Hello Bitmark community,

Glad to be onboard with you  ! I'm a Dogecoin and Reddcoin fan and now happy to have come accross Project Bitmark, if memory serves I think it was through a CoinDesk article or other crypto-news site.
I find the projet to be hugely ambitious and love how it goes beyond the social aspect that Reddcoin wants to address.

I went through the github Wiki & read a nice interview I got forwarded on Twitter by the Bitmark account. I still have a lot of questions but I'm confident and hope everything will clarify as the development keeps advancing (respect to the team btw ).

I'm currently bootstrapping an apparel company and I thought, heck, it would be amazing to integrate Marking with my articles. Looking forward to learn how this can be done but I can already imagine putting QR codes or NFC chips on some parts of my products

Oh and I was wondering why don't you guys hang out on Reddit more often?
Also, I'm seeing that it's something like 20-40% less profitable to be mining BTM now (awaiting the drop in difficulty following the drop in the hashrate!), so I think I'll be bouncing between mining altcoins + converting to BTM and directly mining BTM for a higher hashrate although mine is quiet low. What's your strategy?

Cheers !

I don't believe they have intended to do anything malicious and I am the one who reached out to Minep.it for them to add BTM. I always liked Minep.it and believe there is more to the issue than we can see. I will be investigating it.

@xchrix

doge_btc works for one tradingPair call but not in tradingPairs list context call i.e. btc_usd,doge_btc,blah_blah

Is this a bug?

TY

THIS! Thank you. The market will always move in waves. IF you look at little at difficulty, hype etc you can move along with the market.
As an investor/trader you should know this. Don't bug the developers about the price.

IMO coinsolidation is one of the best developers out there, looks like he got everything covered from every angle. Always has a good answer. As an investor, I am not worried! Can't wait to see how bitmark matures!

People using marks?

Hello,

I will not be very active those 3-5 days, because I have some health issues (I broke my head on a sidewalk so I can't think a lot ), but I have contacted rob72 and LordPaco. LordPaco is sending me FAILs about future development. His help is VERY APPRECIATED and I will write details when I'm better.

P.S. I still don't have answer from developer. I will write him today.

Best regards,
Spartak Tomanov

2 per minutes is ok if everything runs fine. if the server needs much time to respond then its overloaded
yes i am adding every new trading pair which is traded on one of the exchanges automatically.

Good question. For me personally, I had just starting learning about all the new innovations in altcoins that had happened so far in the last 10-12 months or so, and I was reading the forum here and I came across coinsolidation making a few posts to discus the theory and ideas behind alternative currencies.

For a few weeks or so there were multiple threads where we discussed the ideas behind features, developer funding, and what matters and what doesn't when it comes to digital currency. When I started reading the alt forum here the last thing I would have ever expected myself to do is get involved with a project, but after talking with coinsolidation and hearing his ideas I naturally just kind of fell in to the project. Even though I personally was skeptical(not against, but just not sure) about a lot of his ideas of what would make an alternative currency work, it seems that thus far he's known exactly what parameters were optimal and how important it was to build value from scratch.

I wasn't the only one who noticed what he was doing, and over time more and more like minded people joined the project. We had ~70 pages of interesting discussion with none of the typical idiocy that comes with being here on bitcointalk. Luckily for us our project has already outgrown bitcointalk and it's very unlikely that you'll see much from Bitmark here on bitcointalk in the coming months and years ahead.

Applause, the distribution is in slow-mo, the development at light speed - I've never seen a more transparent coin!

Thanks, that is exactly it.

Somebody with contacts and your exact mentality is currently working hard to reach out VCs who have future interest in the system we are creating (not the currency btm), perhaps something will come of that.

I quote: "it's a bit fkn annoying that timelines / cash, become so difficult when doing stuff you believe in.  hopefully we can change that paradigm [with marking]".

The irony is that this project provides the funding model for any project like it in the future, in any domain, it's a crowd sourced funding model and reputation system where if you work hard and create things people like, the likes given (marks) directly translate to money which funds what you do organically.

Good thinking and big thanks to You!
It is a great pleasure to have man like you in community like this.

Regards to all

...

In short, this is the first alt I've seen with significant innovation to get involved.  I've donated to the project and offering my time and coding to help make it a reality.

Look forward to working with you all!  

...

Everything reduces to what is in demand, and bluntly, funding. If we were a well funded project there would be a team of people working round the clock on many different aspects and producing great things, that's in addition to my own productivity increasing substantially - given even quarter of the funding of these IPO scams people are so keen to invest in we'd be one of the most exciting productive and innovative projects on the web, let alone this forum. This is not the case, so please bare with me whilst I (and others) react to demand and have several meetings per day, we are working incredibly hard to create something new with far reaching impact and scope, far beyond the scope of this forum and existing crypto currency userbases, and beyond that of all current alt-coins combined.

Hey, Mr. A. I hope that your vacation was great. The summer here is over since 1th September.

Hello, world,

We may have some news pretty soon.

Stay FAILed!

i figured out what i was missing the other day re the difficulty. hadn't equated the slowness of the blocks vs the number of days to change to lower diff, rather than the standard 11hrs.

also i see that we miners that are sticking to the network are true and all else are here to get the short term payout, not complaining, but would be nice to have a greater reward over the slow period for those that are sticking with the program ... or maybe the big miners stick around rather than increasing the diff and running. hopefully one day.

Do you have a rough comparison of the amount of BTM you mined during the high diff and low diff period?

spent most of last night reviewing identifi from sirius/martti, spoken with him about it all day so far. It seems that our projects have mutual needs, so will be working to have identifi in with marking, which will give us a big open p2p trust network as another backbone for our system

Hopefully ideas and interesting things will start heading in to overdrive very very soon
