BiblePay | 10% to Orphan-Charity | RANDOMX MINING | Sanctuaries (Masternodes)

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.

Alright, here is a peek at the new BBP softphone, which is part of the Red Sea release (testnet thread):

Fantastic work my friend. Cant wait for the new features.

Thanks for being here Prof Budinga.  Its always nice to have loyal support for biblepay that actually cares.

Btw, Budinga and I have discovered HOTMAIL blocks the biblepay forum emails.  That explains the user a few pages back that was not receiving our FORUM Emails.  All other domains, to my knowledge, are getting through From the Forum.


I also Tested hotmail, I created a hotmail account and sure enough if I send myself an email from my biblepay address, it does not go through.

So my suggestion is Anyone using hotmail here, please change your email address to something else, anything but Hotmail.


I opened a ticket with Hotmail yesterday asking them to fix it and they autoreplied: DENIED without a real reason.  Ill try again another way asap.

TESTING PROGRESS FOR BIBLEPAY PHONE AND TESTNET IN GENERAL



Great news:  All of the core wallet test cases from last month passed in testnet, clearing the way for our June release to be release some time this month.
Our phone system has a couple glitches but no show stoppers.  My plan is to have these bugs fixed this weekend, and schedule a release.

If all goes well, we should theoretically have a BBP mandatory upgrade on June 18th, 2023.

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.

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.

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?

Upgraded the node for Blockbook explorer.

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.

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.
