** BiblePay 3rd Quarter Update **


- I will be temporarily passing my duties as Founder over to MIP for the next 60 days while I go on a programming sabbatical for BiblePay.  This is to help release our next major feature into testnet on time (the deadline is Sept. 30).  I'll be back on the Forum for our Cameroon One go-live and also when MIP is in the mountains.  Please contact MIP for day to day questions.
- We have our Cameroon-One Go-Live in Prod coming up at the end of August.  At this point, testing passed in testnet.  Cameroon-One hired a consultant to implement the BiblePay features.  We have a conference call Thursday to confirm things are on track.  We plan on doing a production test around Aug 15th.  If it passes, we plan on enabling the code at the end of the month.  (At this point, the last mandatory already contained the sanctuary code, so we don't anticipate a required upgrade).   

When Cameroon One goes live (with POOM), any BiblePay CPK will be able to sponsor a personal child at home, and be rewarded in GSC rewards for the child on a daily basis in BBP.  At today's rates, this means if you spend $40 per month in fiat with Cameroon-One, you will receive approx 3000 bbp per day in the GSC contract.

- MIP is working on mobile staking for the next version of BiblePay.
- I'm working on BIPFS (BiblePay IPFS).  I will release the wiki for this within 3 days to give everyone an idea of what this is for.
- Pastor Joshua in Kenya, who cares for 26 children being sponsored by us, is using Mobile BBP wallet to attempt to convert to local Shillings.  He will also be creating a proposal for future funding.
- Bhavani is working on the in-wallet Proposal Funding Level by Expense Type graph.
- Testnet testing for our .14 branch is going extremely well, now that we tested deterministic POSE successfully.  We regression tested our current branch (.13) in .14 successfully (we can mine and create and receive GSC rewards).  We are very close to testing ChainLocks.  Recently we successfully tested LLMQ, and the LLMQs have been resilient (this puts us on par with the very latest Dash releases and features). 
- We will be releasing a quick-sync feature very soon that will allow syncing from zero in a few minutes.

- One of the upcoming features coming up in our next BiblePay Sanctuary Release is called BMS (BiblePay middleware system).  The BMS allows the sanctuary to perform certain functions in a decentralized way.  One of the features being exposed to the users is the Christian Treasure Trove.  I want to take a minute to explain this to give the users a little homework in anticipation of the release.

I've received different confirmations from my various travels that some IT companies are starting to censor Christianity related content.  Some say results on search engines are being manipulated to give priority to a one world religion.  In my personal experience I noticed for example rapture videos that were uploaded recently are sometimes required to be 5 days old before I can see them - not to dwell on this, but let me make the assertion that there is a rising concern that Christian related content is being scrubbed from the web. 

This plus for example, I have seen certain documents available in search about certain theories about Popes, and the Vatican that were easily searchable at points in time and now appear to be lost (IE it is getting harder to find Vatican secret files and Pope related materials). 

So, the idea behind the Christian Treasure Trove is to have the Sanctuaries host critical Christian information, and this must be high caliber important information - forever.  Once uploaded into BIPFS, the info will be available as part of our exposed web presence (its a FQDN subdomain of biblepay.org with SEO) with our coming decentralized reverse DNS.

The way this affects You, our valuable User:
We would like you to download and keep any critical Christian information in a folder that you believe should be saved and available during the great tribulation, or during a time of scarcity of the Word of God.  It could be a testimony, a rapture dream, an end-times testimony (think things that are in BiblePay Pool external links), edifying things and/or things you believe are valuable.  And especially, documents that carry on the Word of God that could be sanitized from the internet. 

We will have a voting system where non-essential content gets voted down and eventually purged as good content gets voted up and automatically kept.  The future version will eventually estimate file sizes and fees associated with this, (and I understand the TT will be different than normal content so fees may not apply etc), but we will have a plan in place to ensure the Treasure Trove doesn't get overfilled with junk that can't be hosted without larger hard drives, etc.

So please remember to start looking for valuable Christian info that will keep the Word of God alive so you can share it.

** UPGRADING YOUR SANCTUARIES TO DETERMINISTIC (DIP3) **


Recently we explained during our Evolution Upgrade guide steps that at height 135,300 we would start upgrading our sancs to deterministic (https://wiki.biblepay.org/Evolution_Upgrade).

The goal is to finish this process by the end of August (before our August superblock emits).  So we have 28 days to perform this.

This will allow us to emit a superblock entirely from dip3 based sancs (and set us in a position for the next step in September).

Here are two resources we can start with containing instructions to upgrade your sanc from legacy to deterministic:
How to upgrade a legacy Sanc to a deterministic Sanc using the BiblePay upgrade tool (built in the core wallet):
https://forum.biblepay.org/index.php?topic=391.msg5968#msg5968

How to create a deterministic sanc from scratch the Dash way:
https://docs.dash.org/en/stable/masternodes/setup.html#option-2-registering-from-dash-core-wallet

Very important info for you to know:
If you use the BiblePay upgradesanc tool, BiblePay will automatically create a file called deterministic.conf in your Data directory (this is where your masternode.conf file is).  We will automatically add a new row to this file every time you upgrade a sanctuary to deterministic.  This file will contain your sanctuary name, ip, port, collateral txid, pro-tx txid, blsprivkey, blspubkey, and all other pertinent tx info on one row.

Note that you should back up this file occasionally, in case you destroy your cold sanctuary (VMSs).  This will allow you to retrieve the masternodeblsprivkey, which is required to recreate a deterministic sanctuary!  So remember, back up your deterministic.conf along with backing up your wallet.dat.  If you create sancs using the Dash method above you will need to manually copy your masternodeblsprivkey over to notepad and create a backup system to back up your notes.

Summarizing the process:

1.  We assume you have a sanctuary named 'biblical1'.    This sanctuary exists in your masternode.conf file.
2.  Type 'exec upgradesanc biblical1 0' into the RPC.  If an error is thrown, post here and we will help.  Otherwise continue to step 3.
3.  Type 'exec upgradesanc biblical1 1' into the RPC.  This results in many lines of output with all the keys etc.
4.  Edit your remote hosted sanctuary biblepay.conf file (your cold sanc VMS's biblepay.conf file).
5.  Add an entry:  masternodeblsprivkey=nnnnnn  (replace the n's with the blsprivkey which is found in the output of the command.  Alternatively you can also get this value from viewing the deterministic.conf file we created in your datadir).
    **** VERY IMPORTANT:  You must ensure your masternodeblsprivkey is correct on the sanctuary itself, otherwise your sanctuary will get POSE banned in the future, and will utterly fail in the next mandatory version (our future branch of biblepay requires the masternodeblsprivkey to allow the sanc to participate in LLMQ quorums.) ****

6.  Reboot the remote sanctuary.  
7.  Verify the sanctuaries masternode status is ENABLED from the controller wallet sanctuary list.
8.  From the sanctuary, type 'masternode status' and verify the status is "Masternode successfully started".

How do I upgrade many sanctuaries at once:

If you own a massive number of sanctuaries, you can run the upgradesanc command on all of them first, then write a program to loop through your deterministic.conf file on the controller wallet, and for each entry, connect to the remote host (by IP found in the data row), edit the remote cold sanc masternode.conf file, adding the masternodeblsprivkey=nnnn entry in the file.  Then rebooting the remote sanc via script.

** Recommendation **

It is recommended that each of us upgrade one today and take a look at the network and verify everything looks fine, then continue with more.


** Step 1 **

I just upgraded my first sanc to deterministic successfully using the upgradesanc method.  

Let's test a few and please provide feedback here if anyone encounters a glitch.

Hi Togo,
I am here in this project because of your PR activity.
Glad you are with us and happy to see the dedication.

Keep your useful posts here, in the official thread and everywhere.

Good men, with so much dedication, are hard to find.

God bless you

Starting tomorrow, no day job, no irons in the fire (except God's Kingdom), 100% BiblePay.  Let's streamline this baby and blow the doors off the crypto-market and rocket up to #25!


Don't forget to rest a bit and enjoy life.
God bless you good man  Smiley

My cpid is over 15 years old. What do you mean it expires in six months? Why would it expire? Last time I did exec associate again I lost 1-2 days of podc payments. Are you going to reimburse everyone for the lost time if they have to do exec associate again?

I can see what Rob means by reading this line:
"Are you going to reimburse everyone for the lost time if they have to do exec associate again?"

Guys, please be patient and communicate in a nice manner and good spirit.

Time is not lost, this is code development! and Rob is putting his precious time to support this project.
Your highest interest is to make him feel good to support us.

Masternode questions.
I am getting this every few weeks:
"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx": "NEW_START_REQUIRED"

Why this happens ?
How to resolve this the quickest way ?

I am on this coin over a year now.
i am aware of frustrations from everyone due to price decline.
If I would bail out, I will lose thousands of dollars.

However, I am so shocked on the time and effort Rob put into this coin,
it seems that he put into it all his time and a lot of his money.

I appropriate it a lot Rob, Thanks for your effort supporting us,
with this effort continuing we cannot fail.

God bless you good man.

We integrated the pool with the Walmart API.

46k BBP for $15 Subway Gift card delivered by fedex very quickly.



Thank you for confirming!  Thanks for ordering.  I ordered one myself and saw on the back of the card that it's reloadable.
Its something cool for us to keep in mind if we ever want to reload our users Subway cards.

Also, I did take a look at e-mailing gift certificates and made some progress on that, but I need to update everyone later as there are higher priority things going on right now.

But I will persistently get back to that project asap as I found one solid and concrete way for BiblePay to e-mail a gift card from the pool with WalMart gift cards.



Great!
when can we see BBP Gift Cards for non-US residents ?
Maybe Ebay / GOOGLE PLAY / Amazon  ?

I ask you not to drop PODC support, as we are today the only profitable coin for BOINC community.
Dropping BOINC support in Biblepay will decrease the computer power in BOINC -> harming cancer curing research.
We help saving lives! Cry  - you cannot say this for any other mining protocol.

Promoting Christian values (which includes BiblePay's survival) comes first. PoDC is a good idea but has many parts to set up and many newcomers found it difficult. Even for me, that works in IT, there's a lot of places I got stuck while trying to figure out PoDC. I think PoG can replace PoDC over time and more people can participate because PoG is very easy to use. Hopefully, Rob will make a checkbox in QT wallet, a default for how often you want to give, restart wallet, and you're good to go.

Since PoDC is still live, I'd like to see slow switch... like 100 days to which from PoDC to PoG. Day 1 PoG is 1% of daily superblock. Day 10 PoG is 10% of daily superblock. Day 100 PoG is 100% and PoDC is 0%. Each block day (205 blocks) x 100 = 20500 blocks. That will give everyone more than 3 months to adjust to PoG. BiblePay PoDC alternatives are GridCoin, ByteBall, Neumannium (WAVES), and DCP (DCC token, aka SPARC alpha). I encourage you to participate in PoG testnet and use the BBP you bought or earned with PoDC and use it for PoG (Proof Of Giving).

There is no longer alternative to Biblepay these days. Byteball is out now and other coins are not profitable,
That's why I said that we are the only profitable option for BOINC.

Please don't forget we are helping curing cancer and if we will drop support - many stations (including mine) will stop using BOINC, hurting these curing projects.
I suggest to keep BOINC even when we go to PoG.

Keeping the "Help curing cancer" trademark on our flag.

116  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BiblePay | 10% Charity | POW/PODC | CPU/Cancer Mining | Sanctuaries on: January 13, 2019, 09:34:06 AM
Short-term we talked about it merging with POBH.   The long term goal was to replace PODC.

Just to clarify... You can't merge PoG with PoBH (PoW) because PoG is a daily superblock now. Perhaps I misunderstood and you meant the economics are siphoning from PoBH? After being in testnet, I've changed my mind and see sharing the PoDC with PoG makes more sense now. With GridCoin (GRC) pool and that guy from Turkey being the biggest BOINCers, I don't even see PoDC participants being aligned with Christian values. So, the sooner we can get off PoDC safely, the better. After the team requirement went away, there was no marketing angle being able to say a Christian coin was helping to cure cancer.  Now I feel like the messaging like seoccular says is to say to BiblePay is about promoting Christian values. Whether that is tithing, giving to charities (compassion, bloom, kairos), or something else... as long as it aligns with defined Christian values, it allows BiblePay to be more agile and test out innovative and/or novel technologies without deviating from the "Christian values" angle.

Thanks Sun, I appreciate your thoughts that take Christianity into consideration in the total mission.

I can say also that I love how philanthropic the BOINC community is in giving distributed computing time.  But I also feel that we as a community are capable of spreading the Gospel to masses and might have painted ourselves in a corner by appealing to a small segment of the available miners.  It will be very interesting to see if we can appeal to a few new users per day that feel like coming back daily to visit Christian spaces and evangelize to their friends.

Dear BBP community,
I ask you not to drop PODC support, as we are today the only profitable coin for BOINC community.
Dropping BOINC support in Biblepay will decrease the computer power in BOINC -> harming cancer curing research.
We help saving lives! Cry  - you cannot say this for any other mining protocol.

I suggest to code a more easy BOINC adaptation platform - in Byteball BOINC adaptation was very easy.

Happy new year BBP team!
I will wish you all a very good year.

As I understand, we are planning to drop BOINC in the near future, and POG, which replace it, will not use CPU power.
so, is this means that BBP will no longer be attractive to the CPU mining community ?

I own ~30 CPU mining stations, using BOINC.
I see I have no alternative to used them in BBP, but to switch them to a different coin Sad

118  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BiblePay | 10% Charity | POW/PODC | CPU/Cancer Mining | Sanctuaries on: December 25, 2018, 05:17:58 PM
please dont make some upgrades over xmas like last year Smiley it was neverending compiling and deploying marathon Smiley

In worst case just switch over CPU power to another coin and keep MN running only :-) thats my emergency plan.

Which coins do you mine?
Are there any profitable CPU-only coins these days ?

TRIPLE DIPPING with BYTEBALL ended: 10x times less rewards from 24th .... the best time to jump into POG  hooooray

BYTEBALL bye bye

Where did you see that BYTEBALL dipping ended ?

Bottom right "CHAT" button of of the Byteball Wallet in the "WCG distribution" section:

Quote
Dear WCG cruncher,

First of all we want to wish you Happy Holidays with your friends and family!

Last time we wrote you about diminishing returns for more than 40 connected devices. This measure alone has proven to be ineffective. Unfortunately we are going to have to change the rules a second time.

Again, WCG rewards are meant for new users to be able to discover Byteball by donating some spare CPU power to a good cause, not to make money.

For now we are going to reduce the reward to $1 per 1,000,000 WCG points earned, effective from Monday December 24 on. This way the method will still work like a faucet but it will be much harder to make a profit, which was never intended. We’ll monitor what this change does and make further changes when necessary.

Happy crunching Smiley

The Byteball Team


So if we are the only coin that can be profitable with BOINC why do we need to stop BOINC now ?
