Hi Rob,

Sorry, I didn't see this until now.

Thanks for acknowleding my post.

Yes, you understand what I'm saying.  It's up to you of course.  Its a type of design philosophy, UX as they say these days. 

User Experience (UX) is a big thing today in programming. 

I am upgrading to the wallet that was just released and will get it synced.

Sounds good.
You can always try to create an altar on the new version; and I look forward to our UX project.

Anyone who wants to test RDP, lets continue testing this feature:

https://wiki.biblepay.org/RDP

The feature is part of the MainNet wallet.

Please launch it from there and comment here.

The new wallet comes with BiblePay RDP, a feature that allows you to Remote Desktop (RDP) from one machine to another through a sanctuary.

You can read about it here:

https://wiki.biblepay.org/RDP

Lets talk about it in the TestNet thread, here:

BIBLEPAY v0.21.3
Mandatory Upgrade

For entire network including Sancs
Cutover Height: 526500
Release URL:
https://github.com/biblepay/biblepay/releases/tag/v0.21.3
https://www.biblepay.org/wallet/
Source code:
https://github.com/biblepay/biblepay/
Self build guide:
https://github.com/biblepay/biblepay/blob/master/BuildBiblePay.txt


Note: Because we missed a few critical versions of Dash over the last year and the format of the Sanctuary record has changed, we will need to recreate our sancs.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

To get a safe start, I have recreated 3 of my sancs already and therefore the LLMQ's will be forming over the next 24 hours (that will allow instantsend and chainlocks to re-enable ~Aug 18th or so).

IMPORTANT:  Once you upgrade, be sure to restart with -reindex=1 if you have any trouble syncing to the latest block height.
Reference hash and height:
getblockhash 524382
hash: 000005b1821c81863ff01d949aa6efe35d03d72e6bea18fb1280ca722d4f7bb4

Block Explorer (Chainz) has upgraded:
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/bbp/


Good luck, and God Bless You.

PS As usual, you can create an altar, sanc or temple to become a sanctuary miner (and this puts your latent BBP to use giving you earnings).

Looks like testing passed.

Thanks to all who helped test the wallet.

So I created a Temple, and received payment and it is working as intended.
In my prior wave I created an altar and it is also receiving the correct amounts.

Wallet testing is coming to a close.

However I have a really positive surprise for this release that Im on the final stretch on.
We have something additional called BiblePay Extensions.
This menu option gets included with the new EXE, and it allows our development team to release BBP "Modules" or extensions that extend the code base.
These get upgraded automatically when versions change (due to bugs found in the extensions and feature releases in the extensions).

The first actual extension or use case is RDP.  This allows you to RDP from your work to your BBP machine or your BBP machine to work etc (actually its BBP machine to BBP machine).
One real use case for the BBP network to send the traffic through a sanctuary and back to your desktop.
The traffic is encrypted and private and the sanctuary cannot see it either because of the encryption and the keys.
It uses the BBP keypair as an "RDP address" to connect to etc.

Ill get this final leg finished and let you all know when we can test RDP 1.0 and BBP Extensions.

Yep it seems to be working as intended.

I'm good my friend, i hope you are well too.
Heh Bro, thanks for the confirmation.
Im glad you got it.  This wallet seems to be pretty solid.  I sent myself tx's over the last 2 weeks and they all got IX'd and chainlocks is still up.
Must have been an inherent problem in the old code base with both of those things as chainlocks never worked correctly in the old wallet.
So Im very happy about that, that this will be a great blessing for us when we go live.

Hi Rob,

I was thinking about Biblepay today and thought I would share some experience I have being in the space since 2016.

Some coins I notiiced were coins by software guys for other software guys.  It was very hard to keep up with the wallet, things were explained as cryptically as possible, using a lot of private jargon and the coins ended up not having very big teams.

Other coins were created by software developers for the general public and those coins tended to do better.

I still have a BBP balance and booted up the wallet to sync, and just wanted to share that with you.

I don't mind not getting anything from running the wallet since staking has been taken away (this is a tangent to my point, maybe it's not taken away, maybe it's called something else, etc.).  But like probably most supporters, there are
a lot of things I can do for the Lord and his people.  I went to the Jesus march in downtown Seattle yesterday.  Only two people in my church went, etc. etc.

I want to support Biblepay, but if it's going to take a big learning curve to use, not sure how much I am going to want to use it as life is complicated enough.

Hi CB,

Ok, I think I understand your point.  Your point is that there is going to be low adoption if it requires extremely high technical details to set the wallet to earn rewards.
I think what has happened is over time as we kept changing, we had releases where it was easy at one point but that got replaced by something new, and it became hard again.  Every time we release a new wallet the features that made it easy have been removed again.  It is certainly possible to make an "Easy Altar" feature.

The summarized answer is:
- We do still have rewards for small, mid, and large wallets.  They are altars, sancs and temples.  (All pay the same %s, but are different size collaterals).
- It would be beneficial for us to make an Easy Altar feature.
- Our next wallet is due out within 30 days, and then we have a base that we can add the feature into.

If this sounds right let me know and when the next core wallet is released we can work together in testnet to making something that is easy to set up for a newbie?

Hi Rob,

my testnet address is yZ4LmikQgzq5q1sc9SRsyQ4JeKDw4YCSme, sorry had a busy weekend missed your message.
Hi Bro Budinga,

Sent 525K to your testnet.  If you want to make sure it went via instantsend just look for the blue lightning bolt symbol.  Also you can check the Info tab of the wallet and look for a chainlock hash on the current block.

I hope you are doing good.

Hello,

I have tested two testnet governance proposals at height 216685.

One for 200K and one for 777K.
Test results: SUCCESS
If you want to see them you can browse in "TESTNET" mode in unchained, and also to see the payment you can do
getblockhash 216685, getblock _hash, note the TX #0 in the coinbase block (copy it), getrawtransaction _txid 0, and look for the two tx's and you will see a vout for 200K and vout for 777K.

Next step is to test creation of a temple and an altar, and then we can verify the rewards for those two node types.
Will be back on after my next two sancs are online.

I've got pretty good news for BiblePay, and its something that is actually exciting.  Something decentralized.  Something that adds a lot of value to BBP that we can actually do.  All glory to God.

It's so good in fact, I'm not going to explain what it is until its released, because I don't want the technology to be stolen by another block chain. 
I declare that BiblePay will Live and Not die.  Pray that for BiblePay, please.

In the mean time while our development team finishes this secret project, would you please pray for God to open a door to list BiblePay on a new exchange?  This is one thing that we desperately need.  An exchange that is above our expectations, with a large user base.  One with a lot of liquidity so when we get back to sponsoring more than 300+ orphans, we can liquidate without moving the market much.  One that can handle inflows from India and China and liquidations from US to foreign projects.  Etc.  Please pray for that miraculous outcome.

I entered two governance proposals, and they went in successfully into the new wallet.
I voted Yes on these first two, from three sancs:

Will let everyone know if it pays after the next gov block.

Now I need to create a Temple and an altar, and verify the payments are right on all 3 flavors of sancs.

Hi Rob,

its working for me now fully synced. Good work.
Thanks bro Budinga.

Alright, I will post a little list of the final things we need to test and start on those.

One is creating a testnet proposal, and verifying the wallet votes on it and pays it.

Ill post as soon as one is created in testnet.

PS If you want to give me your testnet address, Ill send you some BBP so you can see if instand send works.
