Good afternoon, BBP!
I am busy mining with the updated rx site. Thank you for providing a new way to earn BBP and now XMR!
I have a question about the rx algo that is being used. With the former algo, the KJV Bible was part of the algo, thus the term BBP! Was the KJV brought into the rx algo in the same way?
Additionally, you have us using an older version of XMRig. What is the plan to update that to the released version? Will you try to keep up with the 0.X version changes?
Sorry for all of the questions!
1) So, the new RandomX algo in biblepay is actually 100% RandomX compatible, with an additional requirement. We hash each RX hash with a final blake hash (and an equation to prove they were mining at the right blockhash). The KJV bible is no longer part of our RX algo. However, we still use the KJV bible in the coin for various things. 1) We sync from the bottom to the top. 2) The bible reader is in the code. 3) Our sins list. 4) Our double click tx pop up shows (a list of 7) verses that are based on the RX hash, etc.
2) On the XMRig, yes, we plan on pulling in the latest changes as time permits. But we are not using an extremely old version, its only about 60 days old now. But yes, if we can draft in more devs into this project those things will be more timely. I don't mind doing it occasionally, the non-mission-critical changes are just competing with new gospel features, you see (but of course, if its a security update we will do it right away for example). Im sure you can understand that this week for instance Im trying to release an hourly prize in the new pool for RX miners who answer gospel quiz'es, etc.
Thanks and welcome aboard!
