Archived Proposals / Re: Dynamic Whale Staking

« on: June 26, 2020, 10:50:30 AM »

Can anyone explain to me exactly how to do Dynamic Whale Staking.
I will ask exactly step by step (I do not speak English and it is quite difficult despite the translation)
Will I definitely get my government back? Can't I come for him? How is it protected?
Can you create a discord section on Dynamic Whale Staking?
PS: Can't create directly in your wallet - the "Invest" button (Dynamic Whale Staking)?

1) If you want to burn 100K for 30 days to receive 17.9% staking roi:
exec dws 100000 30 I_AGREE

2) There is no guarantee that you will get it back and it is not protected.

3) There is a 99% chance you will get it back, since our smart contracts have never failed to emit since DWS went live.   Basically, for it to fail, you would need to see the sanctuaries go down, or the chain fork and fail to emit the daily contract.  (We do have chainlocks now, so we have a pretty resilient chain).

If anyone else would like to add in native language please add and please send more questions if you do not understand.
Btw, the longer the burn duration the more the reward. 

So if you substituted 30 with 365 in the above command, the ROI would be 33% (see 'exec dwsquote').

PS - The reason we can't offer a guarantee is we want to definitely put all risk on the user, and make this a self directed decision -- and therefore pass the Howey test (see 'exec dws' output to understand the 5 conditions).

EDIT:  We haven't had many questions on it, but Togo might be interested in adding a room to discord.
The invest idea button is a good one.  Id almost jump on that, but Im not sure we are willing to take the risk.  As it is its pretty clear we pass the Howey, but if BiblePays wallet was viewed as a bank account we could get in trouble (with people confusing us as an asset instead of a utility).  Lets keep this idea on the todo list - maybe if it was branded as 'Burn Excess BBP' it would pass.  Thanks for the idea!

Hey everyone, been gone for a while, but glad to be back and see the progress you've all made.  I got the new wallet out and setup my masternode again, and under Leaderboard I see Healing campaigns and also WCG.  Is World Community Grid mining in effect? The website doesn't seem to mention it.

Best!

Hi!  Its good to see you again, welcome back!

Yes, we still have WCG mining:

I put 80k into SX for faucet. freefaucet.io is not responsive lately, so I'm sending them any more funds until I can communicate with them and get a response.

Sweet.

DAC is probably easier to rank on Google as there's only 129M as opposed to DEC 2.1B results.


there already a company called xDAC though. https://xdac.co/


I was looking at caritas (latin for charity) but I see the catholic church already owns the domain.

Good points.   

I think we will need to veer away from the XDC and XDAC ticker ideas with (xdac being taken by a website) and XDC being taken by a chain that is < 1000 $ market cap, etc (plus I see two XDC tickers on coingecko).   We can think of more.  DACBBP is good on one hand because it keeps our old ticker in, but it might be viewed as too long to be catchy so Im not sure that we want a 6 character ticker..

DAC itself for the domain name and coin name seems pretty solid so far - with the primary question being: will we actually grow if we do this.

Rob, does the pool need to run on windows or can it run on Linux also? Is there any documentation on how to setup a pool or a link to github? Let me know as would like to look into setting up a pool. Thanks

In addition to what Togo said:

- Its windows only on the server side
- Here is the first version of the starting a pool doc:

This is what the 400 Rabbi's in Israel really think of the Trump peace plan:
https://www.jewishpress.com/news/israel/the-peace-process/400-israeli-orthodox-rabbis-deal-of-the-century-not-worth-the-risk/2020/01/30/

Make no mistake, you won't read the truth in the run of the mill media.
The Trump plan does cut into some of Israel's sovereign territory, and makes a Palestinian Capital in East Jeruslem (the apple of God's eye).

Be very afraid if this is passed (by the US president no less) before the Nov elections (as Im sure those in US politics will try to force this through as a pro for Trump).

The one who splits Gods chosen land, that is within the covenant of Abraham, pokes at God's eyes.  The one who splits Jerusalem gets split.

I encourage Trump and Netanyahu to pray on this before they ink the deal.

Production Proposals / Vote on Future Currency Name II

« on: June 20, 2020, 10:08:12 AM »

First I would like to say that switching our currency name from BiblePay to DAC is in the spirit of growing the community and not blocking potential users who might view us as overly religious.  We are not doing this in any way because we are ashamed of the gospel; but instead to appeal to a broader cross section of the world first.

We can still keep the bible in the wallet, and spread the Gospel of Jesus in certain specific areas (such as the doctrine section of foundation.biblepay.org) if we re-brand.

Anyway, Jesus said the Gospel is for those who are sick and or in need (not for those who are already saved and sealed).

In our last vote, our community strongly gravitated towards re-branding in contrast to having dual brands.  One of the old questions was: Should we keep both biblepay and DEC, and the supermajority felt it was not a good idea to maintain two brands. 

The supermajority liked DAC more than DEC also (hence why I have more choices up above for variations of DAC).

In light of that, this vote attempts to hone in on the recommended currency name (and see if the idea is maintained).

There are 3 tiny coins with the ticker DAC already:  Davinci Coin and DACash (DAC) and DACC - Decentralized accessible content chain (DACC).  I think what we would do is hold a separate vote for the ticker.  We could possibly make the ticker XDAC  (none are taken like that) or DACBBP.     So for example:  We would be Digital Autonomous Currency (XDAC).

I prayed about this decision and I'm not receiving any negative response about switching from BIBLEPAY, but I don't want to influence the voters, so please vote.

Finally on the Charity vs Non-Charity debate, during the last vote more people voted for autonomous currency than autonomous charity.  This is another case of keeping ourselves generic (and not pegging us to the stigma that we spend all the investors money on charity or that the price will always go down because its all spent on aid etc). 

If anyone has a variation that is even better please post it and Ill consider adding it to the list.  We own dac.ngo, dac.ong, dec.app, and coin.ngo.  I kept coin out of this because I believe its just too generic compared to dac and dec.

Hi Rob,
In fractional sanctuary my deposit address is empty.
So I cannot deposit.

Hi CI!

Thanks for the heads up:  It looks like when we added the deposit report's pagination, we removed the address from the display only.

Fixed!

So Rob, is it a requirement to mine on a pool these days or can the wallet/external miner solo mine? Just wondering if we have centralized on Pool mining at this point. Let me know as I have been away for a while. Thanks

Welcome back my friend :

So you can solo mine, from the core wallet, but for one the core wallet built in miner is about 90% slower than the Xmrig version (so most people dont do it).
Additionally the block will only be solved if network diff drops below .10 or the block is late (thats over 30 minutes from the prior block).

Here is one doc how to mine with RX:

It seems to be working for now. I also added this pool into Awesome Miner, which was interesting! But, because you can add a complete command line string into the advanced section, I am again Dual Mining! Thanks Rob!

Wow, that sounds really cool!

We also have this pool:
https://bbp.miningpool.fun/

I'm glad to hear we are much more compatible with the mainstream, finally!

Maybe someday we will be a dac-xmr (merge-mined pair) while helping 65,536 orphans.
(Or BBP, if that's how God wants it).

Cancel that last. All I am getting now are "Connection reset by peer" errors.

Yes, what I thought was the permanent solution wasn't the complete fix.  The [pool] server downloaded some windows update that made it unstable (its server 2012R2).  Im going through each possibility and rolling back or reinstalling until we get it resolved.  I have to reboot the server continually.

Things are looking a little better now, this time, knock on wood.

The server is coming back up now!  Good luck everyone to a brighter orphan future.

Good news, I found the root problem.  Its been fixed, and I believe it will now be stable again going forward.
