For the rest, I know another project that dispatches block rewards to masternodes in a regular way: in our case that would mean : Sanctuaries would get xx% of each block's reward, whatever the way the block was found. Maybe I misunderstood westwarmoth's suggestion, but I think it's not that far.

Basically, I would like to see two daily Superblocks. One for PoDC (which we have) and one equal sized one for Sanctuaries. Then at the block time, the system would look at which Sanctuaries were enabled and pay each one from the Sanctuary Superblock. So at block 75,040 there was a PoDC Superblock worth 1,077,065 BBP, and what I'm proposing is at block 75,145 we'd have a Sanctuary Superblock also worth 1,077,065 BBP (subject of course to the 1.5% deflationary emissions modifier). That superblock would be equally divided among the 336 enabled Sanctuaries, so each would get roughly 3205 BBP.

I don't see the benefit of doing this - its a change that is rooted in - ? Paying a consistent amount to sancs? Then you could add a proposal to remove DGW. Imo - Ive explained a couple times why DGW is good for us, so I would vote against it.

A while back I emailed you the idea of having you investigate other proof-of-document-storage coins that are live and floated the idea of installing their software and evaluating each one. Have you considered doing that yet or would you like us to ask someone else to do it?

DGW (Dark Gravity Wave) does not require you to change the payout amount. It is just a difficulty algorithm that adjust difficulty for the next mined block. How can we accurately say PoBH and PoDC will receive a specific percentage of the block reward if the payout amount differs due to PoW difficulty?

Thank you for your single opinion; snat. You are one of our 2500 users (accurate user count from the pool database), and one of approx. 10 (out of 2500) who continually try to make a mockery of this forum (by steering investors away from the core mission: building value for biblepay) - and you havent disclosed if you even own one sanctuary. Otoh, I'm entirely focused on that mission: building value for biblepay.

http://pool.biblepay.org/ -> Report > Block Distribution
For block 75130, there were only 47 people mining via Proof of Work.
There's probably more at purepool, let's give you 100 unique users there: http://www.purepool.org/main/statistics

https://www.biblepay-central.org/en/podc/leaderboard/
For the leaderboard, I see payments stop at around 320.

Maybe 320 unique accounts that are actively participating at most in BiblePay mining. Minus your 80+ masternodes... if the other 280 masternodes are unique, you have another 200. Being generous, you have at most 620 people participating in BiblePay. That's a far cry from 2500 you quoted. Please don't inflate numbers like Facebook with registered accounts... Let's look at active accounts. Point in saying all this is that snat's comments are more valuable and relevant than you care to minimize.

Incorrect - and in the future, if you are going to be argumentative, again misleading investors consistently, I will have to ask you to stop posting inaccurate data. When you come up with an idea that is inaccurate you should ask others first before posting it as "Fact". Its absolutely inaccurate. (Just as the accusation of comingling was).

I don't like to mislead our investors - or post inaccurate figures. Next, I do not make up things and post them for fun - I only post facts Sun. (As I always have).

In order to perform your calculation, you need to count distinct solo mining keys, heat cpids, and PODC cpids. And that does not take into account investors (who are not only a real part of BiblePay, but the ones who buy our coins so we can pay charity to our precious children!).

We have 2,500 distinct pool accounts in one pool, and more in purepool that I deliberately didnt count (because of pool hopping and people trying to create multiple accounts). Btw, pool.biblepay.org has the ability to warn me when people create more than one active account, so it is a pretty accurate number.

Therefore we have 2,500 total users - as I said.

That superblock would be equally divided among the 336 enabled Sanctuaries, so each would get roughly 3205 BBP.

Why not a daily superblock for both PoDC and MNs in the same block? I see, you want a daily superblock for PoDC (daily) and a MN (daily) half block day apart. How does that interact with the monthly superblock?

I guess there's no issue as monthly superblock was 73800, and the daily superblock was 73810. So, one doesn't replace the other.

I like the idea. Let's make it into a proposal.

I think DGW shouldn't change payout amount, just adjust the difficulty like it was designed to do. Botnets don't have a reason to mine BBP with the low payout and a CPID that mined this block can't mine the next block.

It doesn't make sense from a fair & balanced democracy viewpoint. It favors whales who can change the outcome of any vote at any time.

DASH currently has 5,000 masternodes. It takes 500 net yes votes. BiblePay takes the 10% from DASH governance model.

If more participation is required or a bigger percentage, then you get into issues where proposals may not pass just from lack of participation.

Rob owns at least 80 masternodes, so he effectively controls about one-third of the vote.
Any proposal he creates, he can easily pass with 10% net yes requirement.

I think changing the governance requirements is tricky. Even with Rob's voting power, I think the way it is (from a technical standpoint) is okay.

+1 on the "dark web" aspect of coin mixing a private send... cryptocurrencies are already looked upon as "malicious", so if we add some "high privacy" stuff on top... :/

For a coin improvement I would suggest the following.

Daily Masternode (Sanctuary) Superblock:

Would equalize the payments for PoDC and Sanctuaries. PoDC makes about 10-15% more than Sanctuaries each day even though in theory they both receive 38.5%.
Would eliminate the variability. Due to Dark Gravity Wave (DGW) Sanctuary reward since varies by up to 20%, this is not ideal for investors.
Would eliminate back-to-back rewards. This still happen with some frequency, where one Sanctuary gets paid two consecutive rewards and seems unfair.
Would be innovative. Would allow all Sanctuaries to get a daily reward (block/enabled Sanctuaries), which would position the coin as a leader in the Masternode community.

The upside is the logic is already built in the PoDC superblock, so it shouldn't be quite as big of a project as building it from scratch.

A second coin improvement (in my eyes), would be to eliminate coin-mixing and private send.

Both functions are very rarely used. The Christian community is going to be difficult to sell on the notion that these transactions need to be obfuscated. It lends the appearance of Dark Web activities. While there are some moderate long term, potential benefits (such as sending to a hostile country), I don't see those being used so much. Basically, if I need to hide religion from a government, then it doesn't matter how I send or receive the coins, I still won't be able to use them without suspicion.

What happened with that proposal? Did the guy just run away with the money?

No absolutely not

I'm still in contact with Habib and he is still committed to BiblePay.

Unfortunately, he's had a very serious family-emergency, but he is planning to get busy with BiblePay again next month.
I will ask him to give us a precise breakdown of his spendings before moving forward.

The hardcopy-guide is also still being worked on (although it has become a project separate from Habib). I finished the website before going abroad last month. I came back last week, en now my focus is on the hardcopy-guide, airdrop, and PR.

Thanks, I added a prayer for Habib and his family.

** Great Features Being Developed for BiblePay Right Now **

- Migrating our Accountability.biblepay.org database of expenses and revenue to the core wallet
- Ability for the core to store actual charitable expenses in IPFS
- Ability for the core wallet to report on Expenses and Revenue without relying on the pool (decentralization)
- Theymos RPC report (exec theymos)

- Phase 1 of Church Tithing (more info on this coming soon)

- Key-man risk: working with MIP on a plan to decentralize this risk this month
- BiblePay Foundation: Working with Compassion on accepting BTC instead of fiat (still waiting for an answer). This partially drives our future decisions on dissolving the foundation, or changing its structure.
- Compassion Orphanage sponsorship reduction: We are still waiting on Compassion's reply confirming our child count decrease and report. I followed up with them twice, and they assure us they are working on it.
- Compassion Partnership with Jimmy Mellado: I sent a plan to Compassion for Jimmy, for Governance reimbursements and for 'orphan mining'. Both plans were redirected from Jimmys desk to IT. I was just sent an e-mail explaining that IT is going to digest this and "may" call us for a conference call.

- DAHF: Working due diligence with Fluidity (an SEC and FINRA regulated company that tokenizes assets on the blockchain)

I just want to quickly clarify something I think the 99% here know:

BiblePay has never manipulated, adjusted or lied about ANY revenue or expense in accountability.biblepay.org (its correct to the penny), and I, the founder have never cheated the orphanage out of any funds, nor ever comingled any funds with my personal account (this rumor started by SunK when he failed to recognize the transaction went from the dedicated wallet back to my wallet first as a repayment, then from me to myself) meaning that there was never a comingling, there was a dedicated account, and each line item always has been and is still correct in accountability.biblepay.org where it says it was handled by me, jaap, or any of our partners.

We are and always have been 100% honest.

I'm going to suggest an enhancement today for Theymos.

We are all forgiven how can we not also forgive? ...

Yes, we are just men, and the least we can do is forgive others and also Not hold grudges. Im not sure if you have seen our Gospel Links section in the pool, but I highly recommend watching This man saw judgement day. It has nothing to do with where you are in your walk - its just worth watching

. Have a good one, I have a lot of PMs and issues but I enjoy remembering seeing your reply yesterday, it was like a rushing waterfall from Christ coming over me.

I will say this in PM, no need to go further in public.

Are you trying to chase people away from this project?

If I disagree with you, or challenge something my goal here is to better the project. I am working to not have a tone or aggressive stance, with that I may be "cold" as I remove more emotion from it than I Should? If that is the case then I am sorry.

I have chosen to stay in the shadows for the most part. I wanted to help on the re-base, but frankly I don't know if I could work with you from the limited interactions we have had.

"If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing." (1 Cor 13:2)

“By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35).

These are important verses. My wife has repeatedly mentioned the need for love above all else in dealing with others. I myself am nowhere near where I want to be, but I will keep working on it until I leave this life.

Yes, I am trying to drive people away, yes!

I believe you made a backhanded apology yesterday also - as you apologized and then went on to criticize anyway, as if criticizing from a place that is superior, with less information about the core wallet and the pool.

The issue is: We created a pool post protocol that only required 750 bytes to be posted, and it was not until we extended the header size of the post data. The code does has the ability to decrease its header data size in the post, by removing one of the fields its posting.

And we dont need stratum - if we did, I would have considered using it when I first made the pool.

And its not an improvement, its just an efficiency improvement, which we dont need because each pool handles the small amount of traffic per miner per hour in the current format.

So lets just focus on extending the header size of the three pools first, and then in the June mandatory removing the extra field.

Thank you for your single opinion; snat. You are one of our 2500 users (accurate user count from the pool database), and one of approx. 10 (out of 2500) who continually try to make a mockery of this forum (by steering investors away from the core mission: building value for biblepay) - and you havent disclosed if you even own one sanctuary. Otoh, I'm entirely focused on that mission: building value for biblepay.

I'm sorry it has come to this, but I have to treat this as insubordination - since I started this project, I have the right to run it until it is large enough to split the work up upon multiple lead devs and multiple functions. Its inherent trust lies in trusting me and if you cant do that frankly you should no longer be a part of this; as I think you have a hidden motive - possibly to drag down our price - or maybe workng for the enemy; its hard to say; but its clear you are a detraction and a net negative of our community.

In light of that, Im going to give you one more chance to act more respectfully toward the BiblePay forum and myself. Please only post items that have to do with technical problems with biblepay, or how you are helping to solve them, or how you are helping other users, or spreading the gospel. Do not post one more post : attacking me, attacking the coin, attacking my character, or otherwise I will have to ask you to stop posting entirely on this forum.

You have been warned - this is warning #1.

I count 276 enabled right now. https://www.biblepay-central.org/en/masternodes/

DASH doc (https://docs.dash.org/en/latest/governance/using.html) says, "The net total of yes votes must exceed 10% of the total masternode count at the time votes are tallied in order to pass."

So, you need a net of 28 yes votes to pass proposal if the MN count was the same when the monthly superblock occurs.

It's odd that if 28 Sanctuary owners each cast one YES-vote for a proposal, one Sanctuary owner with a single NO-vote can stop the proposal from passing.

That makes sense though because it is the responsibility of the proposal creator to generate more interest in voting if s/he is dangerously close to losing.

It doesn't make sense from a fair & balanced democracy viewpoint. It favors whales who can change the outcome of any vote at any time.

No - it doesn't - its the job of each masternode owner to keep abreast of polls and make a vote; therefore it makes sense as it is.

You obviously haven't a contrite and repentant heart. You have created this for yourself.

Nothing needs to be changed except your heart.

Now we are zeroing in on the problem: You aren't acting Christian, as Christian's do forgive one another.

Did you delete his post after saying you were not going to be censoring?

Please stop blaming everyone, fact is none of us have the "he started it" to fall back on, we are called to something higher than that.

As long as blame is being dished out it prevents one from looking inward...

I'm going to "wait and see" how things progress too, that is the only way you can build trust and respect which is what you have really asked for.

You can forgive someone without holding their past against them, but that doesn't create trust or respect, both of those need effort and to be built over time.

As humans, we default to defense/deflect mode, unfortunately this is a common tactic the evil one uses to distract us, and prevent us from actually looking at ourselves. In a 12 step group this is step 1 : "Denial", there is a reason for this.

Don't get me wrong I'm far from perfect and I am aware, and I will continue to work to BE better.

If anyone has good ideas for PR, please share your thoughts.

Togo is doing a lot of work on our social channels and posting on forums etc, and I'm working with April to try and hopefully get journalists to write about us (our first pitch will be sent within a week), but that is simply not enough.

In the end, I think it basically comes down to shilling our project to others. We just have to get noticed more. So if anyone is interested, these might perhaps be some good ideas to spread awareness:

Start a bounty for a signature-campaign for Bitcointalk.
Pay people a bounty to write articles/reviews about us.
Pay people a bounty to post about us on forums/socials.

I have signed up for bounty0x.io in the past, and they seem legit, so that might be a service we could use for bounties.

I'm a bit burned out myself for the moment, so I won't be taking on new adventures at this point in time.

Also, a very nice PR-opportunity is coming up, namely the dropping of the team requirement for Boinc! I think that this will be a good opportunity to spread awareness by posting on forums and approaching communities that are on WCG, R@H, Boinc, distributed computing etc. This could very well be a community effort. If everyone just posts a few posts here and there, that could make a major impact in my opinion.

And just an update from my side: I'll be working on the website in the coming week. That will mainly entail simplification of the way that information is presented, simplification of the landing page, and writing updated guides for setting-up miners and Sanctuaries.

You have the religion, churches, charity organisations which can donate (money, time or efforts) or get involved in the project themselves. Also - simplifying the entering into this project will be a huge advantage. Right now to enter without directly paying is a nightmare, even with a proper documentation. Christianity, after all, has 2.4 BILLION adherents (Yes, that is 2 400 000 000)! This is more than any religion on Earth.

I like the perspective: Any preacher, pastor, apostle, teacher, prophet, or the congregation can be targeted as a potential user of BiblePay as their personal flavor of cryptocurrency.

Yes, the barrier of entry is a live issue. I think we have about a 50-50 split in believers of the benefits (or negatives) of removing the UTXO requirement. The UTXO blocks us from making ourselves an "iphone" type interface (where everything just works out of the box). It also goes hand in hand with the no team requirement (in that a new user could jump in the same night and start crunching). I suppose we can observe the effects of the no-team requirement for 60 days and if they are positive we can again regroup and talk about if we should consider removing the UTXO requirement for cancer mining.

If anyone has good ideas for PR, please share your thoughts.

Togo is doing a lot of work on our social channels and posting on forums etc, and I'm working with April to try and hopefully get journalists to write about us (our first pitch will be sent within a week), but that is simply not enough.

In the end, I think it basically comes down to shilling our project to others. We just have to get noticed more. So if anyone is interested, these might perhaps be some good ideas to spread awareness:

Start a bounty for a signature-campaign for Bitcointalk.
Pay people a bounty to write articles/reviews about us.
Pay people a bounty to post about us on forums/socials.

I have signed up for bounty0x.io in the past, and they seem legit, so that might be a service we could use for bounties.

I'm a bit burned out myself for the moment, so I won't be taking on new adventures at this point in time.

Also, a very nice PR-opportunity is coming up, namely the dropping of the team requirement for Boinc! I think that this will be a good opportunity to spread awareness by posting on forums and approaching communities that are on WCG, R@H, Boinc, distributed computing etc. This could very well be a community effort.
