Now that C-CEX is partially up (on the bitcoin side, not on the BBP side), I have paid this months Orphan Recurring expenses successfully.

If you navigate (in the pool) to Orphans | Orphan Fundraisers, and Orphans | Expenses Paid, you can see that after being in business for 6 full months, we have finally broken even!

So on a positive note, Biblepay is self-sustaining in the most basic sense: It is now supporting 189 orphans around the world on its own!  Congratulations all of you warm hearted tithers!

Although we met the milestone (using superblocks and being self sustaining) finally (since as of last month, we had a deficit of $10k), on the downside we do not have a surplus yet, here is the grand total state of biblepay:

$37,691 income to date
$37,267 expenses to date

(Well, yes, we do have a $500 surplus now), but my point is we still have had only barely enough to cover the recurring expenses and have not yet paid orphan premiums in advance as we plan to.

With the superblocks at 40 day spacing, and the budgets at almost half of what they were when we started, its going to be close, but I also believe we have an extremely bright future, along with the state of the sinking economy, and crypto in general - a very bright future.

(On a side note, we plan to fix the block spacing, the network hashps, and the superblock funding levels in testnet to have changes ready for the next mandatory that may include POL, so that effect should be resolved).
