Topic: BiblePay - New Coin Launch - Official Thread - page 8. (Read 119804 times)

Our code is making it take place, they dont accept BTC.

You can write more than one letter and receive more than one bounty.
The letters are sent out to compassion by a separate process, after the letter is upvoted past 7 upvotes and when the batch is ready to be sent.  So approximately 2 times per month they are sent, and then marked as "Sent".

Please elaborate on what letter format means.  Please see letter writing tips.

i think so this one is related to religious activities

Yeah, its something to do with the way they rewrite all the packets.  It tends to make it fragile.  Im just going to go with a real ssl cert later today for the actual server.

Im going to be enabling SSL a little later today, but currently, pool.biblepay.org has SSL disabled and its working for everyone in standard mode, so please explain the issue in more detail.  For now dont use SSL until I resolve the cert problem.

No, You miss something. When Biblepay coin is launched. I opened a bitcointalk account, you check my date register and bible_pay register time.I mine this coin since day 1 . I have also some mining video's on this thread(Earlier Page's you can find). Just holding and waiting with 3.5m BBP. We will see it in the future!

not worth it. i tried but stopped it

Does anybody know a cheap cloud server with low monthly fee's

Hi Rob,

could you please have another check of the cloudfare SSL. I seem to be having issues again.

Thanks

I guess cloudflare bothered way too much. Took all connections from all ports and made everything more complicated. Pool is not just a web content.

However, a new subdomain can be created

cname     value                          proxy
secure     pool.biblepaypay.org     proxy activated
pool         x.y.z                         dns only


so people connect to pool will not hit cloudflare's firewall. but subdomain will have ssl on. It is just an idea I did not try myself.

Bible_Pay why https doesnt work? 

Wow!


I have a question, do you only get a writing bounty for one letter?  If you write more than one do you not get a bounty for those?  How many letters are we sending to the kids?  Is it once per month they are sent?


Edit: Also, I think it would be helpful for a letter format to be followed. 

how is amazon able to accept orders using biblepay? i dont think they yet accept btc so how is that exchange taking place?

i still hold large amount of BBP like 3.5 m. We will see the price till next year!

Mini update on the state of affairs of BiblePay (or to put it another way, what is going on in TestNet):

The Temple idea was originally something like this: It would cost 15* the amount of collateral to run a temple, and pay 10* the reward (of a sanctuary).  The Temple would need to sync the pool code and the wallet code on a regular basis, and run a special service as an Amazon gateway, and be a market maker.

The Temple high collateral idea was killed (by me) recently, because it would have required a single block payment to the temple to exceed the block max.  I added code to require signatures, and it technically worked, but I decided to roll it back in favor of IT budgets paying for the service and that way we have higher security in the wallet.

So the Temples have been squashed for now, but the remaining elements of the temple is not squashed.

The Market Maker code works, and I think what we will do for now, is have a chosen sanctuary act as a market maker when someone wants to trade retirement funds.  Im in the process of releasing this to testnet.  It allows you to buy or sell retirement coins in a complex transaction.

The sanctuaries themselves are humming along properly in testnet; we are all paying each other the correct %s.

The fake proposals and budgets are now working with the pool and the sanctuaries, and seem to be pretty neat, as far as one random Sanctuary owner creating a forum topic, creating a proposal pointing to the URL, and all of us are voting on it and votes are reflected in the Proposals list.

The Amazon ecommerce gateway is coming along nicely.  As you can see now you can buy bibles on the pool through this same code.  (Ill be adding emergency food soon).
If you buy a bible using BiblePay, you will be able to see the tracking number in Status3 automatically.  The system has an elaborate API layer (called the BiblePay Mouse API) that tracks your package through amazons network.  This code is going to be exposed through the "chosen sanctuary" so that people can also buy a bible through the RPC console soon.  The BiblePay Mouse API also validates postal addresses and rejects orders to bad addresses.

I think realistically, in a few more days I will have instructions for the testnet users to test the retirement accounts and the ability to trade colored coins for normal coins.

That is a great analogy with the parable of the Talents.  Thanks.

I don't want to cause a division, and I welcome the community input.  What everyone has to understand is I have a responsibility to also protect the investor also, so things that make it to prod are hard to change.

While I don't want to sit here and fan the flames, let me say this.  A sanctuary is a place of refuge.  A place of safety.  Our sanctuaries will do some financial transactions but as long as the coin continues to resist 3rd party mining software, that task will also be handled by the wallets in play.  The primary function of the sanctuary is to vote and govern, lead the coin to a better place, not for the sole financial gain of the sanctuary holders but because of the huge gain to the orphan fund.  Consider if this coin does break the top 100, that would mean in rough numbers it would be generating close to $1 Million each month for the orphan fund.  Would some users get rich?  Yes.  But the gains to the charitable arm of the coin would be incredible.  And with all of that income, the role of the sanctuaries would be even more important, they'd have to oversee the management and stewardship of that fund.  And they will extend refuge and safety to the less fortunate which is one of the biblical mandates (and really a mandate of most religions).

There are a lot of biblical parables and stories, but why are we not talking about the parable of the Talents?  The servant buried his money was punished and told he should have at least given it to the money changers to earn interest.  Yet the third servant was lauded for making so much more from his initial fund.  The Bible is not anti-money nor even anti-wealth, it is merely that as your means increase you have more temptations, thus the story of the rich man versus the camel and the eye of the needle.  However, in our modern society, I think it could be equally said it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than 1) a rich man, 2) an attractive man, 3) a very intelligent man.  Faith is ultimately easier when you have nothing to lose, you're not really risking anything on the "leap of faith".  But that is not to say the former are lost causes, merely that they have to risk a position of advantage in their "leap of faith".

At the end of it all, can we agree that even among Christians of the same denomination there will be a wide range of beliefs on most topics.  I'd wager you'd not be able to get a consensus on this specific topic from ten randomly selected ministers.  So no matter what path this coin takes on most any topic, there will be a sincere difference of belief by some.  That's OK, but lets no belabor non-technical points once our points have been expressed.

i absolutely agree with you. if there is a way to change it. i cant find any. so id have to setup a new account if that is even possible on bitcointalk

you got me on the username handle. no way to change it. only through a new account perhaps.

i didnt disregard your opinion. I applied a biblical filter to it and asked you to do the same. Your opinion or my opinion on a great many things in life are typically very different from how the Bible sees things. The Bible helps corrects ones understanding to how God sees things.

You decided to start a project with the Bible in it. Did you not expect to be 'spammed' by people who have great zeal for it? You should consider them a great asset to the project as they will fight tooth and nail for the Truth. Those people are longsuffering and with noble intentions

It's kind of hard to take biblical hermeneutics on holiness seriously from someone who goes by "coinpimp321". Not that it makes your point incorrect but rather it seems to me that if you applied the same level of zeal towards the label placed on masternodes on the label you place on yourself (which is itself a temple of the Holy Spirit according to 1 Corin. 6:19) you would have to change your name. It obviously doesn't bother you nor do I think it should, instead why not extend the same level of grace you extend towards yourself towards those who have no problem with the label "sanctuary" on a masternode? To quote St. Augustine of Hippo, “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.”, so let's err on the side of liberty and charity and instead acknowledge that there is an essential difference between the attitudes and goals of the money changers in the Temple of Solomon and those that would be running sanctuaries on BiblePay.
