Re: [ANN] Firo (FIRO) - Implementing ZKP privacy without trusted setup
Chainlocks activated on Firo. Why is it needed and how does it work?
Read about it more here: https://firo.org/2021/01/28/chainlocks-activated-mainnet.html
Nice work. I'm really late to the game and (unfortunately) discovered FIRO just 2 weeks ago by chance. Now I'm trying to mine some with 1 GPU (*cough*).
In the explanation link you provided, you state that "we are the second project to implement Dash's chainlocks. I think Biblepay has implemented them for months now, if I'm not mistaken, so maybe you're not the only ones to do so.
Keep up the good work!
Re: [ANN] [CRP] | cranepay | CPU Only | YesPoWer | True Cryptocurrency
Lol, found this thread more or less by chance. 
I still have a couple of cryply from some years ago. Is this project still alive and worth the effort to exchange them into cranepay? Looks quite dead in here, tbh.

Re: BiblePay | 10% to Orphan-Charity | RANDOMX MINING | Sanctuaries (Masternodes)
Thanks for the Tips. With hugepages enabled and 12 threads Im getting some more H/s. But I still have a huge difference between the two identical servers. Both running the same command. And htop shows 99-100% CPU utilization in both servers.... Very strange....
EDIT:
With 12 cores and hugepages enabled, the difference is even bigger:
Server1:
[2020-04-14 11:07:12.505] speed 10s/60s/15m 1655.8 1657.6 1654.0 H/s max 2204.9 H/s
Server2:
[2020-04-14 11:05:46.498] speed 10s/60s/15m 6188.6 6223.6 6235.3 H/s max 6273.5 H/s
Any idea what I can check? As said, both servers are showing 12 cores at 100% cpu utilization. (htop)

Well, the last idea for me would be: is it possible that one server keeps the CPU at some weird power saving mode? You can quickly check this with "lscpu" having a look at the MHz or you can (if it's really the same hardware all in all) compare the CPU temperature under full load with "sensors" (package lm-sensors). Good luck!

That doesn't seem right. Are you sure you are starting them with the same command/script from the same operating system? I guess you have ubuntu, plz check with "htop" for the CPU load.
btw: some tipps for xmrig:
- use the number of physical threads your System has, which is 12 (2x6), not 24
- for slightly better performance enable "hugepages" in your system or start the miner as root (xmrig can configure RAM itself)
- for even better performance you could enable "1GB-hugepages" (just google xmrig 1gb-hugepages ubuntu), but this would require a lot more RAM than you currently have (at least 40 GB)

Wait, what? So this thread is done and we suddenly move everything to the BBP forum? And why is this mayor announcement coming from a user "Gridcoin" and not from "bible_pay"?
Anyway, registration at forum.biblepay.org is still not working, because apparently the Pope's last name is not Bergoglio???

Re: BiblePay | 10% to Orphan-Charity | RANDOMX MINING | Sanctuaries (Masternodes)
new bbprig: no problems on Win10 x64 as well as Ubuntu 18.04 x64. 
Regarding the Quiz: awesome stuff, I tried it yesterday and it worked just fine, although I have to admit that (as a non-native speaker) I need the KJV bible for that, otherwise I would never think of some of the words used there.
One question though: where do the coins for the quiz reward come from? Is this some part of the monthly budget for advertising etc.?

Re: BiblePay | 10% to Orphan-Charity | RANDOMX MINING | Sanctuaries (Masternodes)
When I updated the wallet, I replaced wallet.dat in the new BiblePay folder with wallet.dat from the old BiblepayEvolution folder. If wallet.dat was missing, would my correct balance show on the Overview tab and with the command 'listaddressbalances'?
Also I am not sure why I am not listed on the Leaderboard. Boinc is running fine and my contribution history is shown on the WCG website. Maybe I should back up wallet.dat, uninstall the wallet and start from scratch?
Quote
"Error!": "Sorry, you must set up an external purse to send GSC transmissions. Please type 'exec createpurse help'."
Not sure why this happened, since I haven't changed anything for weeks and it always worked just fine. Anyway, unlocking the wallet and then performing "exec createpurse help" solved it and I'm now in the leaderboard again.Re: BiblePay | 10% to Orphan-Charity | POBH CPU | Sanctuaries (Masternodes)
Followed instructions but things are even worse. I've lost over half of my coins since updating 2 machines to 1.5.0.7. I assume I made a mistake during the updates.
That sure sounds like you were on a fork chain by using the older wallet. So the coins you "lost" were probably never legit in the first place, but mined on the fork chain and therefore invalid.
Now that you are synced with the chain you shoud be seeing the correct amount of coins. For a more detailled view you can use the command "listaddressbalances 0.1".
Re: BiblePay | 10% to Orphan-Charity | POBH CPU | Sanctuaries (Masternodes)
Dave, can you please tell me if the XMR inquiry tab is still down for you also? Its up for me now.
It's still the same behaviour (I think) as before, but now I realized the problem by testing a bit more: the XMR plugin/frame is blocked by adblockers (no matter which one). As soon as I deactivated those, it worked just fine.
Re: BiblePay | 10% to Orphan-Charity | POBH CPU | Sanctuaries (Masternodes)
Can you give us a screenshot of the XMR tab not populating? Thats also not happening on any of my machines, and not reported anywhere.
Is it that you just have to paste the address in and click lookup?
Sure, no problem. Here is a screenshot. It happens on all web browsers but was working fine just a couple days ago.
The XMR tab looks exactly the same for me and has never looked anything different. I thought it wasn't implemented yet.
Tested this on different browsers (FF, Chrome, Vivaldi) in "normal" and "private" mode.
Other than that I have no problems with the pool whatsoever, so this cannot be the reason for your mining issues.
Thanks for the tip with minexmr.com, I see my stats there just fine.
Re: BiblePay | 10% to Orphan-Charity | POBH CPU | Sanctuaries (Masternodes)
Thank you Rob for your detailed answers. I'm excited to see what the next couple of days hold in store for us. Right now the pool seems to find blocks quite nicely.
Re: BiblePay | 10% to Orphan-Charity | POBH CPU | Sanctuaries (Masternodes)
Hello all,
I discovered yesterday that the mandatory upgrade was taking place and upgraded my wallet and also my masternode. Everything went smoothly.
Just a couple of quick questions:
1. What is gonna happen to PODC now? Is it (going to be) deprecated, or continuing as before? Is there some kind of prognosis about the profitability PODC vs. BBB/XMR RandomX?
2. My wallet now shows the following versionreport:
3. I tried the NOMP pool for RandomX and it works just fine for me (except that my Win10 machine has its RAM too crowded to provide huge pages *lol*). The pool pays matured blocks right away, that means it doesn't collect any balances up to a payout level, right? Is the payout method the same for BBP and XMR? (not that I'm expecting much of a payout anyway with my 2 CPUs
)
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!
God bless you all in these troublesome times.

Re: BiblePay | 10% to Orphan-Charity | POBH CPU | Sanctuaries (Masternodes)
Just received this message when I did an exec rac:
"Error": "Your CPID is linked to your CPK, but we are unable to find your research records in WCG; most likely because you are not in team BiblePay yet.",
I've been doing just fine over the last several days without being in team Biblepay. Was the team restriction changed again? Thanks!

I've been doing just fine over the last several days without being in team Biblepay. Was the team restriction changed again? Thanks!
Ok, looking at this issue (not linked cpids, truncated CPID info):
The problem has been resolved. (The technical reason was the WCG info we read was cut off at that particular time - but when rescanned - all data came in).
So as a user, if you want immediate results please restart biblepay and let it re-load the cpids - then exec rac should work - or you can simply wait ~4 hrs, and during the next block cycle (within 102 blocks) it will repopulate the leaderboard. (The sancs will automatically repopulate at the next mid-cycle).
Did anyone else miss the superblock reward because of this? My wallet sent a GSC transmission at block 174559, but I did not receive the payment at 174680.

All I'm asking for is for you to explain your position in detail. I've been answering your posts but this seems to be a one way endeavor (you just complain more with a baseless complaint).
@Rob: his problem is NOT a hypothetical ability to mine with GPU, but a now existing INability to mine with a high power CPU.
@whyme: why don't you redirect your ryzen against WCG and do some PODC instead of simple "heat mining"?

It seems SouthXchange added a 9th decimal to all its BTC markets.
So we can now trade BBP with a finer grain spread.

Hello everyone,
I haven't really been active the last couple of months, but since yesterday I'm trying the external miner on the NOMP pool. Really nice work so far!
Rob, you mentioned the pool found a block somewhen today. How is the payment for the blocks working? Are they paid as soon as they have matured, or once per day, per week etc.?
Another, unrelated, question: I saw that the Sanctuary Payments are constantly dropping since last week (it's below 1k bbp, going as low as 680), although the number of Sancs has not really increased for weeks or months. How is that calculated?
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

So, is this crap finally dead? No action on the webpage for months, no updates, no activity in discord except some empty promises now and then.
No one wants to buy this scam coin even at the 1 sats it's sitting on for weeks, and why would they?
Just say that it's failed and you ripped off all your investors like so many other coins and we can finally move on ...

Re: BiblePay | 10% Charity | POBH CPU | Sanctuaries (Masternodes) | Orphans
** Cameroon Integration Testing this week **
Note: Cameroon one is planning on releasing the code on their end to prod this week so we can go live soon with POOM.
POOM means you can sponsor an orphan at home personally with Cameroon using fiat or BBP for the monthly expense, referencing the BiblePay Orphan ID (in POOM).
This will then lock your orphan in providing you with rewards from the GSC Cameroon-One campaign (in BBP!)
Note: I will need to set up a temporary campaign in Prod for integration testing only this week. I will be setting up a very small version of Cameroon-One (with 1% of the normal rewards). This is just to ensure things are working properly. Please realize the rewards I receive for this test are actually based on real orphans that I sponsored with real money over 30 days ago (with Anna in Global Giving).
Starting later this month when we switch to the real Cameroon One campaign, we will start over with the voted in budget (50% of the GSC budget).

Wow, that sounds awesome! Will the FIAT sponsoring system be available worldwide or will there be any restrictions on countries/credit card companies etc.?
Also, will the orphan expenses get an anually "donation receipt" or something like that to declare at the tax office?
Re: BiblePay | 10% Charity | POBH CPU | Sanctuaries (Masternodes) | Orphans
No problem - and on a side note - if you were trying to find a way to use the coin age of an unlocked sanctuary - it is not possible, as the wallet will skip by those amounts - and if a hacker modifies the wallet to force it in the gsc transmission, the sanctuaries will skip by those points anyway (rewarding 0 for them) - just like the sancs skip by 666 tithe variations.
So the only way to start pogging from an unlocked sanc coin, is to run it through the bankroll command first. (Or spend it into a different amount).
Well, not really, since I specifically left those coins unchecked in coin control before sending "exec sendgscc". But it seems that didn't do the trick.
Be that as it may, good to know that there are mechanisms in place for this, although I'm not completely sure why this is necessary.
