UPDATE: They just copy pasted same response to me... so basically we are banned from advertising on Twitter now... I spent $25 already, we can just vote no on this proposal now

Strange. Do you think we can get more information somehow? Because their reply isn't really helpful...

Production Proposals / Compensation for Marcus_Antonius (PR, IT, design)

« Last post by Marcus_Antonius on August 10, 2018, 11:54:10 am »

Good day!

I want to add a proposal for compensation for hours of work on the promotion of the Biblepay in social networks during the last three months (May, June and July).

During this time, the following work was done:

1) Creation of graphic content for groups in social networks devoted to the Biblepay. The results of the work can be found in my repository: https://github.com/Marcus-Antonio/BibilePayImages If you are the owner of a group promoting the Biblepay on social networks, I will be happy if you take advantage of my work. The repository contains ready-to-use images with Russian-language and English-language text. Also there are the source files of these images in * .xcf format. If you promote the Biblepay in a non-English social network, you can always edit the image in the GIMP program by replacing the inscriptions.

The pictures look like this:





Preparation and creation of content took me about 45 hours.

2) The Russian-speaking community of the Biblepay was created in the social network vk.com: https://vk.com/biblepay_ru If you have an account on this network, I invite you to join!
It took about 5 hours to create the group and the core content.

3) About 28 hours were spent on attracting Christians to the group.

4) During these three months, work was carried out to change the design of the wallet. Changes in the code affect the behavior of the dialogs "Settings", "Tools" and "Distributed Computing". Also some changes have touched on CSS-styles: improvements in the style of "Bezaleel" and work on the style "DarkBlue" is started. Since all the changes I made in the code concerned only the 1.1.2.4 branch, I'll post the source code a little later, when I adapt it to the current version of the wallet. The modified version can be found a little later in my repository: https://github.com/Marcus-Antonio/biblepay

A slightly redesigned design looks like this:





This is not the final version;) I will be glad to consider suggestions and wishes. If Rob likes my changes, he will transfer them to the main branch.

Work with the source code took about 39 hours.


Total time was spent: 45 + 5 + 28 + 39 = 117 hours.
1 BBP = $0.0,001143 (coinmarketcap.com April 28, 2018)
Hourly Rate: $10.00 = 8748 BBP
117 hours x 8,748 BBP = 1,023,516 BBP

The requested amount for this proposal is 1,023,516 BBP.

I was abroad with very little internet this past month, so I had very little time to check the exchanges. I see that the price has dropped and some of my orders didn't trigger.

I just got back today. I will now check to see if we can get to 2 BTC as fast as we can

Production Proposals / Re: BiblePay Proposal to be listed on CoinExchange.IO

Thanks to everyone for their diligence in investigating this opportunity, and to Jaap and Rob in particular for their financing efforts. Excited to see this develop.

Production Proposals / BiblePay Proposal to be listed on CoinExchange.IO

« Last post by Rob A. on August 07, 2018, 09:45:08 pm »

CoinExchange.IO has given BiblePay a hard offer to list us on their exchange for 2 BTC!


This price is a 50% discount below the regular rate.

CoinExchange is ranked #130 on coinmarketcap with $730,000 volume per day:
https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/coinexchange/

We have filled out their listing form successfully:
https://wiki.biblepay.org/CoinExchange_Requirements

And it was approved by coinexchange.

However, the 'catch' is we applied for this listing last Christmas (of 2017), and it was approved in January, and now that 7 months have gone by, they would like to close the deal within 7 days, otherwise they will rescind the offer.  Unfortunately, the next offer will be 3 BTC if we delay.

Rob, Togo, Luke, Jaap and Chad have investigated the offers authenticity (Rob created a freshdesk ticket from inside coinexchange) and we have been e-mailing back and forth, so we have verified this offer is legitimate and not a scam.

Please vote for this proposal if you think this is a good move for Biblepay.

Time is of the essence, as we must reply to coinexchange within 6 days in order to close the deal.

We currently have 1.33 btc in the exchange fund (Jaap, our treasurer is holding this amount), and he believes we actually have 1.75 btc availalbe in total (since he has approx 1.5MM unsold biblepay coins this month that still need liquidated).

To finance the deal, Rob will loan the remaining .25 BTC temporarily for the integration to be started on time.  This proposal seeks 1 million BBP to close the gap between Jaaps current balance (1.75 BTC and the 2.00 BTC required), and another smaller proposal will be entered if we are short.

If we are over, Jaap will hold the remaining coins in the treasury for our next exchange project.

When trying to create a proposal I get this error:
"Error creating collateral transaction for governance object. Please check your wallet balance and make sure your wallet is unlocked"
Any ideas what could be causing this?

Production Proposals / August 2018 Compassion Recurring Orphan Sponsorship Premiums Due

« Last post by Rob A. on August 05, 2018, 09:23:21 am »

Each month we sponsor approximately 309 children at compassion.com.

Rob, the lead dev pays the expense and keeps a copy of the receipt. 

The expenses can be viewed by navigating to Accountability.biblepay.org | Expenses and viewing the PDF.

We have prepaid 1052 childrens premiums so far (starting Feb 2018)  into the future (out of a target of 1854 prepaid premiums),
  meaning we are prepaid with compassion at a level of over 56% - reducing the danger level for these kids.

All funds raised by this endeavor are spent at compassion.com, with any excess going to prepayments for the future (the prepaid amount is stored at compassion in the biblepay.org account).

To see the amounts we raised in the past by selling BBP for bitcoin see this page:
 See accountability.biblepay.org | Orphans | Orphan Fundraisers.  You can audit the total by finding the sum of all fundraisers.

I am committed to using 100% of the funds received in this months proposal entirely for our orphan premiums for compassion, and anything left over 100% to the future in the form of prepayments.

For this month, we are seeking $12,329, this covers the base compassion bill for 309 children for ONE MONTH plus approx 5% in prepayments.

I am requesting 9,000,000 BBP this month for Compassion (12329/.001428 = 8,633,753)  + rounding up for conservative exchange liquidity price slippage.

All orphanage coins are spent on orphan expenses at compassion.com.

Production Proposals / Twitter Advertising - August

« Last post by togoshigekata on August 05, 2018, 04:01:19 am »

I would like to request $300 to spend on Twitter Advertising for 1 month ($10/day)
$150 for Follow Campaign
$150 for Awareness Campaign

This would increase the number of Twitter followers by about 300
and get us about 80,000-100,000+ impressions

$300 / $0.001537 per BBP = 195,185 BBP

I am requesting 195,185 BBP from the PR budget
