I didn't see a response,  anyone else miss out on an unbanked payment last superblock?

Not a huge deal but if there is an issue i'd like to correct it


I think unbanked are affected, but some banked are affected as well.

8/11: http://explorer.biblepay.org:3001/tx/8817d3f4ad69c015186c3839d681178acb982620a8a1826605dec0ee7a74fc0e

The commonality seems to be block 63970, where BiblePay RAC shows as 0 according to BiblePay Central.

Does the '10% orphans' in your title mean that 10% of the supply has been pre-mined or something like that?
No not pre-mined.
It means that every month (at least) 10% of our coins emitted that month are set aside for charity.
Often it ends up being more than 10%.


Thinking about it. Maybe the '10% orphans' in the title could be more clear. And the 'Sanctuaries' part is probably a bit overkill (outsiders only know the term 'Masternodes'). Looking at it from the outside again, they wouldn't know that 'POHB' stands for either. Those two terms would be something they would learn about when they start finding out who we are, but it's probably not something that would attract first-time visitors. What IS interesting though, is that we are participating in R@H.

First half is crypto-related, second half is about the good we do.

So maybe a better title would be something like this:

Quote
BiblePay | Masternodes | CPU only | Curing diseases | 10% goes to charity

Or:

Quote
BiblePay | Masternodes | ASIC and GPU resistant | Curing diseases | 10% goes to charity

Amazing analysis, I agree wholeheartedly! I would go with your first suggestion:

I originally found BiblePay searching for the keyword CPU

Me too. I was looking for a CPU only coin. I actually think having "GPU" in the title instead is maybe somewhat counter productive.

I also like the word charity more than orphans. And you are right, R@H is a pretty remarkable thing we are doing, it should definitely be in the title.

Maybe the word "Governance" could be also added somewhere in the title, because we are one of the few coins that actually has masternode governance, and it's amazing at it.

And as Togo suggested, I would add the 🕇 symbol at the beginning and the end of the title.

In any case, even though improving the title looks like a superfluous thing to do, I think it's very important, because I believe most of the people found BiblePay that way, especially because this thread is almost always on the first page of the subforum.

Thx! Yes, I agree on your point that the title is VERY important. You want to spread information from very to-the-point in the beginning to more broad later on. A few keywords can go a long way.

And I like the crosses! I didn't know that was possible Smiley

I also like the title slovakia posted, but maybe it's best to make the title as short as possible while still containing much information.

Maybe something like this:

Quote
🕇 BiblePay | Masternode Governance | CPU only | Help cure diseases | 10% to charity 🕇

Just digging this up from some weeks ago. I still think that the topic-title could be changed a bit to stand out more.

Why don't you invite him to post in our thread and challenge even one point and we will prove him wrong every time, and then lets ask him why we cant advertise a Christian charity that is helping 339 orphans every month?



After BBP's non-profit status is in place, we should probably hire a licensed accountant or attorney to audit /certify our orphan sponsorships / payments for the past 12 months.


Yes, we should do that-  we already have one item for the a crypto attorney:  Certify us as a utility and not as an asset, we could also pay a CPA to certify our past expenses.  We will need an accountant to file the annual tax return - we could potentially bundle two tasks for the cpa:  certify expenses and file our tax return.

Hi,

could somebody please check whether I am running on a fork or what has happened?


I imported your address as watch-only and see the right balance (the same seen on the explorer)

What wallet version do you have?

# biblepayd --version
Biblepay Core Daemon version 1.1.4.3

Try loading up one of your older wallets from \walletbackups.

# biblepayd --version
Biblepay Core Daemon version 1.1.4.3

This version should be ok. It seems it's only counting the transactions from to 11th Aug onwards (which sum 55786) but not the previous ones.

Try to check if your machine finds this transaction (one of the missed ones)

getrawtransaction edcdb5a88e17a61d59b52e093f7535af00352faa4dc672a2517b048a9a343406 1

And also try to restart the daemon with -zapwallettxes=1 option to try to recover those unaccounted transactions.

I just saw on Twitter that the CEO of Binance updated his 'Binance Listing Tips' article:
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/binance-listing-tips-changpeng-zhao/

I think that this article is pretty reasonable. I don't think we are ready to be able to be listed just yet, but I feel that we are getting there step by step. Once we feel ready Rob can submit an application to get listed.

I'm curious where we'll be in about half a year from now, after we strengthen our PR-efforts (which is the area I think needs our attention).

I was in contact with youtube channel Ivan on tech, channel with almost 200k subscribers. I sent them basic info regarding BBP.
They can offer some PR but I guess it is a little bit expensive taking into account our budget.
They can offer live interview with the founder or artickle in toshitimes.com (201k monthly readers) or mention in daily streams.

If somebody from PR team is interrested, I can send you info via privat message.


Thanks for contacting them. You can PM Togo with the info and we'll discuss it Smiley

I got my payments on PODC and I am happy Grin, now i have two questions:

1) Rosseta seems to take a lot of network traffic and space.
    Question:
    Do I have to be "boinc"ing  at least one station on Rosseta, or can I move all my boinc stations to WCG ?


2) West said in the past that we could use WCG RAC to receive payment from GByte coin.
    Today GByte coin asks to change WCG user name to be something else.
    Question:
    If i would change WCG user name, will it be effecting Biblepay PODC payment ?



You can actually stop Rosetta and go 100% WCG.  The only side element to this is for brand new users who do not have a Rosetta account.  There is a small chance a person who started fresh on WCG with no Rosetta account will need to create a rosetta account to ensure the cpids match across projects, then stop boincing rosetta later.  But for you, you can just turn off rosetta.  The entire issue is for CPID synchronization.  WCG does honor boincs 'externalcpid' field (which is what we honor also).

On #2, I cant offer assistance here.




Sorry been so out of touch, if anyone has answered already sorry again.

The Byteball thing, basically you sign up normally at WCG, then after you're live there a day or so it will show as a cross project at Rosetta under "Projects in which you are participating".  After that point, download the Byteball wallet and follow the Steem guide.  Changing your name and having the Byteball wallet confirm it won't affect Biblepay, and in fact, you can (once the Byteball wallet confirms) change it back to your original name immediately thereafter.

An orphanage from India, Brynn Children Home, has been in contact with me over Facebook, I think they will be creating a proposal soon!
https://www.facebook.com/Brynn-Children-Home-1668615016742705/

This is exciting, however we are struggling this month to make our charity payments, so lets see how we do towards the end of the month with the compassion bill.  9 million bbp might not cover our existing 309 monthly orphans, and if we have a deficit this month I would recommend pulling in the horns and possibly spending all of our money on compassion next month - maybe we have to tell them to wait 6 months.

Ill be very cognizant about voting No for new proposals, especially with this months BLOOM payment taking about 20% of our charity budget.

Bitcointalk Forum - Banner Ad

Proposal:
https://forum.biblepay.org/index.php?topic=83.0

We were rejected again by Theymos, Bitcointalk Forum Admin, on June 20th
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.40517470

Quote
I've decided that masternode coins can sometimes be acceptable, but Biblepay seems highly deceptive.
For example, you say "10% of the emission goes to sponsoring Orphans, with provable contributions," but:

 - 10% of the monthly emission should be somewhere around 6 million coins, but the monthly trade volume tends to be
only slightly higher than this, which is unbelievable if you're actually selling the coins in order to make donations.

 - This 10% goes to a hardcoded non-multisig address with no explanation.

 - "THE COIN HAS RPC COMMANDS THAT PROVE 100% OF CONTRIBUTIONS ARE SPENT THE WAY INTENDED" is completely false.
The RPC command just totals up all of the payments to the hardcoded address.
What happens after the coins go to that address is unexplained.

 - There is no non-profit registration, receipts for donations, any info about the people who are supposedly facilitating donations, etc.
 
Biblepay looks like a generic coin with hardcoded dev subsidy plus some probably-totally-fabricated marketing about orphans.

I posted the bad news in the forum and we had more conversation:

Here are my collection of notes below,
is there anything more we can add?
is there a better way to organize the information?

But I still am seriously considering a feature that erases the chainstate and blocks and resyncs if a node is out of sync for more than an hour (which can be disabled if a user doesnt want it on).

Great idea!

About POW difficulty probably some kind of failure or who from the skilled hackers managed to bypass protection and lured tokens to themselves. I'm also interested in knowing the reason for such a decision and what caused this failure for all who are interested in this important information.


There is not a path in the wallets business logic that allows 'skilled hackers to bypass protection', however, as snat said this morning there were live forks, and we now had to restart our wallets to get on the right chain.

But the most accurate question is, why do we have to delete blocks and chainstate to recover our wallets?  Thats a question for me, why does the wallet favor the chain with the least work, after working 4 weeks perfectly?

I believe the answer has something to do with our strict CPID mining rules.  When a fork is a true alternative (IE lets say we have two baby forks at 5000 diff on block N+1), those two forks have two different sets of possible CPIDs.  Our wallet being inherited from dash will not reconsider a block to be good after its marked bad.  I think we need a feature programmed in that allows us to recover in this situation to the chain with the most work.



Rob,

All my wallets works perfectly, without restart. 1.1.3.8 (64-bit) version (win7 64bit) about 30day+


win version works perfect 40day+ .... but 2 masternodes crashed again= any problems with masternode chain=it happened that jumped to other chain

If a Sanc crashes we need a volunteer to start the sanc like this:

valgrind ./biblepayd
or
valgrind ./biblepay-qt

and tell us the line # of the crash.

sudo apt get install valgrind
