Re: [ANN] Lytix - Proof of Work Masternode Coin

Wishing you success with Lytix. Please keep on!

However I noticed following on Lytix homepage:

The link on the website with the Site Design / Logo - LytixChain Foudation is referring to the page of Bulwark.
Maybe that is not your intention?

Further on the website there is an Market exchange rate block mentionning Data from CoinMarketCap,
Don't think Lytix is included yet on CoinmarketCap?

Hi,

Just started with this and using your hashing.center .
I got following info about payments:
Quote
Time Sent   Transaction Hash   Amount   Mixin
On 12/16/2018 you have received 49 UPX in 2 payments
12/16/2018, 7:00:18 AM   f56ab718c7105cb0a49e957b601a05d57a0f28556b5f0b3e4f14feb89ff2dc1e   28 UPX   10

However, cant see anything in my wallet yet.
Maybe someone could send me 1 coin to test my wallet?
My address is: UPX1TRdfsUQJ2aiYrF6pr15KehbhuLPL4A9wWGW81LjtR8q6RwLMDuXi3kpEyczrCD9sGdnrqXye3fW 257wswv3D1vuoZNCFxB

EDIT: I can see my balance now. I could see transactions and payments in explorer.  I added port 21060 to Kaspersky internet security, and restored wallet.

I received some replies from Mintnodes that raise the credibility somewhat, although I still want to say "INVEST AT YOUR OWN RISK - Dont send capital you cant afford to lose":

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Rob,

Our system will create and teardown masternodes as needed, all of this is automated to keep costs down to maintain our $1/month/masternode fee.

Well Exchanges and Shared Masternodes are two different things, as you know we have to have coins stored somewhere in collateral amounts.  We are always honest and transparent.

I don’t want to go into too much detail of our architecture as it is proprietary information that belongs to Mintnodes LLC, but the wallet coins are stored remotely away from the masternode servers. The coin wallets are on an isolated network from the internet.  We use PCI compliance practices, as I have been the last 15 years.

Mintnodes was started by our family and only 2 people of our family have access to the coins.

I don’t know if it was you but someone from BBP was asking the same questions in our discord server.

Steve.

I was asking primarily about liability. If they were hacked and somehow lost funds, what would they do to make us whole. He was not able to answer. They certainly have better countermeasures in place with PCI compliance (although I didn't ask if they are Level 1, 2, or 3 compliant -- Level 3 being the most robust and arduous for big companies). Still, it is concerning there is no insurance in place to handle such an issue. Given that they charge only $1/mo worth as fees, they'd really have to scale a lot and keep a portion of their profit for this rainy day scenario.

Anyway, if you got a spare 100k BBP, please support them.

I still have some of my BBP on Mintnodes. I see that people pulled their BBP from there, because a Masternode was first started and Mintnodes tore it down again. I would indeed never advice anyone to put more BBP in there than they're willing to lose (not your keys, not your BBP), but it seems like an easy system and you get some 'interest', so it could be worth the risk.

Also, I will vote 'yes' on Togo's proposal on this.
I put about 150k BBP (realising there is certainly a risk in doing that...)  in it. However I was quite surprised there was only 11 % and it was still  the first MN, while I had the impression there was already a MN launched. So all of the first MN was withdrawn again?
Anyway, I will wait a bit and hope we will reach 100 % within a few weeks.

I can see the CPID in the superblock view of this morning , having some reward??

Hmm, It looks like your wallet is not associated to your cpid.  Have you changed your wallet.dat? 
You would have to
exec associate user pass true
To force it back in....



I didnot change anything on wallet.dat. Thanks for the information. Awaiting confirmations on tx  now and hope it will be allright again.

I didnot get a payment either of the last superblock . Staking 75405 in my wallet (1.1.1.7) , Rosetta RAC=28633.
I was expecting a Biblepay RAC  of about 3800... , so at least a small reward should still be paid, but got zero.

What is your CPID so we can Audit the CPID?

Also ensure your CPID is pasted in the pool account settings screen.


CPID =bc841c3ed63ba0cfc68ff2b963f352df (has been in pool settings for some time now)
This morning I did see UTXO Weight = 9 (I didnot understand this,  i was staking 75405.25 bpp) .
However it is now showing UTXO Weight = 75404 , so that seems allright now again.

When will actually the 20bbp per RAC rule get implemented? And when it gets, you can see the required bbp for 100% reward with 'exec totalrac', right? Also, if I understood the calculation correctly, if you have 10k RAC and 100k bbp (giving you 50% rewards), the rewards are the same as if you have 5k RAC and 100k bbp?

You're correct about the reward Smiley

Don't know when the rule gets implemented precisely. Probably tomorrow.

It should be in, in about 30 mins... Ill update asap.

Will the "Next payment" part on the User page of the Biblepay Central site  also be adjusted accordingly?

SHAME 38 ppl voted only... what are we waiting for now? almost week is this scheme same

https://i.imgur.com/95OD6d6.png

I have now 25 k RAC. So this proposal  means i need  500k BPP just to be able to continue mining BPP after 1 April?  

No, you don't need 500K BBP to be able to mine (in the case of 20 BBP per RAC), but if you have less, your payout will fall accordingly. So, for example, if you only stake 250K BBP, you'll get about 50% of the payout you'd receive if you would stake 500K BBP.

To be honest, my maximum investment for Biblepay will be 100k. So if I use this for staking, in that case my RAC will be cut off above 5000. Even when I have 25000 RAC with Rosetta, the Biblepay calculation will be  according to 5000 RAC. That will be not fair enough for me, so i will consider to quit mining in that case.
However, I hope in the end the proposal for staking per Magnitude will be honored, that looks like a  reasonable proposal to me.

Uhm. Guys...

WCG also seems to have the option to have tasks you can run on GPU's (although currently I don't think there are any):
https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.do?shortName=GPU

Also, WCG by default only uses 60% of your CPU-power, you can change it in your 'Device Profiles' settings.
https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.do?shortName=cpuuse#395

Last thing: are we able to pull the processor stats from somewhere (important for the Unbanked function)?
Well, I have been mining with WCG for about 2 years and I tried to accomplish it, but have never been able to use my GPU for any of the subjprojects...

I believe these are lists of other BOINC projects:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Project_list
https://boinc.berkeley.edu/projects.php

Not sure if and how many of them are CPU only though and also align with our current mission of healing and curing

But yeah no need to jump the gun, but always good to look at options
As long as there are no work units from Rosetta, I  am now running on my boinc clients  "Mapping Cancer Markers"  of World Community Grid. And they have other charity subprojects.

Just be careful to transfer BBP to SouthXChange at this moment.  I am already waiting for several hours for my deposit to arrive.
Before you transfer, have a look at last block of wallet. At this moment still  stuck at 35185.  Also other currencies seems to be behind, not syncing.
(I and others have issued a ticket)


I made a transfer 8h ago without issues. But it's true that last friday it took me a few retries to make another withdrawal from SouthXchange wallet.
This morning I made also transfer without problem. Also days before it was allright. But since approx 4 hours wallets are not syncing.
Issued a ticket 2 hours ago. Still no feedback, maybe no or limited support on sunday. (Maybe I have better things to do myself on sunday too... )
Update; Ticket has been resolved 2 hours ago. Wallet is synced again and deposit is available.

tread not for AD your coins but for Best CPU Mineable Coins
why add scam coins... with just copy\paste code and change copyright?
Dont know wether  you are reacting on the Biblepay post (you didnot quote or refer to any posting)
However,  I have been mining Biblepay (rig = Ryzen 1700) , for me it was by far the most profitable crypto during the month of january,
And it is only minable by CPU, no GPU or Asic.

No luck for the last days with Biblepay however, could be because of a botnet or so.
(Presently for me the Cryptonotes Turtlecoin, Dero and Intensecoin are most profitable, but it can not be compared with earnings of Biblepay during january)
However there are plans to adjust the algo for Biblepay, and i trust it will be re-adjusted.
You may consider  the charity aid and the cure for cancer just as a bonus!
And it is certainly not a scam coin, with unique algo and very active lead dev and committed community.

So the mentionning of Biblepay definitely belongs in this thread.

by me, cancer mining looks like a fake...no tutorial,no proofs,no in road map,no answers....more ppl on dicords starts talkin about it  Huh

And your comments looks like FUD! Please do a little bit of homework first. There is a site called Google,  ever heard of it? You can search  and find much about the Rosetta project, e.g.  recent publications in New York Times, Science, Nature.
im talking about bbp, no rosetta.... omg  Roll Eyes  .. check roadmap where we had plan and way ... do you see any info about cancermining? NOOOOOOOOO
Than please  formulate your criticism more accurate to avoid misunderstandings  and it will also help to use a more respectful attitude in future.
That way it will be more easy to focus on your  arguments and not on your style.
 
Well , its obvious,  the matter is still in a test and discussion  phase and has not been voted on yet,  it is  already superfluously explained by Rob.
(I am also  strongly convinced this plan will be accepted by the voters.)

And  i like to point out,  Biblepay is just following the Agile Manifesto principles for modern  software development.
first rule: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
second rule: Working software over comprehensive documentation
third rule: Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
fourth rule: Responding to change over following a plan
(while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more)

Unfortunately the Rosetta@Home project is far from perfect. While Slovak's point is poorly made, the truth is that it is also known as a massive heat-generating project. It has come under fire whether or not the benefit outweighs the risk. Again it is not proper to ask "Who has a problem with mining for cancer?" I would think no one does. However, the Rosetta@Home project can be linked to energy consequences that despite its good intention is also an environmental offender. I am not sure why BiblePay is uniting with them in an all-or-nothing fashion. Presumably it is being designed as a "shield" to the botnet mining currently underway on the BBP network.

Securing the BBP network and its integrity should be the priority, not "mining for cancer" using an environmentally dubious project like Rosetta@home

I cannot think of a University that has more anti-Christian values than the Cal Berkeley system. BiblePay and Berkeley.edu are not just antithetical but it is a questionable decision to partner with them, in light of everything else Berkeley stands for (no matter how well-intentioned cancer mining can be portrayed as)

I am at a loss here but I hope these thoughts do not get shoved under the "FUD" carpet because these are actual legitimate issues to be weighed in the discussion.

Furthermore, I have personally spent time living in Berkeley, CA so I am not speaking from anything other than first-hand experience. There are spiritual implications of donating BBP cpu cycles to the project. We don't know to what extent those cycles are being used for cancer detection & modeling, vs. how much of that research is ported to Eugenics and epigenetic research. It is a very uncomfortable partnership the more you peel back the layers.


Well, i was reacting against Slovaks statement "cancer mining looks like a fake". For me that looks like FUD,  i am myself participating in the World Community Grid and  involved with the project "Help researchers smash childhood cancer", so i know distributed computer processing to contribute to cancer research is for real, and is already connected to some crypto's like Curecoin and Gridcoin,  so it is not fake. You have arguments  of a different order,  for me worth to study more carefully.

======

CoinsMarkets has some new news: https://coinsmarkets.com/news.php

and their header bar now says "Trading will be enabled in few hours"

https://coinsmarkets.com/trade-BTC-BBP.htm

Thats good news for biblecoin.


Very good to have an extra exchange that will be avaiable also for new accounts.
I am only a bit confused about the Southxchange regulation for funding the account with USD from Paypal:
"A hold will be placed in your account for the amount deposited for 60 days, that means your account must keep that amount or its equivalent in other high-profile coins (BTC, LTC, DOGE, DASH) for 60 days,"
Does it mean that when you buy BBP with Paypal/USD you have to wait 60 days before you can withdraw the BPP?

EDIT: I think I got the answer in the customer protection rules of Paypal:
"If you don't receive the item that you ordered, or it shows up significantly different from its description, you may qualify for Purchase Protection, and we'll reimburse you for the full purchase price plus any original shipping costs, subject to terms and limitations. If you are charged for a transaction that you didn't make, let us know within 60 days, and we've got you covered."
...

It's completely reasonable, they can't let someone pull back USD after withdrawing crypto, because the latter is obviously irreversible. It's just a shame PayPal purchase protection is so long. But if you are investing in BiblePay long-term, then it's viable.
You are right. That is probably the reason that I know no other exchanges that have ability to fund from  PayPal. On the other hand, i have just tested to send USD from Southxchange to Paypal. And this went fast and is  very convenient, so I am excited about this feature!!

EDIT: BTW SOuthxchange is recognized exchange by CoinMarketCap, so I am waiting till they include Southxchange into their calculations for the BPP price. The trade volume is now approx. 2.3 M  BBP, so it is an important factor ...
