I have decided to implement a temporary World Community Grid RAC decay process for 14 days.  The idea behind this is to phase out world community grid Biblepay wide until the DPA is signed and tested.

To implement this I plan on reducing the WCG Credit factor by .10 per day until it reaches 0.  On May 26th, the factor will be 1.4, May 30th: 1.0, June 9th: 0 (project removed).

In this way, current crunchers still receive some of the benefit of the WCG, until it is phased out.

This means we must to switch over to Rosetta project only??

Sounds like it, at least hopefully temporarily until the problem is fixed.

Nice. But from the past experiences we know Rosetta has not enough tasks for our group.

How it is possible to make this change so quickly without any update? MN or wallets update or any other?


We have sporks in place for a lot of network options.  In this case, the only spork needing adjusted is the WCG RAC Factor.  It was 1.5, and now its 1.3 as of today.

So I have completed what I believe is a "final for now" version of the whitepaper. I've added in a page on PODC and one on security details.

The link to the PDF is still here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xndlt3HWTWUhZKTql3ajPFItuEUaTkJw

I think we should get this moved over to our official website sooner rather than later though. We can always make subsequent changes as necessary.

Thanks noxpost, I added the White Paper to the BiblePay.org website this morning.

https://www.biblepay.org/#whitepaper

Thanks, it looks great:

(The content is great... this makes it much friendlier for newbies and useful for conventions also).


I'll send a copy to April@Bloom also!

This will be great for campaigns also.

** WORLD COMMUNITY GRID - EUROPEAN DATA PROCESSING AGREEMENT - UPDATE **

Due to the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) rules going into effect on May 25th, 2018, the BOINC dev team has decided it must implement
the ability to (https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/2447):
 - Allow the user to choose if the CPID, RAC, Username, and crunch statistics should be shared as Public or Not Public.  BOINC has decided to place this radio button or
checkbox on the web account of each project (so the user may choose this switch value).
 - Allow the user to choose to DELETE the entire account.  From what I understand this button will be inside the web account, the user will click it, a confirmation e-mail will be sent,
the user will confirm via e-mail, and then after a certain amount of time, the project will purge all user data from BOINC for that particular project.

The daily statistic dump files will be filtered in a way where they will not include users who Hide the account data (IE they made it private).  Deleted users will be missing completely.

Technically, if the above implementation goes as planned (I believe the devs are still testing the changes for most projects) and some projects have not upgraded (this means some admins of certain boinc projects have not pulled the repo upgrades),
these changes will not impact biblepay (IE- for Rosetta@Home), as long as Rosetta does not add additional business logic on top of the BOINC business logic for GDPR.

The reason WCG is affected, is IBM took this a step further and require each data consumer (IE our sanctuaries) to adhere to the WCG Data Processing Agreement.
This agreement will most likely contain a clause that (asks consumers of the DPA) promising to honor any deleted user flag (that we will not persistently show stats for the deleted user
after the deletion occurs), that we will not cache the data and show it after the user hides the data, and potentially will not share the data with other consumers, etc.

I communicated with WCG support, and applied for the Data Processing Agreement token.  I received a response that the legal text in the DPA is not even complete yet.  
I explained that this is a high priority, and asked if they could finish this within 7 days.  So at this point we are waiting for the DPA itself.

** IMPACT ON WORLD COMMUNITY GRID RENUMERATION FROM BIBLEPAY **

Since I personally view it as unfair to continue to assess the WCG crunchers at the current static level (since we have new users being onboarded and we have
RAC changes), but otoh, I also view it as unfair to 'pull the plug' on every researcher who has built up RAC on WCG for biblepay, I have decided to implement a
temporary World Community Grid RAC decay process for 14 days.  The idea behind this is to phase out world community grid Biblepay wide until the DPA is signed and tested.

To implement this I plan on reducing the WCG Credit factor by .10 per day until it reaches 0.  On May 26th, the factor will be 1.4, May 30th: 1.0, June 9th: 0 (project removed).

In this way, current crunchers still receive some of the benefit of the WCG, until it is phased out.

If WCG finishes the DPA early and we are able to implement it, we can then reverse this.  I did not receive a reply on the ETA of the DPA.

I've just created and paid Yobit Premium "Add coin" request. If everything goes ok BBP should be listed there in 4-7 days. Yobit is not a perfect exchange but it is well established with decent volume (40x c-cex volume) and it (more or less) works 365 days a year. I've put contact [at] biblepay.org as a contact mail so BBP devs should cooperate with yobit if needed.

Thank you very much for your engagement and the BTC, smbbm! I believe it's the right move, especially because of the C-CEX news.

I think you should be paid back! 0.1 BTC (~250k BBP) is within the upcoming budget, so I suggest you make a proposal for the YoBit listing.

Thank you, I will make the proposal later once Yobit listing is alive.

Although I applaud the effort, I remember early in our thread SeasonW warned us that yobit doesnt really honor the .10 btc adds for bitcoin derived coins, he said they got lazy and only honor the price for erc20 tokens.  Then I believe Luke cancelled the offer. 

But if you know someone on the inside I wish you the best and of course look forward to it if it works...




Yobit got paid for html coin swap and they never did it. They had to fork to be able to swap so I do not have trust for yobit at all.

They had two years to prepare lol....it's funny to see how they just decided to pull the plug at the last minute and rush everything. Good job IBM, wasn't expecting anything else from you...(but I guess everyone else is rushing everything at the last minute too so Roll Eyes).

Something strange that I just spotted today: Despite keeping the (v1.1.2.4) Biblepay wallet open all the time, it suddenly stopped sending PODC updates on the 22nd May, with my last payment on the 23rd May.  Boinc was still working and I was still generating RAC.

Could you first try parsing the log - search for "PODCUpdate", see if an error is shown (with the reason the wallet could not allocate enough to send).

Or search for 'biblepayminer' and see if the mining thread exited as a last resort.

Awesome!

I am a little confused on the coin allocation,

Is it 38.5% Sanctuary, 38.5% PODC, 3% POW?
or
Is it 38% Sanctuary, 38% PODC, 4% POW?

Ive heard both, but am unsure

3% looks correct for POW.

iOS version is on the way. Here in an old iPhone5. Still I have to change UI stuff, logos, strings, BTC for BBP text and price..

But wallet connects to Biblepay network and what you see is real txs and real stuff no mockups
