to send bbr, it goes into withdrawl history (status) and the amount is deducted from balances.  Since it never gets released from poloniex, it looks like it is gone from the balance until you check history from the menu and scroll down to withdrawl.  Sometimes you can cancel the withdrawl and it goes back into balances.  Hope this helps - unfortunately, not a fix for poloniex support [sic] issue.

did polo just actually remove bbr from its coins list? i dont mean active list

It is not even visable now in the list under inactive??

Did everyone just get their bbr (which they could not withdraw because polo turned it off) stolen??

what can be done?

Coinmarketcap updated their BBR listing. I had a chat with their support yesterday although they still haven't removed the minergate explorer link.. Thanks everyone who put pressure on them to respond.
