BiblePay - New Coin Launch - Official Thread

[bible_pay]

Is this funny, would it be right to make money and get money with the word "GOD"? I'm not religious, but this is appearing the pastors of my country, in addition the amount of coins is very, how do you want to add value to this?

Hi Mihawk,

Well, in the vein of what you are saying, its certainly true that greed and religion dont mix.  Look at Ananias and Saphira, they both dropped dead after trying to lie about the sales price of their land.  Look at the NDEs where the clinically dead has seen the megachurch pastors burning in hell for stealing church money. 

However, in this case, I was careful to set this up so that we all as a community take all the risk and devote some of our volunteer time, so that 100% of the tithes go directly to the orphans.  So the net result would be positive in the sense that : the mined blocks tithed the biblical amount, we benefit those in need, and inadvertently spread the gospel inside the source code (IE extending Gods Kingdom), and over the long term we create a community of like minded individuals (meaning we can pray for each other in an in wallet prayer room).

watch out guys. a hard fork is coming. There are still some people running the old version. And after block 500, those who running the old version will be hard forked.Their minings will be different from the new version.

It's not a very large sample, but 6 out of the 8 peers connected to me are running 1.0.1.5 or lower.

-edit-
Looked at the peer info from some of my other nodes, those looked a bit better. 15 out of 22 peers were running 1.0.1.6.

Look at block 495.  There are two 20k coins rewarded. And there are three recipients.  Why is that? Is that common when two blocks are mined at almost the same time?

same things happened to block number 498

It's kind of hard to read on the block explorer, but it's not two rewards. The list shows all transactions, not just blocks mined (mining a block is itself a transaction since coins are issued to a receiving address).

Using block 495 as an example, it contains two transaction hashes, 71ce1908f47e8c8a301ffdc98a1b72c0cdc72a59343a613011b38ef2e0c1a599 and 2ec6f92d60ab3a5118c2e2c614908faab37e80f4287f3d435a39829317009d45. This first is the mining event, showing 19979.00004980 new BBP being issued to the receiving address BQBxjH7oeFWesSj8YHRNBbibseEXxaTnqj.

The second is a normal transaction, someone sent 2 BBP from the sending address B6XrHp2QS4k9qmZuQL3tQY3922wZ3QbX3i to the receiving address B9Y2GuK68WruvMSjX8PqmAiobdTXWmqQ3C. This is the part where it gets weird. Personally I'm not really sure what's going on myself (maybe the dev has an idea?), but it seems like when a payment is sent from an address, the specified amount is sent to the designated payment recipient, and the remaining balance associated with the sending address is sent to a new receiving address linked to the same wallet as the sending address. I think it might be some kind of payment anonymizing feature?

To try to clarify, say I have <address 1> with 100 BBP linked to it.
I send 2 BBP to <address 2>.
The blockchain will record this as single transaction with two receiving address where 100 BBP were sent from <address 1>, 2 BBP were received by <address 2>, and 98 BBP were received by <address 3>, with <address 3> being a newly generated receiving address linked to the same wallet as <address 1>.

Sorry if it's not very clear, I'm not 100% clear on this myself, but that was the gist that I got from experimenting.

No extra BBP is being generated. You can confirm this by dividing the total coin supply (10017274.0028612 as of now) by the number of blocks (501 currently) and getting 19,994.5 BBP which is the average block reward.

That was me sending 2 BBP to myself (Don't ask why)

Looks like we forked the difficulty is way down and I've found 9 blocks within a two and a half period time. Running 1.0.1.6. On a separate note it looks like disabling the monitor power save function allowed me to mine all night.

Yeah I was sleeping from block 500-510 but it looks like we recovered- diff is back up and on the external node, and everyone but a few upgraded (I see over 90% on the new version).  I was not too worried about it, because the old client is mostly backward compatible with the rule (IE, if we had only 51% upgraded, the old wallet would actually accept the tithe blocks, but could only not mine the Tithe block properly) so I figured we would recover at the worst once 51% reject the questionable tithe block and gain the advantage.

On that 2bbp transaction, we do have the anonymizer from dash, for a later discussion, but in this case I wanted to say, the wallet has to break large bills almost like a cash register clerk, when you have an input that is 20000 and you want to spend 2, you actually spend the 20000 and receive 19998 in change, so that is why those type of initially spent mined tx look confusing.

where can i buy this coin? wanna invest much btc

[synace]

19 hours in, no blocks.

"networkhashps": 1670.96146212608,
"hashps": 13644.09384447202,

anyone working on a pool?

[kisscat]

i mining on 2 pcs,but the block height is diffrent.
one is 544 and another is 570.

the pc which block height is 544 found 9 serial blocks from 535 to 544.
and these blocks CAN NOT find on the http://biblepay.inspect.network.

did i mine alone in a wrong blockchain?

i've reboot the pc and wallet but noting changed.
should i keep mining on it?

[PewPewGoesTheDuck]

I'm currently on Block 571. I was mining all morning and the client did a hard crash and came back up with a syncing issue. Cleared the blockchain files and rebuilt and then reloaded my wallet. Got me onto the right chain. So I lost about 5 hours of mining. I was finding to many blocks for it to be realistic anyways 8+.

Yeah we probably have a remnant of a fork out there from block 500s mandatory change.

Try doing a showblock 570 and see if this hatch matches:

0000002f2664560053e01cfc0aea95a92b833d2b5363771423adf1e7497b95a7

Otherwise try deleting your blocks folder and chainstate folder, and rebooting.

Regarding the crash issue I will have a look at that later today if possible.

Regarding the pool, I am thinking of writing one, but if someone else is already considering doing that please let us know.
We can still solo mine for a while even if it takes a month to find a block.

Getockhash 570 is the same as yours.

Been trying to build this on a VPS but the build always fails on the make step. Is it possible to build just 'biblepayd' only?
For context, I've been building other wallet daemons with a 'make -f makefile.unix' without problem.

I'm not really an expert on this sort of thing, but looking through the source code BiblePay basically wraps Dash in a BibleHash? It looks like a normal x11 hash which is fed into the BibleHash algo and if both the x11 hash and BibleHash hash satisfy the target for the current difficulty then it's a solution? If that's the case, I don't think it'd be terribly difficult to extend existing x11 cpu miners and pool frameworks to work with BBP. Probably a little bit too advanced for me currently, or I'd give it a shot myself.

Getting one every 12 hours. Still good to mine

What failure message do you get? It is not a stock standard traditional compile. Post your error message that you get.

Do you mean to build Biblepay wallet in Linux?

I have tried to build biblepay in Ubuntu 14.04 but failed with openssl version issue. Then I built again in Ubuntu 16.04 without problem. Just follow the instructions of a file named something like "build biblepayforlinux.txt" in the git will do.
