but now there is only one pool, as well as vampire users, make investors or new miner stop to join...
I think build up third party pool is a must , look like the BTC, ETH, LTC, etc.
I think build up third party pool is a must , look like the BTC, ETH, LTC, etc.
As said before, I'm working on an alternative pool software. A first version should be ready for testing at the end of the week.
Current status: The pool can talk to the miner, give out work, collect the solutions (work of the miner), identify found blocks of the pool, calculate the shares (tested with the testnet and multiple miners)
Open is some frontend work, payout routines and solution validation (prevent vampires)
The software will be released on git when I'm sure that it works good, as I don't want to see multiple new pools popping up with broken software
It is based on python/django, supports all django databases (but transactions might be a problem for some) and is heavily using celery, so matching broker is required. I tried to port over mpos or another pool like that, but they are overcomplicated for what we want to do and hard to get secure. So a small and simple own software it is.
And yes, I'm aware that this software will be short lived then Rob brings Proof of Research, but until then, I hope that another pool will help stabilize the coin. And if not, it was at least interesting to dive deep into the biblepay code.
Great work Lichtsucher! Glad to have you here.
I'm not sure if you're planning to add some stats but I would be curious to know how many orphan blocks you would be finding with it (if you find any at all).
40 blocks hole occasionally is ok, but if it goes with another and another hole and we solved 3 blocks in 15 hrs compared to 25 blocks in 24h before, then something is definitely wrong
we can use magic 1 step procedure from every helpdesk
, restart it 
we can use magic 1 step procedure from every helpdesk
, restart it Completely agree. And I have feeling that somebody is using our hashpower.
The blocks are being processed, just not by the main pool.
Unfortunately the block explorer has been down for a while. Unsure of why.
Which BX is down? I haven't recorded biblepay-explorer.org being down and it is up right now for me.
Hey guys, just reposting that question that was asked in slack here as I guess there are a lot of people confused with that.
"Any idea why pool is hitting so less blocks? Are we better off solo mining? What is future for pool if solo mining? How orphans gonna get funding?"
The pool is not paying for charity. BBP is a DAO like Dash. It has a budget (superblocks) which is used to pay for proposals, including our charity fundings.
Masternode holders are the ones in control of that budget. They can vote on proposals and approve or deny them.

Charts are on my list. I can't give an ETA though :/
Hey aikida,
Just realised I forgot something which probably would have been a better response than what I wrote before.
Since crypto is decentralised and unregulated, some of the things that are possible with traditional financial markets are just not possible with crypto markets right now and that's why I don't think something like that would have been possible.

Hey guys, just from a practicality point of view...we run on different timezones so it's not the same day everywhere in the world ...at the same time? So I don't think something like this could be implemented anyway.
Alex, you would just pick 24 hours from either UTC or UTC-6 or some other time zone.
Assuming that something like that was possible (which I don't think it would as I don't see any exchanges turning of and on trading of our coin for us every week), I don't think that's really practical and that would mean you wouldn't be able trade BiblePay for 2 days a week depending on where you live (the Sundays on UTC time and the Sundays on your own timezone lol).
Alex, if it is practical for the financial markets, it could be practical for biblepay. 24 hours close time would be important for the sake of the coin, in my very honest opinion. Bless you for listening, Alex.
Hey aikida, I just don't think it is practical or even possible.
If you were to run your own exchange that would close down for 24 hours, BBP would still be traded on the other exchanges so its value would still fluctuate.
Your exchange would then only benefit people doing arbitrage as they could profit from your exchange being "behind" but you can be sure that it will catch up with the other exchanges really quickly every time it opens again. You would probably see people taking their BBP out before it shuts down too.
That's why I don't think that what you want would be possible anyway.

I hope youre right... but try to be new miner. He comes to this forum read all this thread and what he see? ofc if you ignore my posts, slovakia, adrian and few other "trashtalking" users. last 40 pages are almost about huge problems with minning(pool crashes, miner crashes, mandatory updates) no posibility to sell coin(if we cant sell bbp, so how we suport oprhans?) and ridiculous mn fee for really young coin. And ofc how can i forget some posts from new users(post counter under 5) who are REALLY supporting this great project.
If devs don't do anything our beloved rank 666 on coinmarketcap will be only a dream...

This is a new coin still (barely 6 months old). Look around and see what other small coins of the same age are doing? Not much. Sure there are a few outliers but they're mostly ICO's and coins with huge pre-mines generally rehashing other coins under a new name. The exchanges are independent, and most small coins this age have none other than a few that do "internal exchanges" which is typically a warning flag that it might be problematic. 1.5M coins for a MN is a lot, it's not the 30M Linda needs, but considering this coin is based on DASH which needs 1000 DASH for a Masternode and this coin has 1000x the supply, we're still in the same ballpark. Don't forget the MN "fee" doesn't go anywhere, you still control it like in every other MN coin.
Imo 1,5mln bbp for mn is ok... but as i wrote in last year i prefer that thins 1,5mln bbp go for oprhans. It will be uniqe but it will build stronger connetcion mn owner with coin.
How many mn we have now and how much was on start of mn?
BTW on forum is thread about best cpu mineable coins and someone mention bbp there and after few posts other guy (with around 100 posts so no "bot") wrote almost same issues like me in last post and call "strange" coin.
He also wrote there is NO info about is there any pool where you can mine bbp and he is right(there is info in guides but not every one read them).
But on main page is this type of info:"The block reward breakdown is as follows:
100 Reward (example)
10 : Charity (sponsoring orphans, 100% goes to the orphans)
10 : Sanctuary network (goes live at Christmas of 2017 - allows for rewards for running full sanctuary nodes, allows the coin to become a Charitable DAO organization, fully running by the community itself) (Note this is 0 for the first 40000 blocks)
80 : Block Subsidy to the Node who mined the block using POB"
It's a bit OUT of date...
I agree that some information is some part of the forum sometimes needs to be updated. I think Rob is just overloaded and has so much on his plate that he has to set priorities on tasks. I think Togo made a good compiled list of everything on the reddit so if you see that, it will probably be the best to send them to the reddit or even just give a hand in spreading the information.
On your other points, I understand where you're coming from but you have to remember our coin needs to attract investors and have value if we want to help anyone. I don't think giving 1.5 mil coins would help anyone if the coins are worth nothing. Yes some people will make money, maybe become rich if the coin is successful...however...it will also mean that will be able to help a lot of of people. I don't think you can have the success of one without the success of the other.
I do believe we need some sort of grouping as the issue with BBP is that we're getting big numbers.
Yes, absolutely. Horrible without, that's why I posted the link to the PDF, which shows spaces as a more modern alternative. Not a must have, but maybe a good solution for everybody.
As said, it is not the biggest thing in the world, nobody dies because of it, I only know that problem from my own experience, in my daily job that already caused some real problems
(Customer: You said 1 Meter! -> No, 1000 Meter....)We can add localisation on the list of features of the BX. I think I will try to add other functions before so it will probably be a low priority for me for now.
I think you misunderstood my point which was what's confusing for you may be clear for another, and what's clear for you may be confusing for another so the only winning solution would be 1) no formatting 2) only using "." to separate the decimal part (maybe less confusing?) 3) getting the visitor regional preferences which I won't do.
See my first post on that topic:
Quote
Best would be to use "." (US) or "," for decimal separator, and spaces for number grouping -> "$37 267"
That might give the best result without to much confusion.

"declares that the symbol for the decimal marker shall be either the point on the line or the comma on
the line,
reaffirms that ìNumbers may be divided in groups of three in order to facilitate reading; neither dots
nor commas are ever inserted in the spaces between groupsî, as stated in Resolution 7 of the

You can indeed use "." or ",", but for decimal not for the number grouping. That is where it starts to get confusing
The hashes are a good example: "7,443 MH/s"
Might be good for you, but for a big part of the world a really low number
Better "7443 MH/s" or "7 443 MH/s" ("7443.99 MH/s" or "7 443.99 MH/s" are fine, indeed)
I do believe we need some sort of grouping as the issue with BBP is that we're getting big numbers.
Also, as I said at the end of my previous post, I believe that the "American way" is the most common form in the anglosphere and that is confirmed by your wikipedia link.
The BX is in english so it makes sense to format numbers in the english way. I think that form is common enough for everyone to recognise and that's why I chose it.
I apologise if it confuses anyone.
Thanks inblue,
I will see if more people think the font size should be bigger. However, you can also use the zoom function to make it look bigger. Try 110% or 120%. If you're using Chrome, it will remember it and use it on all the pages.

Yep, I do that for other sites already, so no issue.
By the way, I don't recognize this type of explorer (like Iquidus), so I guess you built it from scratch?
It did start as a fork of Iquidus. However, I think it is only sharing 5% of the code with it now (if not less) so we're the only coin with that specific BX. That also means that it may have more bugs lol
The US, GB, Australia way of writing numbers is 0,0.0
Yes, and they are only a portion of the world.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:DecimalSeparator.svg
I could argue that it would be confusing for these people also if I choose to swap '. 'or ',' or started to do my own thing.
From the point of view of a german, do did swap "," and "."
Now I have looked into all the BX for the popular coins and they all follow the 0,0.0 way of formatting numbers.
You might be suprised to hear that, but some sites imply shows the numbers in a way typical to your region. For example, coinmarketcap.com shows it as $999,99 for me, but $999.99 for you. So simply saying "they all use my system" is true and wrong at the same time.
It is not the end of the world, only a minor point, but it can confuse people.
I am aware websites could implement some modifications depending on the region of the users. I did take that into account when I said I checked the BX of popular coins and said all used 0,0.0

I revamped the BX (you may have to purge your cache). The old BX is still available at legacy.biblepay-explorer.org for w/e function is still missing in the new one.
Excellent job Alex, finally if we want to see the latest blocks, we don't have to deal with the recent transactions clutter anymore!
https://biblepay-explorer.org/blocks
I just wish the font size was not so small throughout the explorer, my worn out eyes can barely see what it says.
Anyway, I donated you 1,000 BBP (
) for starters.By the way, it would be awesome if in the explorer you could display a message which was included in the transaction. For now, you can see my message in your wallet in the Transactions tab, then right-click on the transaction and "Show transaction details".

The format for numbers is 0,0.0 which is consistent with everything in the BX and is the way numbers are written in the US.
This format is definitly not the greatest for a lot of countries
In germany, some of the numbers would mean something completely different: "$37,267" would be "37 Dollar & 276 Cent"
Best would be to use "." (US) or "," for decimal separator, and spaces for number grouping -> "$37 267"
That might give the best result without to much confusion.

so they got mishmash too 
4755 / 4755
correct is 4,775
but 4775 is good for nonUS ppl
4755 / 4755
correct is 4,775
but 4775 is good for nonUS ppl
FYI it's not just the US.
so they got mishmash too
4755 / 4755
4755 / 4755
They may have chosen not be consistent everywhere but I chose to be. I don't want "mismatches" as you say. Not all has to be modified to just accommodate you lol.
all world using no ,
Look at your own example and how the numbers are formatted. https://chainz.cryptoid.info/dash/
and infos in cotes like https://chainz.cryptoid.info/dash/ it looks very cleany and representative
exists responsive build for mobile?
and 1 thing= this , is very bad 7 680 not 7,680 diff: 1257 not with , 1,257
