BiblePay - 1.5.0.7
Mandatory Upgrade for Entire Network @184675 (March 24th, 2020)

- Add RandomX Mining to biblepaycore
- Add corporate whitebranding (for the future - this is dormant)
- Add DAC images and logos
- Merge Dash Mainnet changes up to Jan 2020 into Prod mandatory release
- RandomX starts at 184675
- Merge in changes to block database
- Move datastore to ~/.biblepay

** Note: This upgrade also requires new mining software after block 184675, with the switch to RandomX
** Note:  The wallet and data directory have been moved back to our original location (~/.biblepay) to cut down on confusion.  
** Our github location has been moved back to the original location (https://github.com/biblepay/biblepay)
** The new RandomX pool will come on-line approx. 1 day before our go live.  The address will be:  rx.biblepay.org
** Binaries have been released, and names and sha hash names have changed on biblepay.org.  Note, I believe we will not be able to release binaries for Rasberry pi or Arch.  You may be able to self compile those.  We are also limited to initially releasing 64 bit binaries for Windows and Linux.  (NOTE:  This is not because we are lazy or don't care about 32 bit, it's because both MIP and I receive errors in the randomx compile process for the 32bit processors.  We believe RX may not work on 32bit, therefore we must delay 32bit until we do more research.)  Please provide feedback to us if you find a binary is missing or does not work.

** Solution if your miner crashes when mining randomX **
Create a batch file on windows with the following
Code: [Select]
:miningloop
xmrig.exe -o rx.biblepay.org:3001 -u bbpaddress -p moneroaddress --threads=8
goto miningloop

Where do people download the bbp xmrig software again?

https://github.com/biblepay/xmrig/tree/master/binaries

Is this the best location?

Yeah normally i just download directly from github, all about your taste i guess. Directly from pool page also a option.

I am using port 3001 on rx.biblepay.org - the block height says 2062258

Height should be 184675. Am I mining on the correct chain? That block height looks awfully high, like it is testnet chain or something...

I haven't tried xmrig in a long time, so I could be mistaken too.

As we covered in testnet we display the randomX height there and when you solve BBP shares then we pass through BBP height and bbp diff.

So that part is A-OK.

** Sanctuary and Chainlocks Bulletin for block 187,000 **


Now that RandomX is stable and our difficulty has surpassed 1.0, we are planning to enable Chain Locks.  This is an exciting moment for Biblepay.

Realize that we are one of the few coins that exist that have chainlocks in Production (Other than Dash, who created it).

And, I believe we are the first Bitcoin based coin to have RandomX.  

In preparation for this, anyone who has a sanctuary, could you please ensure it is up and running?  As, once we enable Chain Locks, we move into strict mode meaning the Sanctuaries will be POSE banned and not paid if they do not respond to quorum requests.  Obviously we want to have a smooth cutover.

Lets shoot for block 187,000.


Update:

We have enabled Spork 17 (Deterministic sanctuary quorums) at block 187,000.

All Sancs seem to be up and none have PoSE score.

I wonder if there is some way to spread these great adoptions (Chainlocks and RandomX) from the PR point of view, to improve Biblepay's project exposure. I don't think there are many coins out there with this level of innovation.

Also, it would be a good hit if our exchanges know about us enabling chainlocks and reduce the number of deposit confirmations. Many investors in exchanges score coins better if they see lower confirmation numbers.
