Yes, you should set a give away for Feb 2020 too!

I see the math here.

*** CONGRATULATIONS BBP Leaderboard PODC Researcher 027057 (BQWhLA82SxL8PW5LGnwKj8qeog3k3JETBZ), you won the 1,000,000 BBP January Prize! ***


Thank you all for participating!

Since this months participation was a success, we should hold a new giveaway in February.

The reward has been sent.  

As far as calculating it, I wrote a tiny vb6 subroutine for this that I will post in the thread and re-use if we have another poll.

LOL, it looks like I won (vout #52 in block 173245).

But since I'm a nice guy I am going to award this to the CPID in position 51 (I'm going to 51 simply because the math of the answer has a floor of 51, and rounding sent it to 52).

I will announce the winner next.

"hash": "ec57a81e053ce1e61b299d4c0168c56d7c0214f817af30b35ddf8ad675209a0f",
ec57 hex = 60503 decimal

Figured out the value of C, but not sure how you applied it to researcher list sans <100 RAC miners.

the high cost of charity donation processing. why efficiency is important.

personally ive found crypto more efficient and transparent

Looks like we have 59 participants in the leaderboard!

I look forward to calculating the results on block 173,307.

Good luck!

Wow!  What a terrible line of business these hosting services have been embroiled in.
Btw, hostbrz owed me a $1,000 credit and the owner e-mailed me and said don't worry we'll get back to you within 10 days with a refund plan, then they pulled the whole domain etc and dissapeared.

I called my credit card company and asked if I would be allowed a chargeback but they didn't go for it due to the date of the charge being like 6 months ago.

Anyway, its good we didn't go tooo far with Apollon, although I wish them the best (that is, too far in goatroping our users into something that will fail).

I believe the only partner we have left is SatoshiSolutions.  We will need to get an update on that project from MIP.

And just to reiterate my opinion, I'm all for our partners accepting BBP, and always have been.  I am also of the belief its up to the individual if they want to pay POOM or sponsorship dollars in BBP.

(We removed the poom autopay option so as to guard our price from dropping sharply every month.  And also to make it more likely for a poom user to potentially pay in fiat.  But not to completely block them.  If they really want to pay in BBP they still can by doing a manual liq.)

On a side note I paid my cameroon yesterday in paypal to keep the sell pressure off BBP.

(And, I stopped charging BBP payroll until new exchange fund is paid off).

Maybe - with due diligience and vetting; but - after speaking with Steven, president of SAI.NGO, who btw seems to be a very good future candidate and partner for us, explained to me how important the vetting process is for larger investors.  The globalgiving seal of approval is "a good start", but more importantly, he explained the GuideStar platinum rating was one of the most coveted ratings.  And if we want to yoke ourselves with leaders we should tout all spent dollars go through fully vetted orgs.

I do have a lot to talk about on this but I cant make a wiki page about the concept right now.  But some of this is related to being a charity agent.  Part of the idea is for BBP sanctuaries to gather and rank charities that are fully vetted and apply ranking scores, and help maintain our web pages of vetted charities.  And reach out to them and look for deals.  Enter this info in the database and have a central (and I think this would be a brand new ngo web site for biblepay), that would allow the user to rank these by magnitude descending.  Part of the magnitude would also be the discount given (either through matches, or discounts by the org).

This would allow donation fiat or crypto to be passed through our system - something we dont do yet (donate buttons, donate processes etc) - and we would be a trusted arbiter of the 'best deals' - or the most bang for the buck when spent on charity.  The small % fee we would charge would be rewarded back to the giver in BBP.

One other discovery I made in this was 'wholesale deals'.  Steven explained how he can find 20 Venezuelan orphans for half price (IE something like $20 per month), but only if this entire ecosystem was established (we cant go these routes unless we have solid commitments and the programming done and see that our community is helping do this work also).  But if we get there, we will be able to offer wholesale sponsorships with these deep discounts for desperate needs.  He can also potentially give us bios.

So anyway, I as a part time charity investor really believe in this vetting process; it can be done more so by others because we will be seeking larger orgs like sai.ngo who naturally have to be certified to receive cross border payments etc.

The problem with non-vetted orgs is there is no way to know the funds actually reach the end-user and we need 100% trust here for our pass through dollars -- otherwise we might fail.

It would be nice to eventually prove that all pass through dollars can be traced to orphan ids.  So far we do have that ability.

I don't fully agree with the terminology of "missed" or "minimal send".

Instead, I maintain that there is a 24 hour delay between the point the researcher surpasses 255 rac, and a full automatic send by the wallet.
The wallet does automatically send the correct coin age after the maturity period- and day to day thereafter.

I wonder if the Single Parents section of KIVA would be appropriate for BiblePay (helping children)

https://www.kiva.org/lend-by-category/single-parents

KIVA has an API too: https://www.kiva.org/build

We have applied for Instaswap service, a BTC/Alt/Fiat bridge to purchase BBP.

Let's hope we can integrate with this service from our website and from QT and mobile wallets.

What is RandomX?


https://www.publish0x.com/passive-income-crypto/what-randomx-moneros-mining-algorithm-xwkdqm

"a Proof-of-Work algorithm that provides ASIC resistance by using random code execution and memory-hard techniques"


https://2miners.com/blog/randomx-new-monero-mining-algorithm

"audited by four independent security research teams"


https://www.monerooutreach.org/stories/RandomX.html

"Because RandomX is memory hard, it’s expected that botnets and malware mining will decrease as the memory consumption will be more easily noticed by administrators." "the miner will require at least 2GB of RAM"

camerooneone listed biblepay as payment option for crypto

We are probably talking about 125 BBP that is being missed.

The sendgscc wcg tx for < 250 RAC ends up being a minimal send of BBP (e.g. 1 BBP). So, when the miner crosses the > 250 RAC threshold, they do not receive a payment because their coin age does not match the new requirement (of saying requiring 1350 BBP of coin age). Again, not a big deal... its a one time thing I would imagine unless they keep dipping below 250 and going above it frequently.

I contacted EvoNodes to see how much listing will cost. They offer shared MN hosting (like Mint Nodes before they closed). Shared MN may be attractive to investors that don't quite have 4.5M to make a sanctuary.

The want $250 USD for listing. That is about 1.8M BBP at current prices.

Thought maybe these could help some users.

Have only received 1 smart contract payment since update. "sendgscc wcg" stopped automatically sending 1x a day so I entered that in my debug console again.

Weird tho, since doing the last mandatory wallet update and running Boinc 24/7 for the PODC - I have been successful in mining 2 blocks in the last 24 hours for 2400 BBP roughly.
