BiblePay - New Coin Launch - Official Thread

[bible_pay]

Hello,

Maybe I missed it in the threads.  But what changed in version .9?

Prior too, I was averaging 2-3 blocks per day across multiple computers.  Those same computers are now lucky to find a block every other day or nothing at all.  Every time it looks like I found a block in the log, I find the previously mentioned error:

Code:

 ** TestBlockValidity FAILED - pindexNew->pprev != chainActive.Tip() (assert(pindexNew->pprev == chainActive.Tip())); ** 

2017-08-13 01:33:04 

BiblepayMiner -- runtime error: CreateNewBlock: TestBlockValidity failed:  (code 0)

My slowest box is running at: (My dual X5660 6 core 2.80 GHz is running double below and same behavior)

Code:


{
  "blocks": 2945,
  "currentblocksize": 1282,
  "currentblocktx": 1,
  "difficulty": 0.04213095252789573,
  "errors": "",
  "genproclimit": 4,
  "network_khashps": 12991.77608838475,
  "hashps": 75184.82128285841,
  "minerstarttime": "08-10-2017 11:45:15",
  "pooledtx": 1,
  "testnet": false,
  "chain": "main",
  "biblepay-generate": true,
  "poolinfo1": "",
  "poolinfo2": "",
  "poolinfo3": "",
  "poolmining": false
}

Not much of a fan of pools, unless the reward split among the miners.  But at this rate, I am going to need to power down.

Would be curious to know the tech spec reasons on this version (.9).

Thank you.

We added the pool mining capability to 1.0.1.9, but if it is off in the config file, it should not affect the miner.  I found one block on 1019 on the external node.  The TestBlockValidity in the log should not be anywhere near where you found a block- that is when the miner creates a block (not when the miner found a solution).
Can you please check your logs and ensure this is only happening once every few hours?

I think the miner is OK in 1019.

Does the new wallet solve the issue where blocks are found but it throws an error?

I have won two blocks finally. But one block still in "immature_balance" for hours. How long does it take to confirm?

about 12 hours iirc

Just hover over the transaction in the overview.

Thanks, I think I have asked a stupid question.. Sorry about this because in order to save my resources, I used cli command to mine instead of open the wallet gui.

Quote from the wallet:
Generated coins must mature 102 blocks before they can be spent.

So in CLI you can use the command "listunspent" to see all of your unspent inputs, if they're spendable (true/false) and how many confirmations do they have. So after 102 confirmations, "spendable" will show "true".

What a joke!

"No block source available.

Wallet can't sync, so this is worthless.

Jesus wouldn't be happy with a bad wallet!

Im not aware of that happening.

If you do a 'run versionreport' from the RPC it looks like 95% are now on 1019 and everyone is still solving POW.

Over 550 connections on my node; working fine.

Leave the FUD and find a new coin.

I think Ill buy some BBP now on ccex.

The wallet won't work.  Many other people have reported issues.

Do you have the following line in your biblepay.conf?

Code:

addnode=node.biblepay.org:40000

[jpatz100]

Are there any plans to get BiblePay on a new exchange like Cryptopia, Bittrex, etc? I think it has a lot of potential given who it is being marketed to and the fact that is has no premine.

I try to mine this and it freezes my computer every time. (i7)

Any ideas?

Start with genproclimit=1 and then increase it until your CPU reaches ~90%.

EDIT: got it, thank you.

[inblue]

Just type in the console setgenerate true 1, then setgenerate true 2 and so on, or skip a few numbers if CPU is low.

And genproclimit=X is for putting in the conf file which you should do after you find a good value (wallet only reads it at startup).

No blocks in 24 hours, is it normal?

[jaapgvk]

Could someone please explain to me how to update the wallet in the most efficiënt/safe way on a Windows pc?

The way I did it now was to close the program and to delete everything except the wallet.dat (after first making a backup), and then running the 1.0.2.0 exe.

Is this the best way to do it? Or can I just close the program and run the update?

With that hashps/network_khashps ratio you should get about 3 blocks per day, but that is a long-term statistic. I'm also getting no blocks, I hope the distribution will be fair in the pool.

I don't think you have to upgrade to 1020 yet, as that version is just for testing the pool at the moment, but I am interested in the answer as well.

Hi All,

Since we use the opensource windows installer, it is very flexible to do an upgrade.

All you have to do is close the wallet, put a shortcut to the biblepay (bitness) download in your web browser.
When an upgrade occurs, click it, download the wallet, and click RUN.

From that point on your old windows program files shortcut will also point to the new version.

The installer overwrites the correct program files executables automatically.



EDIT: PS. On v1020, you dont really need to upgrade to it from 1019.  It only includes the features necessary to poolmine against testnet.
