Can anyone please help me on my reddit post? Trying to install wallet/set up mining on linux

https://www.reddit.com/r/BiblePay/comments/6ummuj/how_to_mine_biblepay_on_linux/dnvxs3z/

Thanks

Could it please be added a version number to the wallet download button at http://biblepay.org/ ?

Currently i'm downloading every day and look at the file details to see if there is a new version.

No this is not the case (LOL, what kind of pool would that be).  No the pool hands out equal difficulty work to everyone.  As you solve the shares, the work is checked against biblepay to make sure your solution is not only a good hash, but matches the solution in biblepay for the original problem.  Then you receive credit for the share.

If you were to ask me if we have a speed inconsistency problem, let me say this:  I see absolutely no problem in the measurement of HPS or the reward in HPS2 per CPU class in the pool.  What I find unusual is how windows machines can achieve an HPS2 of almost as high as linux machines, with HPS showing much lower than than linux HPS.  That is it that is my only inconsistency on my mind.  Everything else Im happy with, as we are promoting fair mining shares per node.

As far as the pool helping, I think the pool provides a fair avenue for mining.  Without it you would be out there solo mining.

Maybe youre right but with no info from devs we only can guess

Silly me

I think there is more than likely the issue is that the pool does not take difficulty into consideration.  If you have a high hashrate it will give you higher difficulty shares yet it treats your shares no differently than lower difficulty shares.  I think that is why running multiple dameons helps.  You are essentially saturating your system's cpu and in the process submitting more low difficulty shares.  This is just a guess though. For awhile I thought it was the pool not sending work quick enough but cpu usage seems to be stable.  The question then becomes, what is the sweet spot to hash the most shares without increasing difficulty?  This is all speculation though as you can't even see the miner in action.  Kind of ironic that the goal is to stop farm styling mining yet there is only one pool making it difficult to solo mine.

I started to write again a "babling post" and get an answer that "this coin is for  me". But God said to forgive people... but i think ignorong someone is a sin...

Here it is, lets move the Sanctuary testnet conversation here :

http://forum.biblepay.org/index.php?topic=16.msg94#msg94

One addnode is : node.biblepay.org

You should be able to hit 'telnet node.biblepay.org:40001'

Ill post a hash over there.

Could you please give me a few nodes to connect to in testnet? I have 0 connections. Also, what is the last block on the chain (and its hash), so that I know when I'm synced?

Its semi-automated right now.  I have to run a job and do a couple manual things.  They will be processed by Friday though.

Our batch job picks up any unsent approved (being 7+ upvotes) letters and marks as sent, pays the bounty, and sends it to compassion (after converting to a PDF with pictures embedded).

Yeah, let me create a thread real quick and then Ill edit this.  I created a masternode wiki article.  

The sanctuaries are coming online now in testnet.

As far as the price, West, its 500,000 tBiblepay.

@Bible_Pay

How are the outgoing letters processed again? As in the time between each outgoing queue is processed? Thanks -

Keep writing those letters all! After yesterdays Vegas tragedy, I feel ever more pressed to tell people about the Light.

I've got a free day more or less tomorrow, going to try and work on the other pool but I've got a ton of testnet BBP and will fire up a MN too when time permits.

Since this is on the testnet, is this real BBP or tBBP (test BBP)?

You missed one zero there buddy. It's $25,000.

As bible_pay said, it's probably the other way around - new exchanges should actually increase volume and price, and not distribute volume out and lower average value. At least that's what I've seen in experience with a couple of coins. It's because those new exchanges hold thousands of buyers who are using only that exchange.

For example, take a look at this recent quote from this very thread:


Also, every exchange has some way to discover new coins, so a lot of people first hear about a coin when they see it on their exchange.

HELP NEEDED FOR SANCTUARIES for Christmas go live:

Ive been doing a little testing over the last few days for the upcoming sanctuaries.  I discovered I will need a lot of help otherwise we cant go live with sanctuaries.

We need at least 8 or so testers in the sanctuary thread (the thread does not exist yet).  Im going to deprioritize the news testing thread, and create a sanctuary thread and post it here by the end of the day, and lets focus on testing in that thread otherwise, we wont have a chance of going live at Christmas.

There are a lot of variables, and here are some, that need worked out:

- Testing requires linux - because windows will not run watchman on the wall (thats the decentralized sanctuary database)
- Testing requires 500,000 bbp to be sent to the new testnet masternode (actually send more, so you have extra first) - this is not the final amount to run a sanctuary, its the testnet amount
- Testing requires an external open IP, IE you need to be able to run with the firewall port 40001 open
- Testing needs to have the latest version of BBP compiled from source

As you can see this is a complicated endeavor and therefore requires a lot of help to get this working properly by Christmas.

If you want to get started you can do the above and sync the node up in testnet and then you will be almost ready to help.
The reason I cant do this myself is there are security rules in place that hang up on other sanctuaries if certain conditions are not met, and they cant be disabled.  One particular rule is dont accept inbound connections from sanctuaries unless the mnsync status is 999, and that will fragment the network.  IE we need more than 4 or so synced nodes to test this properly.  Also, the governance qurorum is going to require a few synced sanctuaries in order for us to test voting on the fake proposal.  The fake proposal will have the orphanage budget in it, etc.  Otherwise, I cant see the votes.

Hi guys,
I know this is irrelevant, but the difficulty for block 10427 is 10427.1762.  I had to share this useless but coincidental information.

I saw a post come across that someone wanted to be a technical writer but dont see it in the last 5 pages anymore.  If you are still interested in joining the slack team send me an email to : [email protected] and we will send you an invite. 

Well its certainly an impressive API.  I like how the group coded it in Go, which is a language I never used, but its certainly interesting.
It looks to be well thought out, extensible and useful.  I see its constantly changing - being expanded and contributed by over 10 people.
It appears at the core, the bitcoin daemon runs with segwit turned on, and that participating nodes form a service over a secure channel.
I think the core functionality is that a merchant can transmit an invoice on the fly in an encrypted string over the channel into the hive of daemons, and then
one chosen node picks up the invoice and the corresponding payment and pays the invoice, thus facilitating payments using tokens (IE lets pay $1 to XYZ from user ABC) without either having to type 60 characters in, its a full fledged po/invoice/payment decentralized payment system.

As far as modifying it and running it with BBP instead of BTC, maybe.  I mean there are a lot of factors to consider and what its primary use case is.  One involves if each masternode would be a lightning node, and be required to update every time lightning changes, or if we would have one lightning node run at 'biblepay central' (if we have such a place etc).  Right off the bat though, these questions can be answered by solving some of our most rudimentary requirements first and then the answers will be clear.  

Imo, we need order depth, volume, and usefulness for biblepay.  So I think after the sanctuaries go live, we still seek to be listed on a few of the big exchanges, maybe we pay them in BBP if they refuse to help us for free) and that should help half of the volume problem (as volume does not thin out when we expand exchanges like some posts claim here, it increases), that will help a lot causing volume to go from .2 btc per day to 5-6 btc a day.  Then we integrate with one debit card.  I think we really need to prove that you can order a roll of silver coins with BBP to have around during the great tribulation, maybe an order for some emergency food pails, just prove that biblepay is a useful currency.  You can also use your BBP debit card at a restaurant.
