"errors": "Warning: We do not appear to fully agree with our peers! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade."

Im seeing this on both of my testnet sanctuaries

Overall it seems like the Gridcoin community is split on the issue, and there are good points on both sides of the debate

Im still on the fence

"As a long term BOINCer, I know may users are very dedicated to their teams, and would never change. If we waived this requirement the number of GRC users will increase significantly." -Fuzzy Duck

"I don't think that if we delete this requirement, BOINC projects will get more crunchers. It would be much more important to bring Bitcoiners and Alt-coiners (=non boincers) to Gridcoin. For such people, the team requirement wouldn't be a problem" - DC7D

"The main reasons I'm in favour of removing the requirement is because of the 'team poaching' issue when discussing Gridcoin on BOINC team forums/Tech forums (very negative reactions to team poaching derails any discussion of gridcoin with potential target audience), and beause I believe it may increase the effectiveness of boincstats advertising

"On one hand sure recruiting existing BOINC users to gridcoin isn't introducing new users to BOINC, but if existing users can offset the cost of electricity they may be able to justify increasing their computing capabilities for BOINC" -C.M

"at first after deleting the requirement, existing users will get less GRC due to the (significant?) increasing number of new members. Therefore, maybe some will stop crunching," -DC7D

"The number of GRC earned via PoR will reduce. However, the value of the GRC will increase due to supply and demand" -Fuzzy Duck

"If we remove the team requirements we won't be able to determine what percentage of all Boinc work Gridcoin participants are donating"

"I've thought about it for a while and came up with this possible solution: how about not changing Gridcoin but BOINC? By letting the BOINC user join two teams instead of one people could easily stay in their beloved team and join Team Gridcoin beside it. This way they can continue to crunch for their teams and earn"

"What will really happen to the price of GRC if the team requirement is lifted?

The common belief by people who want to see the team requirement lifted is that we would be unlocking the growth potential of Gridcoin mining, and since miners have various incentives to hold GRC (voting weight, frequency of staking, interest) we should see increased demand for GRC and thus increased price


What is the argument for why the price of GRC might be reduced if the team requirement is lifted?

NeuralMiner believes that by adding potentially thousands of pure "mine and dump" type miners who don't care about Gridcoin as a currency, we will actually increase selling pressure of the coin because these miners will be minting some of the coins that "mine and HODLers" like NeuralMiner and myself currently receive on a daily basis.

I thought that was a very intelligent point, and it is well-taken. My counter-argument.... really more of a counter-question was: for every 100 "mine and dump" type miners, how many "mine and HODL" type miners will we potentially add? How many people might we add (like myself) who will invest their own money into the coin?"

"2. To prevent BOINC users from "Double-dipping"
During the early days of Gridcoin's existence (before the introduction of the team requirement), Ripple was distributing Ripple to BOINC users within their Ripple Labs team.

We found that several users crunching for the Ripple Labs team were also claiming Gridcoin rewards. This discovery was negatively perceived as "Double-dipping" (getting rewarded twice for their work done), and was leading motivation for the introduction of the mandatory team 'Gridcoin' requirement to prevent this occurring again in the future.


Statistics websites are obsolete, we have a Neural Network!
We now store all of the important statistics within the client (NN), so when asked how much BOINC computation is being rewarded by Gridcoin we can simply point them towards neural network statistics instead of towards our team statistic pages on Boincstats."

One request that I would like to see considered.  Require team Biblepay to receive rewards.

Currently, we are open to exploit by a botnet.  Its believed we are losing a large and measurable percentage to botnet(s) and it's not inconceivable it could exceed 50% with little difficulty, since this is what Monero, the hybrid CPU/GPU coin is suspected to be at.

Right now, Team Biblepay is 76th, with RAC of 30K, the top team is Team Gridcoin with 4.8M RAC.  I understand the desire to reach out and open the door for more users, but I worry that the current proposal of allowing anyone to receive rewards regardless of team, allows for Gridcoin users to effectively get credit at Gridcoin as well as at Biblepay for no more work (since they can be Team Gridcoin for Gridcoin rewards, and use just their user Account Key to get BBP).  Since Gridcoin users are on some level participating in R@h for Cryptocurrency rewards, it seems reasonable to think many, if not most, will gravitate to BBP since they can buy 1 BBP to receive rewards.  If, and I say IF, they are there solely for the reward and we cannot minister to them, then they are no better to our core users than the botnet.  If we reached the 1% ranking, we'd have roughly 100K RAC, if 25% of the Gridcoin users started with BBP, they'd have 1M RAC, and so if we could not convert them as genuine users, we'd be back to a 10% - 90% split with the majority of the coins going to people outside our user base.  Additionally, by not requiring team Biblepay membership, we lose a valuable asset which is the PR benefit from the overall ranking on R@h which could very easily be top 10 to maybe top 5 in a very short period of time.  Because without requiring to be a part of team Biblepay, most of our users I believe will end up on team Gridcoin as that would make the most financial sense.

I believe the goal to move to PoDC is a good one.  This particular piece of the puzzle however, I am concerned about and think needs addressed before the implementation.

In the end, the question to me boils down to, are there many R@h users we can reach out to that would not join us if they had to leave their current teams.  If so, can we reach more users with our own higher ranking team?

Yes, you have valid concerns.  I have always actually been on the side of the fence where the least the researcher can do is join the team in order to receive rewards.  I have held Rob Halfords perspective on double dipping, back when Ripple offered a chance to receive Ripple rewards for boinc users, if they crunch a certain project- at that time one of the same projects Gridcoin users crunched.  The rule in Gridcoin was those users must be within the team in order to receive rewards, and that prevented double rewards from both Ripple and Gridcoin.

However I saw a lot of scalability arguments against the team requirement and I guess I originally thought, hey lets solve that problem with Biblepay!  Lets make a feature where we have unlimited scalability and open the door to the massive Boinc Userbase (of over 1 million accounts).  So, under the hood Biblepay is now prepared for that.  We can literally handle the entire Boinc userbase if necessary (it requires us to increment a flag to send out multiple superblock payments per day, but we dont have to monkey with that feature until we have more than 32767 researchers on board).

But honing in on this issue Ive actually always been on the side of the fence where a miner should provide some value for us, and with that, they receive rewards, and have more of a propensity to buy and hold BBP for the long term - and be a loyal user (in contrast to a miner who comes and uses us, and pumps n dumps the coin).

So, in light of that view, I think we need to support requiring the team in order to mine biblepay.  We still support unlimited users, but the user must jump in and modify the team from the Rosetta account and join our team to receive rewards.

This way, when we go live, we will not only eliminate the botnet, but we will only have loyal users pulling slices of the BBP pie per day.  This will allow us to grow slowly in an organic Christian way, we can reach out to small swaths at a time and promote Christian values and see if we scare them away.

Great idea, Im going to add two features to the core client:
1) A system wide spork, to hold the Team Required Value (our team=15044 btw, Biblepay).
2) If the spork is active, PODC payments require Team Biblepay
3) The SanctuaryQuorum will be modified to log the users team in the contract
4) The exec getboincinfo will be modified to display the team, and display a corresponding warning if the team is required, enabled, and the user is not part of the team:  Warning - This CPID is not part of team Biblepay - This CPID is not receiving rewards for research work

Biblepay
1.0.9.2-Mandatory Upgrade for TestNet


- Add Spork for Team Biblepay Requirement for PODC
- Enforce Team requirement in PODC Contract
- Add PODC Difficulty Measurement for getmininginfo, and add exec podcdifficulty RPC command
- Extend instantsend signing timeout to allow higher transmission amounts
- Increase PrivateSend Mixing Denominations by 1000
- Add team value and warning to exec getboincinfo
- Added exec leaderboard

** Windows is Compiling **

Hmmm I thought we wanted to avoid having a team requirement?
so that anyone can mine Rosetta without having to leave their research team?

Im pretty much okay with Gridcoin users getting BiblePay and Gridcoin,
but given the incentives in place for that, It would be in my best interest as a researcher to end up joining Team Gridcoin so I could get the rewards for both Gridcoin and BiblePay

What other possible solutions are there?

I think the only way to handle this is to put a poll in for it...  Im relatively neutral, and now leaning towards requiring the team so that we dont give away all our rewards to every stranger so quickly.  But I can see part of the other side, where we want to appeal to the masses. 

Could you create a forum topic and put a proposal vote in for it?  Maybe for 2500 BBP so that you get reimbursed for the proposal?

Then I guess whatever way it ends it ends.

The code in testnet is set up so the team can be disabled if we set the team spork to 0.

Were you going to enter a proposal to vote on the team requirement, or are we going with it?

It might be a good idea, so that is part of the accepted transition of power to PODC.

Im pretty neutral, Id have to think about it more and also check Gridcoin and their pros/cons of the team requirement

Honestly, I didn't really want everyone flooding in to take a share of the pie, but that's just being greedy. So if helping with cancer research is our top goal, then it doesn't really matter if people are double dipping or triple dipping. Now if we want to advertise ourselves, we could always use the combined RAC and have a counter on the website. I think there is more to think about here so we should let it churn a little more.

Ok cool.

So on the superblock creator in prod, I originally convinced myself that dash-central hidden PHP created the superblocks, LOL, so that particular weekend, I wrote the superblock hex creator, hence the reason we arent using the watchman superblock creator that ranks the proposals by vote descending .

So I took a look at that function and I think it looks pretty valuable, so Im going to work on enabling it in testnet over the next few days.  It appears we have two changes necessary to make it work:  1) The biblepay address validator needs one character updated in Watchman, and the superblock proposal ranker requires proposal start and end dates to be really exact, unbelievinably exact, so we need to change the code to allow a fudge of like a week for the target superblock (since we have slow blocks in prod), so Ill make these two changes, then we will need to update our Testnet watchmen, restart them, and create a testnet proposal in the pool.

Ill update more on this as I get closer to being ready to test it.

The advantage here is I believe the triggers will create themselves, and vote on themselves (IE we may not have to vote on the budget anymore).  I think I created that process inadvertently (thinking we had to), but we shall see.

Awesome!

Im pretty neutral, Id have to think about it more and also check Gridcoin and their pros/cons of the team requirement

I have 2 testnet sanctuaries up!

383
Biblepay
1.0.9.2-Mandatory Upgrade for TestNet


- Add Spork for Team Biblepay Requirement for PODC
- Enforce Team requirement in PODC Contract
- Add PODC Difficulty Measurement for getmininginfo, and add exec podcdifficulty RPC command
- Extend instantsend signing timeout to allow higher transmission amounts
- Increase PrivateSend Mixing Denominations by 1000
- Add team value and warning to exec getboincinfo
- Added exec leaderboard

** Windows is Compiling **

Yeah, this version has really shaken things up...

Can you all please upgrade to 1092c now.... and try syncing again please.

Windows is rebuilding now...

Got one sanctuary updated and running and the other is still updating :)

384
Hmmm I thought we wanted to avoid having a team requirement?
so that anyone can mine Rosetta without having to leave their research team?

Im pretty much okay with Gridcoin users getting BiblePay and Gridcoin,
but given the incentives in place for that, It would be in my best interest as a researcher to end up joining Team Gridcoin so I could get the rewards for both Gridcoin and BiblePay

What other possible solutions are there?

385
I run a popular videogame server on a dedicated machine I rent, and it only uses 20-25% of the CPU,
I wanted to run Rosetta alongside it without interfering with the game's CPU, I looked into CPU Affinity for BOINC and there are no options for it,
But on Windows I was able to go into Task Manager >>> Details >> Right Click  boinc.exe and boincmgr.exe >>> Set Affinity
And I was able to set which CPU Cores these should use, after that I added the Rosetta Project, and the Rosetta Tasks created only used those cores  :)
If the computer restarts the affinity settings will get reset, but I only restart the machine every 2-3 months or so LOL
Its probably possible to write a .bat file to set the affinity, but eh, works good enough for me so far

Rob is there anything else you need tested? Ive just been dabbling with BOINC and getting it setup everywhere I can.
Sounds like testing has so far gone very well 8)

===

Also yeah once PODC is released will be nice to advertise/market BiblePay to users of BOINC, Rosetta, Gridcoin, Curecoin, Foldingcoin, Mediccoin, etc

We can look at how Gridcoin is advertising:
https://cryptocurrencytalk.com/topic/48655-boincstats-advertising/
https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@vortac/gridcoin-advertsing-2-expanding-our-google-adwords-budget
https://www.reddit.com/r/gridcoin/comments/4oy9w5/new_advertising_campaign_on_boincstatscom/

Looks like Banner ad on BoincStats is 300 Euros? so $370? How long does it stay up?

Id love to start playing with Google Adwords

386
I erased Ubuntu Server with Lubuntu and replaced with Ubuntu, (I am not a fan of Lubuntu now LOL)
I downloaded Ubuntu ISO and put it on a flash drive with program called Rufus (on Windows), and booted from the flash drive to install Ubuntu

After Installing BOINC, The BOINC Manager didnt have a menu, had to use SHIFT + ALT + A to switch to Advanced View,
then I read that you have to full screen the program to see the Menu, which worked, weird

I read in Rosetta forums that average Rosetta Work Unit (Task?) needs 0.5 GB RAM, not sure if its true, I was worried that was my issue of why I was seeing less tasks running, but I think I just had general issues with Lubuntu LOL, I bought another stick of RAM just in case since the machine in question only has 4GB RAM.

The Options >> Computing Preferences is actually really nice, much more functionality than just setting number of mining threads like in POW

Also my significant other has enjoyed seeing the proteins folding in the screensaver and is now okay with BOINC being installed on her PC (whereas earlier with POW she was against BiblePay being mined on her PC LOL)

I haven't been mining BiblePay for over a month or two, but this Rosetta@home stuff is really cool and has me back in, Im even tempted to get another PC for it!

We need to reach the globe with our message, and since our message is only in English we cannot reach everyone.

I am requesting funding for translators to translate our Announcement Post in Bitcointalk

I have researched which languages have subforums in Bitcointalk
and have created a post on Reddit recruiting translators and have posted about it in Discord and on Bitcointalk.

All 22 Translations have been completed (waiting to receive German):
Reddit Post: https://www.reddit.com/r/BiblePay/comments/7qmt6m/bitcointalk_main_post_language_translations/

Ive so far spent a few hours doing the initial research, advertising,
communicating with interested parties, checking work, making posts and paying for the work.
The rate is average $25 per translation

The translations are currently on Bitcointalk (Vietnamese is on BitcoinGarden), I will post all translations on all the other crypto boards that support other languages, (I did get banned from Bitcoin.com forum for doing this though, I got labeled a spammer, I appealed and they never responded back, so its probably best that I do this slowly)

I am requesting $550 for translation payments ($25 per translation for 22 translations)
and 8 hours work at $20/hr ($160)

$550 + $160 = $710 at $0.003061 per BBP = 231,950 BBP

388
Hey inblue, I hope as BiblePay coin value goes up, we can afford more jobs ads and higher rate to pay interested devs.

zthomas had idea of breaking up the work into smaller units and contracting out that work, he seems to have some good experience with freelancer

===

I spent 2 hours 2 weeks ago and got all of the contact information on the top ~50 bitcoin developers (a lot of them have started other cryptocurrency projects, a couple are totally anonymous), I figured out a neat way to get their email addresses, of those 50, there were only 2 I couldnt get email addresses for and a couple I skipped because they were totally anonymous.

Also because Im in a few other coins Discords, I was able to get in contact with a blockchain developer that left a project, he seemed somewhat interested in ours but is taking a break for now.

Ill try and finish up the Bitcoin dev contact gathering, and then send them all emails and then report back here a week after that, I assume alot of these Bitcoin guys get spammed a lot, depending on how this goes then Ill jump on the next coins

Since its been about a month now, I think a lot of our free job posts will run out soon and Ill have to do another round of posts

I read a statistic a couple weeks ago that there are 16 open blockchain developer jobs for every blockchain developer.

We really need BiblePay coin value to go up 3-5x+ to have a more strong/healthy IT budget

Advertising wise, Ideas/TODO:

1. Need More Graphic/Sleek Website (from user feedback, Thomas is working on this: http://forum.biblepay.org/index.php?topic=101.0)
2. Google Adwords (I think you are doing this Rob?)
2a. From the Dash posts I linked above, looks like you can still target subreddits through google through the sidebar ad
3. Bitcointalk Posts (Ive done this 3 times in the past, example: http://forum.biblepay.org/index.php?topic=68.0, please quote/bump my posts)

4. Discord (I got banned from one Discord already)
5. News/Articles (need to compile websites we can reach out to, can look at Christcoin as starting example, Ive made some posts on Steemit)
6. Youtube Videos

7. Facebook groups? (user akija sent me a list of crypto facebook groups we can post in)
8. Facebook page (Matt runs our current page: https://www.reddit.com/r/BiblePay/comments/7m6v7w/biblepay_facebook/, could use improvement)
9. Masternodes.Online and Masternodes.Pro (their ads are expensive!)

10. Language Translations (https://www.reddit.com/r/BiblePay/comments/7qmt6m/bitcointalk_main_post_language_translations/)
11. Bitcointalk Scam Posts (Im going to write about potential strategies for this, sadly shows high up in google search results)
12. Bitcointalk Original Post (Add more keywords to title, make post more streamlined, add graphics?)

Ive also left comments on Youtube videos, Articles and Reddit Posts (I did get one comment deleted on Reddit already)

Any other Advertising/Marketing ideas?
