That is good to know! I couldn't help but see some of the discussion about trying to spread out the sale of BBP in order to maximize the tithe fund. I've noticed that the prices on SouthXchange over the last two days and volume have shot up enormously as it's the only exchange that new people who are trying to purchase sanctuaries can buy from. For example, right now, there's a buy order of 600,000 at 36 sats, which is significantly higher than anything on CCEX. Perhaps if half was sold on SouthXchange and the other on CCEX, the total BTC gained would be much higher.

Also, would there any possible way for people to buy "directly" from the charity wallet? I can imagine that as the project grows, people who hear about the project would be very happy to purchase BBP even at a premium if they knew that 100% of their money went straight to the charities. If not, would it be possible to give a couple hours of heads up before the sale so that people who are interested in buying charity BBP could arrange their buy orders to do so?

Rob, zthomasz, thank you for the quick response. I upgraded my wallet to 1.0.7.9 and shortly after I just saw the transaction show up as pending. it's probably just a coincidence and has nothing to do with my upgrade then. I only thought something was off because I am used to the withdrawals being almost instantly picked up by the core, but in this case, I waited for a while after the withdrawal and saw nothing. Apologies for my erroneous conclusion, and again thank you for your promptness on this. I appreciate the significant work that you put into this as a dev and am grateful that you are concerned even for tiny members of the pool like myself. I have hope that faithfulness in little will translate into faithfulness in much with regards to this project.

Oh no... I hit a manual withdrawal from the pool, and noticed that it didn't go through. I just saw this and I was running 1.0.7.6.
I suppose my coins are now lost as my client was on the old version?
