Topic: [ANN] BITGESELL - Store of value (Burn rate is 90% of tx fees) #realstoreofvalue - page 35. (Read 28066 times)

Great initiative to contribute to the Bitgesell project. I am a long time supporter of the project so I appreciate your work.

Are you sure you code correctly and the information that no block signaling for Taproot is accurate?

Because in the previous period to signal for Taproot lock-in, there were a few more blocks to get enough signal and lock it in.

I received mention of successful upgrade of a pool where Stratum v2 is used, but two other pools (our most active ones) just yesterday gave feedback that getblocktemplate needs to be fixed, so would test it and fix asap, then ping the pools
Nice adapted taproot.watch screen btw!

Round 2 of the weekly BGL lottery has ended. The results can be found here.
Some statistics:

Round 1:

• participants - 23
• number of BGL blocks per round - 12

Winners:

• 3meek
• AlexLvov
• mandor
• vv181

Round 2:

• participants - 35
• number of BGL blocks per round - 10

Winners:

• vv181
• mandor
• CryptocurencyKing
• Furious 7

Two participants win prizes for the second time running. If it were not for the blockchain data as a result of the draw, I would say that this does not happen

I'm trying to follow the Taproot signaling block using this: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/105854. It should do the job right?

Currently, there is still no block signaling for Taproot, assuming the above method which is used by Bitcoin could be applied to BGL.

BGL-cli getblockchaininfo | jq '.softforks | .taproot'

The awk script also returns no blocks of Taproot signaling.

I also fork the https://taproot.watch/ to match with the BGL taproot activation threshold.

ahh oops, sorry

Unfortunately, according to the terms of the lottery, your rank must be at least Member rank or above, or a Cooper Member. In addition, you specify the wrong data for participation.

Thank you!!

Sure! Happy to help newbies to increase their Rank!

can i get 1 merit pls? i want to participate too! 

On the first post it's stated
Block Reward = nFees*0.1 + GetBlockSubsidy()
it means that block reward (which is composed of coinbase tx for mining and sum of tx fees.
The burn is implemented in the code, it is not by transfer to some burning address, it's in the core logic itself (validation.cpp https://github.com/wu-emma/bitgesell/blob/64c24348f1ba8788fbffaf663b3df38d9b49a5d1/src/validation.cpp#L2161), you can check fees in a block and see that reward is 0.1 of those, so 0.9 are burned forever.

The reward is 8000 BGL

I don't particularly understand about the "scanner of the network peers". Does it integrated within the whole BGL codebase or it's just the third-party apps like https://bglcontest.bitaps.com/nodes_list ?

As far as I know, there are Bitnodes, a site whose listed/crawl onion Bitcoin nodes.

I did not find information about how does work the process of burning 90% commission coins. At the time of writing this post, the number of coins burned is 47 694.46250556 BGL. Where are these coins stored? I didn't find an address with such a coin balance...

The nodes running through Tor does not have IP address which is used in the scanner of the network peers. So unfortunately Tor nodes do not appear in BGL explorer stats or node contest. Same goes for many BTC utils with similar approach.

I'll add my 50 cents.
At the moment, 237 nodes are active in the network. I uploaded the data to excel, then sorted it and received such data:

• the number of nodes with version 0.1.1 that participate in the weekly nodes contest - 86 (36%)

Of these:

• location of Fort Lauderdale (WZ Communications Inc.) with an IP mask is 199.80.55.xxx - 19
• RU location (servers.ru hosting services) with an IP mask is 23.105.26.xxx - 10
• RU location (servers.ru hosting services) with an IP mask is 23.11.202.xxx - 20
• RU location (servers.ru hosting services) with an IP mask is 23.11.204.xxx - 23.11.206.xxx - 16

That is, in fact, 72 nodes out of 86 with the old version are concentrated on several VPS servers.

@EmmaWu

I just run the BGL node over Tor for a couple of days. I checked the hourly updated nodes lists website, but I can't see my node being listed there. Does the site updating the nodes that run over Tor? And does the node incentives program participating the nodes that run on Tor?

I just want to confirm that I received the BGL from the lottery reward whose run by @my luck Thanks!

I don't know why some users are still running older nodes versions, but I don't think forcing them/users to upgrade to the newer is a good idea, except there are some vulnerabilities. After all, the one who runs older nodes also still helps the networks, I don't think it good to remove them from the contest.

Why are there so many nodes with 0.1.1 version on the network? Why do the owners ignore the developer's requests? If the owner does not follow the development of the project, then need to remove them from the weekly nodes contest.

The 1st round of lottery has ended, congratulations to all the winners! Participate in the next round.
