How's that upgrade going Bitpay?
*crickets chirping*
This reeks of KYC/AML/IRS. The system upgrade could be fraud detection systems such as Early Warning, which deeply link into every existing bank already. This could be the "upgrade" portion they are talking about. But yeah...
Another poster said it succinctly: "it was good while it lasted"

It is pretty cool that in about one hour from now the public can get involved in disrupting the music industry. The music execs will no longer have a grip on who the "winners" and "losers" are.
I can't wait for the new era to begin!

also - does anyone know when the ICO date is?
ICO date Jul 2nd (about 9 days) Must be KYC/AML whitelisted first, though. https://www.choon.co/tokensale/ ^^ for more infoz on the token |

now this looks promising because musicians are usually out there working hard for their art, but not everyone gets paid for it! It is great that they have a safe place to participate in the crypto-craze.

Any know how to get CPU usage down on Vultr VPS service when running BBP wallets, they have limited my instances due to excess CPU usage. Do I need to decrease genprolimit to 1 when running BBP wallet to get <100% CPU usage.
biblepay-cli setgenerate false 0 or inside the wallet debug console: setgenerate false 0 That should stop all mining, but allow the wallet to run. |

by me, cancer mining looks like a fake...no tutorial,no proofs,no in road map,no answers....more ppl on dicords starts talkin about it  And your comments looks like FUD! Please do a little bit of homework first. There is a site called Google, ever heard of it? You can search and find much about the Rosetta project, e.g. recent publications in New York Times, Science, Nature. Unfortunately the Rosetta@Home project is far from perfect. While Slovak's point is poorly made, the truth is that it is also known as a massive heat-generating project. It has come under fire whether or not the benefit outweighs the risk. Again it is not proper to ask "Who has a problem with mining for cancer?" I would think no one does. However, the Rosetta@Home project can be linked to energy consequences that despite its good intention is also an environmental offender. I am not sure why BiblePay is uniting with them in an all-or-nothing fashion. Presumably it is being designed as a "shield" to the botnet mining currently underway on the BBP network. Securing the BBP network and its integrity should be the priority, not "mining for cancer" using an environmentally dubious project like Rosetta@home I cannot think of a University that has more anti-Christian values than the Cal Berkeley system. BiblePay and Berkeley.edu are not just antithetical but it is a questionable decision to partner with them, in light of everything else Berkeley stands for (no matter how well-intentioned cancer mining can be portrayed as) I am at a loss here but I hope these thoughts do not get shoved under the "FUD" carpet because these are actual legitimate issues to be weighed in the discussion. Furthermore, I have personally spent time living in Berkeley, CA so I am not speaking from anything other than first-hand experience. There are spiritual implications of donating BBP cpu cycles to the project. We don't know to what extent those cycles are being used for cancer detection & modeling, vs. how much of that research is ported to Eugenics and epigenetic research. It is a very uncomfortable partnership the more you peel back the layers. Well, i was reacting against Slovaks statement "cancer mining looks like a fake". For me that looks like FUD, i am myself participating in the World Community Grid and recently involved with the project "Help researchers smash childhood cancer", so i know grid computer processing to contribute to cancer research is for real, and is already connected to some crypto's like Curecoin and Gridcoin, so it is not fake. You have arguments from a different order, for me worth to study more carefully. I agree and love the concept -- if it were above scrutiny. Understand the BOINC project is federally funded and operations have been transferred to Space/Science Lab @ UC Berkeley. National Science Foundation is the agency who (primarily) funds it. Do your own research on the National Science Foundation & their mission. In 2011, a damaging report was released that accused the NSF of horrible mis-management of funds to the tune of $3 billion. There is so much alignment with anti-biblical efforts that it does not even pass the laugh test. https://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=127340Here is a study where the foundation proudly proclaims Americans are less religious than ever before. Make no mistake, this study is not revealing truth so that ministers can be informed. The whole POINT of the study is so that liberal ideology can hang their hat on the fact that "religion is dead". |

Hi admin
A re you plan to POS this coin ?
i will never have the 1500 000 coin to MS
thanks:)
Never say never!! There is a God and He cares for the prosperity of His children. God has a plan for your finances, too. |

I just added a bit of CPU power to the testnet. Hope it helps with the benchmarking.

I saw the post about the cosmetic criticism of biblepay. I don't have a problem with the way any part of biblepay looks and I don't think that is holding back adoption at all. I do have an observation, however (not a criticism as I don't know how to fix it). I think if the block times were more consistent, we would have more traction getting on bigger exchanges like bittrex. I don't know for sure, but they do evaluate the consistency of block times:
"Coins which do not adhere to their target block times."
Bittrex Market Removal Policy

FOLLOW
We look for coins that have high community demand, innovations to crypto-currency technology, or a contribution to science and humanity. We believe in aggressively taking chances on coins and letting the free market sort out which coins should thrive.
Bittrex reserves the right to keep or remove any market from its exchange.
Markets which are more eligible for removal include but are not limited to:
Markets with less than 0.5 BTC (or equivalent) of average daily volume over a 7 day period and have been on Bittrex for 4 weeks or more.
Markets that consistency dip below the minimum volume requirement.
Markets with 0 daily volume.
Markets with low liquidity. Less that 15 BTC on the Buy side of the order book for Bitcoin markets.
Coins with no developer support or public developments.
Coins without working blockchains.
Coins which do not adhere to their target block times.
Coins with weak blockchain security. e.g. Low hash rates which can be exploited.
Coins which violate our policies.
Coins which have compliance issues.
If a market is removed, you will have 14 days to remove your coins from our wallets.
Weve got the fix for that in testnet now, and I believe this will be released end of 1st quarter (thats March 31, 2018). I don't think we have anything to worry about with Bittrex as they will probably wait until we have working distributed computing before listing us anyway. I have tons of infrastructure I can throw at the problem. Not only that, but I don't mind devoting some CPU cycles to testing since I've been a systems reliability engineer most of my life, I understand the value of good testing. Some background on me: Being in tech for 20 years, I have mainly been self-employed running a business as a service provider. I started hosting websites on linux-based platform since 1998 and eventually owned & operated a Windows-based content management system as well providing hosting on those two platforms (and more!). These skills as a sysadmin should come in handy somewhere on the BiblePay project!! Please let me know where I can be of help. |

Before listing on something like GDAX - I would strongly advise the team at BiblePay to re-vamp the coin's image. Recently, users on this thread have come out of nowhere and said BiblePay looks like a scam. While presenting it to others in my sphere - I also received the same feedback. Those are two completely unrelated sources telling you the same thing... there is a serious issue of public trust here.
In 2016, the present roadmap would be sufficient for huuuge coin performance. Unfortunately it is 2018, and with everyone and their family creating a blockchain "product", being listed on exchanges should be about more than raising funds. It should be able presenting an idea that the public can noticeably "feel". The marketing efforts slated to kick off (according to BBP roadmap) starts on 02/15. I sure hope there is artwork & media coming down into the pipeline. If not, hire someone IMMEDIATELY and PAY THEM to do it (PLEASE no volunteer positions for critical blockchain tasks in 2018, the current C++ want ad reads like a missing child poster- it is sad)
I hope you see the sarcasm mixed with the "constructive" criticism here. While I would love for BBP to succeed, there is more than just being listed. In fact, being listed where the project is currently sitting is probably setting the project back. Instead, the funds should be used to hire critical staff to complete the tasks Rob is presently buried under. Nothing can be more important than getting more people -- even if you have to pay them.
1. What ideas do you have to revamp the image? Thank you. I do believe the first thing to be done is stick to the gameplan. In 11 days a marketing campaign is supposed to kick-off that will greatly increase everyone's awareness of the BiblePay system. A full slide-deck should be developed that outlines the short term & long term goals clearly. See: http://smallbusiness.chron.com/deck-marketing-64930.htmlSlide decks are full of infographics and data optimized for "at-a-glance" viewing. BiblePay needs a substantial marketing deck to remove the people who come into the thread and make comments like "cchub" did on February 2nd: I thought this project was a pure joke, but it looks legit. WTF! Can somebody please explain to me whether it is really legit or only a joke?
Their opinion is certainly valid, too?
3. What things in particular make BiblePay look like a scam?
Three things: The Face - The accountability & pool site is akin to a green-screen wireframe graphic. It looks incredibly unprofessional and unrealistic. For some people, this is extremely off-putting. Not trying to be insulting, but I have had several very negative comments from people about the site, who are not otherwise negative. This image is a problem that for whatever reason the BiblePay team is not seeing--but it is there. The Code - The code and pool code work on the client end, but the pool end of it is not functioning for anything outside of the standard BiblePay site. One pool for all? This is a bit of a slip because at the same time people like Slovaks will have the ability to link their CPUs, there are other people without that ability until the tools are released. I understand you don't want the black hats to access the inner workings of the code but good always triumphs in the end. I've read the book, we win. Let's move forward. Occasional hiccups occur and we can all live with that, but this seems more like a very important function that is missing. I'm new to BBP and was shocked to find it was not already functional. The One Man Show - Rob should be actively finding his replacement for duplication/multiplication of his efforts. One person cannot fight the front lines in a forum thread with trash talkers, while building the next best thing in the lab. They are the ones who should be inspiring people to lead & rally to the cause but too often he is engaging people in fisticuffs, defending his work zealously. Not necessary. He has all of us to do that for him. Rob should be above all that. 5. What feedback do you have on the C++ Blockchain Developer Ad?
https://www.reddit.com/r/BiblePay/comments/7ph4k8/hiring_c_developer/
I feel this needs to be a paid position. One that warrants getting together with your investors / masternode owners and even one more important benefactor: the lead dev. Everyone should discuss the hire plan immediately. They should be the first official employee of BiblePay. Also, the lead dev should be the one to be sacrificing the most (financially investing in) for the new developer since they benefit most immediately & directly. If Rob has to divest his own mined BBP to hire help, so be it. I hate to say it but that's what equity stake is. It is when owner's take a stake and don't passing off that cost to the new incoming people (Ponzi). Unless Rob has no coin to sell, then why isn't a council in charge and already hiring a developer at market rate absent Rob's "blessing"? Although the work is being turned down by other devs you may even have to pay a 10%-20% premium on top of market rate to get what you need. The show must go on.... 6. We dont have much money to pay for work, yet, We've only had 1 budget cycle so far and the next one ends in 2 weeks,
If 5.7 million BBP is in this budget cycle then why are you giving 3.8 million BBP to charity (that is over 66%, not even close to 10%). 570,000 goes to Charity. Simple, end of story. Re-cast the expenses to match the actual income. This is done by not over-commiting finances that aren't there. That is why every coin available should be wisely re-invested. No one should be making any profit at this stage except crypto daytraders speculating on movement. Since nothing can stop that kind of bottom-feeding, it exists whether we acknowledge it or not. Where I take issue is, I'm new to the forum and I've already been solicited to hire a developer. Are we developing blockchain as a faith-based currency or are we just paying bills now? 7. Are you interested to propose work?
Proposals: http://forum.biblepay.org/index.php?board=5.0
Yes I can offer quite a bit when it comes to linux systems administration and organizational/leadership development. I'm an accomplished businessperson myself and would love to contribute some work to the project. We could use all the help we can get! :)
That's why I joined Slack! Surprised its so quiet in there! You asked for more ideas so here goes: A) The accountability page needs help. The accountability site is supposed to be where people feel good. By simply posting the receipts online, it looks like an "expense" and not an opportunity. It is impossible to feel good looking at the site unless you were an accountant happy to see your client keeping receipts. Simply having the data on the website is not the same thing as presenting a unified message saying "we are ACTIVELY helping". yes, I understand there are other areas of the site which display the orphans and their letters but I am talking exterior optics, not inside baseball since you would have to be far deeper than a looker before you would ever see the docs pertaining to accountability. This should be SURFACE-LEVEL and not several layers deep. B) Regarding the troublemakers and their exploitative mining, it is definitely an issue to contend with running a public blockchain but you have to accept the fact that even exploitative miners are tithing whether they realize it or not so they aren't the MOST URGENT ISSUE. Meeting the BiblePay directives & timetables should be. ================== Excellent thoughts, merited. This is exactly what I think is the missing puzzle piece for BiblePay to grow to the next level. I couldn't have expressed it better myself.
Even though this may sound illogical, I firmly believe that design is more important than tech, especially so if the target audience are Christians who are not very tech-savvy. Making the wallet look aesthetically pleasing and easy to use via GUI, without ever having to go something like the "debug console", will do wonders. It's been ages (in crypto time) when there's been some discussion about hiring a Qt wallet designer, which I understand has been deprioritized because of the plans to go with the Stratis platform, which would bring a new look on the table, but since that's been pushed to almost a year from now, maybe we should go back to the idea of redesigning the current Qt wallet? Because I can't really see this current wallet design make a breakthrough in the year to come.
The wallet needs a Chinese language version for our bretheren & sisteren (?) in the communist nation. Big priority should be on the wallet update and cleaning it up for international use. All good ideas and needed execution. if it will help, I'll review candidates and inspect their work product, as well. It'll be a blast. Where do I sign up??? |

C`ant believe you ppl still mine this...
I just mine in the background on my PC or laptop. There's the occasional problem but I've found it easier to get coins than with most others I've tried. It's a shame there's not a decent exchange yet but it's still early days. I can never understand the negativity, doesn't put me off at all. I'm curious about what you mean by "It's a shame there's not a decent exchange yet ..." As of Feb 1st BBP is now listed with SouthXchange, which by typical exchange standards is much more than just decent. SouthXchange is an excellent fit for BiblePay at this stage of the project. You may want to check it out. I hadn't noticed, hopefully an improvement but still a very small exchange. Perhaps it will grow but there's a lot of big exchanges with huge volume, they're the ones I'd like to see BBP on. I do know that's not going to be easy and I don't mind keeping my coins in a wallet until it happens. Yes I agree, it would be nice to be listed on a major exchange. Maybe you can contact one the major exchanges like GDAX to see what's involved in their listing process. Just PM me when you get that info and I'll help you raise the listing fee via donation/loans. Thanks sharpshot! Before listing on something like GDAX - I would strongly advise the team at BiblePay to re-vamp the coin's image. Recently, users on this thread have come out of nowhere and said BiblePay looks like a scam. While presenting it to others in my sphere - I also received the same feedback.

Svirusxxx2 , is your version compatible ? I tried it but got : Error loading block database.
Do you want to rebuild the block database now? Flushing blocks, chainstate , database didn't help . can't t synchronize blockchain Yes, I'am mining in solo few blocks in week. Gcc 6.3.0 . When cloning your master I also got incompatible chaindata and had to start chaindata from scratch. Also when running, error log fills with "Misbehaving Peers" hmm... strange, couse I only change hash table, and I don't change anything inside So any value in hash table must be same. I will update my version to master, and make push request one more time. I dont see any commits on your github. Was this ever finished? |

40 blocks hole occasionally is ok, but if it goes with another and another hole and we solved 3 blocks in 15 hrs compared to 25 blocks in 24h before, then something is definitely wrong we can use magic 1 step procedure from every helpdesk  , restart it  Completely agree. And I have feeling that somebody is using our hashpower. What exactly do you mean, do you think the pool is stealing your hashpower? Btw just so every knows, there is at least 1 and maybe 2 private pools out there: Why not ask Ivan (Slovakias friend) how much hashpower they are running against his pool, (the second one Im not entirely sure of - I got questions in Chinese and cant find the account in the pool that matches the questions so I have no clue if they went live). Btw Andy Mucho tried to port Biblepay to GPU and could not do it. I worked with him in e-mail back and forth tried to help him hack it. The low nonce saved us. As I know Ivan does not have private pool. Why did he stop emailing me after he finished debugging the issue in the log with hashers against the pool not showing in leaderboard? I would love to work with you on this. Unlike some people, at least I will contribute & share my findings with the community. Could you reach out to me via Slack? I PM'd ya days ago and have been awaiting a response. Thanks! |

And I have feeling that somebody is using our hashpower. The blocks are being processed, just not by the main pool. Unfortunately the block explorer has been down for a while. Unsure of why. |
