Is there a roadmap/desiderata for future Burstcoin development?
-
Please be more specific.
Roadmaps are so 2015 and never fit - as you can see at burst.press .I'm interested in the community's views about what the highest-leverage software improvements to Burst would be, in terms of improving adoption and value. If a software developer were to commit to a three-month Burst-related project, which project would you choose to raise Burst's trading value, and why?
-
@Lexicon hahah ok ok I get it - roadmaps are lame and annoy the devs
-
Well since we're talking about roadmaps and nice-to-have features...
What I really would like to see is some kind of Burst lending feature. So you put BURST in a loan and you get each day interest payments or (more Poloniex style) you provide a loan for some time and after that period you get your money back + interest. This all automated in a nice graphical interface.
Instead of selling, some people would tend to keep their BURST on this platform growing in value AND getting some additional interest.

@coventry Since you asked,
#1 Mobile mining - a bare-bones wallet/mining app anyone can install on their phone, enter a password to setup, and start mining with. Dead simple, like breadwallet. I repeat, DEAD simple. Like breadwallet. Hide assets/DGS/crowdfunding, all that crap behind some "advanced features" menus or better yet leave it for version 2. Have the app handle everything - contact a faucet to get first coin to assign reward, navigate pools, etc. Get the user started using Burst, seeing a number increase on their phone.
#2 Desktop mining - Same. Get people mining. Burst has an incredible advantage in that ANYONE can mine using any old piece of crap PC, as long as they have storage and an internet connection. And yet we're not taking advantage of it. You need to fiddle with too much crap to get started. I want my grandmother to mine Burst while she's connected to America Online. Gamify mining - the more storage they allocate, the more their Burst score grows each day. (I've actually got some ideas along these lines but I'm working on another Burst project now.)
Unfortunately, both of the above are I believe beyond the capabilities of most lone developers with 3 months of free time. But I'd love to be proven wrong.
-
@FlippyCakes Does burst really need more mining? Has anyone estimated the cost of the hardware necessary to double-spend it? Seems more likely that the best developments would involve some kind of asset or service built on the protocol, or some kind of usability improvement.
-
@coventry I would throw resources behind cross-chain transactions. I think the value of these can not be understated. Done correctly, it could turn Burst into a "hub" coin, attractive to anyone dealing with any kind of cryptocurrency who doesn't like dealing with online exchanges (which is like everyone, right?). A coin that positions itself as infrastructure for other coins... that should boost market price a bit.
@FlippyCakes The idea of game-ifying mining... now that one I really like. To me, it's already a game. And a really fun one at that. Everybody wins and I can't lose.
-
Burst doesnt Need more miners currently thats for sure - 70-80% or around of that are already mined, yes the last coin will be mined somewhere 2027 if (IF) at current rate or the the coin had already died to there, 10 years is a fecking Long time.
To get the coin Progress it would Need plenty of other things.
- a dedicated dev Team working with not against each other, stealing their code/dev donations against each other and all that happened latey because there is bigger fish to fry. I understand who the core developers are on both sides...
-a concrete Roadmap/Plan what is going to be happen in the next 3/6/12 months to attrack new Investors. Compared to the professionality of some other coins offering Burst Looks like a clownhouse! To give a concrete example im currently mining 25TB just for the sake of it because I was bored and could bring in another 200 TB from Investors if Id really want to easily- - question is do I want to look like a mug towards them?
-the whole asset Exchange Thing is nice to have. Being a heavily Betfair Trader some x years ago the whole asset Exchange currently is just a joke, whos gonna use that seriously?
And the list goes on.
-
@sevencardz, @Marc, thanks. These are interesting directions.
Has anyone tried atomic cross-chain transactions with Burst?
What are the problems with the current asset exchange?
-
@SvenE
Is there a way to work with poloniex to get burst on the lending section?
-
@mrgoldy: honestly I don't know, but it's an interesting question! :)
I've raised the question with Poloniex support (I didn't mention BURST in particular) and I'll post their feedback in this thread once they reply.I guess a first requirement would be a lot of volume.
-
@coventry Great question, imo a mobile app that would bring the marketplace up to and beyond "ebay standard" would have the greatest benefit. It would trigger wide scale adoption and trickle down effect would be huge for miners, traders and creators.
-
@coventry There are no Problems , maybe I have been misunderstood on this.
Its just not very convinient to trade assets with the Interface - slow, poor Options (no stop loss feature, no bots - currently (?) etc.. Its poor liq (which is also not a Problem of the AE but of the Investors willing to Show up) and Price finding with a bit/sell spread of some 100s% on some assets is really hard - what is the "real" value of an asset if the best sell offer eg. is 50 and the best bid offer is 12 ?
Then again, the AE is not meant to be a daytraders/ticktraders dream (but a very powerful Feature as it could convert virtually ANY Kind of value into BURST and vice versa) and thats where I came from with my last post - sorry for any misunderstanding, my mistake.

Couldn't agree more. :(
-
no any development that will suit the new miners or 90% of miners , benefit of mining burst is limited to some groups here E, G aDAM E.T.C
-
@cashgold What do you mean?
-
The big miners = guys who started the whole Thing and thus /or are in from the very early start, thus each Holding virtually MILLIONS of Burstcoin are crowetic, haitch, maybe lex, prob. some other Devs as dawallet and a couple of guys I prob. forgot to mention here.
Then theres Adam from "the other side" (the other Forum ) plus a Dev Focus who is around since roughly 1 year (Focus for sure longer)(while the founders of the coin are around roughly 3 years since 2014).
Also reckon that back at that time buying /mining Burst was really REALLY cheap, so with a Price back then of what, 20 Satoshis or the like an Investment of just a couple of Thousands Dollars would mean you would hold worth prob. a 100.000$ when converted in/from Burst.
All These involved Players have increased their stake and earnings in the meantime by issuing assets (and in some cases let them go bancrupt in the meantime LOL).
To come back to Topic a Roadmap one way or another is an absolute MUST one way or another.
Crypto is a fast market, but no matter if old School economy or blockchain 1.0, 2.0.
If you want to attrack new Investors/customers/participiants u Need to have a serious Approach, some Kind of stability,.
If you dont, you 100% will end up with the short time traders, the frauds, Ponzis and Gunslingers out there.. u know who you are :-)

I don't disagree, but there are two ways to look at it. @Marc couldn't have come onto this forum (looking at his sign up date anyway) at a more controversial time. The unprofessionalism, name calling, etc (mostly from the other side)... and yet as we sit here today the community is growing and the price is going up. 6 - 8 months ago it was much more cordial and quiet around here... but BURST's price was also at a fraction of what it is today.
Not to say the controversy is good for long term... but an optimist might say look what BURST is doing DESPITE the controversy. Imagine when thing settle down and people begin to really focus making BURST great?
I'm not a fan of BN but they can do their thing (gamers, gambling, whatever) and this side can put out it's own message on BURST. I hope the shitty behavior stops... but there's room for both... quite frankly I hope to see many more BURST sites pop up in different languages etc.
-
@burst1 100% in agreement. I love BURST, but I hate what is going on.
Can't wait for all the flaflafla to be finally over and we can just have fun BURSTing.
-
Does burst offer a similar function of smart contracts like ETH have?

This is true, but as a someone who only cares about development and the future of the coin, BOTH sides have acted childishly. Yeah, the insults from the other side have been more colorful and perhaps more extreme, but when a post over here calls someone over there a "fatass" and then the lead developer of the coin posts a link to the post over there to antagonize that person... yeah. Grown men do not act like that.
Maybe I'm just older than a lot of people here and have more internet (Usenet) arguments under my belt, but nothing good ever comes of name-calling and insults. You've heard the phrase "never argue with an idiot in public?" I'm not calling anyone an idiot, but if the other side wants to be childish, let them be childish by themselves. Newcomers to Burst don't care who insulted who first. Take the high road.
I still have high hopes for the coin BUT they are tainted by the last few months.
