0.250% (max) of the block reward goes to the bitmark development fund Is that still planned or did it get scrapped It was scrapped and replaced with a donation based bitmark foundation. There is also to be a long running IPM, voluntary and entirely optional to raise funds for the foundation. BTC Donations will be used in line with the IPM Proposal, tl;dr: used to lease mining rigs to support the network, 5% of the generated bitmarks would go to a foundation, 95% distributed to investors. This has extra benefits for network health and miners. Our target is 0 BTC and 70,000 BTM. The BTMs in the foundation will not be touched until after 2015-07-13, longer if we can. We encourage donations of BTM, it will ensure this project lives long and can achieve what we plan. This week we will create an automated IPM pool, each donor will be able to associated a BTC address with a BTM address, any donated BTC will be spent on leased miners up to 35% of the network hashrate, the BTM produced will distributed to donors according to the amount they donated. 5% will go to the foundation, to be locked for future development. Development over the first year, or longer if possible, is voluntary.

Update1. We have successfully launched Bitmark. 2. The difficulty has already re-targeted twice by the maximum amount, currently it is 16. 3. Here are some links I would like to thank everybody for their kind words, excellent discussion, helpfulness, donations, and support. Today was a good day, it was only the foundation, tomorrow our work to earn value by being useful and easy to adopt begins. Bitmark Foundation BTM donation address: bQmnzVS5M4bBdZqBTuHrjnzxHS6oSUz6cG

I have some problems with the miningpool.co: 1) balance is not updated (I received two transactions and then balance is frozen); 2) incorrect Total Earnings (was decreased from 8 to 6).

please forgive basic question: is there an option to solo mine via the Bitmark-qt client?
For those that feel nostalgic about never having solo-mined, this would be an interesting experience. For a while, at least.

nice, i would like to attempt solo mining, never done it before. I have cgminer, what is an example of commandline that could be used for solo mining? thanks
cgminer --scrypt -o http://localhost:9266 -O Username:password in place of username, i put my address, correct? Nope, just look at the conf file, and copy from there

Yes, you can open "help > debug window" then type "setgenerate true" to turn on mining, or "setgenerate false" to turn it off. you can always mine from startup by setting "gen=1" in bitmark.conf with the network hashrate, it might not be worth it. ./cgminer --scrypt -o http://localhost:9266 -u yourrandomusername -p yourpassword where username and password are rpcuser and rpcpassword from your bitmark.conf you need to use cgminer 3.7.2 or earlier for scrypt support.

I'm seeing this too, it's shaved about 50 coins so far that I've noticed. Pool is stating 0 orphans as well. No other pools are jumping on this?

OK, apparently I am using not the right version of cgminer for scrypt mining, but interestingly, when joining miningpool.com, I get this: Nothing updated at the pool website, however. Does that look right? Pentamon

do you have scrypt in your .bat file? You may need to use version 3.7 cgminer I can't remember when they stopped supporting scrypt.

Use http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/old/3.7/ on linux That is how it should run, but you were using sha256 which is why you got banned. In IRC SecondPlace_ writes: "so how many coins are there in total? and is anyone selling some?" To answer the first question: Total Supply: ~27.58 million coins (27,579,894.73108000 to be exact). You can read about all of these things on the wikiThe difficulty will jump again soon to maybe 45.

ah, all the things that newcomers must learn. I was kind of surprised that it would use the lowly bitcoin asic that I have...
Thanks for the patience in teaching.

I wouldn't advise using the pool though something is messed up. I lose about 20 coins every time 1 gets confirmed in my account balance. I'll be lucky if I end up with a dozen after finding 25 blocks.

Maybe try sgminer. Did you say you were using a bitcoin asic?
