Chainlocks just started a little while back, let me look into this, always something.

Although I see some disturbing figures on one of my sancs that I am now looking into, Im not seeing Fun on a different chain; Their height matches foundation's height and matches my home node height and matches chainz height;  what makes you say Fun is on the wrong chain?  (Also the blocks solved count matches-- if they were on a different chain my pool would get all the blocks).

Although I see some disturbing figures on one of my sancs that I am now looking into, Im not seeing Fun on a different chain; Their height matches foundation's height and matches my home node height and matches chainz height;  what makes you say Fun is on the wrong chain?  (Also the blocks solved count matches-- if they were on a different chain my pool would get all the blocks).

Because my wallet says Fun got blocks that the explorer says that the Foundation got. Using 279822 as an example:
block explorer 279822 show the foundation pool
My wallet shows the Fun pool (cut for size):

I think that Fun realized and fixed it for a few reasons:
1. They are now showing up on the explorer as mining blocks.
2. A while ago the computer I had on the Fun pool stopped getting work from it and failed over to the foundation pool. It is back on the Foundation pool again.
3. The divergent chain appears to have gone away. Meaning my wallet now shows the same as the explorer. That block I mentioned in my last post (279822) now shows a different hash in my wallet than before. It now matches the explorer.

I wish I could edit posts. This should have said "It is back on the Fun pool again now."

Yeah, I think you are right;  I think fun was mining on a fork for a few hours (this is based on a discrepancy I found in my graph between 5AM and 8AM).
And apparentely your node was subject to the same fork but it recovered.

On a side note, I was able to pull up the tx that Fun sent to your node while they were on a fork, and it got saved as 'off the main chain' on my node (IE height -1).

I think this has something to do with chainlocks.  Chainlocks 'tried' to start 400 blocks ago but as of last night didnt start yet (this is because of the quorum settings which is normal).
I noticed this morning, I didnt see a chainlock yet at the tip.  Then a couple hours later I saw some chainlocks 5 blocks behind.

Im starting to think that there were not enough participants in the quorum to lock to the tip.
Right now I see all the blocks locked up to tip -1 (getblock blocknumber) look for chainklock:true.

So far all Ive found is one of my servers (server 6) is not synced; so let me resync those nodes now and then I will continue to look at this.

Im making the early assumption that our network shifted over from RX only consensus to RX + Chainlocks this morning and we experienced a 'large hump', but thats all I know so far.

BiblePay - 1.6.2.9 - Leisure Upgrade

- Fix Buy NFT process flags (on buy side)


** Note:  This is a leisure upgrade.  This code fixes the Buy NFT process.  Therefore, before you buy any NFT, please upgrade first.


8100 BBP

Ok.
I received 55,000 bbp on my wallet.
Thanks Rob
Fredo

Alrighty, going back to this issue, so far this affected Fredo, Pat and Rob (we all tried to buy NFTs).

First of all the explanation:
Although we tested this successfully in TestNet, during the code merges and the rebase, some flags dealing with NFTs (on the buy side) got reverted back to original values.
So now we need a leisure upgrade (thankfully, it does not affect the server side or the exchanges).

Anyway, this makes it impossible to buy an NFT in a version prior to 1629 (the NFT will be paid for and then go back into the marketplace).

As far as these 3 nfts in question, I refunded the users funds in the pool, so now you can buy the NFT again (once you upgrade!).

I have a very important test case also, for whoever buys the next NFT:  Please, once you buy the NFT, check the High-quality URL.  This URL should have the actual deliverable in it.  You can see it in "My NFTs" in the pool.  (Do this on a *new* purchase so we can test end to end in prod).

That is exciting! Nice work Rob!

Do you mind if I ask if that is using southxchange BBP->USD or BBP->BTC->USD? Or something else? I am hoping it is not the BBP->USD since that does not have much depth to it, which depending how fast prices change on the store front could cause the amount paid in BBP to not actually cover the cost of the item.

Its using the BBP/BTC market on SX;  right now it only updates our price hourly and the pool takes the risk to lower volatility; Im sure there will be wild swings but the way I look at it is our price is low so the pool should be fine in the long run.

That's good that it is using the BBP/BTC so the volatility should be a lot less than with the BBP/USD.
By the pool, do you mean the foundation mining pool? Either way it should be fine in the long run. As well as great for the future of BiblePay!

DUDE THIS IS INSANE. This Amazon integration is literally something that I think no other cryptocurrency has at the moment. Man, I am so pumped. This really does sound like a fantastic time to do a lot of the reaching out to companies. I have been really busy with college lately, so that has been keeping me from working on the email and emailing list too much. But, I am going to re-double my efforts. This really does seem like this has to make the currency so much more appealing and useful to everyone. I just looked it up, and the only way I could find online for people to be able to spend their crypto was to first convert it into fiat or gift cards, and THEN spend it. This really does streamline the process so much! Really nice work, let's keep it up!
May God bless you all, and may all glory go to Him alone from this project,

One quick Q I had for it, though. Rob, are you having to order all of this yourself after we "buy" it on the store page? Or, is there some sort of system by which it can actually convert the spent BBP to fiat and then spend it on the item immediately through Amazon? I am just wondering about how this sort of thing could scale in the future.
Thanks, and may God bless you all!

WOW THIS IS SO CLEAN! I just added a product to the store, and it IMMEDIATELY went up. Insane. So, just to be clear, what would happen if I tried to add a product that was not prime? I will definitely help with getting as many products on here as I can!
May God bless you all,

Also, real quick, how is it that I am supposed to update to 1.6.2.9? I am having some issues with it, as I download the zip file that is updated, but I cannot find the correct application area, or how it is that I am supposed to actually update my existing wallet. I honestly just don't know how to use Github that well, or the file management stuff. I also tried re-downloading the release to see if it was updated, and I still got the older 1.6.2.5 release. Thanks for your help.
May God bless you all,
