Most of the documentation for UTXO staking, BBP University and POP3 can be found in the referenced documents in this wiki page:
Announcement: https://wiki.biblepay.org/Mandatory_Upgrade_1545
UTXO:  https://wiki.biblepay.org/UTXO_Mining
DAC: https://wiki.biblepay.org/Decentralized_Autonomous_Charity
POP3: https://wiki.biblepay.org/Decentralized_Email


Explain Important Changes to the BiblePay Network at height 255,000:

- DWS will temporarily stay enabled for existing payments only (but will be disabled for new stakes) until all old stakes are paid.  This is so we can promote UTXO mining instead.
- UTXO mining replaces DWS.  With UTXO mining you can be rewarded the coinbase mining block reward when you add a new UTXO stake, and, additionally you can receive a perpetual reward in the UTXO leaderboard (daily).
- DashStake will be disabled, but, you may re-stake the dash stakes as UTXO stakes.
- The wallet will support more crypto-currency pairs for UTXO mining!  At the cutover height you can stake BBP, or BBP+Dash, BBP+DOGE, BBP+LTC or BBP+BTC.  Once successful, we plan on voting more pairs in!
- UTXO mining appeals to 17 million Dash addresses, and 450 million unique Bitcoin addresses, giving us a large potential new user base!
- RandomX merge mining is still fully implemented for block security.  Since we are merge mined, no one can come in and "buy" BBP with hashpower.
- For all the blocks that are Not new UTXO transactions, our RX miners still get the subsidy!  The UTXO subsidy only goes to new staked UTXOs as a reward to bring popularity to our network from other (foreign UTXOs) - IE newbies.
- When you stake BBP only, you receive approx. half the reward.  When you stake BBP+any foreign currency, you receive up to double the reward.  The reward is based on the lower of the two values * 2.  For example, if you stake $200 of BBP combined with $150 of Dash, your UTXO is valued at $150 * 2 = $300.   If you stake $200 of BBP alone, the UTXO is valued at $200.  If you stake $150 of BBP + $200 of bitcoin, the stake is valued at $150 * 2 = $300.00.
- PODC is being phased out over 60 days.  During the first month, PODC rewards are halved.  Then during the second month they are reduced to 0 while UTXO rewards are ramped up to 99% of the daily GSC contract.  Healing is still available at 1%.


If you encounter any questions, please feel free to ask so we can add to the documentation.

Please check your wallet version to ensure you are on 1.5.2.9 or higher?  And you are in sync with chainz:
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/bbp/

And that you have peers? 
You can also check that your system clock is correct.

If you still have problems you can email me personally at rob@biblepay.org also.

Hi All,

I just wanted to inform the Monero miners, that BiblePay has moved to the RandomX algorithm!
You can now merge mine BiblePay (with Monero) and earn DOUBLE the reward and help orphans at the same time.

Btw, we are committed to helping the monero network by ensuring that our solutions keep monero on the right best-block so merge mining with BBP does not hurt you in any way or hurt the monero network!

To get started, you can use the same xmrig miner you always use and you can even earn a 26K welcome bonus by starting here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5300673.new#new

God bless you and please help us help orphans!

***** Welcome Bonus to Start is now 29,000 BBP ! *****


First you earn double the rewards as compared to mining Monero alone:  When you merge mine BBP, you earn XMR + BBP!
Use the standard RandomX mining program but mine in the BIBLEPAY Pool instead and help orphans at the same time!

To claim the new miner faucet reward:

1. Download and sync biblepay (v1.5.1.4+).  NOTE: This must be the DESKTOP version of biblepay, not the cell phone version.
2. Click Tools | Information | Console      
       From the RPC console type : faucetcode
3. Paste the faucet code in a post here in this thread, along with your country.
     (Optionally read more about biblepay and salvation at foundation.biblepay.org.)
4.  Start mining against foundation.biblepay.org with randomx, so we can see your address in the leaderboard.
**** BE SURE TO MINE FROM THE BIBLEPAY ADDRESS THAT begins with your 'faucetcode' code.
For example, if your faucetcode is:
BzXj5kV9LVUZGF4ipFCRmkzBbZu366grJt-1-41-89-52-131
then you will need to mine with randomX from address:
BzXj5kV9LVUZGF4ipFCRmkzBbZu366grJt

5.  Here are the directions to mine with randomx:
https://wiki.biblepay.org/index.php?title=Upgrade_to_RandomX


Then, as long as we believe you are a new miner, we will send you a reward of approximately (see OP post header) BBP if you to be new and unique.

NOTE: You do not have to paste your reward address; the faucet code contains enough info for us to send your reward to you.

Thank you for using biblepay.

Dear All,

This topic has been moved to:

https://forum.biblepay.org/index.php?topic=517.new#new


Please update your bookmarks.

    BIBLEPAY is getting STRONGER 


One of our strengths is CHAINLOCKS, a feature that is not in BITCOIN.  We enabled Chainlocks at block 187000.

                                                 
We are the only coin with Monero-RandomX in the Bitcoin branch.


    ! Great job to everyone who helped bring us to this point !

Please see this wiki page first:
http://wiki.biblepay.org/Preventing_Preimage_Attacks

While implementing dual hash mining, I encountered the Preimage attack vector, and decided to use our equation for dual hash mining instead of classic merged mining (they are almost the same, but a couple small differences exist on the pool side and in the wallet). 

Yes, the good news is the underlying wallet does support every RandomX coin (not just XMR). 
Our block solution requires a RandomX header (from any RX based coin), proof that you are mining at the right height, and, the dual-hash (blake) solution.

However, there are a couple practical things stopping us from simply starting a second line of pools for coins other than XMR:
1) Accountability - sporks.  The spork allows us to enforce solutions that only come from pools we trust (pools that promise to pay each months orphanage liquidation).  We initially chose XMR so we can easily liquidate the earnings.
2) A new branch of Nomp or foundation.biblepay.org Pool specifically branched and code tailored for that other coin.  This is a minor change, to nomp for example, but - it is a real change requiring developer hours and testing.

So my actual view on the matter is I wanted to see the viability of XMR + BBP for a few months, and know that it will certainly generate orphan revenue, and be a success or not a success.  Then rerelease a pool with a little more orphan security  (one that prevents people from circumventing the tithe completely).  The biblepay core wallet has all the code necessary for security already in production.  The only rules that we really need in baby step 2 is enforcement of the 10% tithe on the miners.  This can certainly be done on the pool side.

So to make end-to-end security I think we will need to :  monitor the pool liquidations of each address, add the sporks before the end of this month for the known pools, and enable the enforcement of hashpower for the 10% tithe over the monitored span  (on the pool side).

Now in the future, if we grow signifigcantly I dont see why we cant focus on a second pool type (for another coin).  If anyone is very zealous about this you can start now; you wont really need me to run the other pool.  I would be open to working with that person and enabling the spork for that pool, if they promise to give the 10% for orphan charity back to the designated orphans, etc.   

On the nomp pools, they simply pay out 105 blocks later and the payment should be allocated in this page by block no:
http://biblepay.miningpool.fun:11180/history

Could you please tell us if you still didnt get payout after 105 blocks after one of the blocks shown on that list that your address is in, if so what is your address and the block nbr that you appear in on that list?

The owners name is Song and I spoke to him last night and he appears to be a legit player and good person (he said he is committed to transferring the orphan balance each month to one of our orphans.  We established his first orphan here: https://biblepay.cameroonone.org/bios/277f6767.htm  ).  So afaik, the honesty should be there.

Btw, his email is on the front page if you need to contact.

Rob

PS  If you are talking about the XMR side please let me know - that balance can be seen in the XMR tab but you must disable the popup blocker, I believe.

To attract more Christians to Biblepay, I created this Biblepay WIKI PDF outlining the parallels to Exodus as compared to the current age:



https://wiki.biblepay.org/index.php?title=Parallels_of_the_Exodus


About Easter:

While we solemnly mourn over Jesus agonizing crucifixion this Easter, and rejoice over our salvation that he provided by providing atonement for our sins and making a path of salvation for us, remember that the Jews are celebrating Passover at the same time (during the 8 days of April 8th through April 16th).   

It is no coincidence that Passover for the Jews falls on Easter for the Christians; because Jesus is our passover lamb, the final sacrifice for our sins (meaning there is no reason for further sacrifices on the altar).  Nevertheless ultra-orthodox-Jews who still have not accepted the Messiah will celebrate passover.  The reason it is of no coincidence is because Father God planned that Jesus ministry would end at the exact moment (on the calendar) that Exodus occurred.  After the 10 plagues of Egypt, when Pharoah finally gave in, the children of Israel escaped bondage.  However, on the night that the Angel of Death passed over (this was the 10th plague, death of firstborn Children Exodus 11:1), that was the true Jewish first passover.  The children were told by Moses to put the lambs blood on their doorposts and that the death angel would pass over.  And so this affliction only killed the Egyptian babies, but not the Hebrew babies.  God knows this date was to be between April 8th and April 16th on our calendar.  Thats why he sent his son to die for us on the same date, because he is our passover lamb.

So, I've been researching Exodus I, II, and what I call III (the final exodus, or the rapture), and piecing together fascinating connections between the three.  When something repeats in the bible, its called a "Type".  Meaning that what was before will be again.  I believe the Rapture will be a "Type" of Exodus.  Therefore I am creating a wiki page with the connections that I show between this current Passover and the historic two exodus'.

I was recently contacted by the CEO of PolisPay, Enrique, for a potential partnership.  He seems like a great guy.

I'm working with him on potentially adding BiblePay to his list of acceptable coins to make transactions on their next MasterCard.

I also offered advice on anything that we have that he might be interested in.

Question, I'm being told the post about the new XMR miner reward is a duplicate, but I don't see any other post about an XMR reward:

Note ! A new reward of 14,100 BIBLEPAY  - Increased on April 9th, 2020  - for new Monero or XMR - RandomX Miners is available as of this morning

     Fractional Sanctuaries are being Released this Weekend!   


According to MNO:
https://masternodes.online/currencies/BBP/

Our sanctuaries (another name for Masternodes, except Sanctuaries can be used for 'physical processes' in addition to 'computer processes' in the future:
Currently earn 42% ROI.

? Won't it be nice to have a feature where we offer turnkey fractional sanctuary slicing ? 

We will be one of the few to gain this feature also.  (As after GIN went out of business, most coins lost this ability).

I'm being forced to rephrase my post about 2fa deposits and withdrawals.

We have a new feature coming this weekend, that allows you to make deposits and withdrawals at :
https://foundation.biblepay.org

But only if you set up a 2FA pin.

Please feel free to test this with smaller amounts to make sure its ready for prime time.

You can create an account by making a "https://forum.biblepay.org"  account first, then logging in, then setting your 2fa pin.

Then you want to send a deposit to the foundation, and check your balance.

Then later you can withdraw the money and lose zero.

Ill explain how to test fractional sancs over the weekend.

Yes, the kids will look a little wide.  It makes sense because we have multiple bio providers, and you can't make an aspect ratio when you dont control the source of the aspect ratio.  (Or if you want, you can design a new page in a different way and Ill be happy to link to it).


On foundation.biblepay, yes, I believe the stats should match, and I was asking for a miner who has > 1MH to verify this and thats not for charity shares, its for total shares - BBP vs BBP.  Im looking for pool verification not charity verification.


I would suggest Not going in discord and saying things that arent true about : do what you want with the code and compile it any way you want, and hack charity shares.  No, the idea with biblepay is to prevent any corruption.  If you find that any stats are different then I need to know about it.  There of course are ways for us to plug corruption.  We are going to enforce the pool spork list, and also, enforce mining against the pool that doesnt give 10% to charity, and yes, there is a plan in place to do that.  Sure you can tell them to waste their time and recompile the wallet for no reason and try to cheat us on purpose (but it is fruitless).

Sample Left Behind Letter:
https://san.biblepay.org/Theology/Left%20Behind%20Letter.pdf

One of my side projects that I'm working on is making a rapture ready backpack; this is something I will leave in my house to be found by those who are left behind (or those who find my house who are left behind).

In this we will place important information like: A left behind letter and any instructions (where to find the food that is stored away, etc).  And anything else that might be helpful for them to make it through the remaining years of the Great Tribulation.

Here is a copy of my left behind letter if you would like to use it.  In my case I'll be printing it out and hanging it on walls also in places where the unsaved are also.

https://san.biblepay.org/Theology/Left%20Behind%20Letter.pdf

Let me know if you want one without my name in it and Ill make a second one with a blank space.

This post was censored by bitcointalk, because of the quality of development happening here (as compared to the stagnation on the other forums), apparently out of jealousy.

Its related to our project, because we still need help with this.



This new feature is ready to test.  Please test deposits and withdrawals on foundation.biblepay.org.

Note that you may deposit if logged in (whether you have 2FA or not), but you can only withdraw funds if you have 2FA enabled and you are authenticated.

Feel free to try to hack it or break it.

This is in preparation for Fractional Sanctuary Deposits.

We are one of the few with: CHAINLOCKS in Production.  (A feature BITCOIN does not have!)


We are the only coin with Monero-RandomX in the Bitcoin branch.

I would still appreciate some feedback from some miners who are mining against Nomp vs. Foundation.
Specifically the comparison between total shares (not charity shares), total shares between Nomp and Foundation.biblepay.org.

And especially from a miner with more than 1MH, as I want to account for any large influx discrepancies (for example the effect of more BBP shares per XMR shares as compared to a small miner).

I just want to make sure the small miner is getting treated equally, and if there are any differences between pools Id like to know what they are.

Has any large miner tested foundation.biblepay.org yet?

Also, any downsides to the foundation that is keeping new miners from coming in?

** Mission Critical Post (deleted by bitcointalk) - RX POOL OPERATORS **

Pool Operators:  If you are running a RandomX pool, please e-mail me (rob@biblepay.org) and lets set up a mailing list to ensure we are all on the same page.

I'm not sure who is running miningpool.fun, but I sent you an e-mail, please reply to me.

We will act as a team and set up a standard monthly orphan liquidation method for the XMR, and ensure it goes to the active and current sponsored orphans first.

I need this message to be seen and replied to by our pool operators, and this is the only place for this post.

This PDF, titled "The Executive Summary of Jesus Christ":

Is available here:


https://san.biblepay.org/Theology/The%20Executive%20Summary%20of%20Jesus%20Christ.pdf

(The purpose of this PDF is to introduce Jesus to Corporation employees.  The idea is to send this to a CTO for example and have him/her forward this to employees.)


Feel free to use it as you wish to spread the gospel.

Lets move down to the baby level so I know what URLs are being clicked, etc.

From my view you should navigate to "foundation.biblepay.org" and expand the 'Account', then click Log In, and it should then take you to forum.biblepay.org and ask you for credentials if you are not logged in.  If you are logged in, your screen should refresh with "Sun" at the top left and you should be back in the foundation.

Please elaborate where the process breaks (exact urls and clicks etc).

** Foundation.biblepay.org Pool **

Btw, I wanted to mention this pool simply uses vardiff on port 3001.  So far I don't see any downsides to this approach.

This pool shoots for a 2 minute solution time regardless of how big your rig is.
So another words, if we give you a 2,3,4,5,6,7 difficulty and you still solve it fast, we give you an 8,9,10.
You *are* rewarded for the difficulty level you solve - so for example if you solve a 5 diff you receive 5 shares more in the pool.

This technically eliminates a lot of other junk related to setup also.

It also handles handles multiple connections under the same address, etc.

---

Our GSC (generic smart contract) currently requires a daily stake, to prove that you own a certain amount of coins relative to your BOINC RAC.

Each daily contract looks for this stake to be present, otherwise we don't include that researcher in that days rewards.

So you could theoretically open the wallet once per day for a minute and manually type 'sendgscc wcg' and then close it, or, you can leave it run and have the daily transaction transmit once per day automatically.

** Sanctuary and Chainlocks Bulletin for block 187,000 **


Now that RandomX is stable and our difficulty has surpassed 1.0, we are planning to enable Chain Locks.  This is an exciting moment for Biblepay.

Realize that we are one of the few coins that exist that have chainlocks in Production (Other than Dash, who created it).

And, I believe we are the first Bitcoin based coin to have RandomX. 

In preparation for this, anyone who has a sanctuary, could you please ensure it is up and running?  As, once we enable Chain Locks, we move into strict mode meaning the Sanctuaries will be POSE banned and not paid if they do not respond to quorum requests.  Obviously we want to have a smooth cutover.

Lets shoot for block 187,000.


Update:

We have enabled Spork 17 (Deterministic sanctuary quorums) at block 187,000.

---

** Short term workload updates for foundation.biblepay.org **

So we still need some testers to test the 2FA, I see we have a little bit of testing but I think everyone forgot to finish.

My short term plans are this:
- To gain more XMR-BBP traffic, I plan on 'mutating' the gospel feature (the one that allows you to solve a chapter in foundation.bbp), into something slightly different.  I'll make it where you have to be randomx mining first, and the applicable participants have not solved one quiz in the last 24 hours.  We can make it where you can click your own link to participate.  This will theoretically allow us to advertise the eqivalent of a randomx faucet (for solving the gospel quiz).  So basically, new RX miners will have the impetus to join and start mining first then click on the link to get the quiz then the reward.  We will also be able to pour in more investment into it since it will be focused.

- I'm working on implementing deposits and withdrawals in the 2fa secured account next.  This will theoretically pave the way for the next cool feature, such as fractional sancs.

UPDATE:  Now we are ready for testers to test 2FA, Deposits and Withdrawals.

** Reward of 13K for new Monero or XMR - RandomX Miners **

https://forum.biblepay.org/index.php?topic=503.new#new


The reward is being increased to 13,000 bbp for new RandomX Miners!

---

Update:

Anyone who was mining on rx.biblepay.org that has an XMR balance, you can still access the balance from any of our pools from the "XMR inquiry tab" by pasting your XMR address there.  You can also access the balance in foundation.biblepay.org in the "XMR Inquiry" page.

So of course no XMR is lost during the switchover.

** CHAINLOCKS ARE ENABLED **


Please keep an eye on your sanc's to ensure they are not POSE banned.

** 2FA, Deposits and Withdrawals **


This new feature is ready to test.  Please test deposits and withdrawals on foundation.biblepay.org.

Note that you may deposit if logged in (whether you have 2FA or not), but you can only withdraw funds if you have 2FA enabled and you are authenticated.


Feel free to try to hack it or break it.

Ok thanks, I see it now.  Yeah I was not aware that miningpool.fun upgraded.  (I only heard from Sunpool so far, that he would wait a little longer to check things out).  That might be Leopools pool, is that you Leopool?

Anyway we will have to keep an eye on the charity addresses towards the end of April to make sure everyone puts their contribution into a common cause (Ill update soon on SAI.NGO, Im reaching out to him today to see if the bios are ready yet).  I see miningpool.fun generated .02 XMR so far, thats a great start.

Anyway the nomp version of Biblepays pool is opensource so that explains how they are operating; yes - they are in addition to foundation.biblepay.org.  Ill let Leo tell us if he crashes, etc.  I dont mind at all if we continue two code bases, as long as we dont have crashes or support problems.  If we have support problems I will recommend the new pools move to c#.

So as far as the question about the XMR withdrawal threshhold, you could theoretically use your single XMR address and mine against both foundation and miningpool.fun - and those would accumulate under the same address; then you can withdraw from either pool when you hit the amount you want; so yes you can do that!

Thanks

Hi,

1) The miningpool.fun brings me to a site that is down?  Not sure if that is a biblepay resource, or a monero resource.

2)  You don't need an account to mine at foundation.biblepay.org - see the getting started guide.  Its so similar to nomp that you can just switch the dns address and continue mining.  

On a side note, as long as things look good in 48 hours, we will bring rx.biblepay.org back up to let it make all the old payments.  You don't have to change either of your addresses btw.

Great!  Mine is working too for my account (so far I dont see any holes).

If you want you can set up a 2nd forum account, and log in from an incognito window or another browser (by making a 2nd foundation account) and see if you can confuse it, but I doubt there is a way.

Or we can wait until deposits work and test further.  I feel like deposits will be ready within a day or two.

** Sanctuary and Chainlocks Bulletin for block 187,000 **


Now that RandomX is stable and our difficulty has surpassed 1.0, we are planning to enable Chain Locks.  This is an exciting moment for Biblepay.

Realize that we are one of the few coins that exist that have chainlocks in Production (Other than Dash, who created it).

And, I believe we are the first Bitcoin based coin to have RandomX. 

In preparation for this, anyone who has a sanctuary, could you please ensure it is up and running?  As, once we enable Chain Locks, we move into strict mode meaning the Sanctuaries will be POSE banned and not paid if they do not respond to quorum requests.  Obviously we want to have a smooth cutover.

Lets shoot for block 187,000.

Ok, I see the problem; people without avatars are being blocked;  we fixed this once but it got reverted somehow;  Now either account should work again;  Please try again.

Thanks on the quiz,  Yeah, I couldnt find a NKJV text format like we have, so I used the actual wallet as a source.  But as far as solving it, you can use an online bible resource for example, if you receive 1 Corinthians 10, then just google "1 Corinthians chapter 10 KJV" and something like bible gateway will come up.  I realize some view that as cheating but the idea in this quiz is not to prove someone memorized the entire bible, but instead to get them to read the 10 verses (as solving it requires them to read it). 

The coins are coming from my wallet, I figure what better way to grow the project than invest in it myself.

(We dont have a budget for payroll or PR for a while til we pay off the last new exchange fund deficit, and I hope that is finished within 6 months).

EDIT:  Thats great on bbprig!  Hopefully it solves a couple of these other problems we heard of also.

1) Explorer.biblepay is better, but, our seed nodes should work anyway
2) You do have to restart the wallet after changing biblepay.conf, then run exec rac.  You should still see some coin-age even if its miniscule.
3) You dont have to re-bankroll the coins, but if you did the coin-age will be pretty low til it builds up again.


You can test your external purse with 'exec boinc1'.
If its setup, it will send 1 bbp back to you.

Yeah, I think you ran into the exact same problem.  So let me explain the mechanics of the external purse.

The external purse is nothing more than the public and private keypair associated with the "Christian-Public-Key", which is the one that is used for PODC staking.
When you run the 'exec associate' command, we store those two keys in your biblepay.conf file (they start with externalpub and externalpriv).  When the config data is moved, these keys should be moved also.

Without them the wallet won't stake automatically as it cant access a way to sign the transaction.

So these should still be copied in Dave.  If you cant access them from the old biblepay.conf, I can tell you how to recreate the key manually.



To all others:  Anyone who needs to move your datadir, please dont recreate biblepay.conf please copy it so you maintain all the old keys.


Actually Dave, your right, 'exec createpurse' does re-write the keys if they don't exist.

Aha, I see the problem, I was looking in the wrong area.
First,
"When I updated the wallet, I replaced wallet.dat in the new BiblePay folder with wallet.dat from the old BiblepayEvolution folder. If wallet.dat was missing, would my correct balance show on the Overview tab and with the command 'listaddressbalances'?

Also I am not sure why I am not listed on the Leaderboard. Boinc is running fine and my contribution history is shown on the WCG website. Maybe I should back up wallet.dat, uninstall the wallet and start from scratch?
"

->  Since you moved the wallet.dat, all your balances should be fine.  I see in your listaddressbalances, you have the credits, so yes, everything moved, afaik.

->  Looking at our datalist associations (exec associate etc), I can see your BQ5 is definitely associated with your cpid  98aa.  So, no you wont have to start over from scratch.  Its just a matter of ensuring your BQ5 is funded, but I see you do have the balance of 26K in there, so that is not the problem.

That leads us only to one final thing, why is exec rac showing zero coin age, but yet you funded your CPK?

The problem I believe is your biblepay.conf file, could you please go back to your old bbp config file and extract the contents that have your Christian public key public and private rows, and paste them in your biblepay.conf in the ~/.biblepay location?

Then if you do that and restart the wallet, then do the exec rac, you should see your rac then.  The primary issue is the wallet does not have access to the external purse anymore.

If you dont have access to those (conf keys) anymore, I can tell you how to recreate that data with commands.
