Over the last 5 months, I've funded this project without any support from investors. I've mostly compensated contributors in BBR(XBB) but also BTC as needed (due to the lack of liquidity from exchange delisting). I've only received a small amount of donations totaling around 300BBR and .1BTC. That said, the team has grown to 10 developers, 5 cryptographers, 2 graphics designers and other contributors working on the project in a private repository. Cryptozoidberg has been working with us in an advisory position due to his current development obligations. As his schedule permits he will eventually be able to join our efforts full time. Despite some of your feelings towards Cryptozoidberg, he is a great asset to this project and his knowledge of CN is deeper than anyone else on this forum. In that sense he is the Satoshi of CN.

Let me put little remark here:

1. I'm not involved in b4h4mu's project. They asked me just a few things, but I have an only misty idea about the project that they do. Hope it's gonna be something interesting.
2. I never claimed to join full time into it.

What I really promised is to get back to BBR, eventually and i still want to do that.

And i really appreciate all efforts of b4h4mu to put BBR to exchange.

Zoidberg

Let me also clarify the statements to the community here:

1. Zoidberg is correct, he hasn't made any commits to the new codebase. He's only been advising us with certain things, this is why I said he's been working with us in advisory position. We've been relying on our own scientists for algorithmic changes and peer review. That said, the team has definitely appreciated him making himself available for advice when we've needed it.

2. Zoidberg is also correct here. He showed interest in eventually joining an effort towards a renewed BBR, but he has obligations to some other project. This is fine with me, because we have a very capable team with their main obligation to this project. If he wants to contribute the door will always be open for him.

In the future, we'll be doing a full project reveal that will give everyone here clarity on what we've been working on and how we're proceeding. On Monday, we have a team meeting where we'll be finalizing the technical aspects of the transition to the new codebase. I've invited Zoidberg to the meeting, so he's more than welcome to join us.

When I originally made the update about the coinswap, we had an idea to either partner with an exchange or handle it through a team based effort. This method is centralized and would leave it open to some attack vectors, most notably exchange theft. Due to recent dealings with exchanges, most would be hard to trust with this task.

The new direction is to do a snapshot of BBR blockchain and import that into the new codebase. If this method is viable, the transition would be as simple as downloading the new client and importing wallet file. This idea is much more decentralized and removes potential attack vectors. It also has potential to save mined aliases but we will only be able to confirm this after the meeting. I know that's an issue for some here so we'll do our best to resolve that. The drawback is that the old BBR chain will continue to function, so there will be two chains. After the project reveal, we'll leave it up to community and general public on which chain they will support.

After the meeting on Monday we'll have complete clarity on this subject that we can share with the community.
