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

[sunk818]

I remember a while ago Rob promised not to dump huge amounts but spread them over some periods.  BBP is too weak so far to hold such blows

I've read Rob usually sells across 7 days to mitigate price drop. C-CEX is going on vacation tomorrow. So, you effectively have until today to finish the selling. Don't you think it is wise to sell BBP on the exchange before C-CEX goes on vacation for three months? What's the alternative, try your luck on a different exchange?

Can you explain how pre-funding charities work? Have you committed to sponsoring a set number of children for Compassion and/or other charities? If so, does this number stay static until you get to a six month surplus? What happens after then? You try to maintain a six month surplus and that's the target each month? Or do you plan on changing goals like funding up to a year, or adding more children? I think this is good governance and mitigating the fluctuations in BBP & BTC prices.

What's the plan if BBP or BTC price tanks and your six month buffer starts to dwindle? What's the worse case scenario? People work for free, and make best effort to support poor children?  Just trying to project what would have happened if we had a spike leading up to Jan 2018 and then a huge price crash for BTC.

We are about 60% prefunded (we are 850 orphan-months prepaid currently).  For compassion, the current plan is to not sponsor new orphans until we reach 1800 orphan months prepaid, then we can use all available superblock charity funds to expand the compassion presence that particular month and then go back to focusing on 6 month prepayment.

This buffer is rather large, so its not likely that a price shock will eat it up in one month.  But as far as worst case scenario, we would go into a mode where we pay as many as possible and we would notify compassion that we would like to scale 10 orphans for example off of our roster (IE terminate the relationship with 10).  This would be a very unfortunate circumstance and is not likely as we are in a growth phase (I see we gain a few CPIDs every day, etc).  The absolute worst case scenario would be if bitcoin for example crashes to 1000, and is banned in 70 countries, and becomes a fad, then of course we would wind down our relationship monthly in tandem with our market cap. 

But lets stay positive and continue doing God's work, and he will bless our project for being good stewards.

but wallet on ccex is down... so if it stays offline then all bbp stays there for 3 months...

I think it was down because of their internal maintenance; I skyped him this morning and he fixed it and I tested a withdraw today .

[bible_pay]

Small info: With the current problems, I stopped the payouts of purepool. I don't like the current instability, might create more problems.
There will also be no new shares for a block per user shown in the user statistics. BUT nothing is lost, the block shares for the users will be calculated later, when it all is stable again

Its just the instability on the single day when the superblocks cascade (or should I say, the following 24 hours).
What happens is there are lots of contextual checkblock entries in the log (due to our BL that says one cannot mine without magnitude).

All is well after that 24 hour period.

All we need to do is delete the bloated log on that day : rm debug.log every few hours.  Obviously I will be planning on fixing this for our June mandatory upgrade.

It was a coincidence the pool went down the same day but its been reset.

[bible_pay]

Really nice day for BBP. Huge dump, c-cex almost closed, broken wallet and southxchange bbp wallet offline. What is coming next for BBP?  

Its up to you to delete your own debug logs.  The wallet isn't broken, its 'user error' , and thesnat: try to have a more positive attitude as we are a Christian community (not a Satanic community).

very dangerous= this coin is independent only on 1 guy    why?

"independent"? Sounds like you used the wrong word.

But: Every small coin has this problem, a core developer who is responsible for a lot of work. It is true that we need for experienced blockchain developers to be a "mature" coin, but it is still a quite young coin, with a lot of special technology. So it takes more time to get other people involved.

And as said before: If you think you can improve the current situation, do it.

Right, and its not like we havent already attracted experienced developers in only 6 months.  Someone posted leaked our bio page, check it out.  We already have MIP working on the iPhone, Lich working on biblepay-central and Bhavani working on proposals,  I don't get the logic that we arent creating a continuity plan.  Luke and I are working on the biblepay trust for decentralizing the charities.

Its really just nonsense fud coming from an individual who doesnt have the Holy Spirit.  I think someone who mines with stolen electricity should be mining potcoin.

I dumped the 7 million all at once because I wanted to withdraw it before the vacation started.

I was going to split it up into 2 days, but during the last hour some mystery buyer came in with an order for 1.5 million BBP, so I dumped all of it at once.

For the most part, we will try to spread it out, especially if the funds look tight, but in this case we only needed 2btc and the sales were for 2.03, so it all worked out in one session.

My wallet (1.0.2.2) didn't open and the loading window disappeared without any notice after ~5 minutes, repeatedly.

Then I installed 1.0.2.4 and I get

a fatal error occurred. BiblePay can no longer continue safely and will quit.

I tried deleting everything but my wallet.dat, I tried using an "empty" wallet.dat and reinstalling.

I can open my wallet, it asks for the PODC password, and after a while it crashes with above error message.

Debug:

Sorry Ive been away everyone!
I sadly got banned from Bitcointalk for a few days... and some of my posts in the Altcoin Mining section were removed.

Wallet Crash wise, Id advise everyone having issues to Clean and Reindex their wallets:
https://www.reddit.com/r/BiblePay/comments/7nmvm8/how_to_update_clean_wallets/
and also delete debug.log file if it is large

Windows:
- Open File Explorer: %appdata%/BiblePayCore
- Delete blocks and chainstate folders
- Delete banlist, fee_estimates, governance, mncache, netfulfiled and peers .dat files
- Delete debug.log
- In Wallet do Tools >> Wallet Repair >> Rebuild index

Linux:

Code:

cd ~/.biblepaycore
rm blocks -R
rm chainstate -R
rm banlist.dat fee_estimates.dat governance.dat mncache.dat mnpayments.dat netfulfilled.dat peers.dat
rm debug.log

cd /home/YOURUSERNAME/biblepay/src
./biblepayd -daemon -reindex

=

Also use getblockchash command to check if you are on same chain as others:

GUI: Tools >> Debug Console >>> getblockhash 49574

Command Line: ./biblepay-cli getblockhash 49574

Code:

getblockhash 49574
073ed34c7a635e23ea58b96bebc28b277dce114ee5b1f1226c1dc0aea3c07bed

Does this match what others are seeing?

Block Explorer wise, we have 3 explorers that I am aware of:

Lich: https://explorer.biblepay-central.org/
Togo: http://explorer.biblepay.org:3001/

Same on purepools wallet.

Hi all,

I have a problem with my wallet, it reports wrong balance. When I execute listtransactions command, I can see one "receive" transaction, which shows 0 confirmations. Later on I figured out that this transaction info is also missing blockhash, blockindex and blocktime fields.

There are some transactions after this one, and they are shown properly (with over a hundred confirmations at the moment).
I have viewed my address on online biblepay explorer, and can see the transaction I'm having problems with normaly, same as all the other transactions and with lots of confirmations, and it shows propper balance of this address.
I have tried (multiple times), to delete all the files in .biblepaycore folder except wallet.dat, client resyncs after that but still no luck. Transaction has 0 confirmations and my wallet is showing improper balance, not allowing me to send those coins.

Does somebody have an idea what might be the issue?

This what I did to fix similar wallet issue I discovered today:
1) stop wallet
2) delete all files in .biblepaycore except for wallet.dat  (including hidden .xxx folders and copied biblepay.conf aside)
3) start wallet

After wallet showed non correct amount - I restart and it was showing the correct amount.

So I needed two restarts after cleaning folder.

I actually tried that, and still no luck.

So I was actually sending coins from one wallet to the other wallet, and now I can see that the transaction is unconfirmed in both wallets, so I have coins stuck in a transaction, can't cancel the transaction, but also it won't show as confirmed (despite showing as confirmed on explorer.biblepay.org)

Strange, In the past Ive heard of the "-zapwallettxes" parameter,
"removes all wallet transactions that are not in the blockchain. It can remove "stuck" transactions"
https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/45988/how-do-you-apply-zapwallettxes-on-windows

I have a PODC Update transaction that is unconfirmed and the coins are missing, so I may be testing it in a minute

UPDATE: It worked! My unconfirmed transaction was removed and my coins are back

Thank you all for trying to help.
So I just left both of the wallets running at the same time, and now everything is resolved. I bave no idea what happened.

Cheers!

Really nice day for BBP. Huge dump, c-cex almost closed, broken wallet and southxchange bbp wallet offline. What is coming next for BBP?  

Its up to you to delete your own debug logs.  The wallet isn't broken, its 'user error' , and thesnat: try to have a more positive attitude as we are a Christian community (not a Satanic community).

The wallet creating an issue for the user is not specifically "user error"

As for the attitude, please lead the way.  I've been trying to be helpful and answer questions, i'm only human.

"Rescan Blockchain Files" (or -rescan parameter) worked for me (although the orphan is still listed, my balance is correct).

Block Explorer wise, we have 3 explorers that I am aware of:

Lich: https://explorer.biblepay-central.org/
Togo: http://explorer.biblepay.org:3001/
Nox: https://explorebiblepay.com/

Sorry to hear that Togo! I wondered why you had switched over to forum messaging...but I just posted the original .docx files over there for anyone who wants them, and would invite subsequent edits from any and all with something to contribute.

As for the block explorers, yup! I think it is great having 3. Considering some of the issues with Iquidus, it feels like 2 of us are generally up, at least Yours is the easiest to hit via API, since you are the only one without https, which might have something to do with the additional load on yours? Just a thought.

Speaking of which, I posted a few days ago with the monitoring script I use against the index.pid file - but that might have been during your "absence" - let me know if you have trouble finding it.

On some QT wallets, you can "Abandon transaction" from the sending wallet if you right click on the transaction. I think it may around version 0.13 Bitcoin, so I am not sure if BiblePay QT wallet has this feature.

[sunk818]

I got another PoDC payment at 2:05 and now again at 17:41. 15 hour difference. Looks like BBP day was shortened today. Maybe due to PoW difficulty or lack of PoDC payment prior?
