Social experiment and world’s first self-destructing currency turned one month old this weekend. The last thirty days have been nothing short of an explosion.

  • Over 18,000 people joined the social channels
  • Over 8,000 tokens burned
  • Over 7,000 transfers
  • Over 2,800 holders
  • Over 20,000 emails from participating individuals
  • Unofficial Russian and German telegram groups were created

While we would love to say this whirlwind has been a smooth ride, there have been countless obstacles and learning moments along the way.

On the first week, after a viral post on reddit, we had over 5,000 bad actors attempt to game the distribution process and forced us to redeploy a new verification system.

On the third week, we noticed a needed security upgrade for the smart contract that would unfortunately need a snapshot and redistribution of tokens.

Going into the fifth week, we expect there to still be many obstacles to overcome. Rather than hiding them, we plan to openly share these issues with the community as they arise. This is a community-powered project, and we want to lean on the talented individuals from within as much as possible.

One of the biggest misconceptions with the BOMB project is the “WE” behind it. While the original developers still have a strong passion for the original vision, BOMB has taken on a life of its own, and we cannot control the outcome; nor do we want to.

Anybody is free to interpret this experiment however they would like, and push it in any direction they please. “WE” is the community around BOMB pushing this idea forward in whatever direction desired. “WE” is the 10+ moderators who work around the clock on telegram for zero compensation.

In every sense of the term, Bomb is the anti-cryptocurrency project.

  • We will never accept money or compensation for this project.
  • We don’t have a white paper or road-map, and we are okay with this.
  • We aren’t promising anything other than to follow our own curiosity.
  • We are a decentralized community of people all around the world.
  • We aren’t trying to impress, just make something cool and worth sharing.

So many projects try to do so many things, and do most of them poorly. We aren’t about that. We are about doing one thing better than anyone else. Our vision is to create the deflationary currency of the decentralized world, and we are doing this with the most passionate group of people you will ever meet. We hope you join us.
