February 2021 Testnet Thread (Tribulation)

So I've been testing the e-mail in unit test mode and not only did I discover an additional bug, but I found we dont even support multiple recipients yet -- duh.

So let me fix these issues, add multiple recipients, and re-release.

Im not ready to tackle "CC"s and BCC's yet because that is yet another layer to conquer, but Ill get this thing supporting multiple recipients next and notify of a release!

Thanks for all the great quality testing guys!

PS Please dont bother sending me any email yet because they have to be slightly changed (IE the serializer needs changed).

PS II:  I also need to modify the "Donate to Foundation" to "Donate to DAC", since we are theoretically decentralizing the foundation now into a DAC.

1.5.3.5 - Mandatory Upgrade for TestNet

- Rename Foundation to DAC in Send Coins
- Add multiple recipient support to SMTP (and fix SMTP bug)


MIP, can you please build MAC again?

Earlz, let me know when you are upgraded and we can try new e-mails.

I will send you one now that is 2megs.

I will send it to you, and MIP as addl recipient.

As far as testing 'gettxoutsetinfo', this is the command that supplies block explorers with our circulating money supply.

The best way to test this would be to run biblepay-qt against prod and let it sync to the top.
Then look at the new fields:

total_burned is how much was burned in all DWS stakes.  Note that UTXO mining does not burn coins, so it is expected that this number would stop growing.
The accurate way to represent our "real money supply" would be total_circulating_money_supply + future_whale_stake_liabilities.  (These are the whale stakes that have been burned and not paid).  We cant really ascertain the 'true' money supply in BiblePay-prod 1.5.2.9 right now, because it has no way of showing the future liabilities.  But in testnet we can see clearly that we have 2.476B circulating, 415MM burned, and 159MM in future liabilities, meaning the very last line "total_supply_plus_liabilities" is going to be 2.63B.  Thats theoretically what the BXs should really show, although now we have this guide it is much easier for us to govern our future emission.  Imho, its good to scale it back with APM until its completely square.

Here is the emission schedule target doc:
http://wiki.biblepay.org/Emission_Schedule_2020

So basically, we are still 200MM over schedule for this point in time (If you synthesize it, we should be at 2.434B right now.  So we need to pull the horns in for about 200 more days and theoretically be square.  It would be nice to see 2.847B at the end of this year.  Of course its a challenge to scale back while growing at the same time.  Obviously I prefer a few new users per day over conservation.

I will also be holding a vote to increase our deflation rate by 5% temporarily to fix this problem without APM being required (another words, to fix it regardless of our state of APM).
That code is already in this testnet version but we will need a sanc vote concerning all changes at once when this is close to release.

Earlz, let me know when you are upgraded and we can try new e-mails.

Alright.  ill update in a few minutes.

Also about when im trying to UTXO stake for testing it wont let me stake my tBBP even tho they have matured, says i have 3m to spend but i still get the "unable to UTXO stake"

One potential problem with UTXO staking is any time the wallet spends any money, even for an e-mail fee, your coins start re-aging.

So I think you really need 20MM or so for testnet to test this easier.  What is your receive address?  Then you can do an exec bankroll and make some.

In the mean time, I will also figure a way to make a feature to force a UTXO stake that is "valid" for the leaderboard, but not applicable for a mining reward.  This will allow us to test even more in testnet (or in prod).  Basically that kind of stake gives you perpetual rewards, but is not going to give someone a mining reward.

Ill have to look at the e-mail issue; let me try sending myself one from outlook to thunderbird.  Yesterday I did not have that problem, it could be a regional thing, but Ill check.



EDIT:
See the attached screenshot of my thunderbird - I can send skies.jpg as an attachment from Outlook to Thunderbird, or from Outlook to Outlook without seeing the characters.
One other problem I noticed is your thunderbird replies include all the headers while mine seem to be inducted correctly.

Sigh, its probably some regional issues.  Can you tell me what your keyboard layout is and your native system language, and if your emails are HTML or Plain text and if you know if you use unicode or not?  I believe Im using English EN (US) Keyboard, HTML emails, and non-unicode ASCII.  It will be interesting to see how MIPs emails look with attachments and if he can see the one I sent you guys. 

EDIT 2:  Whats your thunderbird version also (Options | General)?  Mine is 78.6.1.  That could give me something to try.
EDIT 3:  And finally here is one more valuable question, if you go to ~/.biblepay/SAN, please do an "ls -l email_f6db*".  Mine is 2,467,803 bytes.  Can you see if yours matches my size just to ensure the truncation did not occur?

EDIT 4:  One thing you can actually try too, is sending one with a picture attached to yourself.  See if it mangles it with letters?

First of all i tried send a picture a jpg file 1.42MB big, transaction went thru bbp core and i received in mailbox but same thing just letters and no  picture.

Thunderbird is version 78.6.1
My native system language is swedish, the keyboardlayout is swedish, it says "Swedish QWERTY"  I looked through options on thunderbird and i see that in composition & adressing section " Compose messages in HTML format"   is checked.  I do not belive im using any ASCII och Unicode.

i checked in biblepay/SAN and  got:

Indeed.

 I just sent you 30MM.  Could you please do an 'exec bankroll 30 1000000' for example and that will give you 30 spendable UTXOs.
You can see them by going into Coin Control (if you dont have that enabled you can enable that checkbox from Settings).  Then you can get to coin control by going to Spend Money | Coin Control.  There you will see the 30 UTXOs once they are created.  You will see once you start sending successful UTXO stakes that they get locked automatically (just like sanctuaries).

Also, we need to verify we get the coinbase reward (and not the miner) once we send a successful utxo stake (I did that a few times locally but Id like testers to see it too).  You can probably do that by shutting off your miner after you send a successful utxo that is accepted, then you know you will not be the "miner" and then when you get the reward you will know.

Ill look into that email post soon.

Sounds sweet Rob!

Earlier today i managed to make a UTXO stake that was below 10k tBBP  so i see myself in leaderboard there now.
i did the 'exec bankroll 30 1000000'  and i see it worked.  I learn something new everyday!

I see you in there, awesome!
Yeah, btw, if you double click on the user in the leaderboard, you will eventually be able to see a more detailed breakdown of your positions.  Right now it does show you summaries of each ticker and qty.  So its relatively useful if you have a breakdown of for example all 3 tickers.  The goal so far, is to show the total value in USD for each category.

I see a testnet user in there called Scropius also, but doing WCG, interesting.

So I think I might see (well, lets hope this is the only) problem with e-mail issue (with the funny character lines).  It appears to be a windows only issue.  The sancs and my foundation machine are all on ubuntu 18.  Yours was the first testing machine on windows.

I booted up a windows client + windows thunderbird, and voila, it did send a mangled email.  The other 'clue' is your reported byte size was 32K higher for that email_ that you referenced vs. the size on my linux disk.  So it points to most likely an encoding issue on windows (not a socket issue) where we are probably writing /r/n's instead of /ns or something. 

At least it sounds like a relatively easy fix!  Ill look at that soon.

I got the SMTP e-mail feature working in Windows.
Basically, it was a pesky problem with \r\ns (carriage returns) becoming 1 1/2 carriage returns (\r\r\ns). Meaning that the feature didnt work at all on windows.

So this will be fixed on the next release, but first, let me look through the punchlist and see if we have any other issues to check in.

Hi Rob!
Yes, that machine was a left over from last testnet! I had left my VPS on and recently just upgraded to the latest testnet wallet 1.5.3.5 and it automatically joined with all the credentials from last testnet session.
