Is there a roadmap/desiderata for future Burstcoin development?
-
Following up on the responses here. @crowetic @IceBurst @Lexicon
The creator of Burst used to have a roadmap of future development for Burstcoin. Is anyone maintaining such a document now?
I'm particularly interested in cogent arguments that this or that new feature will increase Burst's appeal and utility.That question led me to burst.press, which is the most current such document I've found, but seems a bit old.
-
I would also like to see something like this published for the public to see and for the devs to have concrete goals...
-
There are many layers of development going on in parallel now.
Protocol
Implementation
Usability
Adaption
Pools
Services
....
Please be more specific.Roadmaps are so 2015 and never fit - as you can see at burst.press .
I also want to add that low layer development doesn't affect the price upwards as I can tell from my experience with Burst.
-
@daWallet "so 2015" lol
Good point on how hard it can be to fit within a map though. Still think it would be good to have something publicly available, so that people can see us check off the boxes.
-
@k.coins just put up a picture with my face with 2 thumbs up. thats technically a road map atm. feels like everyone has driven over it the past week :')
-
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?
