I will wait awhile to upgrade to new wallet version, just to ensure if it is stable without issue. I have been upgrading too many times, I think this is the most versions coin wallet in the world.

I'm still with same suggestion as I did in the early days, please do test it well before release, it might freak out investor and trader.

[slovakia]

second:

I think we need to find a way to 'block' the botnet.
I am not against solo mining. I am against solo mining with the profit going to wrong people. I think that's not the idea of the coin.
It feels pretty wrong and bad.

But, I also know it is quite hard/maybe even impossible. Are there coins that prevent solo mining??

Some suggestions:

New mandatory update, that would cripple there botnet for a while.
And we can find out if the theory is correct.

Make some 'registration' for solo miners.
If you are solo mining you need to provide a identification token that can be validated. The identification token must be requested 'by hand' via the pool/block chain.
ie: preventing automatic setup, users need todo some steps in order to be able to mine the coin. This way legit users can solo mine but botnet are likely to stop since it's lots of manual labour.

Could be something like a hash that need to be requested via a webpage with a captcha on it so that it can't be automated. Or anything.
Or block all solo mining (if possible). But that would be the least favourite option.
(although I think that if you have a low power cpu there is no reason not to join the pool, and we can prevent users from running there pc without any reason. Since the users with low cpu are probably less experienced miners)

What do you guys think?


p.s.

I can help with some work, I work as a javascript (nodejs/polymer) and java developer. C++ is a while ago, but at least I can help testing and think about solution maybe.

Rob can you to implement this things for kill DA BOTNET?

Hi all,

A possibility to get BBP on a new exchange.

Recently a new decentralised exchanged launched called Next.Exchange. There has been a bit of hype around it.
One nice feature is that the community can suggest tokens to be listed there and "upvote" that token. If the post gets enough interest (250 upvotes) then they will look at listing that token.
Someone named "Jarid McCool" has already started the suggestion of listing BiblePay on Next.exchange. If you would like to try to get this to happen you can vote for this on the next.exchange website by



1. Signing up to the website using either
a) My personal affiliate link https://next.exchange/?ref=ODg0NTU2NzUzOQ
b) Navigating to https://next.exchange and signing up there directly.

2. Navigate to https://nextexchange.featureupvote.com/suggestions/3384/biblepay-bbp
Upvote the suggestion, and it helps if you leave a positive comment.

Thanks

I upvoted BiblePay (BBP) and left a comment.

So how does the update to 1.0.7.9 technically work? Since it is mandatory, I thought this would mean it has some effect on the blockchain. But you said there wouldn't be a certain block, so it hasn't? That is a bit confusing, how is it mandatory then? For example the botnet could just stay on the old version and keep on mining.

On another note: just as a tip to people with more powerful machines (Ryzen, DualXeon etc.): try going solo for some days and test your luck. I have one of my Dual-Xeons (actually my weakest one...) on solo mining for maybe 5 days now (just updated to 79) and it already found 2 blocks (overall more than 10k BBP per week). Of course this could be pure luck, but it definitely is worth a shot!

Trying solo for a few days, see how it works.

how many hashps does your weakest dual xeon get?

It's a Dual E5520 (4C/8T@2.26GHz) and it says "hashps 4425" on "getmininginfo" (running on Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS without GUI etc. and "genproclimit=32").

I voted multiple times over the last few days and it worked fine without any registration.

Hello 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? Thank you

Hi,
is there any chance to run a CPU miner for BibblePay on a centos7 on PPC(powerpc) 6.4?

thank you
Daniel

almost certainly.. have you  compiled miners/wallets before on that platform?

Regarding the endless questions about the pool rewards, there is far less hashpower there than people think. Maybe only 1 - 2 MHs. So the total networkhashrate could be as low 5 MHs. Anyone with a bunch of powerful CPUs will be better off solo mining as 1. they won't be subsidising us little guys and 2. they won't be paying pool fees. The only way for the pool to get more blocks is to put more hash on it, and perhaps preferably in a few big chunks rather than 100s of little workers. Suggestions anyone?

Referring to the  big chunks vs little workers :  In my experience it has been untill now  still far more efficient to operate with 16 x 1 vCPU   instead of  one 16 threads CPU (e.g. Ryzen1700)

Yes, best to mine with vCores due to shares system, more boxes = more shares

Exactly. But the shares system is only on the pool, isn't it? Or does it apply to solo as well?
By the way, how much hashps does that Ryzen give with 16 threads?

hasps = 7 k.  I have just got the latest version of wallet and will try now to operate solo for a few days and see how much luck i will have...

wasnt it around  100k on 8/16 ryzen?

[oliwer21]

It usually sits at an HPS2 of 20-25k (so it's 1/4th as effective as my dual Xeon machines using 1/50th of the electrical power  ).

Great job on the Pi man!

I really do not know if there is anything to be happy, that many of miners are waste power and killing planet...

P.S.it's  good to see that nothing was changed in this matter since september...

[slovakia]

on pool disappeared 99% miners  

[dave_bbp]

on pool disappeared 99% miners  

Yes, pool seems to be down; I cannot even login anymore. Seems like a good time to update your workers.

[slovakia]

yes.... newest wallets working.....

updated to new version

[JigSawJazz]

Good morning Everybody,

I'm new here and have been enjoying putting my PC's to work for a great cause.

That being said waking up this morning & not being able to log into the pool was a bit frustrating...

Any ideas on why we are down and an ETA as to when we can expect us to be back in business?

Thanks again, everybody & god bless.

Jazz.

[capulo]

somebody just buy about 10 000 000 bbp for 80000$ , isnt this required amount for instant send security bug?

@capulo ... be helpful and post some evidence for this supposed 10-Million BBP / $80,000 transaction.

it was on c-cex, somebody spent few bitcoins to buy many times 700k bbp

[bible_pay]

All-

Relatively good news...

The instant send Signing process is finally fixed in 1.0.8.0 and requires one more leisure upgrade.

1.0.7.9 is OK for now as a miner or as a Sanctuary (its functions are OK).

1.0.8.0 will be required to successfully send IS funds and will be out this afternoon.

Sorry for the inability to test this- we just didn't have the 6 required distinct sanctuaries in testnet when we discovered the vulnerability.  We could have shut down instantsend with a spork, if we were already in prod at the exchanges, but since we were in the midst of an upgrade I decided to go this route.  I apologize for the hassles required in upgrading.

Regarding the dynamics of solving blocks on prior versions I will go into detail on that after church.

I just found out that the monthly budget decreases every time by exactly 1.5%:

Code:

getsuperblockbudget 24600
5789219.786313

getsuperblockbudget 30750
5702381.489514

getsuperblockbudget 36900
5616845.767143

getsuperblockbudget 43050
5532593.08065

...

This is an excellent deflationary feature, I like it. @Rob: I noticed that on the Proposals list page there is a fixed amount from the previous budget, so I guess it should be a dynamic value.

I was thinking: because we have 150 blocks/day, instead of 205, our monthly budget is actually every 41 days (6150 / 150) instead of every 30 days (6150 / 205) like it was meant to be. Since the block time issue seems to be non-trivial, maybe we could consider lowering the interval between superblocks from 6150 to 4500? (4500 / 150 = 30)

On the positive side of things, in the current situation where both exchanges are down, it's good that we still have about 33 days left until the next superblock, because right now it's difficult to determine BBP price for making proposals.

[capulo]

i think botnet is not problem, because this mandatory update was too quick to apply and many blocks are still solved outside of pool - so this must be solo mining.... huge solo mining
