We are now solving 7 minute blocks on sancs!  Pretty exciting.  It was a little hairy getting past block 428001.
SouthXChange put our wallet in maintenance and are still in process of upgrading.
Bololex and txbit.io and Chainz Block Explorer have upgraded.

My BBP hardware phone is awesome, I actually really like it.  The quality is great.  I'm going to give my son a hardware phone this week (so I have two in my house).  Had to call someone in Chicago the other day for 373 seconds and got billed a pretty cheap rate :
373   $0.146   ₿ 2753.20   f139b1df68a44681f03bf299c57033dbc176bea955ffdd7dc884f67eaffe0661   
When you make a call you get billed on chain.

Our hardware phone should be out within 30 days!  If anyone is interested in getting one, push me to get the info out sooner.  The hardware phone is about $40 and comes with a US phone number and all calls automatically get billed to the chain and has the same global rates as our softphone.

All this really involves is plugging in the phone into a cat5 jack in your house and navigating to the Config page and punching in a few lines of settings in the phone and it works immediately.  It takes your phones BBP address' private key.  Its an extremely cool setup.

Regarding our long term roadmap, there is a new service coming soon called Marqeta.  Remember we have an entry to eventually release BBP debit cards on our roadmap?  Marqeta legally integrates with cryptocurrencies in the US.  I'm hoping to get that slated as a project within a year as well (after our finances improve).  They require a certain amount of collateral to set up (dont have the details yet but I inquired).

Hi Rob,

I will try first with the binaries before another compile attempt, but the problem is I cannot find them anywhere (biblepayd, biblepay-cli). The wallet download on biblepay.org does not contain them (it only downloads that file with BMSD extension), and the github release page also does not list the executables among assets.

Rob, the softphone is awesome.

I have an Atlanta phone number, so you have to call me so I can say hi.
This is crazy... I love it

I would like to start the sanctuary in the next few days perhaps I will ask for some help.

However my phone number BBP is 0014706047011

Thanks a lot...

Hi Talisman,

Oh sorry, it looks like my last compile only added BMSD into the linux zip, that was a fail.  Ok, I re-released the linux build and now the linux.zip has all the files.

I also added the linux zip here:

Hi Lalex,

Hey, thanks a lot!  That makes it worth programming.
Yeah, I havent had time to call my mom so I don't have much time to call today but thank you for sharing that. 
I did put a hardware phone in my sons room last night and now we can call each other with BBP phone #s!  (I want to make it so you can associate one BBP key per phone extension but thats not released in the UI yet).

However I do think the hardware phone will be ready within 30 days if anyone wants to buy one!

Also, if anyone finds they can't call their favorite country or don't have the correct rates for a certain country, just let me know and we can add that country to our phone system.

Rob,
don't worry about the call I'm joking with it ...
By the way we still need 4.500.001 BBP to start a new sanct ?

cheers

Hi Alex,

Yes sir, still 4,500,001 and the easiest way it to use the EasySanc instructions up in the red sea release.

However I do think the hardware phone will be ready within 30 days if anyone wants to buy one!

Hi Akkin,

Cool, yeah the hardware phone should be ready before the end of the day.  Ill get an extra picture and add the instructions here also.

Ok, checking on the Philippines...

Why are some Countries more expensive to call than other Countries from my BiblePay Phone?


Some smaller carriers do not have bilateral agreements:
Some carriers with cheaper international consumer rates have sister mobile networks in different european countries which means they are able to move traffic around their own networks in order to optimise their cost. Some carriers that do not have the ability to do this will have an agreement in place with different carriers in respective local markets and pay a fee to terminate international traffic onto other carrier networks. This increased cost will be passed onto the consumer.

Certain carriers may also have bi-lateral agreements in place with different operators to achieve lower cost of termination in certain countries. It is also possible for carriers to leverage high volumes to achieve lower rates based on traffic from their own mobile customers e.g. they may be able to run promotions for certain countries, increase traffic volumes and negotiate lower rates.

Carriers and aggregators focusing on the B2B market:
A few different quality bands are available on the market at different price points. Even the top voice providers have different quality/price brackets depending on the supplier as an example you can expect to see tiers of prices that are reflected by the success level of connecting each call, the audio quality you will experience, the number that the recipient sees and even the duration of rings that the recipient can hear.

Higher quality connections will have less hops in the supply chain and better infrastructure in place to achieve business critical termination.

However I do think the hardware phone will be ready within 30 days if anyone wants to buy one!

Hi Akkin,

Good news and less than good news.

The good news is the BBP phone can call the Philippines, the less than good is the rates are about 16 cents per minute.  I posted the reason above this post that some Countries are more expensive.

On to the "how" to call one of the restricted Countries:  By default our softphone (and hardware phone) doesn't allow you to call a country where the rate is greater than .05 cent a minute unless you put in a manual override for the Country in your wallet.

To authorize calling to the Philippines, simply do this:
Click on Phone | Rate Overrides
Add the country code "PH" to your list.

Once this is added, you will be able to call the Philippines.

Hardware phone should be out any hour.

BIBLEPAY HARDWARE PHONE IS WORKING AND READY TO BE PURCHASED




Great news, we can start with the Grandstream GXP-1610 for $35.99.

An affordable, entry level phone with high reviews that is 100% compatible with our phone network.

I've been using my hardware phone as my regular phone now for 45 days, and it has never let me down.  I've received calls and made calls in and out of my area without a problem.
The calls are nice and clear, better than you hear on crackly PSTN phone lines, as good as you hear on digital work phone networks.

To get started, you simply buy one, plug a network cable from the phone into one of your LAN jacks at home (a standard internet jack).
The phone will obtain its own IP address via DHCP.  Then once the IP is displayed you navigate to its web page, and fill in about 5 or so fields (see our wiki page).
Once provisioned it will work immediately and your BBP phone number associated with your softphone will allow inbound calls (and it rings like a normal phone).
Of course you can place any outbound call to any enabled Country (see our Rates list in Unchained) and you will automatically be billed via your softphone (see the billing tab in the softphone).

To provision your phone, you can click Phone | Hardware Phone Settings from Unchained.  This page will show your personalized settings that you can use to provision your own phone.

In the near future, we will add a GUI that allows our users (IE Business use Case) the ability to map a BBP address to an extension.  This will let you control multiple phone numbers and call routing scenarios as well.  Imagine if you own a company and you have 5 customer service reps.  This would allow you to map an incoming call to an available rep.

We also have support for the YeaLink T46G Color IP phone.  Information for that is available upon request.  Its a pricier phone.

To activate a hardware phone simply follow this wiki page:

To buy a phone navigate to:

Let me know if anyone is interested in having voicemail on their BBP phone.
