Guys, Yobit haven't reacted/responded to paid premium add coin request for almost three weeks (although BBP should have been added in 4-7 days since the request) so I canceled this effort with Yobit as I don't consider this exchange useful and trustworthy anymore. Let's look elsewhere.

seems like BiblePay crashes randomly every few weeks,
(Anyone know how I can automate it to restart Biblepay if BiblePay crashes and to delete the explorer/tmp/index.pid file as well?)

This is a bit "rough" in that I should have parameterized the working directory, or at least made it a variable, but here you go:

#!/bin/bash
fname="/home/biblepay/explorer/tmp/index.pid"
if [[ -f "$fname" ]];
then
        pid=$(</home/biblepay/explorer/tmp/index.pid)
        echo $pid
        ps -p $pid > /dev/null
        r=$?
        echo $r
        if [ $r -eq 0 ]; then
                exit 1
        else
                rm $fname
        fi
fi


I added this to crontab to run periodically. In cases where the index.pid is still there but the process is gone, it simply removes the index.pid file. Hope this helps.

I dont know bash at all (nor do I barely know any linux haha), but just to be sure I understand:

-f is checking if the file exists
index.pid is the indexing lock file with its process ID number inside of it
ps -p checks if the process is running
$? is the value of the last output that ran and since the previous value is going to dev/null, its the exit code status
"0 for successful executions and 1 or higher for failed executions."
and so if the process is still running, the bash script just exits, otherwise the process is done and the index.pid file gets removed

COOL!

So looks like the file doesnt need a .sh extension, if you have "#!/bin/bash" at the top then linux knows its a bash script
chmod +x to set it as executable

Also I successfully used nginx to forward nodejs port 3001 to port 80

Now I just need to figure out how to restart biblepayd if it crashes, systemd seemed a little complicated,
I may just use an infinite while loop bash script LOL

Have you considered using forever on biblepayd? Just like you can use "forever start bin/cluster" from your iquidus directory to keep the explorer running... I haven't tried that but I'd assume it would work. Just have to figure out pushing parameters to it. If you don't do that, then a crontab job that tries to kick it off periodically. If biblepayd is running the job will fail because it can't get a lock on the directory, I believe, so that would probably be a low risk option

Looks like you can put daemon=1 and txindex=1 in ~/.biblepaycore/biblepay.conf file
I think forever is nodejs only, I just tested using a crontab to run biblepayd every minute, and it works!

Sweet! I don't have any experience with forever and don't know nodejs very well (I work in a very different tech stack), but I'm glad you got it working with option #2

Hello,

I'm trying to withdraw from pool.biblepay.org but it responds the following.

Sorry, Invalid Destination Address (Code: 65002)

Is there any problem with the pool?

It also shows the same PCs as working and missing...

Thanks in advance

Its up now .

[togoshigekata]

New Block Explorer is up!

http://explorer.biblepay.org/

- upgraded from 2 CPU to 4 CPU
- setup nginx port 80 forwarding
- cron command to start BiblePay daemon every 1 minute
- cron command and bash script to restart indexing if its complete every 2 minutes

Thank you Licht and Noxpost for the help! and thank you Rob for the DNS update!

I posted all the notes publicly on the iquidus explore guide on Reddit:

With the next mandatory,  is there going to be another poll on the staking requirement?

Or is everyone happy with how things are currently?

I like how Sanctuaries + PoDC is locking up over 75% of our circulation. And the current stake seems to be working fine.

There is also the option for newbies to use the community developed PoDC pool

https://www.bbppool.com

I think it's still in beta

it looks that our option 20bbp/1rac was/is optimal

No everyone. But last poll showed that majority is happy. And its showing it was a great move in general. Its not possible and completely not good for the stability of the coin to have poll for the same thing more time in short time period. In my opinion staking system was good choice and Im happy we have it.

Of course the staking system is a wonderful choice mate

Staking @ 20BBP / RAC is good in general.

I would like to see an exception for small users / new comers up to 500 RAC maxi - where they would have to stake only 1 BBP
This would make it easy to get newcomers onboard.
The more users / supporters / followers we bring in - the better will be the prospects for BBP.

IMO: making multiple accts that have to stay below 500RAC is just not worth the effort - so would not be a workaround to avoid staking.

Just a note, people can mine on ARM mobile devices for no stake. Also, there is the option for people to use the community developed PoDC pool

I have not used it myself.

I think that the bbppool is a potentially awesome addition to our project It should give newcomers the ability to build up enough bbp so they can stake on their own without having to infest a lot of money from the get go.

This pool also releases me of the concerns I had with the 20BBP/RAC maybe being too high for newcomers. If it gets out of beta and proves to be fraud resistant, I think it could help us grow

[thesnat21]

Fair nuff, figured I'd ask the question

My concern with this pool is the 35% fee(was said to climb to 65% earlier, I hope this doesn't happen). but otherwise I agree its a good start.

[tomasarun]

Is it a coin for Marmons and for some sectarians?

I would like to see verifiable openness in the way these fees are being used. In the beginning I can imagine that most of the fees will be used to grow the stake (the pool needs to stake a lot of BBP in order to be able to work). Also, of course, some fees go to development, maintenance and 'profit' (and some of the fees will be used to repay people who have seeded the BBP needed for starting up). Besides that I would like to see excess BBP being used in lines with the spirit of BiblePay, preferably being sent to the orphan-wallet.

The high fees are needed though, because I think not having high fees will make it easier for botnets to find their way to our network.

Having said that, I see the pool as an experimental thing, but I'm curious what the future will bring
