How do we sponsor CameroonONE children using BiblePay?1
You can be a sponsor for CameroonONE orphans using BiblePay, Credit Card, PayPal or Check.
BiblePay (BBP)
If you want to pay in BBP, you can send the BiblePay (BBP) to CameroonONE’s wallet at BHRiFZYUpHj2r3gxw7pHyvByTUk1dGb8vz
then e-mail Todd Justin at CameroonONE with the child ID. In the next release, the BiblePay (BBP) wallet will simplify this process for payment to CameroonONE.
But first, you must register with BiblePay before you send payment: https://whitewalr.us/2019/biblepay-cameroonone-partnership.html
How do I know how much BBP to send?
After your authorize the sponsorship of a child, you can make payment via BBP.
Update: Revised instructions here: https://whitewalr.us/2019/whats-new-in-biblepay-1449.html
Go to Tools, Debug Console
Type: listchildren
The child ID you send to Todd will be here:
Type: exec price
Divided 40 with the cur_price value to figure out how much BBP to send Todd
$40 USD / 0.00046 = 86,9562
Send calculated amount of BBP (e.g. 86,956 BBP) toBHRiFZYUpHj2r3gxw7pHyvByTUk1dGb8vz
Send e-mail to Todd @ CameroonONE with the child ID separately

Check
Send check or money order of $40 or more to:
CameroonONE
28 Hawthorne Street, Unit 1
Boston, MA 02119
After you wait 1 business day after sending electronic payment (or 5 business days if sending a check), you should see your balance increase under listchildren
The value should change from a negative value (e.g. -999) to forty (40) or zero (0). Balance of zero (0) is your obligation for the month. The leaderboard in BiblePay may show you with points, but it may take 24-48 hours for your BiblePay rewards to become active. More details here: https://github.com/biblepay/biblepay-evolution/issues/14
The amount list in your issue is your amount you owe for that month.
So -999 is for a sponsor hold,
40 means that you have yet to pay or payment is not processed by CameroonONE
And, 0 means that you are all settled for the month.
Is there a delay is receiving POOM rewards in the BiblePay wallet after sponsoring a CameroonONE child?
Rob (BiblePay dev) said:
CameroonOne is the Boston branch that focuses on the Cameroon-Africa children (where Hilary and Todd works), but they are owned by OneTrack Intl.
From what I understand when we ask for a new child to be sponsored, Todd reaches out to One Track and they provide the new child.
With the multiple layers of coordination, you can see with time zone differences it can take a few days if not a week to get everything set up.
If we are unable to sponsor our CameroonONE orphan, what happens to the child?
Reply from Anna Cavalowsky with CameroonONE:
Yes, we have a contingency. If for some reason you are unable to continue your POOM sponsorship, the student will be transferred to the next POOM donor. If there is a gap, then other non-BiblePay funds will support the student. We are dedicated to ensuring all children remain in our program.
Regarding the children‘s age, it varies depending on the specific child. We do our best to give POOM donors the younger ages so you can have a long-term relationship with maximum impact. The children remain in school until age 18.

- Rob Andrews, lead dev of BiblePay has also stated using the “mid-point” from Coin Market Cap. Perhaps we means the average using the values of open, high, low, close? https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/biblepay/historical-data/ [↩]
