Regardless of what the percentage is I prefer the previous suggestion several weeks ago of a 15% "fund", with by-laws saying that a minimum of 10% goes to charity and the remainder can go to development (IT) or marketing or additional charity if the previous two items aren't needed.
Before the Masternode percentage gets set in stone, the two big things to determine are Masternode cost and how well it beta tests, and if December 25 is a reasonable target still. Then I would also include a provision in the Masternodes that grants them testcoins on the same basis. That way new Masternode features can be tested for a few months on testnet. Speaking of which, when are you expecting to start testing Masternodes?
Biblepay News has crashed the testnet both times I've tried to use it, causing us to restart the testnet blockchain. I like the utilization of the blockchain for other uses, but still don't know if news as such a temporal topic needs such immutable status.
But above all else...THANK YOU to the Dev for your tireless work with this labor of love.
Thanks for testing it out to see the bugs, as earlier stated the developer needs keen eyes for locating and snuffing out issues, I assume he also means within the testnet. I think the "Biblepay News" is an idea with it's heart in the right place but if it's causing problems then maybe just scrap it and reduce complexity.
Keep in mind that the developer is a busy man and has much to attend to.
"Bible Pay News has crashed the testnet blockchain"? LOL, No biblepay news isnt crashing. I dont even think its being tested. If anyone has a crash report, we need an explanation of how you reproduce the crash and the part of the log with the crash (not a paste of the whole log).
Here is the forum for that thread:
http://forum.biblepay.org/index.php?topic=14.msg91#newPlease test blockchain news, and post any issues there.
Yes, I still want blockchain news to be part of BiblePay, and I asked a week ago for someone to start checking on Best Practices for paraphrasing current news articles and copyright laws, and havent heard anything (just strong opinions as to why we shouldnt have it), but again, let me make a couple statements on my opinion:
- I would not have considered blockchain news if I thought it would be consuming too much size (the articles only consume 1k per page, thats miniscule)
- I would not have created a testnet thread if I thought it was a dumb idea
- I believe "old news" is still better than no-news in our blockchain
- Its immutability is fine in this case, as its a use-case for the blockchain
- We charge a storage fee to insert an article anyway, so thats a use case for burned coins, and benefits orphans
- There is only so much creativity that can be done by one person per week- so blockchain news is more of a creative effort, its not something that spams the chain (as it takes energy and effort to create an article). Take a look at the orphan letters- we have only written half of the required letters and thats on the web- because they take effort to write.
Regarding 7 minute blocks, I deliberately set up wide block spacing with the chain to save chain size and increase loading speed. I am against 1 min blocks.
We will have instandsend after the sanctuaries go live, so we really dont have any downsides after they go live.
You know I love this coin, but I reported in testnet thread two instances of when I submitted news articles. Couldn't ever get my miner to sync after that and low and behold the next day the testnet blockchain was restarted. Just now tried to submit an article and it crashed core (log below). Resubmitted it and it worked and is ID cd5b3dd24423241290b25e1f72563689eea2e58755f122504dca3cb299282a9c. Can read it but once again, I'm now out of sync with the network. I'll let it run all day and see if it resyncs or not.
Over 50 people killed and at least 400 wounded in a mass shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada. Reports are still incomplete and the story will unfold for days yet to come. But was is known is a gunman using multiple rifles shot thousands of rounds into a crowd gathered for a Country Music concert. The President of the United States of America is set to speak on live television about the attask. if the numbers hold true, it would become the deadliest mass shooting i
