Hi Rob
I can no longer log in to the pool, its rejecting my passwd. also the password reset still pops up the email notification but i don't receive it. Help please!
Thanks
Mining as 'oldyac'


It seems rob ignore our post, we were banned while I dunno why,
It is not a hacked as all workerID fail and down to solo mining


 Undecided

You update to last version new acc?

No, its not recommended because it will get you ddossed, and if you only have one IP, then your whole house/farm is ddossed.

The n+ miners who are still latched on to the stake transaction they are trying to add risk thinking that they found a block (due to the increased weight) and will attempt to broadcast it.  We dont want to hose our network up with bad practices and have everyones log showing stuff like that either.

So I guess the question is if I'm running the same wallet on multiple machines, when I send a transaction from one, it is reflected in all of them.  So why would the usage of the stake with a successful win be any different than with five machines on the same wallet or one machine on a singular wallet?

True I just think it will be cheaper for me in the long run to have physical machines than to rent. Unless someone can do the math for me? How much $.$$ / HPS to rent? Is it not against most cloud TOS? I am not talking about buying expensive machines.

If you have other use for the machines, it's hard to really, say.  I bought several machines and they've done well, and yes, most VPS prohibit high compute uses (like mining) and those that don't tend to be pricier (so you're not likely to find a $5 VPS that lets you mine for long)  The upside of using amazon or microsoft's higher end products is if two months from now the PoL system works out and gets implemented, you won't have a bunch of extra computers that are extraneous.  Plus I can tell you, dealing with the extra heat is tricky when it gets warm.  But you basically have to make an educated guess, if you could rent HPS for 1/6th the price of a computer, then it might be worth it if this comes to fruition in 3 months.  But it's all a guess.

I am in the process of purchasing and setting up 20-30 machines to mine on the pool how will this effect me?

For now, it won't affect you at all.   In the future, you might find that your 30 machines don't do as well as 1 machine with a good stake.

So better off spending the $ on coin and using 1 powerful machine to mine? 100% this is happening?
It could be end of March or April before its released, as we've had too many mandatories recently.

You can always buy 100K biblepay for each cloud VPS and shut down the ones you cant afford to buy the BBP for.
Hybrid hashing should still be an option.



True, I am not using cloud VPS for mining physical machines only am I doing it wrong?

Well the distinction is we would not want to recommend you buy 20 physical machines for BBP if you could stake a greater balance with that same sum (of capital) on less machines.

Its entirely up to you though, I think a machine with a 100K stake balance and 2000 HPS will do fine for a while, but it will get to a point where its cheaper to just put more BBP on less nodes as we get more popular.

You can see the relationship in the whitepaper here (see Target Hash Modification):

Yes, the coin-age is not relinquished until you actually successfully stake a block (IE Mine a block with a stake in it).  At that moment you lose all the coin age on the inputs. 

But also, that coin-age will only be useable in exactly one block.  If some nefarious group is sharing a wallet and trying to stake the same coins, that will result in a double-spend attempt and a d-dos ban on the node that happens to fall through second.  For that reason its better for them just to keep it simple and stake distinct wallet balances so they dont get flagged with a double spend attempt.


It may be overly technical, but how would a shared wallet behave differently than a normal wallet?  Wouldn't upon a successful use of the coin-age bonus, the coin age be reset to zero for all miners with that wallet, basically behaving like one wallet on one miner would?

No, its not recommended because it will get you ddossed, and if you only have one IP, then your whole house/farm is ddossed.

All,

Proof-Of-Loyalty is ready to test in testnet, please fire up as many testnet testers as possible here:

http://forum.biblepay.org/index.php?topic=89.msg1093#msg1093

Thanks!

NOTE:  If you get this working tonight, we will need to wait until tomorrow for useful loyalty ages (IE 24 hours+).

So....Is there someplace ya'll could recommend a bone-noob to go to learn what is being discussed here and how it applies to the several small rigs I am operating.

This is a load of fun and I really appreciate the deep participation of everybody involved.

I don't really understand the saltiness of some folk at times,  but I seem to encounter salty people no matter where I go in life, so i guess there just out there in over abundance..

Im particularly confused about 'staking' and what I need to be doing, when this is implemented, to ensure I am maximizing my potential.

Thanks for everything you're doing even if I don't understand at least half of it!!!

I'd recommend joining Slack (biblepay.slack.com) for real time discussions.  There is usually someone that can be found to chat with about BBP.

Understand, this is a discussion about a future feature that is being developed and yet to be tested.  So you have to look "big picture" on this as specifics on how it will affect you are going to be hard to find until a lot of testing is done and it's close to deployed.   But in simple terms, we'll use some imaginary numbers.  Lets say you and I have identical computers that each have a 1/10,000 chance of finding the next block.   If you've got 10K BBP that you got 10 days ago, and you want to "stake" it, you get 100K mining points.  Let's say I've got 5K BBP that I've had for 20 days and I want to "stake" all of it as well, so I get 100K mining points.  So the system recognizes our 100K mining points as an indicator of a supporters of the coin, and makes mining the next block easier, and we both end up having a 1/8,000 chance of finding the next block, whereas a third party with an identical computer but no mining points ends up dropping to a 1/14,000 chance of finding the next block.  It's not entirely clear if by staking your coins will be "reset" in age automatically, only reset in age if they find a block or never reset in age.  It seems they will only be reset in age if successful, based on the statement "When one single PC of the 1000 solves one block, the coins used from the shared wallet that were in-stake are now spent and have zero coin age."

The statement "Meaning that a botnet with 1000PCs and a 100K bbp balance is very close in equality to a single user with ONE PC and a 100K bbp balance." on the surface seems to be untrue.  But, in practice it will be true in my opinion.  On the surface, 1000 machines hashing with a 90% bonus will win a lot more than one machine with a 90% bonus.  But in practice since the motivation of a botnet is immediate profit, they're unlikely to retain coins very long, they'll never build up a coin age modifier like a normal user will.  If they started to behave like a normal user and hold coins long term, then they would de facto be like a "normal" user that runs a lot of VPS.

As the BiblePay project moves successfully from one milestone to the next, please remember that we are unique in several significant ways. One important aspect is found in the BiblePay program itself, which contains the entire King James Version of the Bible, both the Old and the New Testament.

This divinely inspired ancient wisdom is relevant to everyone living today, just as it was when it was written thousands of years ago. Here is a small example known as "The Golden Rule." It clearly shows us how to build and participate in a new Kingdom of excellence ...

  
"In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the prophets."

Please Everyone Read this:

http://wiki.biblepay.org/Proof_Of_Loyalty


This is what I am working on to stave off the botnet.

The idea here is to ensure we have the information explained in a clear manner that captures the essence of the two key algorithms, so they can be conveyed as an enhancement to PoBh, and that so everyone understands the algorithm.

The plan is to enhance PoBH to be a hybrid: PoBH/POL.  This will also help reward our loyal investors, those who help tithe the children, with the propensity for more rewards - and also, to help us make mobile mining on mobile phones a reality for the poor unbanked in the world.

My plan is to add the algorithm to testnet only, and to start testing this in a couple days in testnet.

Please if you have any concerns or questions lets discuss them so we can make this the best enhancement possible, and also regain our network back at the same time.

If we can test this over the next 30 days in testnet, we could potentially go live end of March with a mandatory.

Note, I do want 50 or so of us to start getting ready for testnet again, but a mandatory upgrade will be required for testnet so please ready machine but do not bother syncing.

PS Ill add Pool Effects to the wiki.


That sounds awesome, I'm really curious how this will come into being! After reading the wiki I'm asking myself how all of this will work out for the different machines one owns. For example: I have 5 physical machines and 5 small virtual ones (rented). All of my so far earned BBP (a small 6 figure sum...) is collected in one wallet on one PC (well of course it is, since the pool doesn't differentiate between the single machines anyway and pays out to one address :-D). If I understand this right then only my PC with the (then "staked") BBP will receive the bonus from the POS (or POL) algorithm and all the other machines won't? Or, if I try to distribute my BBP to all of my machines, then of course I will lose all my precious coin age? Is there another possibility to profit from previously earned coins on different machines?

Hi Dave,

Yes, you already gravitated in on the tradeoff with proof-of-stake systems, personal wallet security.  You do need to have something at stake in order to gain an edge with this system, so another words its harder to have cold wallets.  There are things we can do to help solve that problem however, such as promoting encrypted wallets and finding a way to unlock them for staking, but that is a much smaller problem than dealing with a botnet, something I think we can engineer a solution for over the long term.

Anyway to answer your question, the wallet at home would have a huge advantage and the ones that are rented would not hardly solve blocks at all.  You would need to transfer some BBP into the VPS wallets (or into a wallet.dat with a smaller balance and copy the wallet.dat to the VPS machines), then those machines would have an advantage.  

For the ones pointed at the pool, you would want to leave staking on, as we are going to reward a bonus to the one who finds the block.



I'm totally winging it here, and I have no idea if it is possible or a good idea, but could one solution to this be to "stake" our pool balance?

i.e. If we have mined 2k BBP with vps servers, home machines all pointed at the pool, and leave the 2k BBP on the pool so that it can be staked, could that solve the moving BBP into VPS server issue?

Thanks

Unfortunately no for multiple reasons, one the miner who is staking needs to sign the block, two the balances wont be on the pool for long - when auto withdrawals kick in they will general be off the server, and three the stake age on the pool server is very low - because its constantly mining coinbase blocks that take 120 confirms and paying things out.

So the "stake amount" has to come from the personal users wallet.


So....Is there someplace ya'll could recommend a bone-noob to go to learn what is being discussed here and how it applies to the several small rigs I am operating.
