How many coins does it take to run a sanctuary?

I thought the dev said about 500 dollars worth of Biblepay. Someone found the number 500k somewhere, but there's no telling if that's definitive.

Another thing: the pool is down. I don't know the reason, but I do have a question about the wallets reverting to solo mining. When the wallet reverts, the cpu-usage goes way down (although the hashps seems okay). But when I clear the pool commands from the biblepay.conf file (thereby manually forcing it to solo-mine) the cpu-usage is as expected (approaching 100%). Thus I'm not really sure if the 'reverting to solo mining' option is actually working as it's supposed to as of yet. And if that's the case, it would be profitable to attack the pool from time to time (if that's even possible now that cloudflare is activated), making the miners that are manually mining solo have an advantage.

The pool is not down, somehow just some machines cannot connect to pool, no idea on the reason yet.

But I have checked the cpu usage as you mentioned, you're right about it, the status of "reverting to solo mining" does not occupy a lot of cpu usage, so I think it does not run in full solo mining.

Hmm... You're right. The pool isn't down because I can approach it via my phone(4g). But from my home connection I can't even connect to pool.biblepay.org, although everything else seems in order and other sites load just fine (I'm posting this via my home connection). Weird.

If you connected to the pool before from your home connection, maybe your home IP was banned. Try to get a new IP by restarting your home router and see if you can access the pool then.

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately my ip is semi-static, that is: in all the years of resetting my modem/router, I never got another ip adres than the one I have right now, although technically speaking it's dynamic.

So I guess my ip-adres is banned from the pool for some reason. If I use a vpn I don't have any problems, and I can also mine on the pool then.

@dev, my ip is 84.29.208.33 if that's any help.
