*** FIRST MONTH OF BBP + XMR ORPHAN-CHARITY  LIQUIDATION REPORT ***


We had a great starting month - For April 2020 we raised:
Miningpool.fun - .132 XMR
Foundation.biblepay.org - 1.95 XMR (this includes the funds raised from rx.biblepay.org while it existed)
=================================
TOTAL RAISED:  2.082 or $135.65

EXPENSE:  Cameroon-One will receive 2.082 XMR today.


Cameroon-One is now accepting XMR.  Their charity address is: 86dLi8C8iQT8EvLw3nLM5N9snaKVmBrdvccmgW7KYchXC7oz5cGoV7iQ6kGR6f8N3DbMs49xyxf718NtCnEnWecjKgWLBrx

We will be transferring this today to cameroon-one (when it matures).

Congratulations to everyone who helped orphan-charity!

NOTE:  Accountability.biblepay.org is being updated now with these two entries - and going forward, we will have a revenue entry each month for each pool, and an expense entry for each charity expense.

re: xmrig - That is brilliant move if you can pull it off!

I think it can be done at a 95% level - which would still be worth it from our code-merging and maintenance levels for the future (for xmrig).
We will still need to maintain the custom branch though for the final blakehash.  (As that prevents preimage attacks, and keeps biblepays blocks more valuable).

But I still need to test it, working on that today hopefully.

Everyone else:
This thread isn't ready yet because we need to merge in Antonios changes too.

Archived Proposals / Re: [Marcus_Antonius] Russian and Ukranian Bible translations for BiblePay

« on: April 30, 2020, 09:25:40 PM »

Greetings!
I would like to introduce to all the Russian and Ukrainian Bible translations for BiblePay! I will be very happy if speakers of these languages can read the Bible in their own language! 

The translation and editing process took more than 68 hours.

The requested amount is 1M BBP.

For Rob: The text of the translations is not changed, but the numbering of some books and texts (for example, the book of Psalms) does not coincide with those in the original translation, because it is brought into line with those of the King James Bible. The total number of lines in each translation corresponds to that in the translation of King James and amounts to 31102 lines.

God bless you!

Sorry for the delay (I wasnt watching for new forum threads) but now I am watching this thread.

So this is very impressive, thanks Marcus and - God bless you too.

It looks like you did a complete translation like we did from CNV (but, I assume the KJV was not readily available so you had to do a lot of work by hand!).

Im looking at the Russian translation now:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Marcus-Antonio/biblepay/master/src/rst.cpp

So, I assume you made it so they can choose to read in RST somehow.

The great news is now that we have RandomX, I believe we can safely merge this into testnet.

Ill try to move this in tomorrow.

Yes, we should have a dropdown so we can choose:  EN, CNV, RST (and whatever the Ukraine is also)!

This is very helpful because I can see as we near Daniels 70th week, those that are left behind in the trib, Or those that are persecuted might end up having the internet shut off and the bibles taken from them.  This is a very important step to having an extra bible available to people in strange places, etc.

Thank you - brother Marcus!

EDIT:  I see we already have a drop-down on our Bible viewer page (EN | CNV).  Sweet.  I will ensure this works with the two new translations after merging into testnet!


So the only downside with more big classes is we will increase our compile time, but for God, anything is worth the effort to serve HIM!  Praise God.  Besides we require a pretty big memory footprint now with RX (so raspberry pi-s are probably out of this game anyway at this point).

Archived Proposals / Approve Budget Changes

« on: April 30, 2020, 09:17:07 PM »

In the first month of RandomX mining (April 2020), we raised approx. 1.90 XMR.
Due to the success levels of RX, I propose the following changes to our reward structure for each heat mined block:

- Retire POOM as of June 2020 (remove listchildren, cancelsponsorship, sponsorchild)
- Free up the daily GSC budget spent for POOM (240K per day, 35% of the GSC budget)
- Allocate this 240K per day into the heat mining reward (raising the heat mined reward from 2400BBP to ~3500bbp)
- Do not increase the Sanctuary reward (instead maximize the RX reward)

Part II (DWS - Dynamic Whale Staking):

I feel that DWS was very successful, and it was grabbed relatively quickly - even with the last adjustment.  I feel it gives us a fighting chance to allow outsiders to buy up the SX free coins.

I propose these changes:
- Double the DWS available emission level, so more burns will be available
- Increase our deflation rate to pay for the new level
Specifically, we would change the GetAnnualDwsReward level from .325 to .64, then we would increase our deflation level in GetBlockSubsidy.

TestNet Discussion Archive / June 2020 BiblePay Mandatory Upgrade - TestNet

« on: April 30, 2020, 05:16:11 PM »

June 2020 Release


Welcome to the Biblepay June 2020 Testnet Testing thread.


In this thread we will be testing:


- 'exec price' : XMR price has been added
- Sanctuary Voting :
     (This is the ability for a sanctuary to vote on a spork, and if the Vote outcome is a PASS, the spork will go into effect.  If it is a FAIL we need to see this spork fail to enter into the chain).

- Anti-Censorship-Feature (ACF)  - Although I went through the pain of coding this, releasing it and testing it, I have decided that (as I believe we as a community) will be better off with BiblePay unchained for this use case (as it is safer and does not risk bloating the governance system and the nodes).  So for safetey reasons, I have removed this and now am planning on releasing the design for Unchained.  (This is a sidechain that holds documents off-chain).

- Removing "BiblePay-Evolution" from the windows wallet and fixing the default program directory name (it is still Evolution).  This should go back to BiblePay.  Check to see if the windows installer wizard is correct.

- Test a VendorList change (Charity monero addresses in a semicolon delimited list) and a PoolList change (allowable RX pools).

- Remove POOM from the wallet (remove poom listchildren, poom pay).  Move POOM payment budget from GSC to Heat mined blocks.  Ensure these heat payments go to the heat side and not to the sanctuary.  I believe POOM causes the GSC budget to drop by 240K per day, and the mined block subsidy to rise by 1200~, and the sanc payment should stay the same.

- Any Dash changes that occurred between Jan 1,2020 and March 30th?  Ask MIP?  MIP has made me aware we need a little more time to move up to .15, because Dash has changed 1800 files!  So lets shoot for releasing .15 in September.

- The ability for a RandomX hash to be mined in a more RX compatible way (check to see if foundation.biblepay can receive a blakehash as Solution #1) (This is just a reminder note that may result in a code change in the core wallet if this streamlines the xmrig code to be 100% compatible with the xmrig branch), Checking this.  (This basically frees us from maintaining a special version of xmrig).

->  Great news, I tested pure merge-mining using the plain vanilla xmrig, and it worked.  The changes are in this version already.

- Test Marcus Antonios Russian and Ukrainian Bible viewer(s)

TestNet Discussion Archive / Re: The BiblePay Foundation Web Site - BETA TESTING

« on: April 30, 2020, 04:50:02 PM »

So i have been testing new foundation website a bit.

The pool part feels great, easy to read new blocks in numeric order, big thumbs up there! The vardiff feels easy and good aswell not having to change  ports manually can just copy paste pool url easy peasy.

The bible verses quiz feels like a cool addition.  I like the idea of it for sure, thats coming from me that usually really rarely reads the bible and studying it.

I have also tested the prayer request section and it looks strait forward, easy to post prayer request.

Overall i think you have done a great job.

Thanks!

On a side note, being cooped up the in the house I set up a podium here to be a home preacher and I've been using this page for the last few Sundays:

http://foundation.biblepay.org/Illustrations

I like the way FreeBibleImages displays on the screen (with the HTML overlaid on each slide).  Its working as a pretty good weekly guide for teaching my 7 year old the bible.

Archived Proposals / Re: Would you use a Fractional Sanctuary Investment Service?

« on: April 30, 2020, 02:32:46 PM »

The fractional sanctuary is working great. I saw the percentages change a little from 38% to 35% so I'm glad people are finding the service useful. I sure do!

Thanks, yes, Im pleased that 15-20 people already found it, without much PR.  I did paste a few PR tweets on southxchange to promote it, but I doubt it made much of a difference.

I do feel like I should add a New User Bonus Percentage to drive new traffic into fractional sancs until our price breaches 10 satoshi again.

Ill do that as soon as time permits.

Continuity plan is well thought out. I was concerned about the POOM to RandomX migration, but your generosity takes care of that until the end of the calendar year. Hopefully, by then, RandomX earnings will be able to support the orphans.

Thanks. 

I'm merging the code in Testnet this week, and, hopefully we will be able to open up testnet by Friday so we can test June's changes.

If anyone has any concerns with BiblePay that you feel need to be in June let us know, or if you have any great ideas, we can add them to our wishlist or todolist.

No problem.

Just figured i could do some feedback.

Unfortunately I cant find this issue in the log and my miner hasnt encountered it yet;
I made a change on the server to transmit its json reply slightly differently;
Lets see if it happens again; if it does could you please give me your bbp address and Ill try to add a more specific piece of logging for that so we can trap it.

It looks normal now , last it happened was 15 minutes ago , it happened on and off for around 10 minutes.

I heard a dude on discord yesterday also said it happened  for him just one message.

He also had ryzen cpu maybe something with amd cpus.

Looking at the backlog for xmrig i dont see any of these messages during the superblock.

Ok thanks, that helps a lot, as it sounds like it has nothing to do with the size of the block, it sounds more like a malformed message but, thats kind of strange because the messages are all the same length.

I think I will be able to add a log that shows this later today then we can figure it out.

Right now Im getting some database data for Song to start another mining pool.  So ill post again as soon as I get some type of logging in there.
