OK thank. I made mine with cli commands and it looks like it worked and I even voted on it but it's not showing up in the pool.

Yeah, I voted on MIP's, but I still can't see yours... Don't know if it has anything to do with the cli-commands, I only know how to do it in the pool.

Did you also do it with cli-commands the previous time?

Archived Proposals / Re: Biblepay Charity Commission - Revised

« on: March 28, 2018, 08:58:44 AM »

I talked to Togo about it before, apparently everything has been sold. I just checked the address on the explorer and apparently it doesn't exist. I hope people aren't donating to it. But yeah I guess we can then get the fund address in the wallet and we can start posting it in our signatures.

Yeah, that would be a great idea.

I actually found the address (at least the one my wallet gives me):
http://explorer.biblepay.org:3001/address/BB2BwSbDCqCqNsfc7FgWFJn4sRgnUt4tsM

It's the same address on which the compassion.com superblock funds were deposited.

One of the main reasons for the commission is so that we have an address people can donate to.

The website is for posting the charity fund financial information and charity screening information as well as an intro to the charity commission and other related info.

Alright, yeah, the donation part sounds good, although I think you can already send BBP directly to the orphan address (just check the 'donate to foundation' box in the 'send' tab of the wallet). Or... It says 'foundation', so I'm not 100% sure where it goes. Maybe it's the pool address  Haha! That's exactly why the Charity Commissions BBP address sounds like something useful 

10-4 on the website thing. That sounds cool.

Alright everyone,

I had another video-chat with Habib yesterday. We would like to thank the Biblepay community for the trust, and hope not to disappoint you!

Habib is probably having his first presentation in about two weeks! Our first official Biblepay campaign tour!

I really hope that the website is up-and-running by that time...

Alright guys, thanks for trusting me.

All BBP was transacted to a paper wallet that is in a backuped safe location:
http://explorer.biblepay.org:3001/address/B612bu2jxWC8vo6MrPSgZXsJVzbQrETrBx

I'm willing to sell the BBP (approximately worth a sanctuary) directly for BTC, and else I'm going to keep it in the wallet until it's decided what we'll do with the funds.

Maybe I'm even going to ask for 1'550'001 BBP in the next superblock, so I'll have a complete Sanctuary for sale

Or maybe someone else can add a proposal for the next superblock, to spread some risks.

Until our current orphans are funded 6 months out, I'm pretty pessimistic on further commitments.  The well being of our currently sponsored children is too important to risk on trying to do a bit more good, when all it would take is a drop in price of BTC back to sub $3k levels to dramatically impact their lives.

Well, since this commission is in effect for the most part a buffer for events like you described (BTC in sub 3k levels), I don't share your pessimism completely.

Besides that, I think that this commission will add value to Biblepay, because it will create more validity for us (having a commission handling the scanning due-diligence on new charities). I think it's great PR.

I do think that until the orphans are funded 6 month out, we should - mostly - use any excess funds in the superblocks. They are excess because they weren't claimed with other proposals, so it's not like things like PR and IT are really missing out. Rob always waits until the last moment to create a proposal for excess funds, so there is plenty of time for others to make proposals.

So, I propose that "Donate all leftover budget to charity fund" should be something more like: "Donate part of the leftover budget to charity fund (until we reach a 6 month pre-payment for compassion), and after that, all of the leftover budget, until a certain threshold, and burn everything above that."

That was a longer sentence than I envisioned, haha!

I want this commission to be a buffer, and not potentially become a superpower, so I want it to own a lot, but not too much BBP. Also, from the investors point of view, this commission could become a 'whale' with the potential to crash the BBP-market, and burning coins will raise the value of the rest of the BBP.

Oh Mike, since I am on of the people working on the new website, could you explain more about the 'Charity tab on Biblepay website' thing?

Also got a payment today. And I also signed up another pool-unbanked-testaccount that also got payed.

Seems that not getting payed a few superblocks ago was just a one-off thing...

Is anyone else getting the message in Boinic that there is no work to do ?

Yeah, it seems like Rosetta@home has run out of work for the moment. You can check the server-status here:
https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/server_status.php

(It does say 'Tasks ready to send 18124'  on that page somewhere, but I don' t know what that means exactly.)

There is work trickling down, probably from workers who have passed the due-date. Can' t really find any news about this. Maybe they are adjusting the work. There was something similar going on with the Android tasks about two weeks ago.

Or maybe it' s because they can't handle the growth of Biblepay

Most interesting is that Breadwallet SPV thin client C library is shared between Android&iOS so even if we start with Android version, most of the non-GUI work will be already available for the iOS version.

Cool! If you're more comfortable with iOS, you could also start with that. I'm really looking forward to having a mobile wallet.

The pay ahead was in part from the extra "leftover" budget stuff.  Basically we agreed that instead of expanding the number of orphans sponsored, we should instead expand the months sponsored until we hit a certain point (I've said at least a year, others have said six months) on the chance that we might nosedive in value at some point or have some other major issue that would not permit us to pay all the premiums.

Meanwhile, I'd love to see us on Bittrex or Poloniex and think any effort to get on Yobit is wasted (they have had many issues in the past and are in my mind are better to not be on).

Yes, I'm aware that he is paying ahead the premiums, and I've always been a proponent of this I just wanted to show that Rob was doing exactly that, and that, because of that, there is also room for some budget to go getting us listed on a new exchange in my opinion. There is a lot more budget than before from this superblock on.

Yobit is indeed out of the question as far as I'm concerned. Some shady things going on there (also with implementing new coins).
