Understanding Strange Flesh - Sundar Selvaraj:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-cetT8UaCM

So I woke up this morning and had the strange feeling to tell people on the board that if you are doing psychedelic drugs, or drinking Ayahuasca, or peyote, please realize you are being deceived by Satan!  

Satan is weaving a web of deceit in your life, giving you the false impression that you are going on a ride somewhere productive, with an alternate 'escape' environment, an entire ecosystem or an alternate reality is being built for you closer to the source of God, with real interactive beings, as McKenna says Machine Elves for example will give you presents and tell you they missed you and they love you and they handcraft things for you and you have pleasurable experiences.  But, Satan has the power to create this alternate environment for you, to lure you in to a false sense of safety.  This will hopefully get your mind warped so far that you believe there is more safety in drugs than in Jesus.  Jesus is our only rock.

I summarize this case (of Psychedelic Drug Abusers) to be very similar to Earth Lovers, which is idolatry, because you are believing the inner-earth is actually your God, you are regarding the 'trip' or 'high' as your God above your God!  This ends up being viewed as following foreign Gods, idolatry and can send one to hell in the end.

Taking a look at this mushroom forum:
https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/10928980

This is exactly what this group of individuals ended up believing of each other - they are Earth worshipers.  Just like we have plant worshiping, animal, ocean, moon etc.

“Create your own roadshow. The nexus of space and time where you are now is the most immediate sector of your universe, and if you're worrying about Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else, then you are disempowered, you're giving it all away to icons, icons which are maintained by an electronic media so that you want to dress like X or have lips like Y. This is s**-brained, this kind of thinking. That is all cultural diversion, and what is real is you and your friends and your associations, your highs, your orgasms, your hopes, your plans, your fears. And we are told 'no', we're unimportant, we're peripheral. 'Get a degree, get a job, get a this, get a that.' And then you're a player, you don't want to even play in that game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that's being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.”
― Terence McKenna

I give Terence (a mushroom snorting shamanic intellectual, of high caliber) a lot of credit for his advanced philosophical views, and his God Given abuse of intelligence and wisdom, but let me get to the point, any drug abuser who is escaping reality and trying to create his/her own is exercising Satans creation, and you are being deceived - you are not getting closer to God, you are getting closer to Satan.  

Finally, thinking of this incident, I also thought of Jim Morrison when he encountered the dead Indians.  He said the family was driving past an Indian Reservation where he saw a dead Indian, and believed the souls of other dead Indians leapt into him, so it influenced some of his future acts... I believe the fact that Jim was doing peyote before this incident, he opened himself up to being possessed by demons, and that in fact could have invited a legion into him.  The moral of the story is don't do things that allow cracks in your shield to let in dark forces.  Repent, and Jesus will give you the power to overcome all sins.  No matter how hard or hooked you think you are, Jesus can break those chains permanently, better than any rehab house!  You can literally wake up the next day loathing the stuff, thanks to Jesus.  Give Jesus a chance.

I'm here to be open minded.  Let's all keep the avenues of talk and ideas open.

I leaned toward making it hard to mine in the beginning because I felt what we have created is sacred and worth protecting (remember I said why have a honey pot in the back yard) etc etc. 

I'm neutral on this.  Let's keep thinking about this.

Thanks for the stats!

Yeah I think Solo Mining is organically high because active distinct pool CPIDs (IE active pool heat miners) probably only make up 28% of our distinct CPID list - and with the rule in the core that tries to reward distinct CPIDs, solo miners who are lucky are receiving blocks.  But its worth considering opening that up to anyone with a valid CPID with RAC, instead of a biblepay CPID with magnitude (for heat mining).  We have to be careful not to compromise on security.

Thats why I think considering the team removal would be the lower hanging fruit.

Ive always considered a wallet that is plug and play, like an iphone.  We can consider building a plug & play biblepay PODC client.

THANK YOU very much!

Looks like we need to go in with a more advanced test harness and see if it has something to do with our block.vtx[n].sTxOutMessage.  Those messages are limited to 3000 bytes each, so I didn't expect those to be the issue, but if they are being hashed, it could be part of the delay.

Not a bad idea (on the higher reward for the team user).  This is just being discussed to see what the general population thinks.  If we actually decide to vote on this Ill make some type of popularity poll first.

Not possible in a free market.  Its true that more miners increase the trading frequency, which is good for liquidity and market depth, but cheap coins are always bought by investors looking for deals along the way.

Thanks for your opinion, but spreading our popularity DOES have lasting effects, and one of the ways to spread popularity is to make it easier to mine (thats how we adopt ourselves to new users).

One of the barriers of Biblepay is its technical difficulty in setting up both PODC mining and Heat mining.

Thats why we are having this conversation.

A success story like Litecoin was born because they made the wallet easy to mine for thousands of miners.  Those miners became investors along the way and loyal users.  The loyalty paid off over time and due to more demand than sales and the price went from $1 to $80 a coin.

With the recent slump in price, I'm starting to look at ways of popularizing BiblePay.

I'm thinking it might be to our benefit to make it easier to get started as a researcher (for cancer mining) and easier to mine BiblePay.

We could consider removing the team requirement (IE you do not have to be in Team BiblePay for PODC payments); that would potentially open us up to the entire boinc network of World Community Grid and Rosetta researchers who are apprehensive about changing their team.  They would still of course need to associate their CPID with our wallet, but they would receive PODC payments without being on our team. 

The other idea is making us easier to heat mine.  We could potentially allow heat mining for any CPID that is successfully associated with a public key (IE the researcher has successfully sent a burn transaction and is associated with one public key address already).  This would make it easier to heat mine as then only one step is required and the user does not need to wait until being in a superblock.  It would also make it easier on some people financially to get started.

We may also consider voting for a lower BBP-per-rac requirement, but in my opinion its a little early for that.

I have a deploy script that updates it, but this release was so minor I didn't run it. 

I'll run it so you have the latest image now.

But not all false religions believe in an exact heaven and hell as Christianity does, notice how they copy the concepts from Christianity, but either way this is giving too much credit to the false religions.

There is only one name that can save, Jesus, and the point is he is the Savior and if you are persuaded and deceived into another religion you will end up in hell.

My best friendly advice on this is to go to the biblepay links in the pool and watch all Jesus related NDEs.  Then find some Buddha and Allah NDEs and tell me if you ever find one case of Allah or Buddha saving a person from hell.  You wont.  Only Jesus steps in and saves a person from Hell.

First of all, I'll defend Sundar because I have a few solid years in researching prophets who are for Jesus in which things came to pass.  I have a Jesus Christ based web site with articles Ive paraphrased over the years by different prophets concering end-times prophecy, and I can tell who is worthy of being added or not added to that list.  And I'm proud to be associated with Sundar and I invite him to our community and will fly down and meet him and let him represent Biblepay along with Steve Cioccolanti who has contacted us.

I can tell by the way in which you replied, in an argumentative way and in the way you applied the scriptures that you are lukewarm at the most.  And warning people of hellfire is not judging, judging is actually referring to being a hypocrite (starting as a sinner, calling out the same type problems while you yourself are a sinner), and not spreading the gospel.

I've taken your issue into consideration, and I give it a weight of zero.

I was listening to Melissa from Midnight Hour Oil and she makes a good point that some Christians who have a chance to witness to people on a train to hell would rather give them an ice cube rather than do the hard work and explain they are on the train to hell.

All these people are going to Hell (unless they repent and turn to Jesus):

• Homosexuals, Lesbians and the LGBT
• Those who worship Allah, Buddah, Indian Gods, and non-Messianic Jews who are waiting for the Messiah
• Adulterers and Fornicators
• Those practicing witchcraft
• Chronic Drunks & Drug Abusers
• Those who hold grudges and do not forgive men/women
• Anyone who doesn't believe in Jesus

Next time you know you are in a situation where you can make a difference, enlighten them.

She says:  we are not here to fit in with the crowd.  We are meant to stand out, like a lamp on a hill.

TheSnat, I believe your txlist filter worked, but we still have relatively slow "LoadBlockIndex" times during the initial wallet load for only 60,000 blocks.

I'll take care of looking into optimizing the later phase of "Memorizing Prayers" myself, but one thing you may be able to help on is take a look at LoadBlockIndexGuts and see if there is something in there slowing down the load time.  Its taking about 30 seconds to perform the LoadBlockIndex phase itself, before moving on to memorizeprayers, so I think maybe you can put a test harness on that piece and see what piece of data inside that function is actually slowing down each loop. 

To my knowledge we havent veered from Dash's load block index guts - except we have our transaction.vout[n].sTxOutMessage on each transaction (which stores our prayers and podc information).

Dear Flengshu,

I appreciate your perspective.  If it was a year ago, I probably would have agreed with you as I am an organized person.  As a matter of fact thats why I started forum.biblepay.org, so we can have multiple specific threads to discuss off-topic ideas.

However in this case, I feel that we are entering into the final phase of the church age, and if we are not already here, we are entering the end-times according to the major prophets (like Sundar Selvaraj for example).

One of my goals with Biblepay is to spread the gospel to geeks.  If we had a specific chatroom for religion, the non-Christians would not have to read this stuff.

In this case, I prefer to bring up the fire and brimstone topics as necessary in an effort to spread the gospel of Jesus to the lukewarm or non believers.

Note that we will have even more threads soon as we kickstart the finance thread, so one other aspect is is to not have 'too many' otherwise we will not have time to intelligently visit all of them.

I'll answer this; in a politically correct and Christian way.

No, true Christians are able to answer these very easily as God is not a God of confusion.

The new testament is not worse than the Old; it says love your neighbor as yourself, and do away with tooth for a tooth.  Of course you cant have the new without the old; both are true and historical.  Of course Jesus referred to the Old, he is the one who created the Church Age; the New Testament started after Jesus was crucified.

To specifically address your 10 point attack on Christianity:

Slaves Should Be Good Subjects To Their Masters, Both The Gentle And The Harsh:
The Heathen claims this means the old testament approved of having slaves.  No, in reality, more dimensions exist (including Heaven & Hell), and we are all bondservants of Jesus.  God is setting an example that IF you are in position of being a slave, you MUST do a good job and happily serve and perform your duties.  Jesus says in the New Testament to perform well with all your heart.  You are judged for idle words and abusing your temple for unrepented sin.  We are commanded to respect authority, and pay our taxes.  All this goes to receive Well done Good and Faithful servant, I will put you in charge of many things (in Heaven).  This life is but a test, a flash in the pan of how you interact and manage your resources and will dictate your level of responsibility later in Heaven.

You may beat your slaves:
The heathen claims this means God allows harsh punishment.  Actually the verse says this:
"He that striketh his bondman or bondwoman with a rod, and they die under his hands, shall be guilty of the crime. But if the party remain alive a day or two, he shall not be subject to the punishment, because it is his money.—Exodus 21:20–21"
All God is doing is setting a standard in the time of the Law, and some slaves, both you and I deserve chastisement, and chastisement is good for a man lest he grow up to be a lawbreaker.

Women Found Not To Be Virgins On Their Wedding Day Should Be Stoned:
Remember this is for the Israelites, and those are Gods chosen people.  Hes not playing around when he said he wants a virgin woman to be available for a virgin man, and the marriage bed to be sacred.  Learn the definition of fornication and adultery as the bible teaches it.  God is setting the standard that the community may stone a woman who lies to her new husband about this, and shows how serious it is.  And I agree with it.

The next 3 are really the same; high standard for Israelites and an initiation for the Law.

If Someone You Love Tries To Tempt You Away From God, They Should Be Put To Death:
"If thy brother the son of thy mother, or thy son, or daughter, or thy wife that is in thy bosom, or thy friend, whom thou lovest as thy own soul, would persuade thee secretly, saying: Let us go, and serve strange gods, which thou knowest not, nor thy fathers,"
This is an easy one:  Gods chosen people are not supposed to practice Idolatry.  If you are a heathen, and you listen to Jim Morrison say HEY! Lets start a new religion!  You might not be offended.  But as a Christian who knows Jesus is really the son of God, I am deeply offended.  We dont need to float the idea or joke of a new religion here.  In the same way, God is highly offended if one of his chosen sons attempt to lure a brother or sister to a false God. 

God Commanded His People To Commit Genocide:
"Thus saith the Lord of hosts: I have reckoned up all that Amalec hath done to Israel: I how he opposed them in the way when they came up out of Egypt." 1 Samuel 15
So here the heathen is saying that God will quickly and easily get mad and tell one of his tribes to go and commit genocide by killing another tribe, because hes insensitive or hotheaded.
No, if you read the old testament you will get the idea that the Caanites and the Baals had a very bad practice of offering up children to Satan (they let their firstborn pass through the fire) and the worshipped idols.  The Amalekites followed the Babylonian idolatry and practices of child burning and sexual immorality and torturing each other publically and God sees all this and judges unrepentant sin.  In his opinion, to leave the cancer grow was worse than cutting it out.  And that can also happen to a gay nation, abortion nation or Sodom & Gomorrah.

Slovakia filled out application forms for exchanges with no regard to the ones already being filled by Luke.  Luke maintains a spreadsheet with who he has contacted.

Next, Slovakia answered a lot of questions incorrectly (IE he guessed) as he thought it was a game, with the end goal to be listed (not understanding that is dangerous as it could ban us from the exchange), nor does he understand the integration phase.

Next he asked us to pay 1.5 btc to a scammer on bitfinex because he didnt do any due diligence.

Next the hilarious thread he forwarded to me (which he thought he was doing a service for us to be PAID for) was laced with profanity and uninteligible answers to the exchange.  Then he started asking me for answers.

I said you are doing more harm than good for us, and in no way should we enter a proposal to compensate you for degrading our community, and politely asked him to stop doing work on this and leave it to Luke.

Otoh, Togo does real quality work for Biblepay each month, doesnt it take hours to man the social media platforms?  If hes not spending 40 hours per month doing this and writing wiki pages please let us know.

Here is one Togo created yesterday:

And on a side note Ive been working 4 hours extra per night on a Biblepay related project called DAHF; its finance related.  Our progress is not stalling, Im still working full time on Biblepay.  When I moved to the new house, I had a lull while moving my office - which will be reflected in the hours for the month of June, but timewise things are back to normal now.

The pooledtx is the number of transactions in the memory pool (that your miner tries to put in the next block).

The miningpulse means the miningthread has successfully broken out (this happens when transactions change, or best block hash changes) and incremented the pulse.  It just proves the thread is running and does not need restarted.

Thanks,

You may already know this but if you right click on the second page of the letter you can copy 'image address' and embed here:



So much for that, it gets cut off:

That's awesome.  We should post a couple here sometime .
