Hello friends!
First of all i would like to thank everyone who contributed to BBR and made possible relaunch project! Especially i would like to say thanks for commitment from hashappliance of 50kBBR, Crypjunkie of 10kBBR and donation from b4h4mu7 20kBBR and for all efforts that he put to bring this project back to the game (we really wish him success with his Dobloon project).
As i was saying earlier - buying coins and investment in the project is a kind of different things for me. Between many many many different coins, especially this days, Boolberry launch was made without any ICO, premine or instamine, absolutely transparent with only 1% of mining tax, which was obviously not enough for funding project active development. With the huge traction of crypto industry that happened in last years everything (not only dev coasts, but also marketing, exchange listing fees etc) became more expensive and at the same time more valuable. For example listing on HitBTC coast about 20BTC, which is about 150kBBR at the current rate. As we counted project funds must be at least 500kBBR which is about 5% of all coins in circulations.
We was approached by group of holders wich is represented by hashappliance and now we in process of finalizing first round of investments. These funds would allow us to dedicate ourselves to this project including both marketing and development efforts.
We really hope that community will continue to support our work with donations on public basis - with new alias and view key published to track amount of raised funds.
We was discussing some ideas of fundraising and there was proposed different ways of getting this, including hard fork with increasing mining fees up to 20% or so one, but im pretty sure that this is wrong way and better to go with the way Monero do this - rising funds from community, and personally believe that community will support this as soon as they see constant active work on the project.
After we finalize agreement on initial round of investment we gonna announce here our roadmap with the plans for 2018 and deploy new website.
I personally would like to say thanks to everyone for interest, patience and support of this project despite long time of my absence!

Your 1% dev tax should have been enough to continue development, but by abandoning the project you destroyed the value of not only the dev tax but also the donations to the dev fund.
In contrast, Monero's dev fund donations are worth much more than when most of them were donated. That speaks to their competence plus wise governance, and your lack of those essential qualities.
What happened to Louisdor? Wasn't that supposed to support your research into making BBR proof of stake (or PoS/PoW hybrid)?
Hello!
Im glad to announce our project, that we were working on last weeks and keep working on. This is CryptoNote-based currency with first anonymous PoS engine(that use PoW as well).
This is the part of big project (which have codename Louisdor), that we do for my friends, so this is just technology announce and first rough implementation of CN-based PoS, and working network, this is more like proposal, so i shared this to get public review and feedback about PoS approach we gonna use.
The Louisdor project itself have a wide feature list and have a lot of development ahead, so we have a great team of talented people who worked on this, and expect to release it in the middle of spring.
According to my experience in bitcointalk forum, here is a lot of people who like to criticize my work, especially from Monero clan, so you guys is welcome to fight!
We have about 4-5 BTC of bounties for people who gonna find bugs/flaws in design or implementation: most serious critical flaw gonna get 2 BTC, next less critical 1 BTC, next 0.5 BTC and so on.
Brief description link(mini-whitepaper):
http://162.243.101.90/lui_share.pdfImplementation:
https://github.com/cryptobender/luiNotice: Implementation does not completely reflect mini-whitepaper description, it still in development, so i often do some commits and restart test network every 2-3 days. Atm we have network that running about of couple of days and seems to be okay.
Feel free to post any questions and ideas here or to PM.

I'm not mining anymore, but still hold some BBR. The long periods of silence with no releases makes me wonder what is cryptozoidberg collecting 1% of all blocks for? Not that it's a lot of money in terms of BTC, but is any work being done on the project to warrant 1% of all coins generated? I was never a fan of this donation/payment model, but I think especially lately it just looks like someone sweeping up loose change just for being (benevolent?) dictator for life.
Work is done on louis d'or. According to Zoidberg as its the same code, work on louis d'or will help BBR in the long run.
Apparently, the problem is lack of funds. Bitcrea used to work for BBR but had to stopped because of this.
Developping a coin is really expensive. THe monero core team put hundreds of bitcoin into it. But They did it from their own pocket.
