Q:  Can we upgrade early?
A:  Yes

That email was strictly to instruct people to withdraw their funds from the old foundation.biblepay.org pool, because our new pool is no longer custodial.

Thank you for taking the time and patience with me, Rob. I'm either getting older or recent markets have me confused these days. Please disregard or remove that post.

Great work Rob! And thank you to the beta testers!

Is there a guide to setup a POVS sanctuary?

Great work Rob! And thank you to the beta testers!

Is there a guide to setup a POVS sanctuary?

Thanks.

To set up a POVS sanc first create a regular sanc in prod and ensure its Enabled:
https://wiki.biblepay.org/Create_Sanctuary

Then install BMS:
https://wiki.biblepay.org/Install_BMS

At that point you can check the status of the sanc by looking at its status page:
https://your_sanc_IP/BMS/Status


** Important **
The new node must have at least a 400gb hard drive (free space) and 6 core cpu (otherwise it does not meet the minimum spec and will not be paid).

Thanks, that seems fairly straightforward. 

I noticed the setup specifies ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Is there a reason not to use the latest version of ubuntu LTS (long term support)? Meaning ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

** Cameroon one has created Orphan NFTs **

Just that its not tested.  If it works we can adjust the instructions.

** CoinGecko has added BBP Supply Metrics **

** We now have two superblocks per day for Portfolio Builder **


First, to find out what the ROI is for portfolio builder, please see this page:
https://unchained.biblepay.org/bbp/portfoliobuilder

Notice that we now accept "portfolio builder donations".  This allows users who feel charitable to donate to our portfolio builder kitty (any amount they want) and this raises the ROI for all the other participants for 30 days (the donation is split among participants for 30 days).  See the "PB Donations" page for more info.

So realize that you will receive two rewards per day:
One for the base reward matching the PB Leaderboard
One for the excess ROI sourced from donations


May God be pleased with BiblePay.

Thanks for pointing that out.

The problem was not any security issue, but that the deploy script somehow lost the permissions to write the hash to the web site.
I fixed the deploy process and redeployed.

The Win64.hash.htm is now c2ba*.
The Lin64.hash.htm is now 648c*.

*** Note regarding our RandomX Pools ***


MineXMR is our payment provider for outbound XMR payments from our pools to the user.  (We pay half of the rewards in BBP, which come from our pool, and half in XMR which come from the external partner pool).

MineXMR is going out of business on Aug 12th, 2022 so we had to switch payment providers.

In the case of foundation.biblepay.org and unchained.biblepay.org, we switched over to SupportXMR.com.

The change has just been made.  You should not notice any difference as a miner.  The only apparent change is when you navigate (from the left menu) to Pool | XMR inquiry, you will see Support XMR which is a page where you can paste in your XMR address and see what your owed balance is.  (Regarding any amount MineXMR owes you I am sure they will make a final payment, but you can always manually go to MineXMR.com and click Pay Now with your address pasted in).

Technical Note for Pool Owners:  Please switch your config value [ "XMRExternalPool" ] from pool.minexmr.com to "pool.supportxmr.com".

May everyone be blessed by God.

*** Tokok is going out of business ***



I just found out Tokok.com (one of our exchanges) is apparently going out of business immediately.  There is a notice on the web site that in order to withdraw your coins you must e-mail them.  Please check into it if you have any there.

I've got about 5MM or so sitting in there so I will go through the process and let you all know how the experience went.

May this be a lesson for exchanges who report dishonest volume figures:  God is watching.  One positive thing about this is we are no longer affiliated to this dishonest practice nor should we partner with anyone who has unfair weights or measures or practices a lie.  When we signed up for Tokok, I believed the coinmarketcap volume figures and we had to find out the hard way they were being fabricated by their own internal software.

Then the shady withdrawal process on Tokok, even if they honor the withdrawals, they've got it set up to charge you a 5% per month fee on your balance (so your balance will be gone in 20 months).  This is basically a legal (in their eyes, scam in my eyes) way to steal all the account balances they currently have.  They need to repent....

Thanks for the update Rob....

Thanks for the update Rob....

I did receive my Ethereum back from Tokok, and they responded via e-mail that my BBP is still on hold because they need to upgrade the wallet.

Will follow up with Tokok again this month.
