Upgrading to 1.5.0.7 - RandomX
On March 24th, 2020, BiblePay will be transitioning to the RandomX algorithm. This upgrade is a major release therefore we need to explain some finer technical details that may not be apparent so we can help you upgrade.
Exchanges, Block Explorers and Self Compiling Full Nodes
The compilation instructions have slightly changed, due to integrating RandomX into our core crypto library. Please refer to this document first: https://github.com/biblepay/biblepay/blob/master/BuildBiblePay.txt Note the part about compiling RandomX. This is an easy step, and is only required once. In general, a person compiling BiblePay will cd to the "depends" directory, compile depends as usual, then back out, cd to RandomX, compile randomX, then back out and compile the coin. Additionally, our github URL has changed to: https://github.com/biblepay/biblepay (however, we have integrated an automatic redirect in our old URL so as to not break any old scripts).
Memory
For exchanges, and block explorers: You will not be affected because our memory tuning selector is set to only use 256meg for full nodes by default if they are not miners. However, for miners and those running sanctuaries, Since RandomX uses up 256Meg of memory per mining thread (or block checking thread), be wary about starting the solo miner. Each solo mining thread will consume more RAM. Therefore we advise you to start very small, for example: setgenerate true 1, check the stability of your system, then move to setgenerate 2. Know that it is never profitable to solo mine with the core wallet, due to the memory tuning constraint. See Mining with XMRig below to mine bbp with randomx.
