Ok, a little update on ERC-721b and NFTs and ARB (Arbitrum).

I created my proof of concept yesterday, an ARB ERC721b solidity contract, and the test was successful.

This means that it appears that it is worth designing, and releasing a new NFT spec that improves upon the existing spec and enhances BBP.

I wrote the functional changes to ERC721 here in this wiki, to ensure we capture all the requirements in order to implement these properly.

Please read this wiki:
https://wiki.biblepay.org/ERC721b

My goal is to release the new breed of NFTs side by side our old NFTs and then after we know they work properly per those requirements we can write a utility that will convert old NFTs to new NFTs.

No problem, can you please paste your TXID of your collateral and the amount you are using here, and Ill check the collateral using getrawtransaction?

Thanks!

Rob I think I solve the issue, but now the error is that is not possible to find a pubblic IP address.
So, i cannot use the masternode on a NATTED network ?

Hi bro Ale,
So just want to point out, the main point of having a sanc servicing the BBP network is being there to provide instant send services and block forwarding and randomx mining (as that only happens on the sancs now).  If your node is not public there is no way for other nodes to reach your node, so hence the reduced reward.

More specifically you have to have port 40000 exposed to the world.  You can test it like this (use my 1st sanc as an example):
telnet sanc1.biblepay.org 40000

If the screen clears you know its exposed publically.

Good luck.
(NAT is a separate topic.  You can technically still NAT on your LAN, but you just need the port exposed publically for other nodes to reach your node).

I'm pretty excited about the next release as what we are gaining, imho is pretty big.

With the next feature, we will have Arbitrum ERC20 wallets built into unchained (derived from the BiblePay keys).
This means you can send and receive in ARB to any metamask in the world, instantly.
But even bigger than that, the transactions will be confirmed IN A BLOCK in 1 second.
That is absolutely amazing (better than lightning network (because those are limited by endpoints and are not settled in BTC blocks immediately), and better than instantsend transactions as those are locked in mempool, but not mined).

So what this means to a layperson is:
You can buy $100 of BBP on an exchange.
You can atomically swap this to $99.99 of ARB immediately.
You can send the $99.99 to a friend in India on a metamask wallet in 1 second.
The friend in India can immediately (1 second later) spend it in any uniswap pool or any exchange (ARB is settled in every currency and on every exchange).

So this basically boosts BBP to having the equivalent of hundreds of exchanges that we dont have.

Obviously this is just the beginning of our use cases as some may wonder, then, why do I need BBP at all if I can use ARB?
The answer is BBP will still provide permissions, NFTs, orphan sponsorships, deflationary emissions, sanc mining, gospel videos, phone service, social media services, file storage on sidechain, and financial services.

Without BBP what you have is a very hard to use interface (think ERC-721 contracts, APIs, Web3 interfaces, and a limited number of DAPPs).  With BBP you will have the ease of use, and we tithe 10% to orphan charity.

There will be a clear case for BBP+ARB so let me put together a matrix on that asap.

Im very excited about the next NFT release.  These new NFTs do everything we promised, and even more exciting they lock the ARB funds in using "programmable money", something we have not experienced yet on our L1 chain.

Unchained 1.61 released at:
https://unchained.biblepay.org

New features have been released:
You now have an Arbitrum ARB wallet.  Click Profile | Arb Wallet.
This gives you your own (BBP derived) ERC-20 public key attached to the Arbitrum chain and the ARB ERC-20 token.
You can atomic swap BBP into that wallet to increase its balance.  To spend, simply pick any ERC-20 address and send ARB to it and it will be settled in an ARB block in 1 second.
You can also send to any metamask user in the world instantly. 

We have adopted our new ERC-721b NFTs which mint on the ARB chain.
The SoulBound boolean is automatically checked when an NFT is an Orphan NFT (meaning it can only be sold once, to the sponsor).
Since the NFT is minted on the ARB chain, it can be shown both in the BBP marketplace and the OpenSea marketplace.  This gives the user the ability to sell the NFT for ETH or sell the NFT for ARB.

Since we are using ERC721b, you can now atomically buy an NFT with "programmable money".  That means if BBP user A lists NFT 100 for 1 ARB in the General marketplace on Unchained, BBP user B can buy the NFT for 1 ARB in the General marketplace, and the NFT will atomically transfer to user B.  There is no risk of losing BBP due to some cross chain transfer.  This is a big plus for our NFT market as it increases the security of the NFTs.  (When a user buys your NFT in opensea, you have 3rd party custodial risk and payment risk).  This is actually a very positive feature of our flavor of NFTs.  Our contract will be opensourced for review.

Since we now have ERC721b, we have two sources of SEO (OpenSea plus BBP).

For those who have minted NFTs on the old chains (BBP, Polygon):  Please simply re-mint new NFTs on the ARB chain.  Ill make it a priority to come up with a way to back up your ERC20 key from BBP and remember the importance of staying with one standard that hopefully lasts us forever this time.  The new standard seems to have all the features we need going into the future (deletable, soulbound, treasure chest contents, external and internal urls, private contents, etc).

Treasure Chest:
You can now include a private treasure chest URL that is only viewable to the Owner of the NFT.  Include a description of it when minting so the user can see what they will receive if they buy.  Some cases would be a Hi-Resolution version of the NFT, a longer MP4 video, a key file for software that will be unlocked, etc.

Major change in NFT currency to Recognize when you Mint or Buy or Sell NFT with BBP-Unchained:
NFTs are now denominated in ARB (which is trading at $1.60 per ARB), NOT in BBP!  This was done so users can atomically buy NFTs without any conversion risk, and also to allow us to sell high priced NFTs (Think an NFT that is worth $1,000 - with ARB being settled in a block in 1 second, this gives the user a high security and reliable mechanism to buy-sell-trade-transfer large values without cross chain exchange risk or slippage).  So, when you list an NFT it will be displayed with its price in "ARB".  When you buy an NFT, you need to have enough ARB in your ARB wallet to buy, etc.

Hi Bro Rob,
my IP and port is exposed to the world and it's reachable from outside of my LAN but still the same problem.

When I write the "msaternode status command I have this results:

16:52:31
masternode status

16:52:32
{
  "outpoint": "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000-4294967295",
  "service": "[::]:0",
  "state": "ERROR",
  "status": "Error. Can't detect valid external address. Please consider using the externalip configuration option if problem persists. Make sure to use IPv4 address only."
}


Thats all,

Thank you
Ale

Hi bro Ale,

Yeah, that particular error is kind of dissapointing and inherited from the current codebase we run from Dash (will be fixed when we rebase, which should be within 6 months), but the good news is it goes away after a while.  Ive had it happen a few times to me and after waiting a day it goes away, and Ive never had to persistently change my config file with the port or ip.

If you could share your IP with me (since its public anyway with a sanc) let me try telneting to you?

The other thing is once you get this up you can do a one time "exec revivesanc sancname" and it will get you unposebanned and should last quite a while at that point.

Attached is a picture of the April 8th Eclipse path of totality.

Its interesting that it passes over 6 towns named "Nineveh", one named Jonah and one named Rapture.

Also, the last eclipse (the other part of the X) happened exactly 6 years, 6 months and 6 days before this eclipse.

For the naysayers who may think Nineveh's are everywhere, check this out:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineveh_(disambiguation)
Theres only 7 in the US.

The Alt-> BBP link was not fully finished when you clicked it.  Its now been released.

The Arbitrum wallet is an erc-20 wallet built into unchained derived from your BBP keypair.
So if you have an ARB balance, you can send it to a metamask wallet erc-20 public key, as long as that metamask has the Arbitrum One Mainnet chain added to it, then you will be able to receive to that address/network and see the token balance.

I faced a new issue as I tried to convert 15 ARB to BBP. It needs 5$ eth on ARB one to complete the transaction.
Now my 25$ is kinda stuck.

If you send me $4 of ARB to this ERC address:
0xaFe8C2709541E72F245e0DA0035f52DE5bdF3ee5
And let me know the TXID, I can then send you $5 of Ethereum on the ARB chain.

I would also need your Unchained ERC-20 receive address.

HAPPY EASTER, he is RISEN!


BBP-AI is ready for testing on https://unchained.biblepay.org | Social Media | AI

So far we have two features:
1) The BBP chat bot.
2) AI image generator based on a prompt.

Our BBP chat bot has been trained about BiblePay, so it can theoretically talk to you about features that we have and give accurate answers with low hallucinations.  Realize that all the data fed into it is from our public presence so we may need to do a little more work in getting it up to date (like updating our exchanges and mining information).

The value that we add with BBP AI, is we have the capability to discern, inside the model, if the users intent is to run a service on the biblepay network.  (So for example, we define a set of contracts or interfaces, a set of services, that are defined in a way that we teach the model the inputs and outputs and tell the model to let us know if the user intends to run one of these services, or if the user wants to simply chat).  We also discern if you are simply chatting with the bot.

So far we have one service the chatbot understands, tracking a transaction.

So what you can do, is in any way you communicate it to the bot, we understand that you want to do something other than chat, and we track that tx on our network for you.

Pick any transaction that is already in a block, in order for this to work and say to the chat bot :
Track TXID _________ for me.  It should respond and give you all the info about it.


The image generator:
If you type in a prompt and we generate an image, if you would like to use that image somewhere else, such as in an NFT, you will have to scrape the URL, open it in a browser, save it to your machine first, and then you can re-upload it into an NFT and use it.  In the future we will make it easier where you can get to your images just by pasting a URL (rather than the down and up).
