Let us pray that those who display a toxic attitude turn to love, and find Jesus.
You would think from the appearance of this community that we were not of Jesus.
I'm receiving so many Toxic e-mails and posts that I need to tell all of you who are negative, you really need to listen to the Gospel and find Jesus to continue in our project.
As a community we have been praying for you as well, I believe you don't really see what you are doing to the community. Please stop attacking those who don't agree with you. Take a chance that most of us are looking to better the project. Come join the discussion https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5030298.new#newI was not aware of the thread. Alright, I don't have time to go in there and reply today, since I am extremely busy, since our house burned down recently and the fire investigators need a lot right now (they have a tractor trailer picking up evidence). But I will say this: I apologize from the bottom of my heart for anything that has upset any of you. Please accept my apology. I can't agree on shutting down sanctuaries as that was my hobby (to set them up). You will all just have to trust that I won't vote inappropriately with my sanc weight. I will close the QT thread and cancel QT. Let's start over in a non-toxic environment going forward. One thing from my perspective that I want to mention: A lot of times when someone approaches us with a problem, the improper (non loving) reply stems from the way they describe the problem on the forum - they post as either with a mean-spirited attack, or post with swear words, or post with an attitude that it could be better. We need to construct a true case for an improvement and discuss it for a while amongst each other - and then give it to a director that represents biblepay in a full coherent way and then forward to me. Let's try to stop doing things in a mean spirited way. |

! Important !
We have a sanctuary poll in for this new potential feature: Quantitative Tightening for Biblepay: https://forum.biblepay.org/index.php?topic=264.new#newPlease vote if you are sanctuary. Edit: I'm not trying to speedily push through or turn on this feature without a discussion. The reason we are speedily testing the feature in testnet and creating a vote now is to find the sanctuary support level before our next mandatory goes live - which comes in only 14 days. If we see a lot of support for this, we might have it as a disabled spork in the next mandatory version, and if testing passes and the vote passes, we can potentially turn it on at a later date without a mandatory upgrade.

Hello BiblepayTeam!
...
Am I missing something?
Try again in 24-48 hours. the RAC reported in your BOINC manager will lag behind what pool.biblepay.org will records. Usually 24-48 hours. The faucet should work in 24 hours. I thought this was just a concept, not something with time already invested..
If it is a spork, I thought you can manage the setting as a parameter. Code can exist without it being activated. That's my understanding anyway... Yeah, but if the proposal has a chance to not pass... The dev time for this "feature" shouldn't be mixed in with any other dev pay. Now you're being facetious.  Replace Lola with Rob: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvcaSBN82nsRob has graciously given free time to the project, so I think whatever side-chain or off roadmap features he builds, it can be easily justified. I have my disagreements w/ Rob, but his billing practice isn't one of them. My billing has been set up to be a few months behind for that very reason. |

** PRE-UPDATE ON SEPTEMBER COIN LIQUIDATION **
Looking at this months budget, which is usually settled around September 29th, we are emitting approx. 14 million coins this month.
So looking at the ones that get liquidated for compassion, we have about 7 mil being sold soon on the open market.
(The ones for payroll are usually held by the devs and not sold).
Since a few people have asked me when will this happen (as far as their chance of buying etc) and how am I selling coins before the superblock hits, let me explain this (as someone had a rude comment earlier). I keep a few million coins laying around and usually shut down a few sanctuaries around the 20th. I borrow those free coins from myself and send them to the main exchanges (SX, CCEX, etc). I keep a spreadsheet of exactly (down to the penny) how much each trade was worth. Then I liquidate that amount at coinbase and record the transaction. Later when the superblock is emitted I pay myself back and set up new sancs.
So this month I'm notifying of the coming sale, so you have a chance to buy the BBP.
Look for this 7 mil liquidation around September 19th, over a 7 day period. Ill post again the morning that I start this (IE probably Wednesday) as a reminder.
EDIT: Someone accused me of comingling my personal funds with orphanage funds. I never comingled a penny. I fronted my own personal biblepay (which costs me the cost of not running sancs with it) and didn't restart those sancs until after the superblock was emitted, paid to the foundation and then I received the send transaction back to me- I never comingled a penny of orphanage funds. Do you prefer a specific exchange or will the 7M be equally distributed across all the exchanges BBP is on? I use CoinExchange myself... Most of it will be on southxchange because thats where the 52M order is currently. If the price is better on the other two ill inform. |

It appears someone has Repented for "CHILD SACRIFICE" on 09-04-2018 @ 00:48:43.
oh prayers for that person Yes, but also consider the legal implications. In the US there are several states with laws that require computer technicians who discover possible evidence of child abuse or neglect to report it to law enforcement. There are Federal laws that may apply as well. Why is that even in BiblePay as an option to select?!?! There are 40 mortal sins in the bible (for intents and purposes) and we have the 40 listed in the Repentance dropdown. |

I don't have experience with running multiple-wallets myself, nor do I have experience with the varying UTXO-updates. So maybe someone else can shed some light on that from a technical point of view.
Every time I used more than one wallet to PoDC, the automatic podc update transactions stopped working. That's something I experienced in the past. I don't know why or how to avoid the problem. I stopped mining before having the problem solved so I don't know how to help. Place this in any non-controller wallet config: utxooverride=-1 If the amount is less than zero, you will see in the log "Unable to create PODC UTXO::Target UTXO too low." and that should fix it. |

Please stop the name-calling, it looks foolish.
I understand that people is invested in BBP and lower prices are a concern for everyone. Knowing that this is a cyclical pattern in the crypto/alt-coin world does not help relieve the pain. However there is only one formula that has worked in the past and will work in the future, which is sticking to the plans, keeping the values strong, and try to offer higher value to the coin project, even in ever changing environments. Currently the money is out of the markets and it does not distinguish between the gold and the iron, the worthy and the scam. It's happening to practically all coins. The only way to survive is keeping up the good work, so when the money comes back to town, we are there in the first places in terms of technical development, governance and accountability. I agree with you about the painful cycles that occur in all equities markets, certainly in crypto. I also agree that sticking to the biz plan and maintaining strong values is vital to BBP's success. Integrity and transparency will set us apart from the scams taking place in other coins and exchanges. The current crypto market is similar to the US stock market dot-com bubble that inflated in the years leading up to 2000 and then burst shortly after Y2K. The companies that survived and now flourish have continued to provide innovative services that attract customers and investors. They also produce profits for investors thru earnings and stock price appreciation. One of the biggest challenges for BBP (and all crytpo coins) is to figure how to create earnings. As good as the charitable aspects of BBP, the CPU mining and research/BOINC features may be, they don't actually do that directly. One of Rob's solutions to the earnings challenge is to create a decentralized hedge fund. This is certainly innovative and has huge potential. There will obviously be hurdles to overcome while creating a non-profit that manages a hedge fund for charitable purposes. I like the concept and look forward to hearing more detail as this phase progresses, such as info about the types of equities the hedge fund will manage. In light of being transparent, I've been fortunate enough to reach an SEC attorney (with the help of God- Jaap knows the story), and we have had our initial consultation and we are still communicating daily in analyzing each potential path that might be legally possible to structure a fund. There are so many nuances involved, I think we will need to wait until a solid plan is developed (one that meets all regulatory compliance issues) and then circle back with how exactly DAHF works with biblepay. Its extremely important to us that we stay a Utility. I updated the first page of our OP today stating that we have a Deflationary emission schedule, and that we do not claim that we are an asset that is a Hedge of Deflation against world currencies or an investment. However, I don't mean to throw water on DAHF, I think it can still be a fundamental part of Biblepay in the future, once we have the exact legal foundation settled and the integration example (for mining or usage). In other avenues, I've been working on storing business objects in IPFS. And conforming to the GDPR. It appears that in addition to Document Storage, BiblePay could be very useful as a front-end-business system. In Testnet, we are going to have a proof-of-concept for our first business object: our Contact Record. Using contact records, a user can send one another biblepay via e-mail address. Another use of this is setting yourself up as a babysitter at a certain longitude and latitude. Another use is setting your organization up as a church, to accept Tithes (since the user record has a receiving address). We were thinking of sending free bibles - drop shipped to the first church who receives $1,000 in biblepay tithes. And Id like to ask MIP to add the tithe button to the mobile wallet (now that Mobile wallet can find a registered church by contact record). This new feature requires that we run IPFS in Sancs, or create a mining algorithm that pays Miners for proof-of-document-storage (one or the other or both). For GDPR compliance, the business objects *can* be deleted from Biblepay, since we dont store them in the chain, we store them in IPFS. So we will be the first to have a Delete button in our wallet to allow you to delete a record. (Our garbage collector will delete everything that is Not leased in the chain). I'm also working on creating an Organization object for biblepay. With this, our users can assign permissions to other users for RWAD (Read-write-add-delete) abilities. We can talk more about that in the testnet thread. On a side note regarding Stratis: Our team has completed the initial stratis integration. Our first daemon, biblepayd-stratis, compiles, syncs to the top block, the POBH algorithm was ported in and works, and the miner is 95% complete (it runs with some submission issues and errors). This initial version does not have governance or PODC in it however. That is where we decided to stop on stratis while we evaluate the highest priority features to be rolled out next for BiblePay (like IPFS and business-objects and DAHF). Our team has successfully created a GUI version (IE similar to QT) that has the ability to show a field display (IE the user balance), and the wallet *can* send and receive biblepay in c# to the c++ wallet. I didnt want to give anyone an impression that we missed that roadmap deadline. I will however, in light of all the competing projects (IE Church tithing, gospel links, etc), adjust the later phases of the stratis project to be in the future while we evaluate the most important features that need coded right now. |

Last monthly superblock ended Aug 31? What happens to the proposals created before Aug 31? Is there a cut off? Personally, I'm seeing same proposals from Aug 2018 (and some Sep 2018) with no votes or few votes.
Are you viewing the proposals in the Pool? Just look at pool.biblepay.org. |

The only way to survive is keeping up the good work, so when the money comes back to town, we are there in the first places in terms of technical development, governance and accountability. Yes; I agree with this 100%. Yes, we should be sticking to our fundamentals. Now I will explain why I deleted a few posts a couple pages back from people who start trying to change practices, or call us a failure claiming the original design has flaws, or claiming I'm the one making mistakes, or claiming we are untrustworthy. Let me state this in a clearer fashion: We never were untrustworthy, we have always paid all of our bills, and all of the expenses and income are clearly visible in a crystal clear manner and reconcile to accountability.biblepay.org. There is only one chain (Ive even received a PM stating we were hiding part of the block chain). There is only one chain and it adds up, and there are no hidden balances. I've invested in BiblePay because I believe in it, not because I worship Mammon. As a matter of fact one of my prayers this morning was to Burn the mammon out of BiblePay. I want God to be able to bless BiblePay's purity for its goodness, and lets extricate any spirit of mammon out of biblepay and code features in that help spread the Gospel. When we added a proposal to open the floodgates to more BOINC researchers, it is not out of desparation to 'change' the original mining algorithm - its a PR feature. It gives us the ability to enable the non-biblepay-team percentage spork. So anyone who claims we are a scam, please post Solid evidence and we will point you to the record that shows we have always been legitimate. In general I'm sure 99% of our base knows we have a legitimate and worthy mission and does not distrust biblepay. It's generally the scammers who don't trust us. The ones who won't enter the Kingdom of God because they are worldly and worship Mammon. |

Can you detail about IPFS (Decentralized File System) ?
Which client type will store files? masternodes only ?
How much disk space it will take ?
How much bandwidth ?
How much CPU ?
(will vultr let us run masternode if we add this feature)
Can one turn off the IPFS feature to save disk space / bandwidth /CPU ?
Can you detail about IPFS (Decentralized File System) ? -> Please read more at ipfs.io Which client type will store files? masternodes only ? -> In Phase 1, Sanctuaries only How much disk space it will take ? -> 5 gig How much bandwidth ? -> We will create Biblepay trusted IPFS nodes, so we can limit the bandwidth to be 25% of biblepay traffic How much CPU ? -> It only takes 10% of CPU on the $5 vultr (will vultr let us run masternode if we add this feature) -> Yes. I emailed vultr and they allow boinc, mining, and IPFS as long as you limit the use to no more than ~65% of the node. If you peg the node, they will take your whole account down. Can one turn off the IPFS feature to save disk space / bandwidth /CPU ? -> Yes, in Phase 1 users do not need to run IPFS but Sancs do. We are expirimenting with removing the Sanc Reward if the Sanc is not running IPFS. This is a spork. Coming Soon: Business Objects in Biblepay, and BiblePay Babysitter Search Services. |

https://forum.biblepay.org/index.php?topic=254.new#newSo far, the 'No BiblePay Team requirement' is passing in our sanctuary vote and our poll is pointing toward paying non-biblepay teams 50%. Our testnet thread successfully tested the no team requirement and the payment percentage. At this point we are beginning to schedule an end of month mandatory upgrade (right after we test IPFS-PODS).

Has there been a change in the way that letter writing is being handled? It appears that you now have to "adopt" a child and are responsible for writing them monthly instead of just writing a random letter. Is this understanding correct?
Thanks
You can either Adopt a child and write to them regularly, or write to them the old way. |

Explanations, right. What should we look into Dave? So when you clicked on the PDF, are you saying that its actually not really paid?
Are you saying that accountability.biblepay.org contains fake records? I explained hundreds of pages back that people like Mike have called to see if the payments were made and they were made.
So lets see, that leaves the income side. Are you saying the revenue record is fake? Doesnt it match the average current price?
I'm God Fearing, and there won't be one dollar shorting God's children if I handle a transfer/liquidation and my record shows it. Jaap handles Cameroon, I handle compassion, Andrew handles Kairos, April handles BLOOM, in a decentralized way we have split up the burden across many people.
I'm deliberately going to handle this inquiry another way. Stick to the revenue and expense records on accountability.biblepay.org and post any legitimate question here. Your pasting of illegitimate sanctuaries and transfers is redicules, and quite insulting.
As I explained before: the expense PDFs from last months (May through August) for Compassion only contain endless lists of "total amount due" and "to be billed today", which certainly doesn't look like a receipt but rather like an invoice (in contrast to those up to April). I'm not saying that these payments weren't made, it's just that this doesn't really qualify for an "accountability record" and most certainly doesn't help building any trust from investors. As for the revenue, I never said anything about these records and to be honest I never really looked at them because this should be quite easy to supervise through block explorers and coin price history... On another note: Our coin is now at an all-time-low and I'm pretty sure this is NOT just because no-one knows BBP or wants to invest in it. (Right now no one wants to buy ANY coin really.) The problem rather seems to be that while many (or most of the) other coins are currently just being "hodled", our coin is by design destined to constantly being dumped because of the recurring expenses in FIAT money. Let me ask a simple question: if Compassion has some kind of insurance for sponsored children, why are you so desperate to pay bills right now? (Even thinking of dumping a lot of those children at the expense of others?) Wouldn't it make much more sense to vote YES for the WHOLE Compassion fund, but then NOT exchanging the coins but rather collecting them in an " Orphan Fund", maybe even starting some sancs with it, and selling them in the next bull market? This way no sponsorship would have to be determined, the childen's coins would actually grow over time, and the coin price would have a chance to "breath again". If you all don't appreciate the way its being done, start your own coin. And to those who dont like the strategy here, youll be singing the blues when we are at 100 satoshi and our new investors will be quite happy. However, Im doing this for God, not for Mammon, thats why there is such a conflict here. All you money chasers, go find another coin, anyone we have left here, please stay. Has anyone gotten saved through BiblePay? |
