 ''' Daily Smart Contracts '''
 Although we are bitcoin based, we have our own Generic Smart Contract that allows us to settle daily payments for Oracle based campaigns.  Our sanctuaries act as Oracles for our project.  In our case our primary campaign is to reward those that hold long crypto positions in foreign assets.  These daily payments are smoothly delivered via our daily smart contract.  Each sanctuary votes to settle the consensus of the contract.
 ''' Fractional Sanctuaries '''
 For those who cannot afford to invest in a full sanctuary, you can still own a fractional sanctuary at:  https://foundation.biblepay.org

 ''' A very high-bar in the future vision '''
 We set a very high bar for our future vision.  Based on the recent complaints about big-tech delisting conservative platforms, and Constitutational rights being suppressed, we are committed to providing a decentralized solution for Constitutional problems.  For example, we currently provide decentralized pop3 email delivery.  In the future we plan on adding a CDN (content delivery network) for decentralized file hosting (IE Christian content, such as videos and PDFs).  We want to provide a backbone that allows developers to write decentralized applications that charge a PPV fee and provide CDN hosted content on demand.  This will allow developers to write decentralized platforms similar to Twitter, Youtube and Facebook.

 ''' A hedge Against Inflation by Central Banks '''
@@ Line 11: / Line 12: @@
 We have a vision of being a hedge against central bank fiat inflation.  We do this by controlling our money supply with a decreasing yearly emission rate (decreasing by 20% per year) according to our schedule found here:
 https://wiki.biblepay.org/Emission_Schedule_2020 , and the theory is that value locked up in our chain will be independent to moves in fiat currencies, and, we strictly adhere to our emission schedule that is published - and this schedule is designed to pay our miners and sanctuaries.  This schedule is in contrast to the way central banks work, who decide to print money based on demands of governments and pandemics and bailouts, etc.
 ''' More than $240,000 given to Orphan-Charity directly from our Chain '''
 Next, our altruistic side has a vision to fulfill James 1:27, help orphans and widows in their distress.  From our inception, we have directed more than 10% of our emissions to go to orphan-charity.  The way our chain works is we require each sanctuary to sponsor one orphan and in exchange, the sanctuary receives 20% of our coinbase reward.  If our price rises, more sanctuaries come online to sponsor more orphans (due to their ability to profit).  Each orphan costs a sanctuary $40.00 per month.  We have provably sponsored orphans from Cameroon-One.  Each Cameroon-One orphan contains the public sanctuary key on the childs bio and is guaranteed never to be sponsored by more than one donor at a time.
 ''' Decentralized autonomous organization Governance Body (Sanctuaries) '''
 Our governance body, being a decentralized-autonomous-organization (DAO), is not subject to government intereference.  Each member has the best interests for the community, since they had to make an investment of 4.5MM bbp for the Right to become a sanctuary, and they much sponsor an orphan that is in good-standing, meaning they have a financial investment and a monthly commitment.  This gives the member the right to vote on governance issues directly from the sanctuary (they may review and vote on proposals that drive our coin and charity decisions).  They are most likely good people on a mission that is Christian oriented.
 ''' Spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ '''
 We are also committed to spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ to new Christians.  Our core wallet has the KJV bible compiled in which provides scripture references to various functions.  In the beginning our original hash algorithm (POBH) used to use the bible for hashing -- however we have decided to move to RandomX merge mining as of 2020, to reduce the electric bills that our miners incur (and make our chain more efficient).  This move allows BiblePay to be mined on any commodity PC and prevents our chain from being taken over by ASICs.   We also have a combination of merge-mining and chainlocks for block security that virtually prevents 51% attacks (chainlocks, developed by dash, prevent reorgs, and merge-mining ensures no big miners can come in and disrupt our hashpower in a material way).
 ''' Foreign Staking Rewards (UTXO staking) '''
 Biblepay provides Foreign Staking Rewards giving you the ability to receive ROI for your self-directed long currency positions in other currencies.  For example, if you hold BTC, LTC, ETH, DOGE or DASH you may stake those foreign currencies inside the biblepay wallet and you will become part of our leaderboard.  This gives you a daily reward from our mining budget called (DWU - dynamic whale unit).
 ''' A certified institute - BiblePay University '''
 We are a certified institute for Gospel Teachings from Harvest Time.  In BiblePay University, you can learn college level theological material and even take final exams right in the wallet.
 ''' Read the Bible behind suppressed Firewalls '''
 Our core wallet has the KJV compiled in, and allows you to read the bible in English, Chinese and Russian.  We look forward to adding more languages.
