[ANN] [MARKS] Incentivize Content Creators & Build a Reputation Value Framework

[coinzy4]

Top Mining Club is proud to announce first equihash mining pool for Bitmark - topmining.club.

Pool fee for the first month is 0%, after first month pool fee would be 1%.

Happy mining.

PS. We'll soon start adding support for other Bitmark mining algorithms. Next in line is Cryptonight.

Example command line options for some of the miners:

EBVF:

Code:

miner --server 172.104.215.38 --port 4032 --user <YOUR BITMARK ADDRESS>  --pass x

Bminer:

Code:

ADDRESS=<YOUR BITMARK ADDRESS>

USERNAME=$ADDRESS.w
POOL=172.104.215.38:4032
SCHEME=stratum

./bminer -uri $SCHEME://$USERNAME@$POOL -api 127.0.0.1:1880

For single GPU please use port 3032, for multiple gpu port 4032, and for nicehash 5032.

The area chain project of content incentive has abundant timing requirements, and MARKS is expected to achieve breakthrough application in this field.

[paklungipin]

This platform has been successful forking and becoming a product
which uses the first multi-algo on a coin that can mined. Also has
become a digital asset that can used as a micro payment tool for
the public, companies and governments. This is a big market opportunity
that can be developed.
Overall, this application of blockchain technology in this platform
proven internally and externally needed.
With hard work and dedication, hopefully can survive
in today's competitive market.

[crackfoo]

Hi,

We've added MARKS to the miners multipool: www.zpool.ca

We have it enabled on SHA256, SCRYPT and X17

Cheers

Perfect....Great work guys!

Enabled now on yescrypt and equihash as standard POW.

Cheers

[Matiel]

What's the play here?
influence buyers to sell their MARKS in the Polo in 4k and buy in Cryptopia in 1k?
what is the problem that prices do not match?

Proposed  Bitmark (MARKS) v0.9.7.3   -   Development Report

     Coin Emission Modulation v0.1 has proved succesful, and we believe it can benefit from more dynamic range authority.  We propose that CEM v0.2 have authority somewhere between 75% and 80% of the epoch full reward, (instead of just 50%).  The look-back period on which peak hashrate is based will be reduced from 1 year to 3 months. We believe this time frame is sufficient and better suited.


     A discussion about the merits of merge-mining arose on the Bitmark GitHub wiki ( merge-mining discussion ), and an interesting white paper was highlighted: Merged Mining: ¿ Curse or Cure ?

     Based on this, we want to make a distinction between blocks mined natively or (n-blocks), and blocks merge-mined via the AuxPoW mechanism as children of another parent chain or (mm-blocks). The motivation is to reduce mining centralization, while securing the benefits of the large hashpower of powerful parent chains. Another goal is to produce the right number of coins for the available market demand and stabilize the coin's price. Merge-mined coins tend to be freebies which are sold off on exchanges quickly, while natively mined coins are usually more prized by the miners.

     Merge-mined blocks (mm-blocks) will receive a lighter reward than natively-mined blocks (n-blocks).   Naturally, both the native and merged variants must each therefore have their own blocktime targets and difficulty. Each variant's hashrate will also be individually tracked and this data used by Coin Emission Modulation individually as well. This will create, effectively, a total of 16 "viritual" algos from the present 8 mPoW algos. Each mPoW algo will have a native and a merge-mined variant. As per the original Bitmark (MARKS) spec, a block will continue to be produced in an average inter-block time of 2 minutes (β=120s) and the original coin emission caps are observed.

     The reasoning for the lower subsidy for mm-blocks is that the low marginal cost to obtain an mm-block should be likewise equitably rewarded. If a mining operation did not want to be subject to the lower mm-block reward, they can always choose to mine Bitmark as the parent chain, and get the full CEM-modulated reward of the native variant by generating n-blocks.

      Work on this proposed hard fork is  happening on @piratelinux's GitHub repo, dev branch:Bitmark v0.9.7.3 development

Project Bitmark


MARKS - Incentivizing Content Creators & Building a Reputation Value Framework

EXAMPLE:

• Send and receive payment from a URI (uniform resource identifiers) verified as being 'owned' or 'produced' by someone
  

• Bitmark uses 'Linked Data' technologies to significantly improve the number of transactions the system is capable of in any given time-period. This in-turn aids with scalability, usability and Applications possible for this technology, which is currently not be as easily addressed using traditional cryptocurrency technologies.

• Marking provides a means to remunerate content creators, by adapting the intention of a 'like' or a '+1', or other social-confirmation, into something that is valuable, transferable, and reputable.

https://i.imgur.com/zWZDUvd.png

Incentivizing the Content Creator

Bitmark enables the use of social-gestures and digital investments to create, establish and build monetary value in means that were simply impossible prior to the advent of Marking. Whether it be applied for providing recognition for a video you produced, shared or 'liked', through to new ways to pay street vendors, those authoring free software on the web, those seeking a low-friction way to license and distribute protectable intellectual property, organizations looking for a new way to establish a voting mechanism for administrative purposes or non-profit organizations seeking new, incremental ways to build or maintain their non-profit activities through social-engagement.

The New Social Reputation Standard - Marking via "MARKS"
Bitmark provides new funding mechanisms for funding products and services valued by communities.
These systems can easily be applied to web-resources such as Wikipedia, via simple integration that supports simply 'marking' an article you've read or 'marking' Wikipedia itself as a resource you value. In-turn, these activities can be applied to modern Digital Reputation systems, which act in-turn to change network economics substantively.

Solid


Solid (derived from "social linked data") is a proposed set of conventions and tools for building decentralized Web applications based on Linked Data principles. Solid is modular and extensible. It relies as much as possible on existing W3C standards and protocols....This is the framework Marking is built on.



Marking and Digital Reputation

Marking delivers a reputable benefit through the use of a public, digital ledger that presents transactions between entities with a secured area that enables notation in relation to the transnational event. These systems can then be further developed and applied, with an array of complementary technologies as to improve support for reputation marketplaces and complex reputational based value matrices surrounding a person's activity and presentation of their achievements, via the world wide web.

Coin Specs

8mPoW

Eight distinct Proof-of-Work  algorithms contribute blocks to the Bitmark blockchain:

SCrypt, SHA256d, Yescrypt, Argon2d, X17, Lyra2REv2, Equihash & Cryptonight

This means that miners are able to mine Bitmark not only with our original SCrypt but, with these other algos too, several of which are ASIC-resistant, thus democratizing Bitmark mining and making it accessible even for the CPU miner.


Block Reward: 15 BTM max current epoch reward, modulated by Coin Emission Modulation v0.1

Coin Emission Modulation: CEM v0.1
   Bitmark v0.9.7.0 introduces Coin Emission Modulation, (CEM v0.1) scales up to 50% of block reward by reducing that half proportionately by the ratio of current hashrate to peak hashrate ( as experienced within the last year).
The rationale behind this is to reduce coin emission when demand is relatively low (as sensed by reduced hashrate) and only emit the epoch’s full reward when hashrate is at its peak.
Regardless of hashrate, 50% of the epoch’s full block subsidy (1/2 of 15 MARKS or 7.5 MARKS currently) is always given, to reward loyal miners supporting the Bitmark blockchain through low and high demand periods.
The Block reward for each algorithm is set once a day ( exactly every 90 blocks of that algorithm's block production) for the next 90 blocks of production.
Please check explorer.bitmark.co for any algo's current reward and to see when the reward will be recalculated.


Block Time: 120 Seconds
Block Maturity: 720 Blocks (~1 day) to discourage multipools
Block Halving: Reward halves every 3 years, with intermediate decrease every 18 months (20 coins initially, 15 after 1.5 years, 10 after 3 years, etc...)
Difficulty Retargeting:  Dark Gravity Wave v3  with SurgeSupressor & Resurrector Functions
All eight PoW algorithms are governed for mining difficulty by custom Dark Gravity Wave v3. “Surge Supressor” triples difficulty if 9 in-a-row occurs from the same algo;
“Resurrector” slices difficulty by 1/3 if an algo has not contributed in over 160 min.

Total Coin Supply: ~27.58 million (27,579,894.73108000 exactly)

That website will soon be replaced with a new one...we are working through some final edits and we should have it out shortly.

To answer your question....the Project Bitmark DevTeam has always been a volunteer driven opensource community. We strive to maintain a decentralized handle on the project and seek to deliver on our promise of providing a leverage-able web-scale reputation framework, which we call Marking.

Built on a SOLID framework by our lead dev Melvin Carvalho https://github.com/melvincarvalho && https://melvincarvalho.com/#me
