Short Training Video 5: How to deploy an Apollon masternode in less than 5 minutes
https://apollon.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015914132-Short-Training-Video-5-How-to-deploy-an-Apollon-masternode-in-less-than-5-minutes-8-min-27-sec

I see what Apollon did differently, GIN is all web based, and the user still has to perform a few wallet actions,
with Apollon your running an exe and its able to communicate with the wallet to get the transaction id and is able to write to the masternode config file and restart the wallet, cool

I agree with Togo. The technical side is in full development, with more and more features being added. Yes, some UX-related things could probably be improved, and I think that it's great to hear about the Dash UX developer contacting us. (In my opinion, that is definitely part of the ripple-effect Togo, every post and every action can reach a potential valuable person for BiblePay.) I hope that he can provide us with his experience, and by extension, make the experience of our users better.

Sun, if you want to help improve the UX of the wallet, could you perhaps create a list of things you think could be made better? I personally love the idea that a new user can download the wallet, and from there just start playing with all the functions and find out all the things that are possible with BiblePay in an easy and understandable way.

Oh, and btw, isn't Bazaleel default already when you install a clean wallet? (I'm not sure.)

I agree on the security aspect. I would never go all-in with my BBP there. Does anyone know a service that provides a shared masternode service that doesn't have this security aspect?

I absolutely love the concept of mintnodes but the security aspect is the only thing that keeps me off. They could run away with everybody's funds at any moment and there would be no way to do anything about it (not even a face to search and destroy in case this happens).

I believe Rob has stated that he is not a UI/UX guy,
hes a backend coder, hes even more rare and valuable,
we can find UI people, we have to build the baseball field first,
Rob is only one person

Are you offering to do said UI work Sun?
Otherwise you need to find a champion to perform the work,
Rob has shown already that he is busy with more important things
Can you recruit someone to perform this work?


So many flavors to choose from, and your choosing to be salty Sun,
instead of complaining why not take action? Submit a pull request, Submit a proposal to vote on it

Every little thing we do can have a ripple effect,
My talking in Dash's discord more lately and also challenging fluffy over Twitter gave us more visibility,

Rob, I didnt mean any hate by the "UX could use some love" comment,
I probably should have worded it as "more love", I also didnt read Suns message before posting
I was thinking Jaap and I are not website designers, we could use some help LOL,
and that I also still need help with designing ads

I think Sun was rude again calling the wallet design Horrible, the design is fine, its functional, its getting the job done.
But also Rob, sadly people judge things by how they look, if we can look even better Im all for it.

Also, hey everyone, We have a new front page design on the main website:
https://www.biblepay.org/

Thanks for confirming this!  I do have most of my power running BOINC tasks; only 1 wallet is on 24/7 for the PODC updates, with genproclimit=1, and another wallet that's on for 8-10 hours a day, plus a couple of computers that are on so rarely that it can't complete BOINC tasks before they expire.

However, I have gotten 5 blocks in the last 4 days (one actually that just happened as I'm typing this) solo POW, so I worry that I'm on a fork or something, but I checked some of the recent blocks I mined, and they were on 2 of the block explorers.  I did a reindex earlier, but is there something else I can do to make sure I'm on the correct chain?

Unfortunately no, there is no way to specify the actual key.  You would need to run a modified version that picks a specific key from the keypool in the miner (or creates a wallet with one key when the wallet.dat is created).  Since we are based on Dash, we create something like 1000 keys when we create the wallet.dat file and the miner uses the next one in the keypool.

EDIT: Just to mention however, I recommend PODC mining.  It pays approx 10* better than heat mining.  Heat mining is just a stipend for our block security.

- Mintnodes dropped us.  

Some investors want a completely autonomous masternode investment.  MIP's is close - but still requires the user to pay hosting fees and upgrade the node.

GIN's is autonomous.

So the autonomous feature comes at a management cost.  I think we should embrace features that take Biblepay the extra mile.

As Togo said, if our price was 10x higher, it would be a drop in the bucket for a whale investor.

I'm against centralization - the centralized checkpoint server - imo it's not needed, imo and it's not a good idea (on any front), in addition we have POW, therefore it's even less needed.  

On the user experience, I dont think we should be saying we have a  "horrible UI" therefore a "horrible UX".  Looking at the core wallet, I do see we have a button out of place, and this is assuming you are running Bezaleel, but a button out of place doesn't make it horrible.  

Let's not forget that we have an on-staff UI designer already committed to do more - Anton - who created the awesome Bezaleel theme.  However the more the merrier!

I'm curious about this as well.

It seems the wallet generates a new payment key for each machine you mine on this remains fairly consistent.

Your right in pointing out that at current prices this would eat up 30% of your profits,
I think BiblePay is undervalued and long term this would become 10% or less

How much is a masternode node on BBP going to earn in a year? To host on Gin will cost $180/yr ?

You're not interested in salvaging the relationship? MintNodes has shared MN which makes them more attractive to new investors. GIN stating they will offer shared MN in the future is just vaporware for now.

Thanks for wording more nicely. I'm talking about a fork occuring, not necessarily a split in the network.

I'd be concerned that it happened to miners at all.

What are your thoughts on automated checkpoints and broadcast live to the network from a central node?

By the way, the DASH Senior UX Designer stopped by Telegram.

I think this is a great opportunity to improve the user experience within the wallet. There's so many unique aspects to this coin that it merits having a great user experience. That in itself will be great marketing for existing and newcomers to BBP.

Is there a way to specify an address when solo POW mining?  I know it'll take a while for my wallet to run out of keys, but I'd rather not have to worry about it, since I share the wallet with a few computers.  I'm thinking of using one address for each computer, so I can easily identify which one mined the block.

Thanks!

The setup was nice, to be honest I would recommend this to anyone non-technical for running their masternode,
for $15/month its worth it vs having to deal with the technical stuff yourself
(or if you just dont have the time to keep up with changes)

I didnt have to run an exe or anything, and the funds stayed in my own wallet, I just had to perform a couple steps on their website.

the only annoying thing is having to pay, you have to initially fund your account with GIN,
you can buy it on CryptoBridge and it sends instantly, but youll have to keep the account funded,
they give you a few day advance notification if your GIN funds get low.

GIN could potentially dominate the masternode hosting scene, so having some funds in GIN isnt a bad thing

Every time your masternode status changes you get an email, that is cool.
Their support seems to be always available and active in their Discord and Telegram,
A support button is in the bottom right of every page

Personally I feel technical enough to manually run my own masternode and Im around BiblePay enough to be aware of changes, so I would probably take my masternode off of there to save $10/month in server costs, but Im willing to keep it up to be the on-going tester,

if I were a slightly more wealthy individual Id host all my masternodes on there LOL, would save so much time and stress

The controller wallet (IE the biblepay core QT wallet) must be able to send a PODC update once per 24 hours.
So we recommend you keep it running otherwise the UTXO will not go out to the network, which proves that you stake a certain amount of BBP to PODC mine.

We considered simplifying this recently, but the community voted to Keep the UTXO/PODC Update for the time being.

Hey thats awesome dude!

Could you enlighten us on the total experience?
How easy is GIN to setup?
How much slippage did you experience in buying, and what loss would you anticipate on selling (IE did it cost you an extra 1% to get in-get out)?
Do you plan on keeping your Sanc in GIN for a while?

I'm very very happy to see someone step up to help us (Gin and yourself) while one steps out (mintnodes).
