bible_pay so? ROBOT oni-chann and his destroying this concept with ROSETTA? any steps from your side?

There is no evidence that oni-chan has been able to disrupt Rosetta project task queue.
The only evidence we have is Rosetta ran out of tasks Once so far, on a weekend, and had the tasks queue back up within 12 hours on Monday.

The official response is: Let us make the assumption that the smart people at Rosetta will see that the scheduler ran out of tasks and will be more proactive in the future about keeping the task queue full.

I will wait until I see another Rosetta outage before making any assumptions that Biblepay needs to expand PODC to include a backup project.

Depending on how much time passes between now and the next outage, if it ends up being a short period of time, then together we can scan for a Christian approved backup project, and *potentially* code that in as a backup. But currently, the backup plan is to turn on Disaster Recovery mode 4 which is heat-mining in the case of an outage. (PODC does not have a second boinc project, nor any facility or mode to move into a backup project currently, and that is not slated in the development queue or planned).

The development roadmap is very clear that the next project has to do with a Stratis proof of concept UI, and other finance related projects (IE due diligence for debit cards).

We are also talking in the background about a huge potential project that could bring billions in for our orphans. I want to help the orphans with the most magnitude possible, so the development time has to be focused on the most opportunity-for-orphan per hour.

Rob, who is the lead on the debit cards part and what can I do to help.

So on that project no one has actually touched it yet

and a lot has changed since the last time I took a look at providers, but here is a good article on who is affected:
https://coinvigilance.com/update-on-bitcoin-debit-cards-post-visa-ban-of-wavecrest/

We might not want to work on this until our market depth surpasses more than 2 BTC per day in trading otherwise these providers will probably laugh at us.

But if you want to secure a provider and a minimum liquidity level, and a gentlements agreement then go for it.

Another thing to look at is XML Gold to see if it actually works. We are trying to advertise some type of interface for the unbanked of the world to buy groceries with their mobile BBP wallet, lets say they cancer mine for a month and wants to buy $10 of groceries in native currency with a debit card for example.

If we have to put it off then we might have to focus on getting on the next exchange, in the mean time if that is the case you could start some kind of PR campaign to maybe airdrop BBP to invite new users in so we grow more first.
