How to set up Bookie

We can tell that many people are excited about Bookie. We both know this is an amazing opportunity to boost the fun of sports betting exchanges. There won't be any shortage of eager participants in on the fun and excitement! And some won't be able to resist the allure of the fun!

We want to empower the community to be able to set up one or as many Bookies as they want using Peerplays’ tools and apply them as they see fit.

Here’s how you can set up Bookie:
First, you’ll need to install everything you’ll need like Dependencies, MongoDB, Redis, and Bos-auto.
Second, you’ll have to upgrade and configure Bos-auto.
Third, you’ll have to spin Bos-auto.
Fourth, you’ll have to integrate Bos-mint (to work with all sorts of manual interactions with the blockchain).
Finally, you’ll have to ensure Bos-auto is monitored properly along with many other configurations properly set in place.

Setting up Bookie isn’t complex. You can get started with Bookie in this step-by-step guide. (https://community.peerplays.tech/bookie-oracle-suite-bos/bos-and-mint-setup)

I feel like soon we will have to open a channel for this topic.. for now though I will put it here since its a form of outreach and will require some promo 🙂 .. the other day Dima released a new working version of DEXBot https://github.com/graphene-blockchain/DEXBot

Ironically the same day I had suggested it would be great to have that available to help create liquidity on Gph.ai. It's also a tool that can be used in the Peerplays DEX once we have the Bitcoin-SON activated.

I have tossed around the idea of a type of running contest as part of the kickstart efforts for some time.. I never came to a final format.. but just wanted to share some rough ideas on how I was thinking of structuring this:

1. All community members can donate to the prize pool
2. The maker/taker winning parameters will not get specific coins, but an NFT of unknow value which could range from $100 to $5000 in value or osmething like that.. (depends on the donations)
3. The winner getting the NFT will be able to put it for sale on the Peerplays NFT DEX
4. Running the Decentralized RNG in Peerplays will determine how much the NFT will be bid for based.

Alternatively.. some kind of NFT-Lotto distribution could replace this process.

Anyways.. I just wanted to put these initial thoughts out there so that I could hear back from others on ways this might be done and how we could drive at least $100k daily volume in market making and or trades. The flip side of this is that it also showcases some of Peerplays core capabilities. The more onchain the better.

Feel free to reference examples of other contests and their results if you think it would be relevant..

Looking forward to feedback!

As the name suggests, Peerplays will conduct a weekly update meeting and it will be posted here.

Peerplays Weekly Meeting November 26,2021:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCXJTnFpicE

This will be our last Weekly Townhall meeting of 2021. We will return on January 7, 2022

Post has been updated to reflect 1.5.16 being available. An older version was posted instead of the updated version. Peerplays regrets the error

Technical info on the mainnet halt and restoration, from 2021-12-30 to 2022-01-06. (INFO PROVIDED BY PEERPLAYS WITNESS)

The root cause for network halt is that 4 out of 11 witnesses did not upgraded to the latest release 1.5.16.

Incoming mainnet release was first announced mid November.

Official Mainnet release, v1.5.15 was announced on 2021-12-16. At the same time, SON for Hive hardfork date,
2021-12-21, is announced. v1.5.15 contained son_update_operation with different signature, intended to allow
SON operator to bring back to life his/her deregistered SON node. This change was incompatible with current
chain, and when tested, sync stops around SON hardfork date. Problem is fixed on a same day, related MR here:
https://gitlab.com/PBSA/peerplays/-/merge_requests/50

Official Mainnet hotfix release, v1.5.16 was announced on 2021-12-17.

From what follows, apparently, 7 out of 11 active witnesses upgraded their software, and when the SON for
Hive network is activated, witnesses that did not have upgraded software are kicked out of the network,
because they were unable to process SON for Hive related data and operations. This caused participation
rate to drop below threshold, LIB was not increasing any further, and 10.000 blocks after LIB, network halted.

Chain state at the moment of network halt was following:
