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

From this you could actually have less than 1 per bbp for large quantities since its >= 4%

Sorry, my minimum example was wrong. So, 4% is the minimum you need to stake? 1 RAC -> 4 BBP?

Nope...  not that easy

Because of the % rule..
5 rac can get away with 4 bbp, anything less needs minimum 1-1

 (5 * 20) * .04 = 4.  
(rac * 20) * .04(min pct for reward) = min BBP to stake.
see the datatable below.

rac	min bbp
1	0.8
2	1.6
3	2.4
4	3.2
5	4
6	4.8
7	5.6
8	6.4
9	7.2
10	8

How do you reflect that correctly in : http://wiki.biblepay.org/Distributed_Computing -- I just changed it to <4% is no reward... but it seems I am wrong.

I don't know about you, but a simpler formula would help everyone understand. It is already a complicated structure to deal with to get PoDC and PoW (PoBH) payouts.

I put the formula on the wiki (had to revise the initial) that will tell you what your % is, along with the chart.

Anything below 4% is 0%

check the "RAC - Recent Account Credit" section

It is said that one great coder is 10x as good as a mediocre one.

Biblepay follows the benevolent dictator model (1 main dev) which generally leads to some of the best projects (software development).

One of the main reasons that I've always supported this project is because I believe in Rob's abilities and vision. Because at this point we have only one main dev, we have had the ability to be swift in our development (something that the past months also have shown).

Having said that, I think that in the long term we need more developers that have understanding of our source-code (which I think Bhavani is working on at the moment?). So that, should Rob disappear for whatever reason, the coin will keep it's vitality.

Yeah, the good and the bad of one dev is a good dev is better than two decent devs but you are locked into one ideal.  That said, I agree, Rob has been tremendous and I don't think we'd be anywhere close to where we are if not for his skill and vision.   I'd wager we'd be dying under the weight of a botnet by now with our value crushed if not for the change to PoDC.  The code needs some cleaning up and I hope that is what Bhavani is working on, since there some conditional statements that need to be commented out or removed for clarity, that were part of the transition from one mandatory to another.

1) I was just replying to the fact that there was no speculation. It wasn't a random guy who "quit" BiblePay and dumped all his coins. It was just Rob like every month selling the coins to pay the bill for Compassion and he did it quickly before CCEX closes. That's all.

2) Well that's why money now is worth more than money tmr. People who can fund their mining for a few months without selling coins won't be forced to sell them (at a lowered price) to fund their mining and will be able to wait to sell them at a better price (hopefully). For now it probably worked for them as it looked like BBP was 10 satoshi less than a year ago and is now 30-50. Ofc past performances are no indicators for future performances but hey...can't make money if you're not willing to take risks.

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 think he's been pretty good about that but with the upcoming loss of C-Cex for 3 months, I don't think he could take the risk and just had to accept the consequences.  That said, the price has pretty much rebounded in less than a day and that is a good indication of a healthy market (although it certainly could be better).  Getting this round of coins sold gives time for Rob or whomever to see how the other markets will absorb larger portions.

Thanks for the compliments on part 1 of the post.

However, I don't think you are correct on part 2.  Conditional statements that are in the code from mandatory to mandatory are generally permanent, because the blockchain must sync from zero.  Take a look at doge if you want an example of a lot of conditions that were added as business logic was added.  These can only be removed if you decide to fork the coin and remove all prior business logic (IE break backwards compatibility).  The statements are not intended to be easy for you to understand - they are intended to allow the blockchain to sync from zero with every prior pieces of business logic that existed over time.

So far it's working great for me...  Excellent work MIP!

I think if QIEX can made inroads into the Asian market that would be great. The people there are wonderful to deal with, and very charitable.

Because at this point we have only one main dev, we have had the ability to be swift in our development (something that the past months also have shown).

I think standard practice for most altcoins is one main dev. There's a handful that may have more than one dev, but that is atypical. Some altcoins don't even have a dedicated dev. They are primarily in it for the marketing angle and the dev is contract to get the QT wallet up to date. We are blessed to have such a competent dev -- one that has both technical, business, and strategy acumen. It is rare to find someone who has all three.

What is LoadBlockIndexGuts? Taking a long time with the blockchain? Is it validating the transactions?

This seems to happen on restart of biblepayd --daemon

Thanks for sending the 5 BBP for testing. Give me your address, and I'll try to send it back. Maybe you have a QR code?

And just a reminder:

From May, 31 till approximately August, 31 we will switch to "limited service" mode for summer vacations.

We will: provide trading service, API trading service, C-CEX codes creation and redeeming, fiat deposits and withdrawals.
We will not: provide all cryptocoin and tokens deposits and withdrawals, support ticket service.

If you need your cryptocurrency to trade here or elsewhere during "limited service" period - please, deposit or withdraw it before vacation start date. Please, do not send any deposits during "limited service" period as they will not be posted to balances.

We will resume normal service after August, 31. We may resume normal service earlier. We may serve tickets during vacation period but we do not take obligation to do that.

Happy summer!

Hi all. One of the Slovak guys messaged me with an issue he is having that I couldn't help with. Perhaps someone can give mesome ideas to help?

Basically:

1. On a Windows server, same machine as Linux boxes he owns, all his cpu stats are 100% on Rosetta. Or in other words, all of his processing power is BOINC-ing.
2. On Linux server, with WCG exactly the same, all cpu stats are 100%.
3. On Linux server, with Rosetta, some cpu cores are 100%, others are much lower.

He is on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
So for some reason Rosetta on Linux is not downloading enough tasks for his machine?


He tried reinstalling and restarting server but no luck.
Any suggestions?

Thanks

What is the RAM utilization on the Linux server? Rosetta is much more RAM demanding, it may be throttling the number of concurrent tasks because of the RAM limit.

Nice suggestion, I forgot about that.
I checked and there is still 7Gb RAM free.
Is it just a case of wait for Rosetta to send more tasks?

The easiest thing to solve this is by checking this machine with the BOINC manager GUI. There you have all the settings, stats etc. Maybe for some reason it is not set to 100% CPU time and 100% CPU cores utilization. Or there are not enough tasks.

One thing that happened to me from time to time (resulting in exactly the same situation that not all cores are fully utilized) is that one or more Rosetta tasks were stuck. BOINC then keeps them forever in "running" mode although nothing happens. You can easiliy see this (again with the BOINC manager) by sorting the tasks for "elapsed" time. If there is a job that took many hours or even days, just abort it and everything should be fine.

Does anyone have the link to the Linux QT wallet that they can post?  I tried following the instructions in the wiki but it says it can't find the QT wallet.

Thanks!
