Lets wait one block, and try the test case over.  Because it could have been when I was deploying the changes to the server, and that would cause your balance to need re-read.
However, after each block and after 3.5 minutes, the code is smart enough to update your balance on the screen.
So you should not have "lost it" - check that.

You might not realize this about unchained:  If you walk away from the computer for more than 15mins or so, the session is cleared and the server puts you back in MAINNET.  You might be back on the wrong chain - check that also.

On the video, I need the rest of the info too (the info asked for from the test case).  We also need the test case # you are working on.
Preferably, when you answer the questions, lets put the Question # also in the reply, so I can refer back to it etc.

Test Case #2:

Upgraded to v0.17.0.7
Verified wallet is the latest version
Verified blockhash 117225
Sent 2222 tBBB from core to unchained (TXID=a76c8d94a5e79b24cd786ce3835fd6657dc7e092c81d490eb6e1c11412e0669f)
Core balance reduced accordingly
Waited 1 block
Unchained balance showed deposit
Sent 99 tBBP from unchaind to core (TXID=6de18c769616ea84011018d2b370af76d5b540532e289d1f090702ceaac1efac)
Core wallet showed deposit immediately (as pending)

Curious: unchained cut a 3.34 tBBP transaction fee for a transfer of 99 tBBP

Ok, great on the actual test case.

On the fee, first of all the fee is not based on the amount you send, but actually on the transaction size and how much extraneous data is attached to the transaction.
However, 3.34 bbp is still too high for a single 255 byte transaction (should be about .15 bbp or less etc).
Anyway, this is normal for a while until we get done with utxo staking:  the fee calculator in unchained is set deliberately high to accomodate the data that flows back and forth for portfolio builder (I dont want any queries to fail during this period).
Ill revisit it once we succeed past utxo and onto NFTs.

On Wednesday, as I was trying to repeat test case #2. I send some coins to the wallet once and it appeared.

Today (Friday), I send coins and nothing after half an hour, so I tried again, and it didn't appear.

I created a new wallet, but still nothing appeared

I even tried to recover the wallet using the keywords, but it was just the same.

I must be doing something wrong, as I have tried several times but nothing works.

Its not you Andy, its first of all no one is mining so the chain is stuck at 117280.
I left my miner on yesterday; but I see an error in the log; hang on, Ill try to diagnose this.


EDIT:  Ok, I see the problem here; first of all, its our first daily superblock payment using Unchained, so there is a new issue.
The daily superblock being created has a little too much in it (it seems to not be subtracting the miner subsidy from it).  This is going to require a function upgrade (IE a mandatory upgrade to fix this to get us past the block).  Guys, when you upgrade, please see my new hash to make sure we are all synced.

Anyway this is a good time to upgrade, because the next text case needs to autolock the stakes anyway (that keeps them from accidentally being spent in future test cases) and this next version auto locks the stakes.  It also has a few new features we can test; so lets look forward to the next version, it will be out in 30 minutes.

On a side note Andy I wanted to mention: As long as you have your seed phrase, you should never see any missing funds.  All funds send to and from biblepay to and from the sidechain are trackable using the TXID.  So lets do this, after we are moving again, each time you send something back and forth, please write the TXID down in notepad and keep it for a while.  if you ever see anything dissapear post that txid in the forum here (and always note this is From Core->Unchained or vice versa cause I have no idea which direction you are going) and we can track it. 

0.17.0.8 - Mandatory Upgrade
- Add feature autolock utxo stakes: Must populate "unchainedaddress=nnn" in your config.file to use this.
- Modify superblock calculation, to allow daily superblocks to be accepted.
- Add toolbar buttons for Prayer Requests, Forum to the left menu
- Add Donate To Foundation in Send Money
- Add Portfolio Builder transaction list icon for received rewards
- Add more of our custom icons for future use
- Add icons to toolbar buttons
- Add advanced txdesc HTML drill in from txlist->double click (similar to what classic has)



Ok guys, you should be on hash:

Test #2
Was able to send 6000, then sent 1000 back to the test wallet.
"TXID=3ce97896bbe5d9209a771c13fcf4254720943a1282eb98451025e60304852712"
SUCCESS!

Test #3
I uploaded a new video. 10,000 Reasons. Success!
4996.66

I do like the new wallet, and in fact I am using it as my main wallet. I hope that all goes well
I also like this unchained "social network". It is a cool idea.
I had an idea, though it might take a lot of work. Sort of an incentive to invite people to join, users would get a small commission. But they must commit to help Biblepay by doing minitasks.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the compliments, and yeah, that will be nice if everyone agrees that a simpler core wallet is better, and we put all the advanced functionality on the sidechain.
In addition to the social media features, one big push Im trying to make before the end of the year is the c# integration- this lets a company, with a developer, pay BBP to use some of the back-end features (storing videos, storing files, microtransactions in c#, etc).

Using the new release as your Prod wallet is "slightly" risky, but you should be OK as long as you monitor the hash in Prod against Chainz every so often (the chainz block explorer).  If we run into a problem you could go out of sync, but then if everything goes fine, you will make it to the mandatory cutover date.

I like your idea, but I think I need more info on how we would popularize the ad to get people to try it (for a bonus).  I only have a couple thousand email addresses and the people these go to tend to not respond.  Our twitter feed doesnt seem to help much.  So I need more ideas on how to reach people with something like that, and how it would work.

Test Case #3:

- Uploaded video (Title: The Armor of God, Nickname: talisman)
- Tipped Andrew Scribner's "10,000 reasons" video (777 tBBP)

Hi Andy--

I found your video by Searching for "Reasons" and I added a comment, upvoted it, and tipped you 25000 BBP.

Let us know if you got it!

And if Talisman can tip him too that might help us confirm its working.

The only tiny tiny issue I found is the "Successfully tipped" dialog seems to flash on the screen after you tip (Ill make that into a toast popup asap).

So I just uploaded a video:  TestNet Video 09032021, if you want to tip it : 184,473 bbp is my balance.

Test Case #3:

- Uploaded video (Title: The Armor of God, Nickname: talisman)
- Tipped Andrew Scribner's "10,000 reasons" video (777 tBBP)

Tipped 25,000 to Talisman.

Did you notice, that we now have automatic speech recognition creating manuscripts for the videos?  You can click on your Full Armor video, click the bottom right icon that looks like a computer screen (after you start playing the video), this opens it in a new window, then view the manuscript as it plays.  Ill be adding more of these AI features in as we go such as face labeling.  We can label a face, and it will recognize this face (for searching) across the library.

*** ALL TESTERS ***




Before you get through test case #4, lets make sure you are utilizing the new feature that autolocks the stakes.

In order to do this plz add this to your biblepay.conf:

unchainedaddress=nnnnn

Where nnnnn is your TestNet public wallet key (you can get this from unchained, click wallet, copy the testnet address from the wallet) into the conf file.

Let me explain the reason for this:  The core wallet does not know your unchained address so it needs help.  Once it knows this, it can recognize your BBP position(s);  and will be able to autolock your stakes as you put them on.  So if you have 1 stake, it locks, then you add to the position, it locks, etc...

Please test that too- you can see if your position is locked by putting one on, then go to COIN CONTROL (from Send | Coin Control), and verify the lock exists next to the new stake?

first of all, I lke the new wallet with prayer requests link in a new location.
success: unchainedaddress

Video Tip: yes I got your tip Rob. I also tipped video "09032021"

Test Case #4
This is cool and a great idea. My name appears on the leaderboard but the amount is not there (yet maybe)
Will this actually generate rewards?

I uploaded an image to use in the NFT, but I couldn't find the image.

So I uploaded a video that I made for my church.

Test #5
 Created a NFT called Baptism
 I bought a NFT called Sewer Rat but it is NOT showing up in my list of NFTs.
 I also edited mine so that it will show up in the market.
