Considering the fact i want to join the development of boolberry, what is the current situation?
Seems like not everyone is working on the same goal? Or at least not everyone is coordinated towards the same goal?
Boolberry is a cute project, but if its going to be usefull, there should be at least a common goal? Some coordination?
I mean its not that we need a million people to reach consensus. How many different groups are there? Is there any comunication/coordination between the developing groups?
A quick recap on project history and state of well being:
Basically the project had no active development for the last 3 years. There was a failed attempt at a takeover by 1block last year which didn't result in much but infighting in the community and the ticker change from BBR to XBB. After Boolberry was delisted from Poloniex I stepped up to hire developers to bring on to the project. We were planning to eventually migrate the BBR chain to a new codebase along with a rebrand to Doubloon. This effort motivated the original developer, Cryptozoidberg to come back to the project which is where we are right now. The project is still recovering from delisting by Poloniex and Bittrex but we are exploring exchange partnerships to resolve this issue.
As Zoidberg stated he has a bunch of unique features planned to be merged into Boolberry very soon. My team working on Doubloon are pivoting away from the hardfork plan and also ring based privacy towards a new system so our work on the ring signatures and Compact Confidential Transactions will end up going to waste. My proposal is for that research to be brought into Boolberry as a future milestone to make it a stronger competitor to Monero.
At present, the project suffers from huge overhead as all blockchain data is stored in RAM. It requires around 6GB to run.. part of Zoidberg's planned features will fix this issue along with other unique features. At the moment fixing the DB issue is far more important than anything else since it will make exchange listing easier to swallow if they don't need 6GB to run a node.
