So instead of buying hash anyone who wants to contribute to the project should put that money towards the foundation's IPM fund right?

I would say could instead of should. If putting money towards the IPM, then 95% of the coins you would generate will be sent to you, with 5% for the foundation. Or you can mine yourself, and if you like donate any percentage to the foundation. Until we have documented or created a way to keep track of things for the IPM, it may be better to just mine yourself, and donate to the Bitmark Foundation BTM address if you like. There is no rush, and the first bitmarks mined cannot be sent until 720 blocks later, roughly one day. The genesis block has been found, with a timestamp of 18:00:41, and the message "13/July/2014, with memory of the past, we look to the future."
Everything is ready for launch, with some hours spare.

Will there be pools setup at launch? |

No pools have been organized to be setup, as that would be against the principals of the project (no hype, natural adoption and all). miningpool.co have stated that they will be adding support when bitmark launches, so that is one for sure. |

What sort of hash estimations are we looking at here? I'd imagine not very much at this point.
Anyone have any guesses as to what the network hashrate will look like?

Don't know but I was considering renting hash, in which case I need a pool  |

I have no idea, the difficulty for the first 720 blocks is set to 1, which needs about 30MH/s, we may get more or less. If you are planning to rent some hashing, please try to choose a lower amount for longer, rather than a high amount for a short period of time. Don't know but I was considering renting hash, in which case I need a pool As far as I know there will be one from miningpool.co very quickly. Hired rigs will work with your own bitmark instance, as long as they support solo mining with getblocktemplate. |

DEV - You have done a great job with The Project Plan for BitMark. Execution with help from the BitMark community has been admirable.
With launch imminent, continue to Monitor/Control and Maintain a Quality culture of continues improvement.
The BitMark Project will succeed - Bravo!

Rather concerned that miningpool.co seems to be down
One of my favourite pools - hope all is well...
Yes, the front end was down for around 5 hours which has not happened for a long time.  When the front end goes down the stratum servers are usually unaffected (unless it is a network issue with my service providers). Meaning mining continues on as usual and when the front end comes back up all shares and payments are processed as would normally occur. The Bitmark stratum server will be running on an Amazon instance so should have no network issues. |

edit your bitmark.conf to include rpcuser=bitmarkrpc
rpcpassword=yourpassword
daemon=1
server=1
and then use those details in cgminer to connect to your node on port 9266. |
