Which screen are you hitting?

Remember as a last resort we also have pool2.biblepay.org.

No, Richie from Bittrex has not replied to my messages, and Busoni hasnt replied from Poloniex either.

This is kind of interesting, normally Id say depressing, but I think we can turn this into something positive.

I received an offer letter from HitBTC (one of the top 10 exchanges), offering to list BiblePay for $385,000.00.  No this is not a joke.

Its very interesting, in that offer letter, the "basic listing" includes One market and that fee is 45BTC alone.  Then, they go on to say and you must pay a Code Audit fee of 5BTC additionally (which alone, is more than I would feel we should pay to be on an exchange) when considering how many orphans we could sponsor for that fee (844 new orphans for a whole year!).  Its kind of redicules.

What I really feel compassion about though is for all the other coins who dont even have one exchange yet.  How many are going to get taken for high fees to make the exchanges rich and then go bankrupt?

What I was going to say to turn this positive, is maybe we should consider writing our own bitcoin exchange and making it part of what BiblePay offers, and then host a few of these small coins on our exchange for a BiblePay fee.  It would make us more popular and liquid and generate some revenue for biblepay and at the same time get the little fledgling coin on an exchange without paying a big fee.

My question is, if I solve the technical problem behind this (IE making it to where the wallet runs for XYZ coin in a new way, not on our exchange, but in a new way), do we have any legal people here that can do the due dilligence of ensuring this would be legal?

I know that it is not legal to be a money transfer agent in the US, meaning we cant accept or offer USD deposits or withdrawals.  But Im thinking, what if all we do is offer to accept BTC in exchange for BBPE tokens (biblepay exhcnage tokens) IE 1BTC=10000 BBPE, and you can then Deposit 1BTC and have an exchange credit of 10,000 BBPE, or withdraw 2 BTC if you have a 20,000 BBPE credit.  Now at this point, no dollars are ever being exchanged - we only allow deposit and withdraw of BTC based on your BBPE balance.

Then on the exchange itself, you can buy or sell BBP or XYZ coin with your BBPE.

Im primarily looking for responses in the legality of hosting this exchange in different areas, and legality of it running as a basic token->token exchange only. Its up to the end user to get their own BTC or BBP to deposit or withdraw.

Potential Bounty available for a side project:

So obviously with f8000 coming up and the e-commerce project Im working on (that allows you to buy an amazon product from inside the wallet), thats what Im coding now, Im pretty busy through Christmas, but I wanted to offer this potential bounty - and the target of this bounty is to an expert dev (not one who does not know how to compile bitcoin on windows and who has not done any github commits):

One of my side projects is creating a lightning network for BiblePay to allow us to trade with Litecoin, Bitcoin, Syscoin and others next year when Lightning gets more popular.  Ive got a handle on running the LN server, and making the chosen Sanctuary host the channel and all that, that seems pretty straightforward for us.

But the part I need help with is merging SegWit into our core.  Are there any devs out there that would like to give us a quote in BTC on merging Segwit into a branch of BiblePay (without rebasing)?  Scope required and time estimate and what you want to charge us is fine for now.  If its reasonable we might be able to make this one of our first IT budget items for the sanctuaries to vote on at Christmas.

Try clicking on the Trash Can and recreating the worker with new notes?  If it doesnt work, let me know.

Yes, they take 24 hours.

I just noticed since inspect.biblepay.network is down, the coinmarketcap value is stagnant.

Happy_merchant are you here brother?

Lets give him a chance as a Christian Brother to fix it.

Uhh, unfortunately with 1300 miners, not very good.  I can tell you with relative accuracy now that Ive left my 3 miners on for a couple months 24/7, I usually earn about 550 BBP per day in the pool.  So that means 183 BBP per day per machine.  Meaning that your chances of hitting a 20K bbp block is one in 109 DAYS of mining.

So you could either let it solo mine and maybe you will get one in 109 days, or set it up for the pool.  We have two pools: pool.biblepay.org and MinersOfMen.com.

I think this is a really good idea.  I think if we had a few good wordpress guys we could really build it out, plus, we could open up the wordpress blog for sort of a recap of our dashboard progress, etc.

So my main question is, if I temporarily create a subdomain for us (something like beta.biblepay.org) for our future wordpress website, who will volunteer to make this a great site, IE exceeding the one we have?  I will turn the keys over to that person if I can see some commitment here

Then after beta.biblepay.org looks good and has a blog, we can copy it down to www.biblepay.org and retire the current web site?

The whole community can watch as we build out the beta site and jump in and help with content.

Yeah they go into maintenance whenever adding a new coin or removing a coin or working on the database- I think the issue is the huge influx of Asian interest is putting a strain on all exchanges.

When you start the wallet the first time you get 100 new keys (called the keypool).
When you solo mine, the wallet picks one of those and signs the block with it.

Or you can open a coinbase.com account, buy BTC and trasfer it to c-cex.
(If you are in the US)

Although these are just two of the benefits of running a sanctuary (thats our name for masternodes):
1) You get voting rights to vote on issues like how our charity funds are spent each month
2) You receive regular sanctuary payments, meaning you can potentially earn the investment funds back in "possibly" 24 months or less (speculatively speaking)

As far as programming to earn a sanctuary, maybe.  If you have done successful commits for other coins, then Yes.  I am looking for devs right now.  We are going to have dev payroll starting at the end of January, so yes, its possible to be paid in BBP for dev work and earn enough to run a sanctuary, but you have to be a great dev.  If you want to describe your abilities send email to rob@biblepay.org.

Thanks!

Heres a side project for you guys:

Here is the list of exchanges by volume descending:

https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/

I already sent an email to bittrex and poloniex, and created tickets for them.  Havent heard anything back.
Checked in with bitfinex, but they no longer service US customers or coins, so I think we should skip them unless they approach us.

If anyone wants to create a spreadsheet, and work on contacting the remaining exchanges, go for it.
I will fully verify my identity as a developer on their platform if they give us the pre-approval first that they will list us on agreeable terms for X amount of BTC.  

Coinpimp is really reaching for straws now.  What does he get out of this?  Is he jealous that we will succeed with this coin and we are gaining traction?

I dont get it.

Possibly Matthew 10:35:


   
EDIT:

I dont need to google scripture, I have it right inside BiblePay, and no, I dont have the exact verse memorized, but I knew what I was looking for:

Dont worry, thats all in the works.  

And thats why there was no release notice here for Prod.  I will make a huge bold-red release notice around Christmas when the Prod version is due out.

The only reason Im spamming this thread with testnet info is because Alex is posting here.  Alex, we can move this to a dedicated thread for TestNet on the other forum.


EDIT:  Alex, you can post it in this thread since its all going to be released at the same time:
http://forum.biblepay.org/index.php?topic=16.new#new

I just pushed 1.0.5.9 if you want to upgrade and try to receive a bad block in testnet using the new version.
Note, it is going to be important to sync in testnet first then run it, because I will need to run the command from one of my synced nodes to compare to your command output.

EDIT: This version also fixes the valgrind error.

From the nodes business logic heres what is "supposedly" happening.  The testnet nodes all pre-voted for yNrz's sanctuary to be owed a payment of 7758 BBP.  So thats fine and normal.  Node 88.99 created a block with 7758 to yNrz and the balance (say 11k more BBP) to pay himself/herself.  When he struck the low biblehash, he sent the block to the network.  Your node however didnt like his biblehash, so you rejected it and DDOSsed him.

So all that makes sense.  Now we will need to install the test harness to get the forensic details of this event so we can run some detailed commands.  What I would really like to reveal is a deterministic difference on your European machine when you run a specific long biblehash command in the rpc, vs the American machine.

Ill send this release out within 15 mins if you are stll around, hang on.

Oh that is awesome, thanks, if you could stick around for the next year or so, we can sort out every memory error and segfault (if we have more after this)! Thanks.

So anyway, yes, without your testnet3 folder valgrind points to the problem line of code where we have no iterator.  Im fixing this valgrind issue now to prevent the issue when testnet3 is empty, and also merging in that test harness from last night.  Ill reply to your other post separately.
