More crashes today. More reports of MN crashing today (last count 6 masternodes crashed) along with my Windows QT wallet crashing again after many days of no crashes. It got really quiet after 1198 came out.  Existing builds need more stability. I think DASH evolution can wait until existing product is stabilized. And no, waiting 60 days from now to release DASH evolution rebase is not the answer.

Religion and crypto should never be mixed what a ridiculous concept for a coin.

Can you explain your position more? BiblePay has some Christian values like helping the poor. BiblePay thus far donated over $150k USD to charity. My intention is not to boast, but to show the positive the crypto coin has done by supporting charities. Maybe you can explain in more detail why religion and crypto shouldn't be mixed and you feel this is a ridiculous concept?

Command": "podcupdate",

exec associate rosetta_email rosetta_password true

"Results": "Error: The transaction was rejected! This might happen if some of the coins in your wallet were already spent, such as if you used a copy of wallet.dat and coins were spent in the copy but not marked as spent here."

Does your biblepay.conf have tithe=1 and nickname=supporter setup? If you are doing PoG, some people have been able to do PoDC update by using utxooverride=your-stake-amount , then move that BBP amount to your rosetta address (or non-tithe address) then do an exec associate again . There's some weirdness sometimes when you try to use PoDC and PoG together. You're not the first to report this.

Maybe ours should say "SlovakiPay" LOL, JK.

theymospay

I noticed there were 76 invalid tithes in one block about 12 hours ago. Block height 106662.

Looks like many of it was bbptoshi - min coin amount was okay, but maybe min coin age was increased after the tithe entered the mempool.

For me, I used to send with 0 fee. But now that txes are crowded sometimes, I use the recommended fee now. And that seems to include the tx in the next block more often.

Can we include a higher fee? The smart fee calculator seems brokens and it won't let us pick higher tx fee.

A record 4 posts delete by bible_pay. Sad, when only 1 was about crashes.

More serious though, everyone can't open their Windows wallet and QT wallet keeps crashing. Explorer halted at 106814..

Code:
2019-03-13 05:50:21 GUI: Qt has caught an exception thrown from an event handler. Throwing
exceptions from an event handler is not supported in Qt. You must
reimplement QApplication::notify() and catch all exceptions there.

Who is PoG @('_')@ Monkey?  

You don't sanitize the nicknames? Maybe make the parser smarter and filter out anything non-alphanumeric between and ?

Who is PoG @('_')@ Monkey?  

Same address has used also StopCrashingBiblePay nick.
I remember seeing this at least yesterday.

I've had the nicknames:
Code:
PoG @('_')@ Monkey

Code:
StopCrashingBiblePay

Code:
((̲̅ ̲̅(̲̅C̲̅r̲̅a̲̅y̲̅o̲̅l̲̲̅̅a̲̅( ̲̅((>

There's some cool 1 line ascii art here: https://1lineart.kulaone.com/#/

If you want, I can list all the nicknames I used.

Why, is that even relevant or important?

Wait, WHAT?
Sorry, but this is ridiculous. May I remind you that the proposal was not just simply "retire PODC?" but actually "retire PODC in favour of POG?"! So by all that is right, if you now make the (rushed) decision to simply bury POG for good, then this whole proposal/vote has no more legitimacy whatsoever!

So what you're saying now is, we not only give up on POG (which more and more seems to have been in beta stage at best), but also simultaneously bury the ONE system that has worked for more than a year now? And we're going back to our good old trusty botnet-mining?

I hate to say it, but I'm afraid as soon as any exchange is gonna open up our trading again (that is if there is still an exchange patiently enough ...) this coin will dump hard. Sad

PoG was working for the most part. We had some illegal tithe issues (could have been remedied by explicit confirmation count). The nickname can be sanitized. Developers do this as part of SQL injection mitigation. I don't know why code like that isn't there for nicknames, prayer requests, or messages of any type. If its an attack vector, you take reasonable safeguards to prevent it. I think PoG is still viable, but as always, its up to Rob and his 120+ masternodes.

Btw, stop trying to form hate groups on discord and move users over to your own private channels.  

People's messages are not being deleted if they follow the guidelines here.  

Your messages won't be deleted if they are respectful and helpful and contain the Full truth (not half truths as yours and Nokos have been).

Also, Please stop being disrespectful on our forum.

Thanks for taking our chain down Sun; thats one thing Ive always disliked is hackers in prod.  

If you can't admit weakness in the BBP code, how do you expect to make a better product? You can't admit that not sanitizing the nickname or using a homebrew serialization method is not best coding practice? So far, you can rarely admit you were wrong which means everyone around you by default is wrong. That's no way to live a life nor is a good way to have relationship with others. Why do you think everyone on the BiblePay team (except some devs) are all gone?  You think people like being called "dimwit" and accused of wrongdoing all that time?

I admit I'm human and weak at times. It happens to all of us. Being able to admit your vulnerability and work on your shortcomings, makes you a stronger person in Faith. I hope you can do the same and relate to all of us in a way that earns respect and shows you as a spiritual and sacrificial leader.

While I know that this has been a frustrating week, let's all take a second to thank MIP/Rob for the tireless dedication they've shown towards fixing these issues. It might feel a little chaotic, but those of us wanting more transparency and clarity in the process are getting it, and now we all know everything that goes into new feature launches and dealing with unforeseen circumstances. I'm sure we'll do things a bit differently in the future, and there are some lessons to be learned no doubt, but let's not forget to have some gratitude either.

Don't get discouraged; we'll come out of this and be able to focus on the mission.

One of the changes I'd like to see is not to use letters in builds.

Everyone that is not compiling the source themselves are confused now. Is it 1.1.9.9a or g?

Some are downloading the binary from biblepay.org/wallet while others are getting the Linux PPA.

We just need to know what we're dealing with. Many of us are ready to help mine the difficulty down with hundreds of core.

I guess we will have to compile the source to be sure: https://www.reddit.com/r/BiblePay/comments/6ummuj/how_to_mine_biblepay_on_linux/

as a group, we were a much more cohesive community a year ago than we are now.

personal infallibility of epic proportions will do that to a group.
LOL, the original group is still intact except for the troublemakers - which YOU are part of, and thats why Your out.


LOL, get real Rob. You think you know everything and do everything, but it just shows how little you know, especially how to treat people with respect. You crave respect but you don't know the first thing about how to earn respect. I don't work for you and never have. I'm here for the community and to insulate them from your boorish, arrogant, and childish behavior.
