Boolberry is a cryptocurrency based on CryptoNote technology. Boolberry's major benefit is that it provides much stronger privacy for both the senders and receivers of transactions. It does so by ensuring that receivers are anonymous (the destination of a transaction can only be determined by its real recipient) and transactions cannot be linked to a single sender. Instead, each transaction could have many equally possible senders, and an attacker cannot determine which one it was.



Boolberry improves upon Ordinary CryptoNote technology in several ways. Boolberry offers improved anonymity through unlinkable outputs. Boolberry reduces the size of the block chain, the global ledger of all transactions, by pruning the ring-signatures. This provides over a 55% reduction in block chain size. These features are found in no other CryptoNote based cryptocurrency.



A few other exclusive features are an easy-to-use GUI wallet, address aliasing and the ability to send network alerts.











Private

Boolberry exchange protocol supports multiple unique one-time addresses protecting receiver from being exposed

Untraceable

With ring signature technology Boolberry keeps transactions untraceable by blending a message within an equiprobable group

Solving blockchain bloat

Boolberry's unique pruning mechanism trims old ring signatures that are covered by checkpoints

Defending against asics

Boolberry employs a Wild Keccak algorithm designed specifically to keep real miners in the game

User friendly

Boolberry wallet app will finally bring an easy-to-use experience to Cryptocurrency. It's unique alias system gives users the option to replace long wallet addresses with a simple alias, such as @yourname











Launch Date: 17 May 2014 16:00 GMT

Agree with you man. So many opinionated announcements that come to nothing, not to mention the banal scams.



But, to be clear - Cryptonote technology already released in Bytecoin project (do not be confused with the same named Bitcoin fork, meaning bytecoin.org - cryptonote-based project), and seems to be working, we belive it working.

And even with the belief in this technology, we took off rose-colored glasses and wrote Shortcomings

I'm wondering why such a promising (according to the whitepaper) technology didn't get much attention and acceptance in a two years period.

Same stupid name for a coin. My guess is these guys are out to destroy the Bytecoin (Cryptonote) reputation and eliminate competition by jumping early to aid implosion.

Exactly this we wrote in announce:

Quote ....Cryptonote represents absolutely new code, made from scratch,....



Let me explain our approach to hashing: main idea of cryptonote hash is to have memory consuming algorithm (2MB scratchpad) coupled with more complex instructions set - considered that it protects from ASIC. But it makes hash function works really slow, that is bad for connectivity - slower blockchain synchronisation (PoW for each block takes avr 400ms, because used to cover whole scratchpad), and it is bad for security - it is possible to make attacks via burning your CPU for nothing (sending of fake blocks).



We've decided to use blockchain as scratchpad (with salt of course) coupled with fast version of cryptonote hash(or not) (reduced scratchpad to 130kb, and with reduced scratchpad we able to reduce iterations count). It is two-phase hashing - in first we make extra-fast hash to discover pseudo-random data addresses (indexes), and in second: we do actually hash with the salt based on first extra-fast hash. Since blockchain is always grows up we belive that it will be almost imposible to make effective ASIC. On the other hand, it will make mining process effective with complete node, so we killing two birds with one stone - make ASIC-resistant hash and gets more full nodes in network (even with pools).



Hope this is clear. If not - feel free to ask.



PS: I'm very sorry for my terrible english, my native language pretty different as well as my way of thinking. So, i ask all native english speakers to forgive me)

Hope the language of ideas and "rocket since" will make mutual understanding more simple and easier.

Sorry, had to get that out of the way. Seriously though why HoneyPennies? It's just awkward is all.



Also.. why are you asking for arbitrary taxes? 10% to yourselves is a bit much . . but that's not my main issue because you said it was changeable and can be turned off.



My main focus is the % you've set aside for CryptoNote. Have you contacted them about that? Do they want a royalty fee? I don't see you've posted on their forum, so I'm just wondering if you're in contact with them at all.



Another concern here is that you will be seemingly making significant changes to the source. Have you passed any of the proposed changes through them? It's stated very clearly on their forum that they're both looking for and willing to help new implementations of CN. It would be weird to offer them royalties for something they don't agree with.



Wouldn't reducing the scratchpad and required iterations open this hash wide for easy GPU and ASIC mining? That seems counter-intuitive to what CN wants from what I was reading. I'm a little unclear of how you plan on implementing the hash apart from the short description here, so I'm at a large disadvantage.

We will use the same data primitives that are used when checking transactions in the block, to make it not slower compared to checking every transaction in the block.



Quote from: crypto_zoidberg on April 20, 2014, 12:34:37 AM Donation-based crowdfunding: the project will not have premine, instamine or other unfair launch. The project has open and transparent model of project financing: part of the emission (10%) is reserved for the development of the project, BUT the rate of emission of these coins will be controled by network participants (miners). Namely, miners will indicate the amount of coins to be given to developers in each block that they found. Maximum donation size for each block is determined by nominal donations formula, based on entire emission formula. This policy allows better communication between community and project development team. Finally if a miner is not happy - he can reduce donation to zero.

As a tribute to technology, we have fixed royalty percentage of donation, charged to the founders of Cryptonote.

I don't understand. You've given a number (10%) but also said it can be changed by miners. Is 10% the default that miners must deliberately change?



Good luck with this fork and thanks for supporting merge-mining. I hope to see more CN coins.[/list] This defeats the very purpose of CryptoNight. 2 MB is suitable for CPU L3 cache but too much for ASICs, making distribution more even because of accessibility. 400 ms is not a big deal since transaction speed is limited by the block time.I don't understand.

Disclaimer: I mine bitmonero.



Correct me if i'm wrong but on summary these are the biggest changes



1. The use of another hashing algorythm based on the blockchain, it should fix the slow bc syncing we experience in BCN & BMR.

2. 10% of total coins going through emission to the developers so they can do their job when drinking cocktails on the Bahama's. (in other words, 10% of each block goes into the devs pockets)

3. Mixing level of coins will always be greater then 0

4. Smaller blockchain because of dust removal

5. p2p broadcasting like used in Litecoin for sending messages through the blockchain

6. Mapping of addresses to short names for easy access





For the dev. Are you changing the way the blockchain is stored? Like write it directly to a db and not a full mem load? Correct me if i'm wrong but on summary these are the biggest changes1.

To be honest, you won't be taken seriously until you release binaries, osx source code, and a GUI.
