Blocknet, The internet of blockchains / XBridge / true cross-chain P2P
Could be interesting for CGB. I'm not too technical so can't say if it's legit or doable. What you guys think?
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annblocknet-truly-decentralized-exchange-token-ecosystem-infrastructure-829576Obviously the reason I post this is to discuss options for CGB to hook on to some of the latest technology. If people think that only the newer coins are interesting because of new algo's and features they could be proven wrong. While those coins are still in the diaper they often are a very risky investment. CGB has been solid tech since mid 2013, a good foundation to develop upon. You can build a wonderfull castle and have great dreams, but if that castle is build on quicksand ...., it's gone. On the other hand, when there is real innovation in crypto's then CGB can jump on the bandwagon. There are several projects that try to combine multiple cryptocurrencies into one system or network, it looks as if the clones are trying to become one again, it's almost metaphysics. I'm just wondering if such collaborations are the way to go for CGB.
Even a project as this is still in early stage or they are copycats from supernet. At all times we should avoid anything centralized or unproven.
As always, thank you kindly to BTCat for your constant involvement and dedication to CGB and our community! You are truly a supporter who is worth his weight in Bullion
The Blocknet is a very interesting idea and something that crossed the Core Team's radar as well. Further research is needed though and I personally would like to see how this develops a bit more before tying CGB to the project. We have limited resources and a full plate of projects in the works right now which I feel are the right priority direction for CGB in order to stand on its own as a leader and innovator. Joining forces with some creative and successful projects occurring in the community should always be considered and pursued if the litmus test of legitimacy and integrity are passed. Lets keep an eye on this one and see how things play out. Sadly there are a lot of deceitful entities involved in this space, so in my opinion trust has to be earned over time and is hazardous to give out without proper vetting.
Changing gears, I would like to reiterate to the community that the new client is close to completion. This is very exciting for us as well as for members in the community as this involves providing new to CGB features and better client performance overall. On that note, I would like to request assistance from a couple of members from the community to assist in beta testing of the client to make 100% certain all bugs are worked out before public release. If you are interested and have some free time to assist with this, please respond on this thread and I will follow up with you. Note, we are not looking for a large group and will lean toward selection of those who have been active supporters in the selection process.
Thank you all for your involvement and support on this trailblazing journey thus far!

BTCat, as ever, always a trailblazer for CGB. Finding and beating down new avenues, opportunities and incentives. Respect.
I do although think CGB has the fundamentals and ability to stand alone as simply a store of value. No fancy frills. Pure simplicity. Simply digital bullion. No multiple unsteady exchanges, no hyped up tag on start up crypto ventures, and a vast array of merchants accepting and immediately converting CGB to BTC then fiat.
As elambert has stated in a previous post, simplicity is the key. The ease of use of the software, and an unconfused understanding that you are buying something that you put away for a rainy day and not think about (except for staking).
Too much is misunderstood about CGB. Too many people think of it as a coin, something you spend. It is digital gold. Everyone reading this thread knows this, so there is no need to make it something it is not. All that needs to be done is to make it the easiest digital asset for people to hold and understand. Nothing more. No bows and ribbons. CGB is simply Cryptogenic Bullion, the best thing to do with it, is to invest in it, hold it, and not make it any more complicated.
