Bitmark

[Este Nuno]

It's not dead, people are still around. Mark is currently in a bad situation but is getting it sorted out now. Medic and Neleonele are in contact with him frequently, probably on a daily basis.

The multi user wallet app is supposed to be done or be very close to being done. I'm not sure exactly.

This is all really vague, and doesn't answer any of my questions.

1. Why don't we have any updates that were supposed to come out 5 weeks ago?
2. What is the next expected update?
3. When can we expect the next update?
4. Is anyone working on Marking?
5. Can we get regular updates on what is happening?

No it's not vague ... Mark is homeless at the moment, ... do you think he gives a fuck about BTM at this very moment? Have some compassion you insensitive motherfucker. Imagine being homeless .. do you think Mark has any capacity for anything else other than survival? Keep it real dude!!!

It is vague. "in a bad situation" "getting it sorted out" "probably on a daily basis."  "supposed to be done or very close to being done." None of these statements actually tell me anything about the current progress of Bitmark.

As for Mark himself, he has proven and admitted that he lies compulsively to cover his own fuckups. I'm not yet convinced that he's actually homeless, much less working on the code he says he's working on. Call me insensitive if you want, but until I see proof of progress, I will take all of his words with a grain of salt. "Fool me once, shame on you..." and all that.
.

Everything he's claimed has been independently verified by Medic, Neleonele, and Batesresearch. I understand why you're skeptical though, so is everyone else.

Leathan recently mentioned that he's been working on some stuff related to Bitmark. He's was away for a couple of months but he's just come back.

As far as other people working on things, I assume it's a similar situation as it was before: people are waiting for some of the basic building blocks of marking to build off of, like the multi-use wallet app that will hopefully materialize at some point in the near future.

When is this conversation from?

Convo is from yesterday.

I'd be very careful buying before any code is uploaded to git.

good advice, although BTM is a real bargain now, and coinsolidation is active again on slack

Bargain to say the least...

Anything new here?

No, but we're going to be combining efforts with people working on GameCredits(GMC) to get the multi-user wallet app that's needed for marking. Both projects need the same thing to build off of so it makes sense to combine resources in this case.

If Mark decides to upload his own version, that would be great too. But we don't intend to rely on a single developer any longer, instead it's probably better just to push it forward and try to get things built piece by piece if need be. Mark is still in contact via email with some community members, but he is dealing with his own issues and hasn't been on slack or anything recently.

I just found out about Bitmarks, on Poloniex.  Kinda fun getting "marked" in the troll box.  Someone even gave me 1000 "marks".  Sure nice of them, that's for sure... I'm getting "pinker" by the day! :-D

My question is, if Bitmarks is a PoS coin or PoW coin?  Are there other places where you can earn/win Marks?

Read that the dev, Mark... is now homeless?  If so, don't stand on a street corner, in this kinda heat!  It will kill you.  Have enough pride in yourself to actually DO something for financial requests.  Washing car windows/windshields or helping with groceries (loading into a vehicle) is a way to get someone (including me), to offer you a few dollars.

If Jesus is all you have
You have all you need!

Amen!

Bitmark is PoW using scrypt.

At the moment I don't think there is another place using marks, but we had them in our slack and IRC channels not too long ago.

Mark mentioned that he's been busy earning money trying to take care of his family, so hopefully he can get them and himself sorted out and then be able to put some time in to finishing some marking related things at some point soon.

Yes, that is the config.

de-listed on rex 

[johndec2]

So...

1. Delisted on Rex. Minimal trade (probably by bots) on Polo
2. The only pool - xhash - dead (owing me 400+ BTM)
3. No blocks solved since pool died ~ 3 days
4. Dead coin?

To the guy that bought 2 BTC worth off me at 40K sat a few months ago.. Thank you..

@Mark, I've been trying to contact you via the email address you previously used since March, but you haven't replied as yet.

I know your life has been thrown into turmoil in recent months, and I understand you have many things to take care of.

I'm certain you will see this post eventually, and when you do, please contact me. We need to talk!

Take care

"Project Bitmark is an initiative to create an every day use alternative currency. No premine, no IPO, nothing unfair, no scam, no clone, no old code bases, no untested code, no token features, just what you need."

throw that upon any crypto trader and you just met several criteria for an entry. this coin has potential

[RawCrypto]

but ya no one is mining it, i have had a deposit stuck on rex for days now.....how detrimental is it if a coin is blocks unsolved behind? I have never mined so I don't know.....this is why I am always in favor of POS!!!

Hey Guys,

I know everything has been quiet lately with BTM...(I'm on our slack more often than here, because that is where the main community is).

We are still alive - just need to restructure our Developer situation.

hey, you guys are still alive ... excellent!

BTM is probably the most enigmatic coin I've come across. One of the better launches with a definite goal for mass adoption and an active community, just bogged down in all this weird ass scandal about coinsolidation... if Bill Clinton was a coin he'd be BTM!

I'm still holding my bag

Hey can I get a re-invite to the slack page? I was previously joined but when I changed my email address under the slack settings it locked me out somehow.
