** 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.
