Bitmark

[coinsolidation]

In any case, I have it available if need be.  I can PM you the link if you wish.

Perfect, please do, and thank you for your valuable help testing bitmark/pfennig today.

I think we will need to do one more test run once I've cross compiled for os-x, and then we can class the code as 'good', release Pfennig, then move on with Bitmark.

Latest Update (copied to head of new ann page)

• Guriqbal Pandher has kindly donated 0.2 BTC (1/3rd of the budget needed!) to the project.
• Bitmark/Pfennig Pre-Release testing has:
• - been completed on windows vista 32+64bit, windows 7 32+64 bit, and windows 8 64bit
• - been completed on linux, including ubuntu 10, 12 and 14
• - successfully been run through TOR, we need to setup some onion addressed nodes to test further

Project Needs

• A further 0.4 BTC total funding
• Somebody to provide a copy of MacOSX10.7.sdk.tar.gz, the mac 10.7 SDK so I can cross compile binaries for osx
• Somebody to test the client and daemon on fedora

The Bitmark/Pfennig pre-release can be found on Github.

Sounds great!

Yeah, sent you the link via PM.  I'll be around to guinea pig if need be.

Thank you, again.

I've updated the OP with some text to explain what Pfennig is, and how it relates to Bitmark.

If anybody has any confusion or questions, please ask, read back through my posts, or encourage me to take a day out sooner rather than later to update readme's and wiki's in line with the project status.  

edit: new topic of discussion for future planning Calling Merchants and Crypto Currency Integrators, what do you need?

Update and Request

Bitmark/Pfennig has been successfully built and tested on all common platforms now.

It would be nice to have an additional mac tester today, to use and test the pre release of bitmark/pfennig.

If anybody has a few minutes free, please download Bitmark-Qt.dmg, install, and then contact me with a bitmark address for an add node and to receive some test coins.

Thank you.

I've built two more coin logo options with a little cleaner font usage and more desaturated purple. If you like either of them, I can tweak anything you'd like, and make a branding guide for it.

Thank you, your efforts are appreciated, with the future in mind we have found that BMK is already used by financial institutions, "B" is used by the obvious, and so we reduced to two characters "BM" for the icon, and "BTM" for the currency code. I must confess that I am happy with the current logo and alternatives provided by mymenace.
 
Would you mind if I asked you to divert any attention you are willing to give to something else?

We have two current needs graphically:

• The word "Bitmark" for a full logo to use on headers and the website. example - our existing icon can be found here the alternative glossy logo is also fine to use as an icon prefix
• A logo for Pfenning, a simple "Pf" (uppercase P, lowercase f), 1024x1024 in png, any color but I personally like something dark for this, almost black.

Any efforts you may make towards either of these would be greatly appreciated.

coinsolidation/mymenace: Can we get the vector version of the logo uploaded to the Github repo? This will make future designs easier.

Talk to me more about the Fedora task.

I'm more of a CentOS man but the core is, literally, the same thing.
You need someone to build  the server and client components on it?

Yes, I currently don't have an rpm based linux distribution setup as vm or physical machine as I've migrated to debian across the board.
Building is of secondary concern, of primary concern is ensuring the cross compiled binaries provided for linux available under the pre-release work on either fedora or centos.
If you have a headless distro then fire up bitmarkd and see if it works. If a gui variant then bitmark-qt.

Thank you for your extensive testing macbackfat.

[macbackfat]

You are in luck. 

I have a handful of CentOS based VMs (6.4 to be exact) that I can put through the mill with the pre-compiled binaries.  I'll let you know how it works out.

Something like this?

Thank you, this is a good start.

I don't want to feel like an omnipotent leader here, but can we try white instead of yellow, and a second variant with "Pf" non-italicized with bases aligned, and finally, a monochromatic version (black and white).

Yeah, I can do that. I originally started with the letters lined up, but thought that particular combination of letters looked weird.

If it helps http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfennig .. there is a lot of historical usage, including a previously used currency symbol which has it's own unicode symbol.

I saw that, which is what I was going for with the 'f.' Unfortunately, almost no fonts have that unicode symbol built into them.


Here's a white text/monochrome version:




And alternate fonts:

Very nice.

To me, I like the last version on each row My preference is the monochrome version of the first version.

I would like to hear what you and others think.

Thank you.

Update

• The pre-release has been tested successfully on all platforms now, we are moving on with development (Pending confirmation CentOS).
• A further 0.1 BTC has kindly been donated by PondSea on behalf of the Qora Community, we are half way to our development budget goal. 0.3 BTC remaining.

another 0.1 BTC has been donated, thanks to Pentamon. Only 0.2 left to raise

+1 on the white/monochrome with the gradient.  That looks nice.

Goodbusy  I might say!
Finally a scrypt coin for the modern scrypt miner with some great thoughts behind it and some real knowledge.
