Is this a new project? What are your key features compared to other wallets that may appeal to users? Your wallet is a new version so I think it needs to be improved, and you already have the person in charge of this part yet? You should improve the wallet so that users can use the best way
The Bitmark project was started in July of 2014. The key feature of our Blockchain is our focus on Marking. Marking is a broad term that encompasses many different uses and applications, most involving anchoring data sets on the blockchain via hashes embedded in transactions. It's a deep, fascinating topic that we can expand on to many useful areas. We welcome your suggestions on how to improve our wallet and any others you may have too. Having the marking feature in the wallet would be nice. Like offering the option to select a file to be marked before you do a transaction and then, when it do the transaction, it hashes the file and stores the file hash into the blockchain. If there were an option to set file name, file description and an optional storage of the file in the bitmark servers, allowing to publicty query the file, that would be very useful to many companies and entities. I like your suggestion ! That would be a great and simple way to enable users to mark anything they had on file. The optional storage part is interesting too because it would in essence be the storing of the file which originated in the user's machine to the Bitmark servers, or " Bitmark Storage Cloud" which could be a federation of machines which are willing to commit storage space for a length of time in exchange for MARKS. Agreed, that would be a good way to implement Marking and leverage our "Bitmark Storage" solutions. Thanks for the recommendation! We will see if this is a feature the community would like/support, and if it is we can add it to our short term milestones list (after the completion of the code base upgrades). May be it could be a new tab intended explusively for marking, showing the available fields to fill, and when the user commits the action then it automatically do the transaction, marks the file and upload it to the bitmark storage. A webpage having a "marked files explorer" that allows anyone to search and to check the marked files, additional data, timestamp and hashes would be very useful. The main problem I can think on this is what happens when someone marks illegal content and it is stored on the bitmark servers or bitmark storage. There should be a way to report illegal content and a way to delete it. The question of legality is always tied to jurisdiction. It's an interesting question, because what is legal in one place might not be legal in another. There should be a way to report questionable content, and for contributors to the storage federation to decide whether they want to keep it or not. Those are good points. We could look into the Firewall offerings (through the web server/services provider) It is easy to block certain types of traffic, however files (with illegal content) gets a bit trickier. https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/documentation/71/pan-os/pan-os/policy/create-best-practice-security-profileshttps://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/Management-Articles/Complete-List-of-PAN-DB-URL-Filtering-Categories/ta-p/129799Not sure if google offers an API for this. That said it would be prudent to take a similar approach as services like reddit. Relying on the community is much more feasible, since we don't have the resources/assets for this at the moment. |

volume of MARKS on Cryptopia is down, will it improve?
Wallet disabled Yes, this is solely due to the fact that we informed Cryptopia of the update to 0.9.8.3 (which should be released here shortly, I think within the next week or so). - Quick Note: We simply wanted to do a better job of announcing the update this time around. |

Can you explain about the staking a bit.Will wallet be out before the end of the ICO for the desktop or will we be able to stake on mobile devices also?
No Stacking has been implemented within the current system nor the upcoming 0.9.8.3 update. Short answer: Bitmark is AuxPoW (not PoS). |

1535397408 Mon Aug 27 19:16:48 UTC 2018 "moneysupply" : 9509391.96671310so the answer is, a little bit over 9.5 million MARKS (9509391.96671310 MARKS, to be exact) That is the total number of Bitmarks in existence at the moment. Every day, no more than about 720 * 15 = 10800 MARKS are added to this number. Usually less, because CEM v0.1 is already on the job, modulating the block reward down for algorithms where the hashrate is not at peak. There never was an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) for Bitmark. It has always been generated by mining exclusively. The exchanges that trade Bitmark ( Poloniex.com, Cryptopia.co.nz, qTrade.io and TradeSatoshi.com among other) may have all-time volume figures on Bitmarks traded inside their platforms, but these numbers would only indicate how many Bitmarks have changed hands on those exchanges... Understand that one Bitmark (or any fraction of it) may have changed ownership many, many times, so those volume figures may be quite a bit larger than the absolute number in circulation. With the proposed enhancements in Bitmark v0.9.8.3 (Fork #2) it is almost certain that the daily emission of MARKS would be less than the present theoretical maximum of 10800 MARKS. How much less would depend on factors beyond anyone's control. How many miners kept on mining through the merge-mining enabling AuxPoW feature, whether a steady hashrate was maintained or high peaks observed, etc. Glad you clarified for all the new community members....no ICO EVER, Never a Premine & never investor driven...solely a community driven approach that seeks to imperilment our vision and them likely market quite a bit more than we have |

Allow me to be as clear and concise as possible....@onelineproof did great work while he was employed by us, however his unwillingness to adopt a change that was voted on and widely accepted by the community (not to mention his attempt to hijack), has placed him outside our circle of trust. We will move as a unit toward what is in the best interest of the project & community. Sadly, since he cannot accept what we agree on as a team, then he can not work with us (or anyone of that matter "by his own admission")...who want a dev that only drives his unsubstantiated view and not the views or options of the team/project...??[/color][/size][/b]
TeamBitmark is a puppet account of 82ndabnmedic I assume, since the writing style is the same. What vote? Where did it take place? On slack where people get banned for disagreeing with the fork. How can you not get 100% support in such an environment? I actually have a significant stake in Bitmark, it's not just peanuts. If I were to lose all my marks, that would be a very significant setback financially. I do have skin in the game, but for sure I would sell what I have on dbkeys' fork. The price of Bitmark never surpassed $1 except for a short time last winter when Bitcoin peaked, and the market cap never surpassed $7 million, except for that short burst. The BTC value of marks in 2014 is a useless measure since there was much less altcoins at the time, bitcoin value was lower, and there was much less marks in circulation. Same with any other BTC price / market cap. The only meaningful marketcap is USD since that's the dominant world currency right now. From 1.2 million to 7 million market cap is quite easy (we just saw a rise this month from 1 million to 1.2 million). Reducing the emission rate will not magically increase the price, it will reduce selling pressure so investors can more easily dump. Any gains will likely be temporary and unstable. The email I listed previously in my signature seems to have problems so I am changing it back to my previous email: <my username>@gmail.comLike I said, this is the last chance if you support the uncorrupted version of Bitmark. Block reward changes that favor special interests will be visible on the blockchain forever. You cannot hide it.
I apologize to the Bitmark [MARKS] Community for the distorted and disrespect @onelineproof has shown to the community....Yes We announced that the TeamBitmark account would be used as our official means of communication for updates and coordination....so to say it is a puppet account (for me or the team) is utterly out off touch & offensive.@onelineproof I wish you the best of luck, I can rest easy knowing that I attempted to reach out and collaborate with you...in search of some mutually beneficial resolution....But working with you is all or nothing (and the sad this is that the part your "all in on" is flat out wrong/and based on distorted views of the market/blockchain dynamics)...

I understand that those who now manage a coin want to stop the coin's depreciation. for this they want to use centralized methods. and the original developer does not agree to a centralized solution. correct if I do not correctly understood the situation
Correction, He was never our original Developer, he was initially an employee which we assumed may chose to become a full member of the team. - (this is no longer an option) So Lead Dev = No Our Lead Developer is and has been Melvin Carvalho https://melvincarvalho.com/#meMelvin is an amazing developer and his needs no introduction. |

What happened to Bitmark? Why it has fallen so significantly when it always cost about 10k satoshi?
Afert a resonanable period of discourse our previoud developere could not see the real picture which was blatantly obvious (and which I will not go over as @DBKEYS has already laid out just reasoning for our decision). We SHALL take action NOW!Sorry I meant to post that under my personal account: Afert a resonanable period of discourse our previoud developere could not see the real picture which was blatantly obvious (and which I will not go over as @DBKEYS has already laid out just reasoning for our decision).

Poloniex.com
Bitmark (BTM) (MARKS)
Deposits & Withdrawals are now fully functional. Many thanks to the Poloniex team ! Extremely pleased with how our DevTeam has stepped up and made this happen...We are now on track, we have set goals and deliverables for the remaining QTRs and we should have a timeline out soon-ish. The core updates take priority as we all know...then we need to address the final touches on the website ans move forward with implementations, marketing, etc |

Hi, We've added MARKS to the miners multipool: www.zpool.caWe have it enabled on SHA256, SCRYPT and X17 Cheers Perfect....Great work guys! |

MARKS is already being traded on Cryptopia. You probably meant deposits and withdrawals will be enabled again?
Thanks for catching that....yes I meant to say re-enabled deposits & withdrawals |

Bitmarks "MARKS" be taken out of Maintenance mode @Cryptopia_NZ on Friday "July 6th"
Thanks @Cryptopia_NZ |

Dbkeys, can you help me, my wallet 9.0.5 is not syncronized, i added the node but don't syncronized.
we recommend that you backup your current wallet.dat file to a safe location (multiple actually)...then downlooad the latest release for your OS. Install the new wallet & make sure to add the bootstrap file in the /Users/AppData/Roaming/Bitmark directory (this will aid in syncing the new wallet quickly). Once synced, Close the wallet. Now place the saved wallet.dat file (from old version) in the same directory "/Users/AppData/Roaming/Bitmark"....Now restart - You should be fully Synced with you imported wallet |

What did you do? This is ridiculous! cryptopy produces the message "13th June - Investigating deposit issues." and all the others also do not work, qtrade - does not cause any trust at all - what are your problems in this and why they are not solved? Where is the promised yobit - you even got money for this, and what?
As @dbkeys stated we are a volunteer group, fully decentralized and organically grown. I've been in contact with both Cryptopia & Poloniex at least twice a week. Poloniex is currently doing their standard testing prior to re-enabling the wallet. Additionally we are collaborating with Cryptopia and assisting them in getting their wallets synced... they are policy bound and unable to use the bootstrap file to Aid Syncing. We successfully forked and provided our community the 1st multi-algo merge mineable currency, this was a massive undertaking and we have been largely sucessfull... let's try to keep the conversation productive, constructive and insightful |

After I bit the bullet and deployed an Ubuntu 16.04 vps, resynched (and constantly restarting the daemon as it hangs regularily) I am now on block # 453174. At the same time, Cryptopia shows a blockheight of # 450962 and Tradesatoshi shows # 450909 (but says the wallet is in maintenance). BE1 shows # 450890 and BE2 # 453175. I guess I'll use the node list from Cryptopia and make sure I am on the same chain as they are so I can at least transfer the coins to them. This is the only block explorer, I can find right now, which is working: http://explorer.bitmark.co/ |

projects with ideas or ideas that will be needed in the future because it will facilitate the activities of someone later, for the sale of coins I think there is no problem and quite interesting because the price of coins offered is not too expensive, what is the target price of coins when listing on the exchange?
egretia
looking at our history highs...I think 50K SAT is well within reason, and will be reached. price there after would likely need to be re-established as higher prices become the norm. Personally think we are way undervalued, but for obvious reasons...once development is stable and Marking is implemented, previous ATH above .001 are will within reach (this is not advice....just my take on the projects ) |

If i donate to BTM team 50,000 USD what u gonna do with it?
My opinion would be to accelerate development of marking applications, improve online presence and social media outreach, as well as continue to modernize and improve the core software. Naturally, someone with such a generous donation would have a big voice in how these funds were spent. - we would seek to standardize our processes
- Establish documentation & wiki's, find talent to develop marketing content, secure marketing for the year
- Find talent to develop marketing content
- Design deliverables / time-lines, and content surrounding the management of the project
- Broaden our reach, expand on our implementations
- Secure at minimum 1 new platform to implement Marking
- Secure marketing for the year
transparency would be key...and as DBKeys stated stakeholder input would be taken into consideration |

We like Bitmark and we are prepared to support most algorithms.
Our team is waiting for v0.9.7.
Awesome...thanks for the support |

Deliverables Update: Future Fork
In an effort to adapt and evolve with the ever changing crypto sceen, the Bitmark Team has taked the neccassary steps to secure the blockchain by adopting a multiple-proof of work system (augmenting the single Scrypt proof-of-work algorithm with Sha256d, Lyra2REv2, Argon2d, X17, Equihash, Cryptonite and Yescrypt, for a total of 8 PoW algos working concurrently to secure the chain) and replacing the every-720 blocks difficulty adjustment algo with Dark Gravity Wave v3.Several of the PoW algos will be merge-mine enabled, with VertCoin, Verge, ZCash and Monero, among others. Since Monero is changing their
PoW algo, we are waiting to adopt these latest changes before setting the proposed fork height. The current official version is v0.9.5 and the fork which implements these improvements is v0.9.7 which will activate on or around May 3.
Stay tuned for additional news & updates...Thanks
