There's no 'outsiders' here, if you're a BBR holder then you're part of the community
Our development plans will be made public soon.
You're more than welcome to join the team meeting on Monday, just shoot me a PM. That invitation is also open for anyone else that wants to join our development efforts and provide technical value to the planning session. I want to include as many potential contributors from the community in this process and also after the project reveal. After all, this is a community project.
Thanks for the openness ... sounds interesting ... if only time would not be in such short supply ...
But for what it's worth, I write down a sketch of the result of my brainstorming. (Don't trust a random poster with less than a dozen posts too much, however.)
As I wrote already, it is based on my assumption (which may be false, who knows) that the technological differences between current and future Boolberry are simply too great to introduce it in the form of a
single program that is able to "smoothly sail over a hard fork block height", so to say.
For the following let's call current Boolberry
Boolberry Classic. A first hard fork brings to life its successor,
Boolberry Intermediate, and the second hard fork introduces the real destination,
Boolberry NT (for "new technology", of course).
Boolberry Intermediate is a true hard fork: A new version for transactions forces people to decide whether they follow and install it, which is a "Yes" vote for the whole endeavor, or whether they reject it and want to stay Boolberry as it is - a "No" vote.
Boolberry Intermediate is basically the current codebase, fully compatible, but with some crucial code added to manage the switchover to the new, incompatible blockchain: It is programmed to flat-out refuse adding any more transactions at and above the height for the second hard fork, so that basically the old chain can be "stopped" in an orderly way.
Furthermore, some yet-to-design mechanism would make it highly improbable that there will any competing chains in the last few blocks before the second hard fork height, of all things. Maybe be a single, temporary and single-purpose Boolberry masternode that is the only one with the power to mine the last few blocks, to really minimize the danger that the old chain ends in disagreement?
With the old chain "stopped", Boolberry NT can pick everything up and continue.
So that's my two-hardfork idea. If the introduction of Boolberry Intermediate fails, it's clear already rather early on that the project in the planned form does not fly, which I see as positive because it allows adjustments. If it succeeds, you have installed the necessary mechanisms for the switchover.
