Ok, Windows is ready to test!

Note that the version was ticked up to 0.17.3.3; please verify this is your version.

I updated the link for Windows in the OP Post (see the first post for the download link).


Instructions: 0.17.3.3 Red Sea:

Download the windows installer and save on the local hard drive.
Run the installer.
Change the default installation location to "c:\program files\biblepaydev" (this prevents the testnet version from overwriting the prod version).
Run the program with no testnet flag in mainnet (Because we need to test in mainnet, as the phone system does not work in testnet).

Once the wallet is loaded, if your wallet is Locked, unlock the wallet before clicking the unchained menu (otherwise you will receive an error).

Give it some time to launch (you should see an info message explaining that Unchained is upgrading).

Fund your BBP Unchained key with more than 5000 BBP by doing this (with real prod funds):
- Find your address by clicking File | Receive Addresses | Copy the Unchained entry public key
- Send BBP to that address, send more than 5001 bbp

Launching Unchained:

Click the Unchained menu option.  (Note, if you attempt to launch the Phone without 5000 BBP, you cannot provision the Phone).
From Unchained Desktop, Click Phone | Phone Service.
Click the Provision Tab.
Choose a State, and an Area (this allows you to choose the 3 digit area code you prefer for your home phone number).
Click Provision.
Once provisioned you will see your phone number on the Phone Service page.
Now you can make phone calls and receive phone calls.
To call yourself, find your Phone Number on the Phone Service page, then dial yourself.



Good luck !

Last items on checklist for Rob to finish right now:


1.   Verify the unchained auto-provision keypair works for a clean wallet
       (The error when not provisioned should be moved to a msgpage)... Right now wallet blows up

2.   Run through a final end to end test for release linux (this basically means I need a batch file to copy the linux release into the correct folder when they install it)

3. Run through the upgrade process, when we push an upgrade does the end client upgrade (this keeps web content fresh)

4.  Ensure the revivesanc command is called automatically by the core wallet so as to pay investor nodes internally (this is a little batch job running in core wallet for investors)

5.  Verify the BBPAPI checks the latest version hash vs running version hash and attempts to upgrade the DLL if its out of date, or, if autoupgrade=0, ceases to work after mandatory upgrade

6.  Test the IPC msg when it needs an upgrade notifies the user.

7.  Change home page on unchained to talk about changes - rather than the current banner

8.  Make sure the installer for windows copies the BMSD file to windows %appdata%\biblepay\biblepay\BMSD

9  Chmod 777 biblepay.Bms so the installer can run

10  Create biblepay/bms.conf or touch the file does not exist, currently blows up the wallet

11.  Throw UI sorry you must fund your wallet on the ui rather than a silent log message

12.  Talk about zoho,email,phone on general thread

13. Fix buildbiblepay.txt file to not include old dependencies and freshen

14. Ensure the phone launches on localhost so they dont need an SSL key



I'm working on this list right now.

I want to promote this new phone function !
Can I get the phone access for windows ?

Hi Mr. A,  yes, absolutely.
Thanks for your interest!
I've got windows 96% compiled, and very, very close to releasing it to testnet.

Thankfully today is a holiday in the US, Memorial Day, so I should have this done within 4 hours!

I'll post my Todo List now, just to give everyone an idea whats going on and please peek back here before end of day and we can start testing.

BiblePay Current Discussion / Re: BiblePay | 10% to Orphan-Charity | RANDOMX MINING | Sanctuaries (Masternodes)

« on: May 29, 2023, 05:35:24 AM »

And here is a peek of what is possible in the future (IE end of 2023) if there is interest in the BBP phone system and it grows, we can release hardware phones as well for your house or business:

The first phone, YeaLink is on the pricy side ($199 per phone, and it has color LCD and can display the BBP logo in the background).  Imho, its a little too pricy to start out with, but it could still be an option for us to release a config file for people who happen to choose YeaLink).

However the second phone is very promising (GrandStream 1610).  That phone is only $39 and could offer a real market for end users to simply buy one for their house and it seamlessly integrates into the BBP phone network (it rings just like a normal phone, and can call any country in the world for 2cents a minute billed right out of your biblepay wallet automatically).  You can plug it into any LAN jack and it just works as a home phone.

The real use case is for small businesses.  If someone has 10 employees and they pay a huge monthly fee (usually $20 per month + 7 cents per minute for long distance), this is where BBP can shine.  That business could literally save 80% off the cost of the phone bill and host 10 BBP public key/phone number accounts accomplishing the exact same high quality phone connection.

God bless all BiblePay users.

Let me talk about some exciting things that are happening that imho, could put BiblePay on the map.

These are the big changes that should affect the roadmap that we can talk about in greater detail:

- Unchained web site is no longer relied upon for any real use case (except it will be up for spreading the gospel).  All of the features in biblepay core wallet will be moved the biblepay unchained desktop application which comes with the core wallet.
- BiblePay staking is being retired in favor of 'investor sancs'.
- BiblePay RandomX mining is being retired in favor of Sanctuary mining.
- There will be two types of sanctuaries:  (Passive/Investor)  and  (Active/Normal).  The Investor sanc pays a 50% reward.
Investor sancs replace staking.
- We will have a BiblePay phone system.  Ill post screen shots of our softphone for the core wallet (that version will be v1.0 and will be released in this Red Sea release in June/July).  The future proof-of-concept, hardware phones, will also be possible and I will post some pics of that running in development (they actually work in POC mode!).  I believe we could have hardware phones by end of 2023, if there is interest.
- We need to talk about advanved use cases for a phone network.  This includes one-to-many phone numbers per user, a UI that allows reorganizing BBP-addresses to PhoneNumbers.  A UI for Routing Rules, which route calls to your organizations BBP accounts.  And finally call center dynamic routing, which allows a virtual phone number to ring into staff that has a 'presence' (A presence is a user who is not on a call and not in do not disturb mode).
- Future use case for Biblepay:  A single desktop app that includes an Outlook type email client, which connects to BBP network for exchange like e-mail, a gitlab competitor, a Zoho One competitor, a Project Mgmt solution, a ticket system, and a competitor to Microsoft Teams.  Basically, a one stop shop office app that gives small businesses a full collaboration app (similar to basecamp and zoho one) but affordable.  The BBP core wallet would host the code that launches the single integrated collaboration app and BBP provides the back-end services for this app.

But I am most excited with the phone system.  I think this could be the anchor product that propels us to have enough market cap to bring on a team of developers that can program the rest of our desktop office solution which brings permanent revenue for BBP to survive as a service.

The blockchain phone system allows our users to have a real personal PSTN phone number, receive real PSTN phone calls, and make real outgoing calls to any country globally for 2 cents per minute flat rate.  This is a true use case for BBP that gives BBP a real reason to be in business and a truly cost effective use for the BBP coins.

Dear all,
Is there a valid pool to start mining again ?

Rob, what you need to test I don't have to much time but I can help you...

Alex

Hi Alex,

The RandomX mining is being decommissioned in about 30 days but you can still mine against Hawaii or China currently.  In about 30 days we will have sanctuary mining.

For testing, you can help us here on the Red Sea release:
https://forum.biblepay.org/index.php?topic=915.msg12299#msg12299

I'm currently working on the BiblePay blockchain phone system.

Just post over there and I can refresh the test cases.  I'm going in there today to freshen it with all the latest.

Thanks for your help.

Hello Rob. I noticed the Sanctuary payments stopped on the foundation sometime in April 2023.

I hope you are well. Thanks again for all your hard work.

You too Sun.

Since we are moving away from Turnkey Sancs in favor of normal Decentralized offline sancs, I have asked everyone to withdraw their turnkey sanc balances:

Mining on foundation/miningpoolfun and hanelani,no connection the last 12 houres,know you are working with something,so i dont stress abouth it,im in  Norway just let you know.Have a blessed weekend.

Yeah, I was seeing a pretty high level of abuse on the pool socket port recently.  It was causing the server to run out of sockets which gives a bad experience to the rest of the users in other areas.

I temporarily disabled the pool on unchained.biblepay.org, so for now you can try mining on a different pool.  We are only about 30 days out before heat mining is retired, so Im not really too concerned about fixing this at this time.  Im more focused on pushing out the next release with the new upcoming feature (desktop unchained).

Btw, we still need testers in the testing thread.  At this testing rate we are in danger of postponing the release (not seeing too much community participation).

General Support / Re: Amount Exceeds Your Balance Error

« on: April 26, 2023, 11:57:51 AM »

Something is really fishy here and I don't mean in the Christian symbol, lol

The version I was using when I first got this error said Nov 22.

I then dl'd the current version from the website and made sure I have no other versions on my system.
Now the version says .017.26 dated 2021  !

BBP wallet BRYiUxjY6B1XM6d26sLGN9gsHnFDhntcWT

Since I am not a Mac native user, and this wallet is on the MAC, having problems taking a screenshot and pasting it into a image editor program, so please response as if you trusted me, lol.

Hi CB,

Shouldnt be anything fishy, maybe an old cached version at first, but the good news is if you are on 0.17.2.6-Exodus then you have the latest version (thats from about 6 months ago or so). 

So we are on block 415998.

The first key is to check if you are synced with chainz:
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/bbp/

Check a blockhash for that particular height and confirm that first.

We will definitely be able to get your balance out of there once its synced and you confirm that you can see coin control.  In settings, verify that coin control is turned on also.

Your balance above is about 24K, but your total balance could be more.

Rob

PS, here is my last blockhash for example, this is how you check it:


11:58:23
getblockhash 415998

But Happy Easter ( little late ) to everyone...

Happy Easter.

No, I have a monitor on unchained and its uptime is 99%.

Its online.
