Well, I just realized that I stuck my foot in my mouth - as it were. I have been "watching" crypto prices on my mobile app - CoinCap. BBP has not changed the entire time I've had the app. I think that's because it is not represented on it. I was able to secure 300 BBP on SXchange from the faucet and realized its worth WAY more than what my app was saying.

Just for reference, the app states that BBP is $0.00016427, and has never been different. I just thought that the price had suddenly become VERY stable. Oh well - glad to find that the price has gone up! ($0.0004072 today!)

Well I think you were still correct though (even if we were not listed there), as we were stuck for a long time at 3 millisatoshi ever since I sold the BBP for the Pakistan Well project.  There was a 40MM or so sell wall right around that level that we finally broke loose of!  Its very nice to see BBP freely floating again, with some institutional interest, praise God.

Is a gitHub release page with Windows & MacOS binaries download difficult to setup? I think it would add more legitimacy to the project, although I have no idea how much work this involves. And would it improve the burden of having to update the biblepay web site?


@Togo - nice to see you. Was about to message you about reddit but here you pop up again.


@ Rob - We can stake Doge with BBP? I have some and wouldn't mind testing it out. I unfortunately sold all my BTC, DASH, and LTC on this latest bull run to pay for some educational expenses.


Peace brothers & sisters. May the Lord's shine on your souls brightly.

Yes, you can stake DOGE, and I believe we will also have ETHereum within 30 days, if all testing goes well.  To stake DOGE plz watch the video at the bottom of this page:
https://wiki.biblepay.org/UTXO_Mining

On github releases, Ill look into that -- I think we can add a release step for that:

EDIT: Sun-- are you referring to having these two binaries added to each mandatory release:
https://github.com/biblepay/biblepay/releases/tag/1.5.4.4
(I added windows to 1.5.4.4).  I will check with MIP on the dmg.

Thank you for all of your hard work Rob! Thank you everyone!

Hello Togo!  May your family and new baby be blessed with rich blessings.

"- accountability link in wallet needs to use foundation. instead of web.?":
-> Adding to the list right now

"- add "listutxostakes" command to UTXO mining guide?"
-> Definitely needs done as its essential!  I added this command to our wiki "https://wiki.biblepay.org/UTXO_Mining".

"- what is the status of automatic price mooning?"
-> APM is enabled in prod, but its got a new rule in it as of this last mandatory:
Our price suppression only kicks in (for 24 hours) If our price goes down from the last day.  If our price goes sideways or up, we emit coins.
Note to new users:  This means biblepay emits 90%~ less coins (to the randomx side) if our price decreases day-over-day (remember we are merged mined also, so you still receive XMR).

"- what is current and future block reward breakdown?"
->I edited the www.biblepay.org front page to reflect the UTXO/PODC percentages for this month.

Hello Rob.
I was thinking same as Sun on the github releases.
Atleast for the major operative systems and releases.  windows , linux x86,  mac.
simplifying for new users is nice even though i suppose most would download from biblepay.org but yeah.
Also would be sweet with the SHA-filehash so we can make sure its your legit uploads, like you have on homepage.
Have a good one.

Have i not commanded you?
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid;
do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God
will be with you wherever you go.

Yes thats a good idea too.  For mandatory releases, we can upload the mac dmg, the windows binary, and the linux binary, and the 'hash.txt' files into the release 'binaries' section.

Sure.    I uploaded the last set of binaries for 1.5.4.4 into the release.  On the next release lets add the hash files.

** EasyBBPStake Addendum **

I realize we need to edit the wiki guide for easybbpstake, but for now I would like to convey this information.

Today in an attempt to reproduce some of the issues users had, I tested easybbpstake on a new wallet.
If you follow this guide you should be able to stake your entire balance (or at least 99% of it):

- Open new wallet  (Ensure you are upgraded to 1.5.4.6+)
- Fund the wallet with bbp
- Go to User Edit Page
- Populate NickName | Click Save (This is so you will see yourself on the leaderboard)
- Go to RPC
- exec bankroll qty denomination (This is something you have to figure out for yourself, but if you have 1MM bbp, a good start would be "exec bankroll 9 90000" for example will create 9 bills of 90,000 each).  One new feature in 1.5.4.6 is we now give you 10 extra change transactions of 10bbp each that will fund the next successive stakes.
- Wait for a few blocks to go by
- easybbpstake min_amount 0
- If everything on the screen looks good:  easybbpstake min_amount 1
(Repeat the last two steps until your coins are all locked.  You can see your coins locking (after a couple confirms) in coin control).

The primary difference in this guide in contrast to our prior releases is this will help you denominate the wallet into distinct coins that can be staked, and secondly our latest code version is now programmed to use a very small transaction to fund the stake (it will use between 1bbp-100 bbp and it will avoid bigger coins). NOTE: BiblePay will not spend a coin larger than 100bbp on the UTXO stake fee, so you must have some small coins in the wallet starting in 1.5.4.6+.






5800 BBP
Please forgive me for the "n00b" questions here - trying to make the most of my BBP.
1. You mentioned RPC - what is that? Is that the same as the console in the tools window?
2. You discussed using a fresh wallet for testing. That makes sense. I currently have one main BBP wallet. Would you recommend that I create a second one specifically for staking? If so, can I do that on the same computer?

I'm receiving some feedback via e-mail and will try to accomplish this today:

First, if you are having trouble with a new utxostake, be sure you save your nickname first (this is just so you can see yourself in the leaderboard), and also be sure you either have a few tx's in the wallet less than 100 bbp, or that you ran the 'exec bankroll' command at least once (this provides enough change for a utxo stake): (See this addendum):
https://forum.biblepay.org/index.php?topic=517.msg10300#msg10300

- I will add this addendum to the utxo wiki page today.  EDIT:  I added the 3 common problems to the FAQ:
https://wiki.biblepay.org/UTXO_Mining


- New users have no idea where to go on the forum (I guess our forum is a little out of order).  I will attempt to move this thread up to the top and make a blurb about this thread on our front page (maybe I will be able to make this one bold also) etc. 
EDIT:  I moved this thread up to the top.  I will make a new user FAQ.


- If anyone else has any helpful hints that are crucial let me know.  I think I need to make a New User FAQ wiki page.

Hi Radar,

On #1, yes RPC = the "Tools | Info  | Console" command line.  For example where you type 'getmininginfo'.
On #2, I do not recommend using a new wallet, no.  Going to a new wallet erases your rsa key, nickname, hoses up the podc purse key in the config file, etc.  I only meant that I was testing our utxo system for a new user with a clean wallet to ensure they did not run into problems spending the last coin.  For all of us with established wallets, I highly recommend Not moving to a new wallet (unless you plan to deliberately make a new wallet, put a stake in it , put it on a usb flash drive and put it in a safe and let it sit there as a long term investment).  Because if you have e-mails or any CPKs or any social interaction with your current wallet.dat, you will just want one wallet so that all of that remains working.

Rob,

Thanks for the input! I utilized the easystake function in the wallet to stake just under half of my holdings. I guess I will see how that goes before staking the other half+.

You stated to look at coin control to review all of your staked coins, with little locks next to them. I do not see where to do that within the wallet. Can you please point me in the right direction? Thanks again!

Sure!

So if you go to "Send | Inputs" (if there is no inputs button please enable Coin Control from Settings first).  Then click Inputs.
From there make sure you have "List mode" selected.

You should see a Lock with a cylinder on it next to every locked utxo.  On a side note if its a normal locked coin (like a sanc) it just has a normal lock.

This just shows the utilization level of the utxos in there.

Easy to read, nice spacing and such.
I suppose you could add in how to enable coin control feature.

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday.
I am trying to figure out this whole UTXO thing. I was listed on the leaderboard yesterday and have received two "superblock payments". However, I found that I was not listed on the leaderboard this morning. Is there a hierarchy that I am not aware of? Did I fall off? I am not looking for glory - just wondering how the system works and if my stakes that are still active in my wallet somehow are no longer listed. Thanks for the help!
