We are now solving 7 minute blocks on sancs!  Pretty exciting.  It was a little hairy getting past block 428001.
SouthXChange put our wallet in maintenance and are still in process of upgrading.
Bololex and txbit.io and Chainz Block Explorer have upgraded.

My BBP hardware phone is awesome, I actually really like it.  The quality is great.  I'm going to give my son a hardware phone this week (so I have two in my house).  Had to call someone in Chicago the other day for 373 seconds and got billed a pretty cheap rate :
373   $0.146   ₿ 2753.20   f139b1df68a44681f03bf299c57033dbc176bea955ffdd7dc884f67eaffe0661   
When you make a call you get billed on chain.

Our hardware phone should be out within 30 days!  If anyone is interested in getting one, push me to get the info out sooner.  The hardware phone is about $40 and comes with a US phone number and all calls automatically get billed to the chain and has the same global rates as our softphone.

All this really involves is plugging in the phone into a cat5 jack in your house and navigating to the Config page and punching in a few lines of settings in the phone and it works immediately.  It takes your phones BBP address' private key.  Its an extremely cool setup.

Regarding our long term roadmap, there is a new service coming soon called Marqeta.  Remember we have an entry to eventually release BBP debit cards on our roadmap?  Marqeta legally integrates with cryptocurrencies in the US.  I'm hoping to get that slated as a project within a year as well (after our finances improve).  They require a certain amount of collateral to set up (dont have the details yet but I inquired).

Hi Rob!

Been a while, hope you are doing fine. I just checked out the new release. I really liked the Phone System idea, that may be the ice breaker into the realm of use cases. Thanks a lot for your efforts!

I wanted to set up a sanctuary, but failed compiling the daemon on Ubuntu 20.04 with the instructions provided at https://github.com/biblepay/biblepay/blob/master/BuildBiblePay.txt

Then I attempted to download the Lin64 bins from the website, but what I ended up with is a file called BiblePay.BMSD - never seen such an extension. Do you have any suggestions?
Hi T,

I hope you've been good as well, good to hear from you.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to a bright future as well.  I think the phone could be good for businesses or anyone with more than one phone number.  Or people who make LD calls a lot.

Anyway, first on the BMSD file:  On the Linux version, the extension is actually blank (thats normal for Linux executables).  You dont really need that file to run a sanc.  Its only used if you click on the Unchained button, then its used to launch firefox and allows you to use the softphone, and the email service, etc.

I installed a few Ubuntu 20 sancs over the weekend and didnt have a problem compiling it, but, admittedly I already had mostly synced gitlab repos so that could be the difference.

Could you please share the output of the compile problem so I can attempt to address it?

In the mean time you can use the linux binary if you just install it somewhere and run biblepayd as a sanc.

(It only calls BMSD if you run biblepay-QT and click the Unchained button).

when i click post after attaching the files the reply doesn't post

Sorry to hear that, seems to work for me.

I had a server this weekend that failed to launch on first click because it was Upgrading, then 5 mins later it launched every time.  Thats prob it, imho.  Ill add a "We are installing BiblePay BMS" for our next release, in the mean time, it seems to work pretty good for users who install it, click once, wait 5 mins then it works every time after that.

still facing a bit problem...
the unchain doesn't always open...

First, I would do this 3 times so I can get an idea of whats happening:
1) From task manager, kill BiblePay.BMS.EXE
2) Launch Unchained
3) Log the result
4) Repeat this 2 more times
5) Report this to me so I know the % of launch success

If it doesnt work 100% of the time, then you can send me your:
%appdata%\biblepay\bms\bms.log file along with your %appdata%\biblepay\debug.log along with the synopsis.

In my case, it launches every time and never fails to launch.

Please include any actions that led up to it and the outcome.

If i send coins to my UTOX-RETIREMENT-ACCOUNT will i then be a investor sanc?I redraw all my stake coins before the change.

Mvh.Akkin4

The UTXO Retirement account really doesnt do anything special now.  Its now just a regular address.

In order to have an investor sanc, you have to actually create a Real sanc using the EasySanc doc:
(Listed in this post)  https://forum.biblepay.org/index.php?topic=517.msg12503#msg12503

Once you have a real sanc, it will give you rewards even if you leave it offline you will get half.  (Except for the fact that your controller wallet must run at least every few days to revive the investor sancs).

I found the problem when i load down a new wallet it came with new address but the old was still in unchained,so it worked,but now it nocked out the old,so i hade to take new number fore the right address .All okay.

Best bet is to always keep the same wallet.dat, and also, keep a copy of your unchained.conf file safe so you can always go to that phone # again.

In the near future (within a year) Ill be making a GUI so you can map phone #s to BBP addresses (drag and drop them) then you can have multiple phone #s.  This will be good for businesses who have many extensions. 

Im glad you are back up now.

BIBLEPAY E-MAIL SERVICE IS READY FOR TESTING IN MAINNET



We are currently giving away free e-mail service to our users with hopes to grow our community size.  We reserve the right to charge a monthly fee in BBP for this feature in the future, but I think for now it is time to grow.

To get your free e-mail server (IMAP) (meaning that you can set it up on both your home PC and your phone and the e-mails can be deleted from either device and perfectly sync with all instances of your inbox on all devices), click on the Unchained icon in the wallet.  Your node should be v5.8+.

From there click E-Mail service, E-Mail and set it up by following the guide.

User Guide:

https://wiki.biblepay.org/BiblePay_Email


In the near future we will look into e-mail encryption with PGP and RSA and implement it if the demand is high.  SSL is already enabled, so the e-mail is transmitted securely and this data is stored on our sanctuary network (and not on any big tech server).

We currently sponsor 35 orphans from cameroon-one, and this proposal is for the primary payment to cameroon-one.

I am seeking 1.8MM bbp (superblock limit) covering a small proportion of our 35 orphans (we pay $40 per month for each orphan). 

Payout going directly to cameroon-one: BF6qmwBMmnmb4FbSmRGTeWQL1m3rwh5n7b

Great thanks Rob. I was gonna ask for  a bit more info on how it works.

Just one question do we all get paid the same or does the amount we have in the Sanctuary matter?

For the sancs, if they are active sancs in the ENABLED state, they get 100%, but if they are investor sancs they get 50%.  Investor sancs start to get labeled as an Investor relatively quickly as their quorums fail (see the Sanctuaries tab in the GUI and the Status).  Once labeled in a non ENABLED state (IE Investor state) the rewards drop to 50%.

Each sanc does have to have exactly 4,500,001 collateral.  Otherwise it wont actually be entered on the sanctuary list.

Congratulations on the latest upgrades and new features. The dark theme of the desktop version of Unchained appears to "hide" the announcements on the top of the page.

Thanks oncoapop, I appreciate the congrats.  I hope we have a lot of phone users and I am excited that we can eventually add routing rules to a GUI which will allow businesses to route incoming calls to their appropriate office extensions etc.

We can also have a lot of calling to Canada, Europe, Mexico and other global PSTN families relatively cheap.

So for the settings, just click the top right Gear icon and you can choose a different theme.

Exciting features coming up very soon:

- Ability to provision a personal username/password in desktop unchained that will theoretically allow you to use your android/apple phones to make long distance phone calls (this feature is currently a proof of concept)
- Hardware Phone
- BBP Email addresses that allow Outlook and Thunderbird (First 50 users will be free monthly then we can establish a monthly charge after the test pilot)

Thanks Rob.

I managed to get my EasySanc up and running. The only issue i had was for some reason i had to put some coins in to my CHRISTIAN-PUBLIC-KEY address before it would let me revive the Sanct.

Apart from that pretty simple to setup.

Good Work thank you for the easy tutorial.

Ok, thats great that you got EasySanc up!  So once the mandatory block passes I will explain a little more about how the new investor sanc feature works in the background.
There is a daemon that runs that will revive your sanc automatically (thus keeping the investor payments flowing even if you get POSE banned).

I forgot about having to have a few bbp in the CPK.  Ill have to mention that also.

Those go to the network fees for the revival tx.

Yea,got me a new number,was able to call my self :)Payed 3cent to hear  my own answering maskin.Posting this on my facebook site.
Awesome man!  Yeah the $39 hardware phone is actually really nice.  I have been using it 95% to replace my home phone for the last 2 weeks.

I think we can release this hardware phone very soon to the masses.

Yeah, I hate the fact that we dont currently have fractional sancs, but on the bright side BBP is so cheap right now anyone can get a sanc for something like $65 per MM bbp.  So at least we are not creating one of those big barriers yet.  Obviously when BBP rises in price to $5000 a sanc, we will make a big push to get some fractional sanc working again for the users.

That's a bit silly denied for what? i suppose they want you to move the domain to hotmail.

Just downloaded the latest version syncing the blockchain now, wouldn't let me load without deleting the blockchain first.

I dont know, all they said was:
Hi ,
 
Thanks for your patience while we investigated your request.

Below your IP address(es) and their status(es) are listed.

Not qualified for mitigation


If you want to try with your hotmail you can send a message to microsoft support and say they should allow messages from your hotmail to go to @biblepay.org.


Regarding having to -erasechain=1, that happens if your client is between mandatory upgrades and not in sync.
