I've had an offer of a matched donation. So now we only need to reach 0.3 BTC through the non-IPO to get all the resources required by the project. Project Status / Request for FundingThe project is in desperate need of a dedicated server and some resources, total cost of all resources is a one off amount of 0.6 BTC. Our current proposal can be found here: Non-IPO project funding?. Donations to 18rai2ichzUfXG6PVmUQLNPqBjtctnVRAD are also welcomed, if you donate please let us know so we can credit you in the bitmark client and on the website. This can be split between multiple people, it doesn't need one single backer of 0.3 Since this is a new page, please see the OP for full details and updates on the project.

nice, fused the two - very shiny: It would be nice to start a wiki page or repository for art work. Artwork is important, the more art of every style we have for bitmark the better.

Yes I do like it, but would like the bitmark logo to be as simple as possible, it should look good in black and white at 50px, and be simple vectors. Somebody I know IRL likes the logo you have produced for a different venture, which shares the BM initials. A compliment I think.

Ok: https://i.imgur.com/qC5HFQi.pngBtw next time i need size, and this should follow the "global" design of BitMark. If BitMark has not, should be created before every graphics.

updateRunning out of things to do for the clone-able reference implementation of bitmark. I am going to sleep on it, review tomorrow, and then release the Bitmark RI (Pfennig) so that people can begin cloning. Bitmark itself is 95%+ complete, it requires taxation added, further testing, a dedicated server, and then it is ready to go live, this is all dependent on when we manage to secure a server for the project. I'd like to thank everybody for their feedback, input, and polite useful conversation throughout the various threads. It's been nice to see this side of the community shining through. If anybody would like to try building from the source, it would be appreciated. ( remember you build this as you build the latest bitcoin, not like typical alts)

LogoInitial Base: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=660544.msg7665000#msg7665000Requirements: - "BM"
- purple (#330066 - or variation of)
- circular background
- white symbol
- the single currency line on left and double on the right
Since then mymenace has kindly provided three variations: I am very happy with all three, and feel each has a use. mymenace: perhaps it would be nice to have a mono (black and white) version of 1 and 2. Regarding three I feel like the outer "bitmark" text should be aligned with the central logo, do you agree? allow: it would be nice to spread the work load you obviously have good design skills, we need the equivalent of this logo for the website, document headers, and so forth. Would it be okay if I asked you put any efforts you are willing to contribute in this direction, using 1 or 2 above with some nice "Bitmark" or "Project Bitmark" text to the right of it. For the testnet logo we need an alternative color, I very quickly autobalanced the original logo to create this, perhaps an alternative color would be more suitable, what do you both think? Soon, we will also need to consider a design for the website, and also a domain for the project. Thank you very much for your valuable contributions, they are very appreciated. Branding UpdateOver the next 24 hours we will be creating a new repo on github for branding and artwork. Mymenace has kindly offered to make the aforementioned changes and commit low and hi res art work to the new repo for other contributors to use and adapt as needed.

OrganizationI have created a new github organization for the project and migrated repository's over. Project Bitmark can now be found at https://github.com/project-bitmarkThere will be 3 repositories created initially: - /bitmark the development tree of Bitmark
- /art-of-bitmark branding and artwork associated with Project Bitmark
- /pfennig cloneable reference implementation of Pfennig, the Bitmark Core
Pfennig - a reference implementation of bitmark, based on the latest bitcoin codebase, migrated to scrypt, reconfigured, with unconditional support for all implemented BIPs, and fully tested - is being prepared for release imminently. The purpose of Pfennig is to offer the community a new starting point when creating scrypt based coins, rather than the existing unsupported legacy code most alternative coins are based on. Art of Bitmark - Low and hi res branding files should be available in the art of bitmark repo from tomorrow. Bitmark - following the release of Pfennig, Bitmark specific modifications will be implemented creating a second round of genesis blocks and test chains. After thorough testing we will gitian-build the first Bitmark release for all platforms and release to the public.
