Testnet - Test Proof of Giving

[orbis]

1.1.7.9b is now out there for anyone who didn't have enough age to tithe.

You should be able to type:

tithe 10

(Or anything less than 10 should count in testnet).

Sorry,  I wasn't here today
I've installed 1179b.
Now I'm able to tithe with "tithe 10" command.
In Send tab "donate to foundation" it didn't worked.

Thanks.

Perfect, thanks, I see you in the pogpool.

Not sure who these three addresses are, but I fired up two sancs and ran the DCC (distributed computing process) and they voted in a PODC contract @ block 97030.

If anyone owns one of these 3 addresses please see if you get paid.

The main thing I was looking at is the payment; the amount looks correct (we have one every 100 blocks in testnet- this is about half of prods 1.05 mil per day budget).

Is Force Donation and Donate to Foundation still two separate options? I should in theory be able to check on Force Donation to donate... but doesn't seem to work for me. If Donate to Foundation works, then Force Donation works... but if Donate to Foundation with max tithe value doesn't work, then Force Donation doesn't work either. I hope I'm explaining this correctly. It was my understanding that Force Donation allows you to donate to foundation without participating in PoG.

I launched 1.1.7.9 and resynced and all my previously mined coins in the last week dissapeared. Is this the expected behaviour?
Can someone post current block hash to check if I'm in the right chain? Thanks

Sunk818, MacOS testnet version is ready. 

Testnet PPAs are also building as we speak.

Yes, its correct, because 1179 started 500~ blocks or so back behind the solved blocks of 1177, so you will have to start with -zapwallettxes=1 (and also after reindexing reboot once).

Only if  I pass it through command line, not config file. Same happens in Mac, I can try debug it when I find a moment.

BTW, the chat menu is not visible in MacOS, probably because the "About" menu role in QMenu has a special meaning in MacOS GUI (that moves the "about" menu options to the top-left position, besides the system "apple" menu option).

The only way for it to work ok is commenting both lines in src/qt/bitcoingui.cpp

ln 438 // openChatGeneralAction->setMenuRole(QAction::AboutRole);
ln 443 //  openChatPMAction->setMenuRole(QAction::AboutRole);

This way it shows fine as in Win version.

Ok, 10-4 on the chat menu, thanks.  I suppose I can just comment it out.  (On a side note, we appear to have all stayed in sync with POG, which is awesome, meaning we should see in the log the 'Success' for POG recipients, but, we do need a few lines of code added to cover one situation where the user -reindex (es).  Maybe I will team those two things together today.  But these are low priority and only for the release candidate).

On the nickname, btw, I do not have an issue when running from linux either (using the biblepaytest.conf).  What I do is:
cd ~/.biblepaycore
(This is the directory where the debug.log is for PROD).  I place the biblepaytest.conf file in that dir.
Then I start with
./biblepay-qt -conf=biblepaytest.conf
This could be a *mac* only issue then I think.... 
On a side note, maybe try copying the biblepaytest.conf to your Mac prod directory where debug.log is (IE the issue might have been the nomenclature of Prod working dir).

While I jump back in to look at the state of POG, does anyone have any more last minute considerations for POG?  I have Orbis' recommendations about less exec, and maybe a POG UI grid, other than that any other issues or recommendations for us to add?

It appears everything is working properly now.  When I grep debug.log for SuccessfulCheck I can see all the nodes have been in agreement on this version (with 0 errors on any POG superblock since we upped to 1179) and the training wheels have already been removed - meaning this version is almost Prod ready.  The PODC superblocks are still working and paying the right amount.  The heat mining payments of ~115 appear correct, the masternodes still get paid when they are voted (as I can see some do successfully vote in testnet)- all the amounts appear to be correct.

Force donation was supposed to allow you to force a donation through, even if you dont want the tithe credit (IE say you want to send 10,000 bbp this month).

I forgot to look at this, checking...

[Rob Andrews]

Looks good,  I will start working on the web interface for POG, now that things have stabilized (and migrated to a superblock) it should be easier to track.

I will look to add user stats info as well (payments / receipts) and some averages based on history.  I will post requesting feedback as I have something for folks to look at.

Sounds great!

Yeah, I keep considering adding a UI for QT, but I kept backtracking on that because the 'pogpool' command is pretty simple to understand-but maybe not enough.  Maybe I should make a leaderboard for the UI:

Click POG Leaderboard from QT:
We list Tithers nickname, amount, and pog_pool_weight per row, in descending order, -- that might be cool.
Then a grand total.

Yeah, I think I can squeeze that in next.

I attempted to reproduce but force worked for me - you have to click on both Donate and Force to force it (not just force), and enter an amount > 300 for example, and it goes through.
If you click just Donate without force, and try > 300 it fails.
