BiblePay | 10% to Orphan-Charity | RANDOMX MINING | Sanctuaries (Masternodes)

Hi all,

Regarding pool performance that went down lately. It looks there must be another pool somewhere.
It also looks that many users adapted strategy in pool mining and went from single machines with many powerfull threads to many machines (most certain virtual) and use single vcpu on them. This gave them many more shares per hour. This works ok for that particular miner alone, but i wonder if the pool has negative effect because of this - it looks like that : the poll "Blocks Mined (24 hour period):46 (23%)" is still low.

Is there a way to find if there is another pool?

Best regards,
Simon

Is there anyone who owns BBP masternode can tell us how many coins will be got daily?
Does dev plan to list in new exchanges? CEX cannot allow to register and CM is down for several days. I cannot find an exchange to buy bbp

I've got a pair of MN.  Average is the statistical norm of just under 2 blocks a day, the rewards jump around a bit, but high 6's is pretty typical.  Looking at my logs, my MN2 has gotten 13 MN shares in the past 7 days, for a total of 87,600 so about 6730/block.  As the number of MN increase that will likely drop, but if the number of blocks can get back to 205 a day (its been lagging) it might even out.

The Dev has been diligently working on finding a new exchange or two.  It's tough because most the big ones want a huge fee, and those are the ones entertaining new coins.  But really, it's being worked on and for a coin of this age, having two minor exchanges is a pretty impressive feat.  C-Cex is on vacation until the 20th, so hopefully that will bring stability to the markets and CM has been under DDoS attacks for the better part of the new year.

Thanks for your kindly detailed answer. much appreciate bro.

Yes, too, is it interesting whether there is another pool?

I have no idea, and have no way of finding out.  It could either be a private pool or a botnet of actual biblepay wallets.
I know we had a botnet in China, as I received a lot of complaint emails when we forcefully upgraded from 1.0.6.7 to 1.0.7.1, they were blocked by the Chinese government, and at that time, we had 20% of our blocks being solved by 1.0.4.0 (IE what I believe was the botnet), so it could be that the botnet finally upgraded to 1.0.7.1 (see exec versionreport in the rpc).

Hi,

Thank, you. I guess China's users also has the right to mine this coin
We'll just have to do better than them, but I don't have an idea how 

Best regards,

[slovakia]

it's all suspicious whats goin on

rewards dropped next 25%  



diff is very low for botnet

bug is on your pool

tommorow well try to run our SLOVAK POOL cos we cant see on this mess

again problems with our hashing blocks
again problems with steal our coins from your pool
again problems with using easy https
again problems with setup gmail notifications
again problems with autopayouts


whats will be next?

How Private is Dash PrivateSend?

Warning: DASH privacy is worse than Bitcoin
https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@dnaleor/warning-dash-privacy-is-worse-than-bitcoin

Whoever wrote that DASH privacy article obviously biased against DASH.  Thats a pretty absurd risk - that the NSA is going to demand a masternode log from a cloud provider and actually be able to decipher whats in it.  First of all, we dont even have masternode mixing being logged, you have to enable certain debug switches (debug=true, debugmaster=true), second, you have to export logs regularly before they pass the pruning threshhold, third, I highly doubt the NSA is going to monitor Sanctuaries from Vultr and successfully get the log (even if it had something in it), so that risk is pretty absurd.  Out of 84 sanctuaries in our small community, one wouldnt even know which sanc log to look for. 

I read in a comment that the guy who wrote that steemit article was handing out Monero ads at a meeting where Evan Duffield was speaking LOL
Whats also interesting is that fluffypony of Monero is in the comments.

I have gotten a little more paranoid, with latest CPU memory bugs in the news, and from watching two Snowden documentaries over the holiday break LOL

Im trying to test PrivateSend now, but it seems like I can only put 2000 BiblePay as highest number for mixing.
This seems to be where you set how many coins you want to mix:

Settings >> Options >> Wallet >> Amount of BiblePay to keep anonymized

It looks like 2000 is set as maximum number in the GUI
https://github.com/biblepay/biblepay/blob/fd8db16748a8ae1e38d7bda5692353be00a14918/src/qt/forms/optionsdialog.ui#L266

Looks like there might be a command line option
https://github.com/biblepay/biblepay/blob/853affd8c070bfbfd8069abd4e4e8fc83f30afb9/src/init.cpp#L687

Basically my goal is to keep myself anonymous with the coins I was funded from the 1st superblock,
and if I ever wanted to send someone coins for payment for work or if I ever wanted to put up a public donation address, etc

===

UPDATE: I was able to add this to the biblepay.conf:

privatesendamount=1550001

and it showed in Amount and Rounds: 999999 BIBLEPAY
is that the max limit of coins you can mix in the code?

Can mixed coins be used to fund a Sanctuary?

I like your enthusiasm!

I see we have the 999999 limit in, most likely intended to keep the mixing overhead time down.  Good job on finding the switch.

There are some known issues in funding one vout with instantsend or darksend so it would be better to mix them first, then create yourself a new encrypted wallet, send the mixed funds there, then set up your sanc with that cold wallet, and that way you will have a standard vout for the masternode.conf file to refer to.

Each of these things is questionable, and I dont think you will be able to create a login page.

The autocofig for mining in the wallet wrote some "pool2" in my biblepay.conf
Is this the second pool you are searching for?


pool=http://pool2.biblepay.org

No, I don't think so. It's just different DNS name for the same server.

There is a difference though- the pool2 is actually a separate pool application that shares the same SQL server, so it did help our performance to deploy two instances of the pool.

We have HTTPS support on pool2 also.

Ok, that explains this entry.

An other Question.
I Try to buy some BBP since a few days.

But both Platforms do not work.
C-CEX does not support new accounts at time.
And CoinsMarkets seems to switch servers and crashes everytime i want to log in.

Where can I buy some BBP right now?

I took the plunge and am attempting to mix 999,999 BBP

So far it looks like its going through and creating all the denominations
It looks like 10 is the highest denomination for mixing? Im getting a huge amount of addresses with 10.0001 BBP, also 1.00001, 0.100001 and 0.0100001,
its already used up all of my 1000 keys three times now, at the rate of 10 BBP per address, wont that be 100k addresses that I will need? O_O

Do other users also have to use privatesend for my coins to have coins to mix with?

Given that we are over 100x more coin supply then Dash, should we have 100 and 1,000 BBP amounts for mixing available? (maybe even 10,000?)

Is this process stoppable?

I hope I dont break something or lose coins LOL,
Anything I should be aware of? Hopefully this works out. I wonder how long it will take O_O

UPDATE: It looks like the wallet stopped mixing for some reason, cant find anything poking out in the debug.log, but the "Stop Mixing" button turned back to "Start Mixing", Im going to give up for now and go back to default 2000 and attempt mixing that amount first

Hi all, is there a way to mine Biblepay on a Raspberry Pi 3 please?

Hi all, is there a way to mine Biblepay on a Raspberry Pi 3 please?

Great question. I tried for quite a while to get the source to compile on my Pi 3 before finally giving up. This does not mean that its not possible, just that I got lazy before finding the answer.

I believe at least 1-2 person in this thread got it working: 
https://www.reddit.com/r/BiblePay/comments/7iuyst/raspberry_pi_and_biblepay/

Please ping/message them and see if they will write a guide/steps

[togoshigekata]

Anyone want to test with me mixing 1,000 - 2,000 BBP coins?

Open Wallet >>> Overview Tab >>> click giant blue "Start Mixing" button in bottom left

Default mixes 1000 coins for 2 rounds (I have mine set to 2000 coins for 8 rounds)

I also have these checkboxes clicked:
Settings >>> Options >>> Wallet >>> Enable advanced PrivateSend interface, Enable PrivateSend multi-session
Below this you can change number of rounds "PrivateSend rounds to use" and number of coins to mix "Amount of Biblepay to keep anonymized"
Click Ok

I got it working..

You have to use Ubuntu mate. Make all the stuff from the Linux guide. Before you start the make process of the wallet, you have to make a big swap partition. Make something like 4GB. The 1 GB of the RAM is not enough for the build process.
The process needs arround 3 hours with one thread.

The hash rate is arround 110 Hash/s and the amount in the pool something between 0.6 and 1 BBP.

Hi rob,

You figure out what the issue is with the pool solving so less blocks? please let us know if we can do something, we are eager to help solve this.

Best wishes

Cutting and pasting the answer from just a few posts above

The Dev has been diligently working on finding a new exchange or two.  It's tough because most the big ones want a huge fee, and those are the ones entertaining new coins.  But really, it's being worked on and for a coin of this age, having two minor exchanges is a pretty impressive feat.  C-Cex is on vacation until the 20th, so hopefully that will bring stability to the markets and CM has been under DDoS attacks for the better part of the new year.

All I can say is lets hope CM gets the DDoS attacks under control.  Barring that, the only other option I see is for the coin to start it's own exchange which is what a lot of newer coins do.  But if that happened, the chorus of people crying that something was rotten in Denmark would intensify since a coin run exchange is seen as easy to manipulate.

The only real answer I see is if the Orphan Fund could set a price and say "anyone wanting to buy multiples of 10K or 25K or 50k coins, they are "X" BTC per "y" batch of coins.
