A few of these are on the about page.  Yes, I think we can add some of these others.

There are a lot of nuances to what you said above, so the answer is multifaceted and long winded.

Let me try to cover the tips and you can ponder and google between the lines.

The (crypto exchange) market at the money fills Market orders.  So if you sacrifice time (IE convenience) for price, you settle for the "market" price (thats .0011 per coin) in USD.
If you have 500,000 to sell and you dont sacrifice time, you can set Limit orders up.  There is a chance over time those will be Hit.

We also have to consider the forward value of BBP.  Some like myself, believe we will appreciate over the next year based on G5 inflation and our deflation, technology, sanctuaries, and being a good investment for the future.  So some are actually mining based on our forward value.  The reward of 10,000 BBP means a newer PC earns about 500 coins a day (IE $18 a month) which is about break-even for electric rates and depreciation (of the computer).

These are cool charts, thanks!

According to this, the avg daily rate of return of bitcoin has been 2.23%, while the APY at the bank is .85%.

I like the smaller units, and its definitely possible, but they would need to lower transaction fees by 1/100th also.  I think thats why its $17 to withdraw from CCEX.

Why we aim for a large total coinbase circulation:

- This allows us to emit high volume in the beginning and be Very deflationary (we are 19.5% deflationary per year) and still have relatively high rewards after 5 years.  It isnt until the tail end (2040 or so) when we start dealing with low numbers.
- When we become more popular, the coins are more affordable per unit for the average blue collar person.  (The same reason AAPL reverse split), to make the stock more popular.  
- People tend to lose low value digital wallets.  The average is about 20% of digital minted coins are "lost".  This is due to lost files, lost hard drives, upgrades, all that.  That gives us a propensity to be worth more, if you keep your wallet.
- A more rewarding total investment cycle.  Im hoping we will have some investors see 3-4 zeroes of appreciation in the price over 10 years.
- More flexibility for us.  (IE tipping programs, P2P features, etc).

Yeah Im glad we put that variable diff reward in also, otherwise we would have been flooding c-cex with lots of coins.

If BTC keeps rising at this rate ($100 a day), we'll be trading at 1 satoshi for our fair value (the minimum level on c-cex) and will not need to check our price LOL, we would have 20BTC of volume at 1 satoshi, no other entries on the buy side and a full sell side, unbelievable BTC is doing this.

I had a fish-tank miner once where the machine was under the oil (it was mineral oil) and mined 7 million $ of BTC, and here is how much of that I have today : ZERO.  The hard drive went, the oil went all over the floor, and I kept the drive around for a couple years, when BTC rose to I think about $10K of value I installed an elaborate sector program that retrieves data from the drive sector by sector and actually found the wallet.dat file.  But, I couldnt get the key out because part of a windows file overwrote the key LOL.  So yeah, I doubt I would have that money even if it rose to $50k as I probably would have cashed it out back then...

Good idea guys- I filled out Binances 8 Page application for Community Voting and submitted it.

Check out this stunning feature Alex added to our block explorer:

https://biblepay-explorer.org/block/d7fd5003bdc606d521c563a60980db4b77a8aaa59963dfa3a05cc08f70ff5542




First he reports the Bible Hash verses found in the block.
Next he reverse engineered the Book of the bible from the verse, in order to provide the full book name, chapter and verse number on the suffix of the verse.
Next he provides a ref-tagger pop-up for reference to the verse itself.

This means our user can hover over the verse and see the actual verse in context!

Isnt that cool?

Yeah, it does appear pretty confusing to see both HPS columns.  The left one is what your client is reporting to the pool, the right one is what the pool is measuring.
I think we can safely take the left one off soon, but give us a little more time, lets do it after Christmas, because right now we are transitioning from the current Proof-of-Biblehash algorithm (f7000) to the new PoBH (f8000), and it will be valuable for diagnostics for another month just to see what the clients are reporting in f8000 after the masternodes go live.  After that we can clean it up a lot, cosmetically.


On a side note everyone I am thinking of writing a PR feature into the wallet to spread BiblePay's popularity.  Im thinking of creating a system to embed a Guid in the build for a PR event, so we can give away some free BBP out of the faucet, Im thinking maybe 250 BBP per wallet, but Only if you redeem the code as a new user.

Something like: you download the windows wallet, and when it opens the first time it creates a redeemable faucet guid.  Then the user can come to the faucet and paste the coupon code into the faucet and receive the BBP into the wallet associated with the coupon.  I have to make it to where if the coupon is not redeemed it doesnt charge the pool (otherwise pool would go bankrupt).

This way Im thinking if I create a google adwords campaign, if I advertise to 1 million new users, maybe we pick up 1000 out of this deal and it costs me 200 * 1000, that would be worth it.

Update on this poll about coinexchange.io:

http://forum.biblepay.org/index.php?topic=39.0

I cant get a reply from them.  I asked them a few questions, like for example, who is our contact to integrate once we fund the BTC and will they allow us until Jan 10th to make the payment (so we have time for the poll to end, the new version to go live, time to exchange the funds etc) and no answer.  I even created a ticket on freshdesk in both accounts, no answer.  So I dont feel comfortable spending money on this with someone who will not be available to support us...

We will probably have to cancel this new exchange...  Unless someone knows coinexchange.io and wants to ask them whats up.

In Reports | Block History, I added two columns.  The Miner_Who_Found_Block wont be populated til Christmas.  I said yesterday, its not a Secret, it is just not populated yet til Christmas, it will populate after masternodes go live.  However I was able to add another column today : Top_Miner_By_HashPS.  This will start populating on the next block we find........

I was just thinking, Im going to start making some more Christian comments here as I envision this community becoming my community of Christian friends as well, but of course I think we should limit it to "important" Christian issues, not spam.

So one thing I ran into the other day was someone sent me an article on Elon Musks new Neural Lace technology he is designing with NeuralLink.  They want to release it within 4 years.  Its eerily similar to fulfilling the other half of the mark of the beast technology:

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Note KJV says "in their hands" (RFID chipped), and "upon their foreheads" (maybe neural laced).  They already have the test rats receiving neural laces so the rat can control things - the lace is a biochemical brain -> electromechanical interface, where the studies show the brain cells grow around the lace, and this makes it more efficient over time (great ).

So moving on to AWS Private Government Servers:

I was thinking, I wanted BBP to somehow be more resilient during the great tribulation.  We talked about exportable records to find other Christians if the internet is down.  However, I found something promising recently regarding internet resilience.  New York is putting up very expensive "spy" towers- they are nice looking Excelsior towers with cameras that connect to the backbone.  (They are also installing fake cell towers everywhere, that trick phones into giving up their coordinates and they trangularize your position but arent even providing cell service).  AWS is now selling the government DMZed servers, guaranteed to not carry public internet traffic.  Both of these things point to reliance on
 the internet, even during times of distress.  Im not saying that power will not be down, nor the internet out in huge swaths of areas, but Im saying that these two events just increased my confidence in the internet at least being Up in some areas to keep limited commerce flowing.  Bitcoin may possibly be "the grey market" for Christians, who do Not take the mark.  Meaning that BBP may actually be tradeable during the great tribulation, as one of the few ways to buy or sell (ironically).  I know this all sounds far fetched. 


Finally on the subject of Mining for Charity:

I was thinking we could "potentially" add a feature where we add a field to our blockindex: BestDonor.  Maybe it will store the BBP address of the highest orphan donor in the last hour, and give that miner an edge.  I was thinking, nodes can tally for the top donor and store that BBP address on the block, and validate it each block forward.  Then "potentially" in f8000, we could provide an edge for that miner.  The value may be empty, and be based on the last hours donations.  It would only benefit those who decide to solo mine. 

Thanks for explaining that Luke!  Slovakia you will get much more progress with honey than with vinegar.
We are over here writing this for free.

I agree the pool should have these features and be the Best pool.  Its already got the backbone to be much much more than a pool.

Please put the request into our pool github so it is prioritized and coded.

Ill see what I can do regarding the leaderboard by block (Best Hashers list) in the mean time.

Ok, I added Reports | Block History to the pool.  Now you can see the last 512 blocks the pool found, descending by network.

Note the miner column is empty right now.  Thats because the pool doesnt know which miner actually hit the block, because the miner signs the block over to the pool *before* starting to mine, and broadcasts the block to the network *after* finding the block.  But, that will start to be populated when masternodes go live, because that field will be populated during that update for the other purposes, so then we can populate it in the pool.

A list of the last 25 mined blocks and who found them, let me check into that.

I was just thinking of this a little more, maybe we could be the first coin utilizing Proof-of-Generosity or Proof-of-charity or proof-of-donation etc.  We could make it a little simpler: In the miner, the one who donated the most per BBP source address (that matches the reward address) in the last hour wins the block, but I just thought of a big problem... This would only work for solo mining.

The reason it is so compelling, I was just thinking, if we had very generous miners trying to "win" the block by "donating" the most to charity, the money supply would hardly expand (IE we would have a competition of Spending to win each block).  That would potentially drive the price up because no new coins would be entering the exchanges....  But like I said, the pool ruins this idea, as people who are pool miners sign the block over to the pool.

On a side note, I think I have stumbled onto a future enhancement to keep us asic-free and gpu-free forever, without relying on other nodes, but yet keeping CPU proof-of-work.

We dont need to do this now, but lets keep it documented for the future.

This is an enhancement for PoW that makes it infeasible to mine using an asic and makes us Less Greedy.

     I realize if we really wanted to we could be POS, but we are shooting for all the existing miners who still enjoy POW in cryptology that might choose us as their coin flavor because they like POW and want to be more efficient without the greed element (IE promoting a rat race of black boxes).

So here it is.  Since a full node is required to spend money (IE do the work of creating and broadcasting a transaction), we could allow the miner to make OrphanWallet donations in BBP by using a miner setting (like 2BBP per 10 mins to the Orphan Foundation etc)  - other nodes sum donations in the past hour - to influence the current hash outcome, IE if Node 1 donates 10 BBP in the last hour, and Node 2 donates 5 BBP, and Node 3 decides to donate 5BBP+5BBP+5BBP+5BBP+5BBP in an hour, the hash result is influenced most strongly by the greatest donated TXID hex in the list.  (We would have to ensure the transactions must be > than say 5BBP each however, to limit spam transacton quantity on the network).  So the BibleHash miner is a competition of "giving" to charity.

 So one cannot gain an advantage over another by donating more frequently or more quantity of donations, but only by having a "confirmed" BibleHashOf(TXID+BlockHash) higher than another donation.  The highest confirmed BibleHash(OfTXID) influences the hashtarget the most, meaning that CPU miners would dominate this algorithm by gaining a hashing difficulty advantage over others.  If one were to donate more BBP transactions in that hour, one would have a propensity to receive a higher TXID.  Then it would become a competition of who donated the most efficiently in the last hour.  Not sure how this would go over, but we can keep it in mind.

  Alternatively, we could log the scriptSig in the Donation, and make the sumOf(scriptSig) the best donation potentially.  Another words, the most BBP donated by one address
 in one hour gets the most influence in winning the next block.








 

Sanctuary Escrow Requirement - Christmas 2017:

The escrow requirement is 1,550,001 BBP per Sanctuary.  (Thats approx. $1,250 USD).

Updating the OP....

Sorry, been really busy behind the scenes on an IT issue that might take 30 days to resolve part time.

Anyway, Im still working on the BiblePay Christmas bugs, for TestNet, and let me take a look at the Escrow now.

When you click block distribution history you can see the block # change.  What do you want to see?
