Parallel Paths for BiblePay - Future IT and Roadmap
By: Rob Andrews - Founder
We learned a lot in 2018 that was not readily apparent during launch, and as in all businesses, we need to make adjustments in order to be viable. Our core vision is not changing: We still benefit orphans by giving 10% of our monthly emission, we are partially green on our mining side (our cancer miners are doing valuable work), we are CPU based - therefore anyone can mine us, we are Christian at our core - but appeal to everyone as a utility, we are deflationary and appeal to conscious investors who would like to see a more Christian investment, we have an intelligent team capable of taking us to our destination, we spread the gospel through the blockchain, and we innovate new gospel features.
However, with the rapid pace of changes in this space, it is understandable we need to make some changes unless we wish to stagnate.
One major change to our roadmap is our official position on Stratis. Although we still stand behind stratis and their core mission, and wish to remain informed and align ourselves with the potential value in the stratis codebase, many factors influence using stratis-c# as the primary production platform. The considerations being evaluated include: The latest bitcoin security commits, segwit, BLS and BLS secret-sharing, Dash's evolution commits, the lightning network, on chain storage, etc. In general, I want to first give kudos to the main devs of stratis. They are doing something almost impossible in order to get stratis to be compatible with the latest bitcoin version. Where we have to make our decision however, is weighing the benefits of the most cutting edge - to be released features in bitcoin and dash. Biblepay has discovered that it needs certain boilerplate abilities, and, pending IPFS integration, maps to IPFS, Segwit and potentially some of the latest Dash features (for reasons explained later).
Additionally, there are over 100 features that have been added to bitcoin and dash-QT, that the existing features users have become very accustomed to (for example coin control), the HD wallets supporting features, etc. In light of this, I will be recommending that we adjust our roadmap to move stratis to 'R&D (research and development)' for future consideration and integration, but we move the Dash rebase to our more short term priorities. The goal is for us to do the due diligence on rebasing biblepay to have the latest dash features, so that we can leverage some of the latest features to store our IPFS relationship in a more resilient manner (IE our business objects). In summary, this means pushing Stratis out to 2022 and considering it an R&D project, and moving Dash Rebase to June 2019. Also relying on Dash's release as our PR event to be released with any other large BBP feature that is worthy of a giant PR event.
Changes for IPFS:
IPFS allows BiblePay to store files on our own network in a decentralized way. To use IPFS efficiently, we need to become a private IPFS network. This requires two additional features to be added to our core (private swarming and leased-pinning).
NOTE: R&D test cases have proven IPFS can run in its own private network with a BiblePay swarm key, can auto-pin successfully, and IPFS mining can be made provable with range requests.
Reasons for IPFS:
There are many very useful reasons biblepay would want IPFS: Allows us to store business objects (think letters, expenses, revenue, contacts, object-votes, gospel-links, Christian-video-uploads, etc). Realize that storing business objects gives BiblePay a revenue stream. A revenue stream cements BiblePay as a utility - and that is important over the long term so that we always pass the Howey test. Passing the Howey test allows us to be listed on the largest most credible exchanges. It also shields us from legal damage, and allows us to partner with the most credible partners.
Reasons IPFS cannot be at the Sanctuary level:
There are very important reasons to first explain that Sanctuary investments are important for BiblePay's sustainability (investors buy sancs for ROI, and that allows us to fund our orphan operations). However, the harder we make biblepay to setup sancs, the harder it is for an investor to gain access to the investment. Therefore, to continue to be compatible with turnkey masternode services such as GIN and Apollon, we must not force hard requirements on sancs, such as requiring them to host IPFS files. If we do require a sanc to host a public IPFS node (with firewall requirements, public data sharing) we also risk a model that penalizes sanc payments when some 'investor' sancs do not perform. Therefore it is recommended to leave Sanctuaries as they are; not hosting IPFS files.
Reasons IPFS should be at the mining level:
So that we can offer turnkey Sanctuaries, we may offer IPFS mining.
The concept of a content economy:
The content economy is a concept Rob is considering for BiblePay. This is an environment where the user becomes more of a Christian community member. In this model, users are rewarded in BBP for doing important tasks, such as watching a Christian video upload and voting on it. (The users UTXO weight in the vote would drive the net vote weight, as the assumption is those with more weight hold more voting power). Consider that one with low weight could otherwise destroy the credibility of the poll-object.
In this model, Christians find worthy youtube videos that edify other users, and upload the video in the 'Christian Video upload page'. Most of the rewards would be paid by distinct UTXO weight to the voters. This would reward those that spend the time in evaluating items with the actual rewards.
(We will need to discuss giving the ability to cite bad votes from one community member to another, such as : Report Voter - with enough votes against a member we may consider adjusting a voters reputation score).
Outgoing orphan letters may also be voted in the same way (IE in general, any object marked as votable will have a voting list available, and apt for rewards).
Pay-to-preach sermons can be recorded by a community member and uploaded as a Christian video. The video would be voted in an identical way as other Christian video uploads. Rob is working on testing an opensource video upload tool to be integrated in that will automatically convert a youtube video into an IPFS document upload.
One of the goals of the content-economy is to make BiblePay a platform that appeals to Christians so they feel comfortable to come back and actually check it for new content.I envision making BiblePay into a useful platform, one in which Christian's feel compelled to regularly use.One of the use cases I envision is having members pick a very edifying subject, such as Rapture, and uploading Christian videos only on Rapture for the Rapture area. Then, those interested in Rapture log in every day and follow the Rapture area, etc. Other areas such as end-time-visions, can be created etc.
To have PODC or No-PODC:Realize, that IPFS mining will only affect the heat miners. IPFS mining modifies POBH to be IPFS-POBH mining, a greener blend - and PODC still exists in this scenario and plays well with IPFS.
However, one concept we will be discussing in a new dedicated forum thread is the viability of POOM (proof of orphan mining). This is only a concept, and could potentially replace PODC. The core of the concept is re-directing the electric costs used for PODC into personal monthly orphan sponsorships. And creating a sanctuary review process to individually approve each individual orphan receipt (with a governance vote good for 30 days). In this scenario, we trade the PODC electric expenses for monthly orphan sponsorships, which could be very valuable for our community - since it is estimated that we could sponsor over 1000 monthly orphans with the equiv. electric savings. (POOM is also interesting in the sense that it solves our centralized fiat-liquidation vendor payment risk issue(s)).
What are the devs working on:
Additional updates:
Tron is a script that "fights for the User." Think of it as a tech-on-a-thumb-drive that aims to automate ~85% of the tedious work in cleaning a Windows system, with the understanding that some things are better left to the discretion of the tech. It is built with heavy reliance on community input and updated regularly.
Bug reports, suggestions etc are welcome. If you have issues with this release, post a top-level comment and myself or one of the mods will answer, typically in <24 hours.

For the hell of it I set up a Lightning node on my RaspberryPi. I have run bitcoin full nodes in the past, and with them you sync with the blockchain and then keep them on to relay and record. However, with Lightning, I see that I need to connect to other nodes, open channels, and fund the channels...
Most of the guides I have seen do not go far enough describing what to actually do. They tell you how to get a node installed (very helpful), how to open and fund channels, but not actually what happens next or how you might strategically choose a channel... it's like "hey, you made it work, good on you! kthxbye"
So... Hello World. I have a Lightning node set up. What the fuck do I do next to help the ecosystem in the best possible way? What does it mean if I open a channel with 100 others but fail to fund the channels? How can I tell if my channel has ever been used?
Thanks in advance.

The act of reentry into the market will be as simple as “on chaining” your USDAP to Bitcoin Air. This event will occur through the burning of USDAP and the minting of Bitcoin Air at the current market rate. This action, called on chaining, will cause a rise in circulating supply, along with a rise in market capitalization to make sure no other holder takes a negative impact by reentry to the market.

There have been many recent posts about the blackmail email scam, so I have written this post and will keep it stickied until the posts about the scam die down. If you are reading this because you have received one of these emails and you are worried, you can stop worrying. The blackmail email scam is a spam campaign that is sent out to thousands of addresses at a time. The threats are lies and you do not have anything to worry about. In many cases, the emails will contain information about you such as your name, part or all of your phone number, and your password. The emails may also look like they were sent from your own email address. The data is gathered from data breaches, and if the email looks like it came from your account that is due to email spoofing. You can use the service Have I Been Pwned? to see if you are in any publicly known data breaches.
Here are some news articles about this scam. Here is a story from Brian Krebs, and here is a story from the New York Times.
Below are a few examples, but if you receive an email that is similar but not the same as the examples you see, that does not matter and does not mean that the email is real. The spammers constantly switch up their templates in order to bypass spam filters, so it's normal to receive an email that hasn't yet been posted online.
Hey there
So I am the hacker who cracked your email address and device a few weeks back.
You typed in your pwd on one of the sites you visited, and I intercepted that.
Here is your password from (redacted) upon time of compromise: (redacted)
Obviously you can can change it, or even already changed it.
However it won't really matter, my malware modified it every time.
Do not really try to contact me personally or find me.
Via your email, I uploaded harmful code to your Operation System.
I saved your entire contacts together with buddies, fellow workers, loved ones along with a entire history of visits to the World wide web resources.
Also I set up a Virus on your system.
You aren't my only target, I generally lock computers and ask for a ransom.
But I was hit by the web pages of romantic material that you normally stop by.
I am in shock of your own fantasies! I have never ever noticed anything at all like this!
Consequently, when you had enjoyment on piquant web-sites (you know what I am talking about!) I made screenshot with utilizing my program from your camera of yours device.
There after, I put together them to the content of the currently viewed site.
There will certainly be giggling when I send these pics to your connections!
Nevertheless I am certain you do not need this.
Therefore, I expect to have payment from you for my silence.
I feel $859 is an satisfactory price for this!
Pay with Bitcoin.
My Bitcoin wallet is 15jqya6ssxvGgyzxU1DABDhM8NoGADbj9Z
If you do not really understand how to do this - submit in to Google 'how to transfer money to the bitcoin wallet'. It is easy.
Immediately after getting the given amount, all your files will be right away destroyed automatically. My computer virus will also get rid of itself through your operating-system.
My Trojan viruses have auto alert, so I know when this specific e mail is read.
I give you 2 days (48 hours) to make a payment.
If this does not occur - just about all your associates will get outrageous pictures from your darkish secret life and your system will be blocked as well after two days.
Do not end up being foolish!
Police or buddies won't support you for sure ...
P.S I can provide you with recommendation for the future. Do not type in your security passwords on risky web pages.
I wish for your wisdom.
Bon voyage.
Your computer device was attacked by the malicious app .
Whats the trouble? I placed my malicious agent on a erotica portal, you clicked on this data and promptly adjusted the malware to your computer .
The hostile program made your selfie-camera shooting and I enjoy the videotape with you dash your doodle.
In next 5 hours this hostile program copied all your contacts.
Right now, I receive your all your contact information and video with you masturbating, and now if you wish me to destroy all the data affect payment 350 $USD in BTC digital currency.
Other way I want forward that this record to all your contacts .
I forward you my Bitcoin wallet - XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX You possess 27 hours after reading. In a case if I possess transaction I am going to undo that this record once for all.
I beg pardon for my mistakes- I live in China .
P.S. this postal address, I have thieved it
Good day,
If you had been more careful while caressing yourself, I wouldn't worry you. I don't think that playing with yourself is very bad, but when all your colleagues, relatives and friends get a video recording of it - it is definitely bad for you.
I placed malicious software on a website for adults (with porn) which was visited by you. When the target taps on a play button, your device starts recording the screen and all cameras on your device begin to work.
Moreover, my program allows a remote desktop connection with keylogger function from the device, so I could collect all contacts from your e-mail, messengers and other social networks. I'm writing on this e-mail cuz it's your working address, so you must check it.
I suppose that three hundred twenty usd is good enough for this little misstep. I made a split screen video (recorded from your screen (u have interesting tastes ) and camera ooooooh... its awful AF)
So it's your choice. If you want me to erase this compromising evidence, use my Bitcoin wallet address: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX You have one day after opening my message; I put a special tracking pixel in it, so when you will open it I will see. If you want me to show you the proofs, reply to this message and I will send my creation to five contacts that I got from your contacts.
P.S. You can try to complain to the police, but I don't think that they can help, the investigation will last for 5 month- I'm from Ukraine - so I dgf lmao

This excellent post as Subway & Dairy Queen.
Hello!
I'm a programmer who cracked your email account and device about half year ago. You entered a password on one of the insecure site you visited, and I catched it.
Of course you can will change your password, or already made it. But it doesn't matter, my rat software update it every time.
Please don't try to contact me or find me, it is impossible, since I sent you an email from your email account.
Through your e-mail, I uploaded malicious code to your Operation System. I saved all of your contacts with friends, colleagues, relatives and a complete history of visits to the Internet resources. Also I installed a rat software on your device and long tome spying for you.
You are not my only victim, I usually lock devices and ask for a ransom. But I was struck by the sites of intimate content that you very often visit.
I am in shock of your reach fantasies! Wow! I've never seen anything like this! I did not even know that SUCH content could be so exciting!
So, when you had fun on intime sites (you know what I mean!) I made screenshot with using my program from your camera of yours device. After that, I jointed them to the content of the currently viewed site.
Will be funny when I send these photos to your contacts! And if your relatives see it? BUT I'm sure you don't want it. I definitely would not want to ...
I will not do this if you pay me a little amount. I think $877 is a nice price for it!
I accept only Bitcoins. My BTC wallet: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
If you have difficulty with this - Ask Google "how to make a payment on a bitcoin wallet". It's easy. After receiving the above amount, all your data will be immediately removed automatically. My virus will also will be destroy itself from your operating system.
My Trojan have auto alert, after this email is looked, I will be know it!
You have 2 days (48 hours) for make a payment. If this does not happen - all your contacts will get crazy shots with your dirty life! And so that you do not obstruct me, your device will be locked (also after 48 hours)
Do not take this frivolously! This is the last warning! Various security services or antiviruses won't help you for sure (I have already collected all your data).
Here are the recommendations of a professional: Antiviruses do not help against modern malicious code. Just do not enter your passwords on unsafe sites!
I hope you will be prudent. Bye.
Same as before but they increased the amount

We are building our project, which is a website about the inherent flaws of our current monetary system and how the powers that be control several key areas of our life, and we will run exclusively on cryptocurrencies (for anyone interested in taking a look at the current site still under construction, it is www.awakeninglogos.me). At the beginning we will run exclusively via donations, but later on we will have digital products that will only be bought with cryptocurrencies via a payment processor like Robbot's Rocketr.net .
However, we are concerned that together with our in-depth articles about fiat, crypto and bitcoin BTC vs bitcoin BCH, we will have to write a comprehensive guide teaching people how to buy cryptocurrency easily. Unfortunately, signing up at exchanges and submitting ID documents is not an option for the masses.
Is there any easy way to purchase crypto, and does any integration exist of such a system into a website? If not, this could be a viable project someone could develop.
We're looking forward to a future where people have sovereignty of their own money, and hope to spread awareness of Bitcoin as much as possible.

Bitcoin Price Key Highlights
Bitcoin price broke down from its short-term consolidation and is down to the longer-term channel support.
A bounce could still allow the uptrend to resume and take price to the resistance at $7,000.
A break below current levels could lead to a pickup in selling pressure and prolonged declines once more.
Bitcoin price tumbled below its short-term consolidation to test the bottom of its ascendingchannel on the 4-hour chart.
Technical Indicators Signals
The moving averages are oscillating to reflect earlier range-bound conditions and have yet to catch up to the sharp drop. However, the 100 SMA seems to be holding its head above the longer-term 200 SMA to indicate that the path of least resistance is to the upside. In other words, support might be more likely to hold than to break.
In that case, bitcoin price could recover to the top of the channel around $7,000 or at least until the mid-channel area of interest at $6,600. The moving averages might also hold as near-term resistance levels in the event of a bounce.
Stochastic is pointing down to signal that sellers have control, but the oscillator is nearing oversold conditions to signal exhaustion. Turning back up could bring buyers back to the mix and allow the uptrend to resume. RSI has already reached oversold levels and is starting to turn back up to indicate that buyers are ready to return.

BTCUSD Chart from TradingView
Bitcoin price sold off sharply on news of an outage in Canada’s MapleChange, which led to a loss of more than 900 bitcoins on a security issue. The company attempted to reassure clients but later on took down its social media accounts and the website itself, causing more concerns.
Keep in mind that the industry is just starting to make a bit more headway in terms of assuring regulators and gaining more institutional investments, but this development could put it a step back.

I know that there are some articles about that topic, but i didn't see anyone that tried to track the money:
A few months ago there was a somewhat peculiar phishing campaign. The campaign of sextortion mails, in which a password of the victim was mentioned and an amount X of money was requested in exchange for not publishing a sensitive content of the same.
An example fragment of these mails can be the following:
I am well aware shitpassword is your password. Lets get right to the point. You do not know me and you're probably thinking why you're getting this mail? No-one has paid me to investigate about you.
Well, I actually setup a software on the adult streaming (pornographic material) website and you know what, you visited this site to have fun (you know what I mean). When you were viewing videos, your web browser began working as a Remote Desktop that has a key logger which provided me access to your screen and web camera. Just after that, my software gathered your complete contacts from your Messenger, social networks, as well as e-mail . And then I created a video. 1st part shows the video you were watching (you have a good taste ; )), and next part shows the view of your web camera, and its you.
You will have not one but two choices. We will read up on each of these solutions in aspects:
Very first solution is to neglect this email message. In this situation, I am going to send out your very own video to just about all of your contacts and think concerning the awkwardness you can get. And consequently should you be in an important relationship, precisely how it is going to affect?
Next alternative is to give me $5000. Let us name it as a donation. Consequently, I will straight away eliminate your video recording. You could go on your way of life like this never happened and you are never going to hear back again from me.
You'll make the payment through Bitcoin (if you do not know this, search for "how to buy bitcoin" in Google).
BTC Address to send to: 1MkB7HxxxxxqiNAiJUd7DCTEbAyVG9ab2y
[...]
In the emails it was requested as payment from $ 1000 up to $ 7000 in some occasions, depending on the variant of received message:
Number 2 option would be to pay me $5000. Let us regard it as a donation. In this instance, I will quickly discard your video. You can keep on your way of life like this never occurred and you surely will never hear back again from me.
2nd option is to pay me $1000. We are going to name it as a donation. In such a case, I will straightaway eliminate your video recording. You could go on with your daily ro utine like this never occurred and you will not ever hear back again from me.
Other alternative will be to give me $6000. We will regard it as a donation. Then, I most certainly will straightaway erase your video recording. You will continue on your way of life like this never occurred and you will not ever hear back again from me.
I was curious, so I decided to investigate this fraud a little more thoroughly. I collected about 1500 emails from people who notified that they was victims of that fraud. For that I scraped several websites in which this type of case is reported. I extracted the addresses of bitcoin and checked through the blockchain API which of them paid.
Of the entire sample, around 325 addresses have received a payment. This means that around 20% of the victims are paying (in the event that the pattern of the sample continues). You can get an idea of the amount of money that can be earned behind this scam.
Confirmed payments of 322 addresses involved on sextortion scam - Maltego CE
In total, the addresses have raised $ 176,010. If we follow the trail of transactions, we can see how the funds end up in their vast majority in the Binance hot wallet and another direction apparently associated with Poloniex.
I have also detected some intermediate addresses that have moved a lot of money, and interesting end addresses like the following:
Transaction tracking - Maltego CE
Another address that caught my attention for having seen it before related to cases of scams was the following:
This address appears related to cases of fraud, in the following articles (highly recommended) this data can be appreciated.
Apart from these addresses, there are too many relevant addresses to detail each one in the post.
As you can see, the amount of money that moves between these addresses is overwhelming. This makes me think about the possibility that the same addresses are used to move funds from other scams.
Transaction tracking becomes quite complicated, with more than 10,000 addresses appearing in the tracking of a single payment.

At this point, due to lack of resources and time, I think it is unfeasible for me to continue the investigation alone.
If someone wants to collaborate in the investigation or needs the data, contact me.
