Dear friends!
I'm very sorry that made you wait a the "announcment".
First of all I want to say that I was very excited to see how the Boolberry (BBR) community resisted rebranding. I didnt post anything about it, but Im actually very impressed. I believe this process of community involvement made our brand stronger than ever. I want to say a big thank you for that!
During the last 6 months since Boolberry started, we have been working hard trying to make BBR usable and reliable, appealing and secure(coded "like there is no tomorrow" (c) by fluffypony). Its been hard work with lots of fun and lots of stress, but we survived tough times and we are strong. We now have a working unique stable crypto-currency, with a thriving and growing community.
According to current rate of BBR, 1% donation is as low as 750$ per month, it certainly does not look like a budget for an IT project (its not even enough for monthly survival of one person). All income was spent on project needs, shared with team, some part spent on bounties, on servers rent, etc.
Last week I spent many hours having discussions with a couple of investors, people who were ready to invest in a project where im involved as a core developer. We discussed different options, and you probably wont be surprised to learn that investors are interested in profits first and foremost. There were various suggested options, including things that required radical changes or even launching a completely new project. Well, it certainly didnt sound good for Boolberrys potential future success.
We was tried during last days to workout some acceptable approach for fundrising, but i finally rejected it, due to my own understanding of it and my own standarts, so this is completely my responsibility.
We planed different announce, but now announce is just about it.
That means that we'll keep looking for some way to get funds, and i'll keep active developmet of the project.
