Lets recognize this logo contest West is holding for us, and thank West for holding the contest.

THANK YOU WEST!

At our current market price (.0007), we will need to raise 571,000 biblepay coins to pay for this $400 expense as a community!  (Without waiting til January to create a proposal).  So I think we need to start pitching in on this one so he is reimbursed for his credit card expense.  

Could we please post here, everyone who donates, and West please keep tabs of what you still need and just keep reposting after you receive something in the kitty until the balance is down low enough for it to end.




I just sent 70,000 BBP to West to Kick this off.





Please consider donating for our logo.

A DAO is a decentralized autonomous organization.  It means we are trying to create a decentralized org that does not rely on biblepay-central to operate.  The charities are voted for by the sanctuaries, one charity volunteer spends it each month to the charity, the community writes the orphan letters, and we act as a unified org but we are a decentralized coin that wont die if the lead dev dies or if the main pool web site gets hit by a nuke.  Yes, between now and Christmas compassion wouldnt get paid and you would have to solo mine, but after Christmas, no single point of failure will exist- thats a DAO.  We are a DAC (decentralized autonomous charitable org).

Yes, regarding translation, sort of.  On the bright side, the pool does support multi language captions, but its not finished (waiting for the new devs).
Compassion will auto-translate the letter to the childs native language though, so you can actually write a letter in Polish if you want.  Maybe we should try it and see what they do with it?


I'm going to lower letter writing fees back down once we hit the target, as long as people are motivated with the current bounty it will sort of govern itself. People seem to be writing now with a reward of over 3000 a letter, meaning that the percent should be reduced eventually- I think the issue with that is more people are taking the time to try it now and will be more involved going forward.

Yeah, I see that one is the popular one, Oh my.  I thought the angel was Satan on his throne from standing far back at first, and it sort of looks like we are pushing the crusades.  
Its not bad, but I wouldnt think it ended as our Pro #1 logo.  If it does win, I hope we can put some makeup on it like pick some custom colors, make the cross look more Christian based instead of Crusade based, and make the angel look angelic, and change the font type of the divine slogan, etc.  I like the masculine part about it though, it reminds me of a logo for a fire department.

for example : what is DAO ... in my job,its new marker in diagnosis of histamine intolerance.. diaminooxidaza (DAO)
for BBP what is DAO is secret for me and more ppl from my neighborhood


Robert:areyour thinking about non-english states for writing letters? 2% fees on new pool will better choice like write letters=with downvoting from idiots  

Yeah, Togo is helping fork mine into more userfriendly and mine is under development Here:

(I dont see the spelling mistake though).

We are still making changes in testnet, its not complete yet.  We are adding Budgets to the process now.


You might be refferring to a different page; please post it and the line # you refer to if there is a bug?

Yes, I think we need to separate God and Mammon (and I think we have done an excellent job on that part so far).  Imo, thats never compromising integrity to use Gods funds for anything greed based.  We all took the risk with the current money supply, but we tithed 100% of the 10% out of the chain that we promised and never compromised.  I ensured that I spent more than what I brought in revenue on Compassion, and always recorded the numbers at least $2 lower than actual to ensure Gods money is spent over and above what is promised.

Now as far as other charities that is the beauty of the sanctuaries.  Anyone from our community Will be able to enter a proposal to spend some of the Charity funds after Christmas!  IE, we are not set in stone to give it all to compassion.  But I must say, I am very impressed with Compassions 75%+ efficiency.

You have to look at it like this:  I have a lot of feelings for Childrens hospital, and what they are doing for kids with cancer, but we in the US who live high on the hog, in our glass houses have it too good compared to those starving in third world countries.  My point is Childrens has an overhead level where they might charge $1000 for an MRI or $500 for a pill, while that $1000 could have sponsored 25 orphans.

So, imo, I hope the sanctuaries will Vote Down any charity expense that expends the money too quickly, while we are small.  If we grow, and we have $50,000+ a month to spend, then sure, we could spearhead a Breast Cancer Awareness, a Childrens, a Red Cross etc.  Imo its just a matter of efficiency while we are small.  We need to consider giving lots of food to the starving also (IE C.A.R.E etc).

and font of words on forum.biblepay can be bigger :

tips for you Robert: you sometimes writing moore expertly, anytime i dont understand what about talking you .. shortcuts,technical terms, more ppl dont understand more expressions.. if will be this way, this coin will be dead

Hi Satoshi,
The coins stay in immature state for 24 hours.  I have 2 machines on the pool and Im getting 840 coins a day.
To increase for mining, you can point more PCs at the pool.  We are Processor based.

Thanks.

Yeah even though I like the actual elements themselves, and the divine slogan, I think Togo has a point - the lettering is possibly cluttering up the design and people might actually like the cleaner look like this one - for it to standout from a distance in partner pages and this one looks very distinct and original:

Out of all of the remaining 8, to me only 446 looks really professional like it might work for us:


In my opinion.

*If* we all were to go with 446, I would think maybe raise the center quadrant bar up higher in the coin to make it look like a cross, and see if the community likes the two current colors (Gold and red) -

In the end the one we pick, we can ask the designer to make one version of the coin with an edge with our divine slogan (just to have it), but the primary usable coin would be the clearer one.

But, being fair, I do like this 446 better than the one we have at least in the sense that we can tailor it a little more with some community thoughts before we receive the delivery (I hope).

West, will this freelancer poll work for us to pick the winner, or do we need a separate poll embedded on forum.biblepay.org?

by me best logo but these is very nice too

 

Welcome Watermine,

From the RPC, you can do a 'getnewaddress' and see it (and on a side note you can type validateaddress BBPADDRESS to see all the key info about it), then sendtoaddress address amount, to send coins from the command line.

On #2, There is only one dev currently committing to github, but I have a separate slack channel with other cryptocoin devs working on another cryptocoin project that has been around for years.  Its not clear if that same slack group will eventually merge with us.  In the mean time, I created a new slack team for this coin and we have 3 members (a technical writer and PR and a project manager).  We are now starting to look for official Biblepay devs, in hopes to bring them in for new development and maintenance after the Christmas release.

The timing on this is sort of deliberate, as I found its much more productive for us to sort of set a standard and a development template, and then open the floodgates and allow the other devs to help out after the rollout.  (IE to prevent too many cooks in the kitchen in the very beginning).  Im very optimistic about the github commit model.  We will open a testnet (staging branch) by the new year and let the new commits go in there (from the new devs), and have someone compile testnet wallets and that will allow the community to test the testnet version, a config manager will push commits that pass to prod- I will approve them and merge them into prod at which point our config manager will make an official build.

Haha, I have the same point of view as you did. Those logos from freelancer are good, but too complicated. I would say simple does better, so among freelancer logos + original logo, I like original one. But if I must choose one from the freelancer logos, I like 446, should I go and vote it?

I have hope that coin stay more charity and less religous. I'm catholic and all this propositions(no ofence bbp) make me feel that i'm paying for coins by my faith...
Maybe we should open on more charity instutions like Red Cross. I think it will be huge when some day some charity organization would have on sponsor list "Biblepay miners"

I will likely run a second poll with some other designs, the Dev gave a suggestion of what he thought would be good (the four attributes) and most of the best entries used that.  There were several more simplified logos, and, for instance, 450 has a simple logo in one quadrant that would lend itself to a simplified presentation.   The main issue I see is getting the other files we need although most of the contestants have been prolific and attentive to my every suggestion or criticism and have responded admirably.  So if there is one we really like but would be better with a minor tweak, I'm pretty sure we can get that done (and it's likely there are four or five other versions that were submitted by each artist to cover that possibility).   

Really like the logo entry from Vascallis B. No offense to artist, it looks cool, but personally I think the current logo looks like a shadow has fallen over earth and the seas have turned to lava, while a giant cross stems from Mecca...
Edit:I take the shadow part of that back, the continents are only black on the pool website haha

From Freelancer I like 446 and 427 the most, but I like our original logo the best so far  

Other coin logos:  http://ukcryptocurrency.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/order.png

I think I like a more minimalistic look, some images I collected -------->  https://imgur.com/a/rzIzw

You are missing the point.  This is not an ICO.  This is a coin, with the theme of religion and helping the less fortunate.

How you missed the front page of this discussion is a bit mind boggling.

I never imagined this .. imagine if there is ICO with the theme of religion .. and this is real it is indeed ICO religion .. but I think this ico is very interesting because I just first see and read ico about this religion .. I hope ico this is successful and has a noble goal

For those not aware, we have sponsored a logo contest at Freelancer.

The contest entry phase has now closed.  We have 14 days to select a winner. Most of the entries are for JUST a logo, and not the complete package, so I will get in touch with Freelancer to determine how we can get additional material guaranteed with the prize money.  So the following link is the pool to select from what I think are the eight front runners (I'd have liked to had 10 but eight is the limit).  Many of the front runners submitted multiple designs with various tweaks and most seemed receptive to changes.

Go, vote and lets see if we have a new logo!

If you'd like to donate BBP to help defray the costs, my donation address is BGtF8NTiUF3cTMJ62Ps7G1wtYU7sD5nkvG but please give feedback on the contest without feeling any obligation.

Thanks for all the good work with this coin!
I have some questions:
1. How do I generate a receive address with for example 1000 BBP instantsend from the command line? In the GUI it looks simple but I can't find any documentation regarding this for command line.
2. How many devs are there in this project? github only shows 1
