Archived Proposals / Faucet Refill - pool.biblepay.org
« on: October 13, 2018, 03:53:31 pm »
Pool.biblepay.org has spent 326,100 on the faucet giveaways over the last 60 days.

75% of this activity was based on Jaap's airdrop coordination program (giving away 2000 then 1000 to new users) through the airdrop.

I am requesting 500,000 for a refill - primarily due to the expected influx of new boinc users coming in from non BiblePay teams starting October 16th 2018.

Archived Proposals / Helping Widows in their Distress
« on: October 13, 2018, 01:28:20 pm »
In the spirit of James 1:27, I would like to introduce BiblePay to "Hope For Widows", asking BiblePay to be kind enough to consider that we also help Widows. 

I feel that helping widows will not only help display our compassion globally, but it will also help convince God that we are listening to his commands: to be cheerful givers, and follow his commandments.  We also will be involved in something that is for women primarily (although I am not deliberately singling out females), but we will be introducing some non Christians who have never helped a widow to watch our example, and have less risk of hearing "Depart from me you workers of iniquity... I never knew you".

First I did check the top 3 (via google) Widow organizations, and I do not claim by any means that Hope for Widows is absolutely #1.  I felt after reading their FAQ about what they do for women (they comfort them in a time of grief, they talk to each other as a community and help work out each others problems, they donate money to widows who are going through financial issues), and HFW has more than 10,000 enrolled widows, but I got the feeling when I researched HFW that the money was spent efficiently (more appears to be done with each dollar, in contrast to some of the others who hold meetings in central places and require everyone to fly there etc).

Take a look at the FAQ page first before deciding, see what the widows say about HFW:
https://hopeforwidows.org/resources/widows-weve-helped/

To spearhead this initiative I feel we should start small (especially with our small budget), so let's just start at $300.00 for the month of October 2018 and also, if some would like to call HFW and do more research feel free to vet the organization, and make more recommendations on if we should increase/decrease next month based on what we accomplish.

(BTW: We will be receiving a credit this month for Compassion, so the funds for this are definitely available this month.)



Edit: 
I went ahead and donated since I was already on the web site, hopefully this will be voted in :).

BiblePay discussion / Removing the Team Requirement-Shared Percentage of Reward for Non-Biblepay Teams
« on: September 06, 2018, 09:49:24 am »
If the poll passes to remove the team requirement, what percentage of reward should we give to non-biblepay BOINC crunchers who fully associate their biblepay wallet with their CPID and post a valid UTXO stake for their RAC?

Archived Proposals / September Recurring orphanage premiums due - Compassion
« on: September 05, 2018, 08:09:18 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.


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 requesting  7,000,000 bbp (which is 25% of what we need.).

Due to our low price we will need to terminate approximately half of the sponsorships later this month.
They will be covered by Compassions continued-sponsor-insurance program.

Archived Proposals / BiblePay-Removing the BOINC Team Requirement for possible future Sustainability
« on: August 29, 2018, 02:48:27 pm »
All,

  We have 329 orphans sitting at risk currently with a questionable future.  I not only want to avoid attrition, I want to see growth! 

So heres an idea.  I really think we need to consider removing all the roadblocks inside Biblepay (IE Opening the Floodgates) for cancer mining.  We can consider doing this by:  Removing the Boinc team requirement (being the first cryptocurrency to not require a team for boinc), and making it easier to heat-mine.  (IE doing away with the last 4 block rule).  (We can leave in the signed by CPID rule as a lateral move preserving heat-mining security).

I feel with this change, we can test the theory that more miners = more adoption = higher price = more monthly orphan sponsorships.

Also, as Noxpost suggested, I dont see why we cant write our own boincstats report (as we will still have records of our Biblepay participating CPIDs, RAC, TotalRAC etc).  So we really only lose the "BiblePay BOINC Team" statistics in boincstats, but instead we have our own stats page.  Maybe that internal stats website is something T-Mike would like to take on for us?

So, as you can see I'm pretty zealous for success here, and want us to make a comeback.  Therefore I believe its in our best interests to vote on this change.

Proposed Changes:

- Remove Boinc Team Requirement for users participating in BiblePay PODC (this compensates users for Rosetta or World Community Grid on ANY team)
- Refactor Heat Mining Block acceptor to help minimize the possibility of forks
- Still require signed cpid per block, and CPID must not be within 3 solved blocks
- Remove the rule requiring CPID to be in the last superblock
- Work with a team member to help create our own stats report for a website and/or the pool
- Leave in UTXO requirement for Boinc Miners

Desired Outcome:

- A new boinc user who is crunching for XYZ discovers they can be compensated for Rosetta cancer mining through Biblepay.
 The new user loads our wallet, syncs, and associates their XYZ cpid with our wallet. 
(The new user still must have a required balance shown in exec totalrac to PODC mine).

- The user is able to heat mine with the signed cpid immediately, as long as the CPID has RAC > 100.

This removes most of the strange pool errors in pool.biblepay.org and purepool.


One notion is that in general, I assume BOINC users to have enough disposable income to afford expensive computers for volunteer computing, therefore I come to the conclusion they may become biblepay investors through this process.

And, to counter the theory that we are "giving away free money", consider the fact that the ones who do not become investors will sell off the coins cheap on the market and make us more rare.  So imo, this is an economic decision worth considering.

If the idea is a success, all credit to Jesus.

TestNet Discussion Archive / TestNet Testing Thread - Test IPFS Integration (Decentralized IP File System)
« on: August 27, 2018, 06:52:39 pm »
Welcome to the BiblePay Testnet thread for IPFS!

To install the latest version for testnet:
Please upgrade to v1.1.4.7+



  • Test attaching a document to a new QT Send Transaction
  • Test double clicking the transaction list and viewing the attached IPFS file hash
  • Test Opening the IPFS document link
  • Test the fee charged for BiblePay storage
  • Assess exact root cause of IPFS instability; when ipfs.io goes down, check to see if reliability is 100% when using our gateway (IE files are still always retrievable and instability is always gateway instability), we need to determine the quality level of IPFS itself

How to install IPFS on a Sanctuary (Ubuntu 64 instructions):
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/biblepay/biblepay/master/InstallingIPFS_Ubuntu64.md

How to launch biblepay-qt in testnet:
./biblepay-qt -testnet -listen=0 -masternode=0

(The listen and masternode flags are only required if you want to run Testnet side-by-side your Prod sanctuary)

Synced Verification Info:

getblockhash 53930
45aa03a87251d06b867e4fbb5e24d87970e18176d1739e609366156423a847fb


To help us isolate and assess any instability I started a gateway server (similar to ipfs.io except http:// and running on 8080):
http://ipfs.biblepay.org:8080/ipfs/QmPVMkWe7976YH22quBotbrDMV9tP4qCz9P5tndveKdeGs/hi.txt
We may want to change the biblepay links to go through this gateway to remove instability.

Archived Proposals / BiblePay Proposal to be listed on CoinExchange.IO
« 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.

Archived Proposals / August 2018 Compassion Recurring Orphan Sponsorship Premiums Due
« 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.

Archived Proposals / Legal Formation of The BiblePay Foundation
« on: July 22, 2018, 04:04:43 pm »
So that BiblePay can fulfill its mission it is proposed that we enact The BiblePay Foundation.

The Foundation consists of boardmembers who represent BiblePay for functions requiring a TaxID number, including but not limited to:
Legal Decisions, Liquidating Crypto To Fiat, Vendor Relationships, Vendor Payments, Taxes, Professional Services, and more.

The plan for the proposal is here:
https://wiki.biblepay.org/BiblePay_DAO

When voting to enact this proposal please consider using the following format:

YES - I like the design of the DAO as is, or for the most part, I can live with its minor flaws (such as a boardmember you dont like etc).

NO - I either do not like the design (and feel it is not right for biblepay), or I do not like it in its current form and feel it contains a serious enough flaw to redesign this idea before proceeding.

ABSTAIN - I have no opinion on the matter but I have read the design.

Archived Proposals / July 2018 Recurring Orphan Sponsorship Premiums Due
« on: July 21, 2018, 03:30:56 pm »
Each month we sponsor approximately 339 orphans currently (309 from Compassion, (20 from Cameroon One and BLOOM) and 10 from Kairos Childrens Fund).

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 1019 childrens premiums so far (between Feb - July 2018) (out of a target of 1854 prepaid premiums),
  meaning we are preapid with compassion at a level of over 50% - which is well along the way in
 removing the danger level in the future 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:

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.

I am requesting 6,000,000 BBP this month for Compassion.

All orphanage coins are spent on orphan expenses at compassion.com and Rob will 'tip' in a little extra to ensure Gods money is put to use for Gods children.
