there's steemit publish0x with medium

also bbp changes reward amount based on difficulty

some of the differences are deprecated

I think we have a steemit, I just havent used it in a long time
https://steemit.com/@biblepay

publish0x sounds cool, sounds like steemit

Does Dark Gravity Wave (DGW) change the rewards or is that a BiblePay thing?

Does Dark Gravity Wave (DGW) change the rewards or is that a BiblePay thing?

"Does Dark Gravity Wave (DGW) change the rewards or is that a BiblePay thing?"

-> DGW is just a 'cooler' retarget mechanism than Bitcoins.  It was created in the spirit that tried to stop the hash bully that was taking advantage of small altcoins.
Dash (and Us) change the reward subsidy based on the DGW difficulty, with the lower reward per higher diff.  The logic is if we get attacked with a successful amount of high hashpower they will receive diminishing rewards during the attack.

"Can the regular wallet mine on the NOMP pools? or is external miner still needed?"
->  The core wallet can solo mine, but it cannot connect to NOMP pools.  This is primarily because we don't have STRATUM in the core wallet (as that would violate the exchange covenant and add in the 'virus' warning).  However note that I do have a side project with a workaround, coming before the end of Q3 2020.  We will write a STRATUM connector in dotnet that won't violate the exchange convent, and I believe we will have the core call through that to nomp, to allow pool mining from biblepaycore.  We will also speed up the core wallet to make it equal to the external miner at the same time.  (Its currently at 90% speed as compared to the external miner).

I think we are finally going places.

I just bought a $5 Walmart gift card from the biblepaycore wallet, using DASH in less than 30 seconds.

The checkout flow was perfect and fluid!

- I added the $5 walmart card to the cart on bitrefill.com, and used rob@biblepay.org as my address
- I typed the command below in the wallet
- The IX tx immediately updated on my browser
- I printed out my walmart scannable gift card on my printer

The whole process took about 60 seconds.

Now, its time for us to put this in the wallet.

May God protect BiblePay through this complete integration.


The goal is to have this feature in Alpha for Christmas!

(This will be even cheaper in prod, with higher denoms).

great news on bbp to dash auto swap and pay. would love to know the technicals as you refine the feature .

I could be wrong but last time I checked dash mining reward was fixed regardless of difficulty. maybe reward was dynamic in the early days of dash? doesn't seem to be the case today. maybe for dash with the Advent of x11 Asics the difficulty spikes are not as random as a cpu botnet. the dynamic mining reward makes emission levels harder to predict but even monthly super blocks emissions are hard to predict so I think it goes with the territory of masternode coins.

They still use it at the current height:
https://github.com/dashpay/dash/blob/master/src/validation.cpp#L1164

They have a cap on the reward of 25 dash, so it could be hitting the cap and appear not to be there, but for us its a lot easier to see the effects.

Although it makes the emission a little harder to predict, it also gives us some peace & security to know that if we are ever attacked the reward goes down.  I think there is also a benefit for the bigger holders, to know there is a conservative side to the expenses.   I don't think we've achieved the broad user base yet however, to see the fruits of our labor.

Christmas release update:
We will be enabling Kairos and PODC 2.0 a little later today (IE about 8 more hours).

First, we will release an alpha version of BiblePay with the DashPay feature.  I'm looking for a few beta testers to test this alpha feature today.
Please go easy on us - its alpha.

Standby for the release.

[bible_pay]

BiblePay
1.4.8.4-Leisure Upgrade

- Add 'dashpay' and 'trackdashpay' RPC commands.
- Add 'poom_payments' RPC command.

** Binaries have been deployed **

To test the new alpha feature : dashpay, please see this guide:
https://wiki.biblepay.org/DashPay_RPC

[sunk818]

what does poom_payments do?

[bible_pay]

what does poom_payments do?

Thats the command that Cameroon or Kairos uses to list all payments paid via the 'paysponsorship' command.  Note that 'paysponsorship' command now requires the Charity name to make a payment.  (It used to be called paycameroon).

Thanks Togo!

Hopefully some day we will be able to pay our rent with it, but for now at least we can buy a gift card.

Enough masternodes upgraded that you will need to upgrade now

Can you please try upgrading next?  Ive already upgraded my sancs and home node, and the exchanges have upgraded, so at this point it would be counterproductive for me to downgrade just to see if they are on a fork.  We can ask others, if anyone else is running the old version if they are going on a fork?

Upgrade works fine. The expectation from the previous communication about 1.4.8.4 was that 1.4.5.3 should work until the mandatory cutover block height. This doesn't seem to the case. Its not a big deal because the cutover height will arrive shortly, but it'd be nice to help wallet users plan better.

Correct, the code was supposed to be compatible until the cutover height; there is no flaw in the code. In addition it was written so to remain compatible even with the upgraded sancs.

However there is a DASH rule, where once 60% upgrade to the new governance protoversion, the old governance protoversion is no longer respected.

So, I believe this is a unique case, because we had a mandatory for the gov-protoversion to increase at the same time the wallet version increased.

If this ever comes up again, we will say:  "By the height" or "when 60% of the sancs upgrade" whichever comes sooner- and we will have to monitor the progress.

Very interesting; Harmful and dangerous content?  Just like how snopes already comes to the conclusion for us for the reason things happen.
It wont be long before Christian content is also deemed harmful and dangerous (as Christians were almost considered terror-ists just a few years ago).

So , maybe it 'is' different this time, regarding the change in policy on Dec 10th.

Ill be researching this.

[bible_pay]

I posted on reddit about the new DashPay feature:
https://www.reddit.com/r/BiblePay/comments/ef3yyw/new_alpha_development_feature_dashpay_buy_gift/

I found a video of Amanda B Johnson from Dash using Bitrefill to buy her groceries:
https://twitter.com/amandab_johnson/status/1162059133538844672

Sweet, yeah I wonder if we should post it in the Dash thread, I wonder if they would be happy or helpful, lol.
Thats cool Amanda buys groceries with it.  I just realized since it so fast, you can do this from mobile in the line.
That brings up the next question for MIP, I wonder if we can mobilize this lol?  Lets wait til he rolls out the Church Tithing feature first.

On a side note I see a lot of BBP being bought on DASH/BBP today - I didnt even realize we had BBP/DASH and BBP/LTC (I knew we had DASH/DOGE):
https://www.southxchange.com/Market/Book/BBP/DASH

So I had to run out to walmart to get some things including some syrup today, so I tried buying it with BBP, and it worked!  It wasnt painful.  I bought a $5 card, went through the checkout line and the clerk scanned the paper certificate and it was accepted.  So I can confirm that the Bitrefill paper certificates are as good as cash....

[bible_pay]

So in the spirit of a smooth PODC 2.0 rollout, and a smooth Kairos rollout, Im going through and verifying our team settings, etc, and getting ready to add a researcher.

First ensure you are upgraded to 1.4.8.4, then:

For those of you who want to sponsor a Kairos child, please type this:
exec join kairos

To be on the safe side, if you already sponsor a cameroon-one child type this also:
exec join cameroon-one

For those of you who have CPIDs, type this:
exec join wcg
exec associate username wcg_verification_code true

To find your username in WCG:
Log into your WCG account at 'worldcommunitygrid.org' with your WCG E-mail address and WCG password.",
  "Step 2": "Click Settings | My Profile.  Record your 'Username' and 'Verification Code' and your 'CPID' (Cross-Project-ID).",
  "Step 3": "Click Settings | Data Sharing.  Ensure the 'Display my Data' radio button is selected.  Click Save. ",
  "Step 4": "Click My Contribution | My Team.  If you are not part of Team 'BiblePay' click Join Team | Search | BiblePay | Select BiblePay | Click Join Team | Save.",
  "Step 5": "NOTE: After choosing your team, and starting your research, please give WCG 24 hours for the CPID to propagate into BBP.  In the mean time you can start Boinc research - and ensure the computer is performing WCG tasks. ",
  "Step 6": "From our RPC console, type, exec associate your_username your_verification_code true",
  "Step 7": "Wait for 5 blocks to pass.  Then type 'exec rac' again, and see if you are linked!  ",
  "Step 8": "Once you are linked you will receive daily rewards.  Please read about our minimum stake requirements per RAC here: wiki.biblepay.org/PODC"

For researchers in PODC:
After all this is successful, you can send a GSC transmission (this contains your PODC daily stake), but you only have to do this once - today - just to test it:
sendgscc wcg

If you leave the wallet on, it will automatically send the WCG stake once per day (at the height shown in 'exec rac').
