Rob Kruger from internet advisor asked me to post this for him:

He's offering to partner with us if we have any synergies; Ill discuss.

Do we have any Russian or Ukrainian users who have upgraded to the latest core wallet?

Remember, we have the new Bible translations in now that Marcus Antonius added.  Please verify if they look good.

RandomX - new miner giveaway thread located here - we are still looking for more new RX miners:
https://forum.biblepay.org/index.php?topic=503.new#new

Let's keep the new users coming in!  So far, we gained about 105 randomx miners (about 20 most likely due to the new user promotion), and attrition has been very low.

I'm hoping to see us grow past our last record size (we had about 300 active PODC and about 200 heat miners early on, with an all time total of 4000 miners who came and left over time).  On a side note I did a study this last weekend, of how many fake e-mail addresses signed up at pool.biblepay.org (we had about 25% or so which I found interesting).

On the PODC side we remain stable with 65 participants.  That puts us at 170 active miners.

Fractional sancs are really very successful so far:  I see someone bought around 5-9 million (can't really tell) on SX today and our total fractional sanc investment is now 39MM over 29 users!  Some may have noticed these are now locked into physical sancs, offsite (away from our hosted server), so the hot wallet for the pool is safe for the forseeable future.
 
Anyway in 1000 more blocks our RX reward will be increasing!  Let's keep growing.

** May RandomX Liquidation Report (State of the Orphans) **


As of April (our first month with RX merge-mining), we raised 2.08 XMR for charity:
https://forum.biblepay.org/index.php?topic=517.msg7397#msg7397

As of May 2020 (our second month), we raised:
Foundation.Biblepay.Org  - 1.64 XMR
BBP.MiningPool.Fun - .9619 XMR
Total:  2.60 XMR

(This is a 25% increase over last month! )
(In 3 more days, our XMR subsidy increases, and we switch to XMRig (standardized) mining, and therefore we anticipate more growth in this area).

We are supporting 39 Cameroon children, and 14 Kairos children (53 children):

I have an orphan update and a side project for someone to take on:

I've been trying to negotiate a wholesale rate for orphans through SAI.NGO (Venezuelan orphans), however Steven the President has been affected by coronavirus, and, they are battling civil unrest in the actual orphanage (and government arrests, etc).  So he put our deal on hold until further notice.  That deal was to provide us with $20 per month wholesale orphans With BIOS.

What Id like is for someone to look at globalgiving.org, and see if you can contact a lot of the bigger orphanages (like the one in India), but, we need them to be guidestar certified.  If someone could reach out to them and try to negotiate low rates (IE $25 per month or so) for a block of 30-40 orphans.  The company must have a perfect track record and be at least midsize so people can trust them.  (IE over $1 mil per year revenue and preferably a platinum certification -- not just a globalgiving cert).   And Id like them to be able to create orphan BIOS also such as this one:  https://biblepay.cameroonone.org/bios/70380d46.htm

What Im trying to do is add features to our foundation where we can accept crypto donations that help sponsor orphans monthly or fractionally.  For example, donate now to help 2 orphans.  Or, donate N monthly to help your own personal orphan.  And, Im working on adding matching!  We already have one person willing to match, so we should be able to get this off to a good start.  Im excited about working on the web side of this, so Id appreciate some help on the negotiations.

On a side note, now that I see the way the civil unrest in the word is expanding (and the way I believe - things will unfold into Daniels 70th week), Im very happy we resisted creating a 501c3.  I think we are on the right track now.  Meaning, we can be the coin that accepts crypto donations for charity (not fiat donations).  We'll find a way to match part of these donations (even if its a small match) and execute the charity need with a discount to make the user happy.  Our place can be spending crypto-dollars on charity, for example.    I believe during the years of persecution, the 501c3 list will be a great list of businesses for the Antichrist to start shutting down - starting with churches, etc.

An example of how this might work is this:
John Doe is an old bitcoin miner who has 1 mil extra in bitcoin.  He feels like he should give $100,000 to charity.  What if he could sponsor 100 orphans through us, with a 10% match and a 50% discount (as compared to Compassion.com)?  Not impossible; if we have wholesale rates of $25 per child, John Doe sponsors orphans at a deep discount (as compared to retail at compassion), gains a BBP match towards the orphans, and even receives some BBP as a reward. 
Im thinking the program might be as simple as this:

On our matching side, our compassionate gifters (and interested whales) will give BBP to a fund (escrowed for matching),  held in a matching escrow fund.
John Doe comes along and sponsors 1 orphan at $20 per month - and we promise a 30% match (due to the algorithm quote for the week).
     The way this works is John Doe would pay $20 per month in a form of crypto to us (into the foundation) and receive $6 each month (credited to his account) in BBP (that comes from our matching engine).  John Doe will also receive the distinct orphan BIO in this case, for as long as this relationship continues.

Etc.

I'm going to get started on this and attempt to roll this program out by the end of June.

I opened ticket #877946 to see why we are in maintenance still.

(I can see the wallet available in the Funds list, but its in maintenance). 


From Michelle:  "VinDAX is under DDos Attack.  We [are] now carrying out the unplanned maintenance to handle the situation."

Let's check again on Vindax tomorrow and pray the hackers cease.

After the update to the newest version, how many confirmations do you feel is "secure" for an exchange? Is SX currently at 40? Should it stay at 40 you think? InstantSend is very cool as a default.

I think 6 would be more like it.  Especially with chainlocks enabled.
Let's wait til block 200,000 (this is when LLMQs start POSE banning) - at that point we can look at the data in the llmq rounds and see some banned sancs.
Once that is successful we can appeal for a lower confirm limit with SX with real proof that we are locked in with chainlocks.

Good point, thanks!

Nice RandomX setup guide.  If you want, you can include the video from here also:
https://wiki.biblepay.org/Upgrade_to_RandomX

Ill try to look into these other issues asap- and your prior post- however, things are busy.

On your 2nd question, the one for this thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5251993.0

Feel free to quote me or use my name etc:

1) CPU mined coins do have a future, because the RandomX algorithm actually takes into account the clock cycles required to perform a task in the virtual machine on every possible device - therefore the general belief is its not going to ever be exploited by gpu or asic (as it is designed to run slower on those platforms).  Yes it might get replaced or upgraded some day, but bright minds do not see an attack vector.  (https://github.com/tevador/RandomX/issues/11)
2) There are over 100,000 randomx miners currently mining so its not true that a script kiddie can come in and take over the POW network. (65,000 on minexmr alone).
3) We have chainlocks, so in addition to randomx there is a miniscule fork risk because of our sanctuaries.
4) Its also not true that mining groups can take over randomx because each machine runs the proprietary RX vm and therefore you can't rent or steal or coerce new hashpower you simply have to have more miners.
5) BBP is fully compatible with RX so therefore we gain the security of the pool of RX miners as they discover merge mining.
