BiblePay - New Coin Launch - Official Thread

[DisasterFaster]

Can anyone confirm whether or not this is the most recent wallet version?

Biblepay Core version 1.0.1.9 (64-bit)

For some reason after rebooting the wallet it gets stuck on the synchronization at 0 hours behind?

I got the same, but it only took some time. Try to leave it on for some time.

So I was just looking over the interfaces at compassion.com (thats the org we started initially partnering with to sponsor orphans.  Each longest waiting child is $40 a month, btw.).  So I reached out to May the director of the region I am in, and she expressed interest in holding meetings with conf calls for IT integration (ideas like an API to sponsor an orphan, a query for the sponsored orphan list, etc). 

This morning, I found an interface where we can electronically write a letter (with pictures) to an orphan that we sponsor, and we can receive a list of incoming letters from the orphans who write to us.  I was thinking we should look into adding this ability to the wallet, so the community can take over this function.  (Since normally, to have a social media presence, we have someone manually manning twitter, facebook, and handling the correspondence between the orphans and the community.  (We would probably need one full time volunteer just to write to our orphans!).

So trying to do this in a more efficient way, if we clone our Send BBP page, and make a write to sponsored orphan page, we could make a multiline textbox with a space for a letter to a child, and let anyone on the blockchain write a letter to one of our current sponsored orphans, and shoot it through the Compassion API.  This may sound funny or rife for abuse, but otoh, its important, because these children are waiting for us and some are depressed, and just waiting for letters.  The interface is already there, and that would take one function off of a full time volunteer.  As far as receiving letters from our orphans back to the community, we could potentially insert those letters back in the chain and allow our community to view them in the wallet.

I would be a little worried that some users might intentionally send offensive materials in an effort to jeopardize the project's relationship with the charity partner. If the people at compassion.com are okay with filtering the occasional offensive letter on their end it might work, since I doubt it'd be a common occurrence.

Would it be practical to somehow have Sanctuaries involved in checking the letters once masternodes are implemented?

And then it freezes on last command sudo make, last output:

Ive been waiting 20 minutes,
is it frozen?, did I do something wrong? or do I need to wait longer?
(Its just a one core machine Im testing/building on, I have very little Linux experience and almost no mining experience)

The very first compile takes over an hour on a fast machine as it has to build all the obj files and moc stuff for qt.

Wow, one hour is really lol... i never built a wallet with more than 30 minutes before. But I will try with togoshigekata method in my Ubuntu 16.04 later. Will update my status.

Okay, I managed to build the wallet successfully. But it is not the gui version, or maybe I overlook it? How to build for the qt GUI wallet?

If all your qt dependencies are there then look in biblepay/src/qt for the qt binary.

Thank you very much. You really save my day

I'm not very handy with Linux compile and qt, mainly on Windows machine.

ok am i doing something wrong. I had been mining for about 5 days on an older laptop and had not found anything so i figured ok, maybe its because its older it does not have the power to do this. So 2 days ago i used some free credits to spin up a could server to do nothing but hash biblepay. 2 days and still nothing. Here is my info

What am i doing wrong or am i just that unlucky.

You are not doing anything wrong. Iv ran 600k for a day without any blocks and found 2 just as I was going to shut it down. I am letting it run a little while longer. Hopefully the pool will be up soon.

When you say 600k is that the hashps? what type of processor are you using?

80 000 coins 200 satoshi each.

Why is god only valued at 30 satoshi?
I mean I will even have to buy some bags for cheap god
777 satoshi should be target ok , thank you.

I think some of the bigger whales are waiting on the sidelines to ensure we do what we say we will do: We will dump the orphan cold wallet, spend 100% on orphans, and provide an orphan database that is auditable on the expense side, then when they feel more comfortable that this is 100% legit I think we will get a lot more attention.  It should become very clear to them within 60 days.

As I said. I'm in , I like the idea of helping others so I will be watching.

[mdikmetas]

i cant understand how to mine?

Dev Can you explain the reasoning behind the size of the block reward and the effect on inflation.

I dont know Jack about anything ^^"

...But would it have something to do with how Difficult it is to mine?

Or...If the Pool is about to "nullify" the difficulty factor ...then...would raising the Block Time even things out perhaps? (Again i dont know Jack ^^")

Difficulty in crypto is a value that adjusts with the network hashrate such that the time between blocks will remain statistically consistent. It's just a tool to ensure that new currency is produced at a stable rate, completely unrelated to the amount of currency rewarded per block. Pools are unrelated to difficulty, they merely even out the randomness of solo mining. You don't need to increase block times if network hashrates increase because difficulty is by definition the value that keeps the block time consistent regardless of how much processing power is thrown at the blockchain.

The reward is purely a design choice. I'm sure the devs had a reason for going with 20k and there are some good reasons for decide to go with high volume or low volume, but as far as miners  and traders are concerned it doesn't really matter whether you're dealing with a small number of high priced coins or a large number of low priced coins.

[Victory33]

Can't wait for the pool. Solo mining is a bit hard I hope there will be now standalone miner for long time so not botnets.

[gradys225]

wallet is not synchronized! where the node view ?
