Pre-Proposal Discussion / Re: Mass Adoption for BiblePay

« on: November 21, 2018, 08:13:52 pm »

Why does a good samiritan want to join BiblePay when there are vehicles outside of BiblePay to give without expecting something in return? Its far simpler to put down a recurring monthly credit card or bank transfer than to deal with a crypto wallet. I guess you'd have to explain how to attract a crowd that would find joining BiblePay (even with PoG) far more difficult than just doing a recurring payment elsewhere.

@Rob - How is PoG going to work with recurring tithing? Is this going to be a superblock daily (e.g. 205 blocks?) and not actually a 24 hour day? The drift and 7 minute average blocks are not conducive to a 24 hour day y'know.

Hmm I doubt explorer is a problem especially on a dedicated machine.

Can you explain tranche in more detail. I'm not clear on how often you are eligible to mine a block depending on your tranche. Is this based on the lasts two digits of the block height? How many tranches are you creating? I'm concerned since I have questions, how is a newbie going to be explained the concept of PoG? If its too complicated, then it'll be hard to market and explain.

Is this a variation of proof of burn : https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Proof_of_burn

The probability part seemed like we were gambling like roulette... I could be wrong but that was my initial impression.

You could get a hetzner server for 20 euro/mo i7-3770.

Try wallet repair with the reindex option (should be one of the last options) in the windows wallet.

Do archived links have the same URL? I agree with fresh proposals, but if they are recurring proposals (Kairos, Compassion, etc) then linking to past proposals is not a bad idea.

General Support / Re: Unstaked Smartphone Mining - Payment/Wallet Address Queries

« on: November 13, 2018, 02:17:53 pm »

I have only Rosetta@home running in my Android phone (BOINC app). My phone is not running any other projects apart from Rosetta@home. Also, I have only one smartphone mining for it. I am still not getting the exact issue where I am going wrong here.

You're absolute right. I was looking at the wrong line.

Did you register on pool.biblepay.org? Account > Unbanked CPID Association?

Mining / Re: Accounts "PC" and "AprilBBP" --- a bug about unbanked mining?

« on: November 09, 2018, 04:44:37 pm »

Rosetta wants 1gb per task and my old Android phones don't have that much space free. So on my quad core I can only crunch wcg.

Wish we received a two week notification to make any needed adjustment. I lost all my rac on unbanked and have to start all over on a banked CPID. Who wants to give me 500k BBP?

I see what you mean.


Perhaps this is a scenario where they register as unbanked ARM account.


They are Rosetta@Home exclusively on Android.


Then they run WCG exclusively on PC.


The unbanked status maintains because the pool.biblepay.org only checks Rosetta ARM but not WCG.


So, WCG with 1000 PCs could PoDC without the proper staking..?

Since BBP has staking requirement (generally 20 BBP for 1 RAC), that's enough of a barrier to participation.

I have had Boinc running for 3 days now and when I try to create and attach R@H account, I get the error in the subject.  This is on a Mac and I did not have this issue with a PC. 

Where are you getting this error -- you are using the QT wallet to add BOINC?

For macOS, you should install the zip  file: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php

I'll ask MIP to review this since he has a Macintosh. Looks like the code is confusing your macOS with Linux.


You only need to register your CPID once. If you did it on the PC, it is not necessary on the mac.

Archived Proposals / Re: biblepay.org in Spanish (biblepay.es)

Looks like some translation was previously done for Spanish. Maybe just the BitcoinTalk announcement?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2804806


If BiblePay.org decides to be multi-lingual, you can take all the translations and include them as a starting point.

Business objects in production

Compassion.com & Kairos right click navigate to works great.

For some reason, BLOOM right click navigate to doesn't do anything.

If I type the Bloom URL manually in Chrome 69, it displays okay. Using Windows 10 Pro, Chrome 69, BiblePay 1.1.5.9

WPML or Polylang are two plugins for multilingual WordPress

https://wpml.org/ (paid)
https://wordpress.org/plugins/polylang/ (free)

Both offer integrated professional translation services (paid) or community based translators (e.g. Fixer for Spanish) that can be assigned pages to translate.

I appreciate Fixer wants to translate Spanish and there are free ways to set this up on on biblepay.org

There's nothing to stop someone from creating their own Spanish speaking community. But if the translator wants to contribute to existing infrastructure, s/he does not have to worry about running a web site and keep the focus on translation.

Based on Google Analytics, the most needed translation is Russian & Chinese. Hopefully, we can find other people willing to translate for those languages.
