Whats up with the Block Explorer?  I make the assumption happy is not coming back to restart it, so we need another one asap.

We have over 1000 miners and not one has come forward to volunteer to run this yet, who can deploy it and support it and pay for it themselves?

We are starting to look like a rag tag group without it, its shameful to have a misrepresentation of our total supply on coinmarketcap.

In my case for example, I have my two vultr nodes running against testnet to test sanctuaries ($80 a month), I have the pool server ($60 per month), and I run a deficit for the orphans each month (IE I spend more than I take in in Bitcoin), and Im coding the pool, the wallet, and doing all the releases.  So it does not make sense for me to volunteer to run yet another system, with all the PMs and constant maintenance that needs done to manage BiblePay.

Please, we need someone to at least commit asap to help us run the BX.

Google running an Iquidis block explorer.

Happy Merchant are you out there, can you reboot the node?  Maybe you can make a copy of your node for someone here?

Yes, regarding the wholesome links I should probably make a "report" link so it can be flagged for removal.  In this case there will be very few abuses because you must be logged in and pay a budget to create one.

Yeah, that pop up idea is a very good idea also.  Thanks.

Check out this new BiblePay Feature!

To help spread the Gospel, we have a new P2P feature that pays you BBP to click certain "Gospel" links.

Here is link #1:

http://pool.biblepay.org/Action.aspx?link=bc6c709

The Book of Revelations - Audio Bible - NKJV

You are paid 20 BBP to click the link (and hopefully listen to the book) if you have a pool account.

EDIT: You will see the credit as GOSPEL_NAVIGATION in your Transaction History.

PS: To see all Gospel Links, log into pool.biblepay.org and click External Links | BiblePay Gospel Links
When you have something edifying you would like to share, you can add one to our community by going into External Links | BiblePay Gospel - Add Link
(You can set up a campaign budget and Price Per Click).  When pool users click the links, your account will be debited the PPC fee and the other user will be credited the PPC bounty.

All credit goes to Jesus!

Its a pleasure to have you here.  I love the synopsis above, it is a great reference and succinct.  It is exactly what I learned about the Qurans and Quranic view on Jesus.

I respect that this conversation could be very constructive, or a powder Keg (similar to the Middle East) situation.  Let us try to embrace this and create something positive.

First, let me say the most abrasive Christian comments.  Remember, this part is just my personal view.  Where the Islamic faith veers away from the Christian faith, I feel the Quran itself contains enough truth to deceive one new believer that is the authentic word from the most high God, yet captures the soul into worshiping the wrong God, one that may actually be burning.  From the Christian perspective we have John the Revelator writing Revelations in 64AD, with Jesus sealing the text "And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy" with a grave warning.  If God ended the KJV bible that way in 64AD, why would Gabriel need to dictate a new Quran to Muhamed in 610 AD?  I also want to bring up 1 John 4, his command to Test the Spirits.  The test is that if anyone in the spirit realm denies that Jesus came in the flesh (as the son of God), then that person is of the Antichrist, however anyone who believes Jesus came in the flesh, as the son, and was Crucified, dead buried and resurrected, then they are of the Holy Spirit.  So yes, analyzing the Quran, it seems to me the entire religion was designed as a perfect tool, to be created by the enemy, to lead a person through deceit, to sign the keys of their soul, or their allegience over to Satan, the father of lies.  The narrative in the book straightens the way for the Antichrists identity to be confused with the 2nd coming at Armageddon.  I think the role the Mahdi plays in Quranic eschatology confuses the masses into keeping their eyes off of Jesus at that required time of great deception - so as to not be "ready" spiritually when you need your entire wits end to stave off the grand deception (as when the great trib starts, those left behind will be under such a deception that even the very elect would be deceived if those days not shortened, taken another way: if you dont have your breastplate of His Word on you, you too will fall for it).  So from the Christian perspective, I view the Quran as an unnecessary book, if the Bible is indeed the complete reference for man (and John sealed it 700 years earlier that way).  The other hurdle we have to deal with is if the Islamic faith is a religion of violence/war.  There are tons of references to things that allude to "if you are not with us you are against us" therefore we will hurt or kill you, while Christianity says : Love covers a multitude of sins, if slapped turn the other cheek, pray for your enemies.  Another words, my view is the Islamic faith indoctrinates early subtle hints of violence from a young age, to desensitize one into religious violence.  (IE the mustard seed in Islam grows to a sword, while the mustard seed in Christianity grows to love for your neighbor).

I must move on.  What can we do to work together?  Well, for one I think it would be a good exercise to come up with a quantifiable "program" that tests the various top 5 faiths using various methods, such as the way the justice system uses witnesses and juries.  If we have at our disposal, a cross section of 1300 BiblePay users, we could for example gain some insight into questions like:  Who had an NDE and saw Jesus or Muhammed, and did he save you?  Just as the prophets of Baal could not light the fire, yet Yahweh not only burned the log, but the boulders, the dirt and all the water around it too, was Muhammed able to come through as the Most High?  Could we have a distinct count of links to testimonies in Pakistan and Indonesia with testimonies where Allah healed them and a similar count where Jesus healed them?  If we had some technical indicators, this would lead one to believe that maybe they are worshiping the wrong God.  It may not be apparent to everyone, but Ill assert it here:  Worshiping the most high God of the wrong bible, is equivalent to worshiping the beast.  Another words, one is in hell and one is in heaven.  Either Allah or Yahweh is the most high, they are not the same Gods.  

Its extremely interesting .

Yes.

About 1.5 MM BBP.

We're just a normal cryptocurrency, anyone can invest the same way they buy into bitcoin, and in the same way a Muslim can walk into a Christian church.

We are the same as Compassion, in the sense that anyone can sponsor an orphan- despite the fact that Compassion says "In Jesus Name" on their slogan.  As long as one can deal with things being done in Jesus Name anyone is welcome, as my personal view is we might save some people, especially atheist geeks who stumble onto the Gospel.

I was thinking the other day about the person who posted about encroachment.  He said something like why would you encroach on ones religion?  In my humble opinion, we are the same as Gospel singers.  We sing the code of Bitcoin in Jesus name.  This is the same argument as "money" is the root of all evil, and "music" is Satans number one gift.  The point is if you decide to worship the Lord by writing Gospel lyrics, thats worship not engaging in "closing out of society to die within" (because the argument is the enemy wants us to listen to rap and metal, to get a rage building inside and keep our eyes off Jesus).  I make the analogy that if we spread the gospel while we code we are working a day job and "singing" the Gospel at night.

Try compiling bitcoin first then use our guides.

We have a 19.5% deflationary emission schedule.

Added Coinsmarkets to our OP.


I read that with the BTC blocksize approaching its Max, minimum transaction fees are currently high.  Maybe the TX Fee is approaching $10 to send .001 BTC?  Check it out do some research guys and maybe thats the problem...  Exchanges might be setting this at .002 for a reason.  If you send a BTC Tx out with a 0 Tx Fee, it will never get mined.

Wow, BiblePay was just listed on a second exchange:

https://coinsmarkets.com/trade-BTC-BBP.htm

Basically what happened here was Mike (PlainKoin) became a friend of the lead dev while creating ROI-COIN, but he decided to go on his own to create ROI-COIN.  He went live with ROI-COIN a few days ago!  Btw, feel free to check out ROI-COIN and support and congratulate Mike on his own coin!

Anyway, he gave us a good word at coinsmarkets, and they listed us for free.

Ill check them out today and try to give them some volume.

The 2.5% PR+2.5 P2P is so far looking like it might pass, so thats 10+5+5=20% for budgets, leaving 40% for Sancs + 40% for Miners at this point

The masternodes earn about 42% of every block, divided by the number of masternodes participating.  I am guessing we will have about 250 masternodes, based on this study:

http://pool.biblepay.org/docs/roi.htm

So, my guess is the ROI on the investment is approx 2.5 years.

Here is what I think our #1 priority is next- we need to be talking about integrating the ability to Spread the Gospel using the blockchain.

The goal is to make BiblePay, as a DAC, act like Jesus commanded his followers: Love one another, be a good Samaritan and help those in distress (orphans & widows), and spread the gospel.

So we are on track for the first two, but completely lacking in the third: spreading the gospel (Except, the bible is compiled in the wallet, so its a good start).  But thats similar to having the bible sitting around on the shelf.  We are not compensating people for learning the gospel or spreading the gospel.

I recently came up with yet another concept, but we really need to focus in on one that will take off.

We could add the ability to create Gospel questions in the pool (IE question, body, multiple choice answers and correct answer) and upvote/downvote the questions.  Then we could reward biblepay to someone who takes a 5 question quiz.

Other than that, Im open to more ideas about spreading the gospel in this community.  Id like to somehow make it as common as our mining problems.  We should be more about Gospel than mining!

One other concept is potentially storing BBP public keys in web page urls.  Something to the effect of a Christian comes across a youtube video they like and wants to share it.  Maybe they copy the URL to the clipboard and paste it somewhere in the wallet and that gets stored in the chain, and added to a scrolling in-wallet list.  Maybe we have a scrolling
 grid area where people can click the URL, BBP is somehow given to the watcher and the sharer.  Also, a steemit type reward system for Christian blogs.  These funds could come from the P2P budget.  Im thinking, Jesus videos, bible audio on youtube, Rapture videos, Dreams about Jesus, Heaven visits, Hell visits, all these resources could have BBP keys attached to the URL.  Maybe they up the embedded grid in wallet as they age.

We have a few Trolls here that decided to trash the board, so I had to move us to a self-moderated thread.

Timeline for Sanctuaries:

Thanksgiving 2017 - Will post the big number everyone is waiting for - Escrow requirements - most likely will be ~1,500,000 BBP

Christmas 2017 - Mandatory upgrade for BiblePay containing f8000 (the asic/gpu resistant Proof-Of-BibleHash algorithm with resistance to running multiple instances on one node) and Sanctuaries and 365% Deflationary Retirement Accounts

So instead of closing the opportunity with HitBTC's $350,000 listing offer to us, I offered a counter-offer.

I explained how we are struggling, small, and helping the lives of 175 orphans around the world, and it would be a great humanitarian friendly gesture to lower the fee down to $50,000, if they would accept a BBP minted block in 1Q-2Q 2018. 

If they actually reply with interest, we can then vote on it, and potentially mint the block next year directly out of the chain for HitBTC.

For those that think this is too much, you do have to realize that an exchange that large (in the top 4) brings in a lot of positive PR and liquidity and market depth.  So $50k to them is on par with breaking even for the services received.  Another words, it is not a big loss as an expense for us, its equivalent to a $50k PR campaign for us over a year.

I just wanted to let everyone know the status and the feeling I had on it, and to get all of your wheels spinning

REGARDING THE BLOCK EXPLORER:

Ive been waiting to hear from Happy on the block explorer, but I was thinking, it would not be a bad thing to have two block explorers, then we could achieve 100% uptime if one is down.

I feel that it makes us look bad to not have a facility for exchanges to do a tx lookup on a block explorer, and, new exchanges will decline the application without a working BX, and, CoinMarketCap is currently displaying invalid market cap to our potential investors, so having one that is broken is starting to affect us.

Is anyone up for volunteering to start a second BX?  Note that I have access to our DNS, so I can give you a free DNS name like "explorer.biblepay.org" if you need it and someone wants to host it on an existing rented mining node?

Thanks,
Rob

Sorry, there was a deploy glitch, please try now.

Happy_merchant are you around?  Coinmarketcap stagnant.
