Ok guys who are going to open Twitter and Facebook Boolberry profiles?

there are existing ones that other people control.

CryptoZoidberg controls one Twitter account and won't update it, someone else controls another Twitter account


I am considering launching our own Boolberry twitter accounts and websites, but they would need different maintainers

Boolberry Network Address Sept. 28th 2016:

Let me know what kind of information you would like to see in these bi-weekly updates!

- 1blockologist


I would want to read about actual, verifiable value you created. For example (white) papers by your company, blog posts and code commits - as in actual work on the product.
It's nice to read that you're trying to get BBR enlisted in more exchanges, or looking to get engaged with Azure. And I see the point that "community work" and networking is also important. But in the end, what interests me most is the raw product.

I understand that you want to see code commits to the open source Boolberry project and you will have to wait.

You are greatly discounting the value of confidence in an undervalued project as seen by the hash rate increases, competition amongst mining pools to provide better service, and the value of projects that have no business on github such as the scripts and virtual machine configurations on Azure that will make Boolberry easier to use.

Boolberry Network Address Sept. 28th 2016:

This is a summary of information from my perspective, as well as status updates.

The Boolberry network has gained in both health and decentralization since I announced stewardship over the project.

One month ago, the network had a hashrate of 250 megahashes, with one pool having 75% of that hashrate with unreliable uptime.

Today, the network hashrate is 760 megahashes. With several pools functioning on the network as well as solo miners.

Mining and daemon software continues to plague users with stability issues.

The added confidence and anticipation has left market cap hovering around $1,000,000 up from $500,000 when we took stewardship over the project.

Several prior developers have offered some collaboration with the vision. Clintar worked on the Boolberry in the past and is helping analyze commit changes from Monero to help merge the database code in.

CryptoZoidberg has indicated that he has already done the database code in another project and would be merge it in to Boolberry.

This requires further collaboration, because Clintar and I are going to be modifying Boolberry code one way, and CZ indicates he already has a way. We aren’t going to wait but will follow up with CZ on what he is working on.

Since we announced stewardship, CZ the prior steward of Boolberry has returned from long absence and has been offering some guidance in the project.

The Blockchain Development Company has been researching Boolberry infrastructure improvements. It has Microsoft Bizspark credits which allow the company to run servers in Microsoft Azure. The investigation was to see what would be involved with allowing people to connect to a Boolberry daemon without needing the whole blockchain on their local computer. Or possibly creating a service like MyMonero, until the blockchain database code is merged in.

There are ongoing efforts to get Boolberry listed on Bitsquare which would allow for OTC Boolberry exchange.

Windjc is helping operate a manual OTC Boolberry exchange with trusted escrow agents.

Outside of the cryptocurrency community, Boolberry has a very nonthreatening name while harboring very advanced opaque but auditable technology for transferring value. Investors like it and skeptics ignore it. This is very great branding, compared to other technologies like Shadowcash and Darkcoin and Darkwallet which faced a myriad of branding issues. We will be sticking with Boolberry going forward.

Our very public efforts have gotten the attention of many influential and well funded people in the cryptocurrency community that support our efforts. We will continue to form partnerships with them to support the Blockchain Development Company vision.

The infrastructure updates so far precede updates to Boolberry code, but many people have asked for binaries so we will pursue creating binaries and hosting them on github.

More and more people are using our RUNE EDITION of the Boolberry client, so with network sentiment in our favor we expect to engage the community much more and encounter no issues when it comes to releasing bigger changes to Boolberry in line with the development roadmap.

The reddit is still inactive.

The twitter feeds are still inactive. These things don't look great from an outside perspective.

Communities around the world are still translating Boolberry information into their own languages. Getting good translations for the research paper itself has proven to be a challenge.

Let me know what kind of information you would like to see in these bi-weekly updates!

We expecting it today. The interest is growing

Why does "later this week" have to mean today?

1Blockologist stated that he would be aiming to release today (Wednesday).

There's another point that got my attention. 1blockologist was asked about his personal github account, in order to assess his coding capabilities, but he never answered that question. Is there anything new on this? I would be happy to see some previous cryptocoin related projects - be it technical or non-technical ones.

The paper that 1blockologist published is mostly financial/pump material with a few simple technical stuff. I doubt he's an expert coder, but that doesn't mean anything: One can hire a coder. I mean if you are going to go for a multi-million valuation, what's gonna stop you from tapping the resources that you need? 5-10-20k usd?

You don't want any coder for this kind of job. You want someone way above average. $250k/yr is what a smart coder makes full time in Silicon Valley. Ok, it can be part time and no taxes since it's crypto, but you're looking at a $50k budget most likely.

If the stated target for the marketcap is 50mn USD, it should not be an issue for 1blockologist.

Very practical, right? Just make the improvements and be satisfied with a 5,000% ROI without creating delusions about a reserve currency or e-commerce leader

We are practically turning Boolberry into a dividend producing asset with the masternode plan, we've seen this story before

Just keep reminding people that create unrelated qualifications for achieving this plan.

Aiming for our first bi-weekly missive later this week

you can mine at suprnova

You can, but your miners will be stuck at some point requiring manual redownload of scratchpad. Dunno it doesn't work automatically like with other pools.


The problem is actually that the clients don't really redownload the scratchpad.bin via http but rather they request more and more blocks via json-rpc, via the miner connection from the pool with every round. At some point this request is so big that is bogs down the pool connection because every miner is requesting > 100 blocks via RPC rather than via http...

This is also the problem which other pools considered as "DDoS"... It's no DDoS, it's just a sloppy written miner Smiley

On Suprnova you can request max 50 old blocks via RPC, if you request more your connection gets dropped and you have to redownload the scratchpad.bin which is then good for the next 50 Blocks if the miner program doesn't handle the updates well.

If I get it right, we need someone to patch the miner, so it stops flooding JSON-RPC. It's no good for miners to produce invalid shares or just do nothing waiting for auth.

BTW why the miner can't download scratchpad from your pool if it's old or non-existent? Have to do that myself.


Yep, right.

That's actually THE question Smiley It would be ideal if the miner would just re-download the scratchpad.bin on a regular basis.. like when it's older than X days or so
At startup, miner checks scratchpad age and re-downloads if it is older than 3 days.

My other mining rigs run for weeks without restarts unless there is a power outage or something like. It's not the same for Boolberry by far.

Hey guys,

I've just taken a look at the commits to the new github repo (here: https://github.com/BlockchainDevelopmentCompany/boolberry/commits/master)
And there is not much happening, yet. Besides some version renaming, that introduces rune, and some new checkpoints.

I like the spirit here, but I really would like to see some new code. I assume github will not just be used for showcasing/transparency, but also for the active development?



Have you looked at the code?  It's not just as simple as pulling in some commits from other cryptonote coins.  CZ made some very significant changes to the original bytecoin code.  Boolberry is an entirely different beast.  It's definitely not an insignificant task to alter the code.  But I do agree that there should be some development beyond just creating a github account and adding checkpoints.  It's still too early to tell whether or not this is a serious attempt to develop Boolberry or just smoke and mirrors to pump the coin.  I'm holding off judgement for now and will watch what transpires over the next month or so.  

I was only referring to the changes made in 2016. But of course you're right, this is a non-trivial task.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to enlist CZ to do some changes, if needed. After all he stills gets his fee, and it would benefit him if that fee is higher in price due to development.
He's planning on incorporating a lot of things from his other project, so I'm not sure if current course is prudent.

I was wondering about that as well.  CZ has stated that he's not abandoned BBR and will be incorporating changes in the future.  This "takeover" seems premature.
