I hope youre right... but try to be new miner. He comes to this forum read all this thread and what he see? ofc if you ignore my posts, slovakia, adrian and few other "trashtalking" users. last 40 pages are almost about huge problems with minning(pool crashes, miner crashes, mandatory updates) no posibility to sell coin(if we cant sell bbp, so how we suport oprhans?) and ridiculous mn fee for really young coin. And ofc how can i forget some posts from new users(post counter under 5) who are REALLY supporting this great project.
If devs don't do anything our beloved rank 666 on coinmarketcap will be only a dream...

and i think (insted of togo useless spam) that people try to sell their coins. Because they see that coin have huge problems w pool mining(botnet, mandatory, etc) and they only get 40% from block. so for simple people there is no deal to mine... Rob should be sad about this if he still belives in thing that he said on begnning?
calculation is simple:
I have 1$, if i go to church and give it for oprhans so i will give oprhans 1$, but if i use this dollar for minning bbp. There is 20% chance that i will get reward from block on pool. but only 10% of this amount will go to oprhans.
For simple people there is no reson to mine this coin... because they will not help oprhans and only waste their energy and make reason for some fat fishes will launch mn. AMEN

that huge coin value drop... is "empty mn value" happening?
or botnet make sellout cuz of pol?

Now that C-CEX is partially up (on the bitcoin side, not on the BBP side), I have paid this months Orphan Recurring expenses successfully.

If you navigate (in the pool) to Orphans | Orphan Fundraisers, and Orphans | Expenses Paid, you can see that after being in business for 6 full months, we have finally broken even!

So on a positive note, Biblepay is self-sustaining in the most basic sense: It is now supporting 189 orphans around the world on its own!  Congratulations all of you warm hearted tithers!

Although we met the milestone (using superblocks and being self sustaining) finally (since as of last month, we had a deficit of $10k), on the downside we do not have a surplus yet, here is the grand total state of biblepay:

$37,691 income to date
$37,267 expenses to date

(Well, yes, we do have a $500 surplus now), but my point is we still have had only barely enough to cover the recurring expenses and have not yet paid orphan premiums in advance as we plan to.

With the superblocks at 40 day spacing, and the budgets at almost half of what they were when we started, its going to be close, but I also believe we have an extremely bright future, along with the state of the sinking economy, and crypto in general - a very bright future.

(On a side note, we plan to fix the block spacing, the network hashps, and the superblock funding levels in testnet to have changes ready for the next mandatory that may include POL, so that effect should be resolved).

It usually sits at an HPS2 of 20-25k (so it's 1/4th as effective as my dual Xeon machines using 1/50th of the electrical power  ).

Exactly. But the shares system is only on the pool, isn't it? Or does it apply to solo as well?
By the way, how much hashps does that Ryzen give with 16 threads?

Hi guys,

Do you think it is good idea for new pool? I am in favor of keeping our powers bundled until we figure out what the cause is why we are hitting less blocks, after that it will indeed be a good idea to get another pool to spread hashing power a bit.
I am very happy with past updates and active community, especially the development team, PR and moderators. Keep up the good job. I truly believe in the cause.
Have a wonderful day people.

Update on CoinsMarkets I saw before it went down again: https://coinsmarkets.com/trade-BTC-BBP.htm

I had finished the test about the gain of BBP.

Testing equipment : Machine A & B are Dual L5630 CPU (2.4Ghz 8Core16Thread), all setting are same except cpu core setting
Machine C : AMD Ryzen Pro 1700X (3.4Ghz 8Core16Thread)
-----------------

machine A:
each VM with 2 core (around 410HSP) , Total 8 VM in 9hours BBP Gain = 196.2544
BBP per hour = 21.80604444

machine B :
each VM with 1 core(around 200HSP) , Total 16VM in 9hours BBP Gain = 486.0898
BBP per hour = 54.00997778

Machine C :
All CPU resource used by one BBP process(8500HSP), Each Day = 309.3764
BBP per hour = 12.89068333

This is undoubtedly a disadvantage for high-performance machines in current BBP calculate method.

High cost of high-performance machines but the return rate is lower than the low performance machine.

For example, John pay $ 1000 a day for machine rent to get 5000 BBP
Peter pay $200 a day and gets the same 5000 BBP
I do not think anyone wants to be John....

Any rumors about new markets?
@Bible_pay?
