What happened to Bitmark? Why it has fallen so significantly when it always cost about 10k satoshi?

what's the problem

Reaching out to Poloniex now....we will need to ensure Polo provides us notice prior to placing the wallet under maintenance again

did not last 15 days

BTM is currently under maintenance or experiencing wallet issues. Deposits and withdrawals will remain disabled as we work to find, test, and audit a solution. Thank you for your patience in the meantime.
 
unbelievable

Amazing Work Guys!

Extremely pleased with how our DevTeam has stepped up and made this happen...We are now on track, we have set goals and deliverables for the remaining QTRs and we should have a timeline out soon-ish. The core updates take priority as we all know...then we need to address the final touches on the website ans move forward with implementations, marketing, etc

Fellow Bitmarkers, please check the discussion on merge-mined vs. native mined here:



 I would like to get some opinions on: ¿ Should we favor native blocks over merge-mined blocks ? , and if so, in what ratio.

We're coding the proposed Bitmark v0.9.7.3 fork to have 2 variants of each of the 8mPoW algos, the native variant (not merge-mineable, no AuxPoW) and a merge-mineable variant (AuxPoW-enabled).
For now, we are coding to have block time targets for each variant the same: 32 minutes. (This is necessary to maintain the overall block times at 2 minutes)
The question is: ¿ Should we favor the ratios of native blocks over merge-mined blocks ?

              Ratio                  Target  Time           Target Time        (minutes)
          native:merged                 native              merge-mined
          --------------                -------             -------------
                1:1                       32                     32
                2:1                       24                     48
                3:1                       21.333....             64
                4:1                       20                     80
                5:1                       19.2                   96

I don't disagree...we welcome any capable dev's that wish to assist us in delivering to market.

That said, please look into what SOLID is and how the framework will be the tip of the spear when it comes to this.

That website will soon be replaced with a new one...we are working through some final edits and we should have it out shortly.

To answer your question....the Project Bitmark DevTeam has always been a volunteer driven opensource community. We strive to maintain a decentralized handle on the project and seek to deliver on our promise of providing a leverage-able web-scale reputation framework, which we call Marking.

Built on a SOLID framework by our lead dev Melvin Carvalho https://github.com/melvincarvalho && https://melvincarvalho.com/#me

EXAMPLE:

• Send and receive payment from a URI (uniform resource identifiers) verified as being 'owned' or 'produced' by someone
  

• Bitmark uses 'Linked Data' technologies to significantly improve the number of transactions the system is capable of in any given time-period. This in-turn aids with scalability, usability and Applications possible for this technology, which is currently not be as easily addressed using traditional cryptocurrency technologies.

• Marking provides a means to remunerate content creators, by adapting the intention of a 'like' or a '+1', or other social-confirmation, into something that is valuable, transferable, and reputable.

Incentivizing the Content Creator

Bitmark enables the use of social-gestures and digital investments to create, establish and build monetary value in means that were simply impossible prior to the advent of Marking. Whether it be applied for providing recognition for a video you produced, shared or 'liked', through to new ways to pay street vendors, those authoring free software on the web, those seeking a low-friction way to license and distribute protectable intellectual property, organizations looking for a new way to establish a voting mechanism for administrative purposes or non-profit organizations seeking new, incremental ways to build or maintain their non-profit activities through social-engagement.

The New Social Reputation Standard - Marking via "MARKS"
Bitmark provides new funding mechanisms for funding products and services valued by communities.
These systems can easily be applied to web-resources such as Wikipedia, via simple integration that supports simply 'marking' an article you've read or 'marking' Wikipedia itself as a resource you value. In-turn, these activities can be applied to modern Digital Reputation systems, which act in-turn to change network economics substantively.

Solid


Solid (derived from "social linked data") is a proposed set of conventions and tools for building decentralized Web applications based on Linked Data principles. Solid is modular and extensible. It relies as much as possible on existing W3C standards and protocols....This is the framework Marking is built on.



Marking and Digital Reputation

Marking delivers a reputable benefit through the use of a public, digital ledger that presents transactions between entities with a secured area that enables notation in relation to the transnational event. These systems can then be further developed and applied, with an array of complementary technologies as to improve support for reputation marketplaces and complex reputational based value matrices surrounding a person's activity and presentation of their achievements, via the world wide web.

Project Bitmark

Created in 2014 as an every day use alternative currency, with No premine, No IPO, Nothing unfair, No clone, No old code bases, No untested code

Bitmark - a stable and balanced cryptographic currency. Its primary objectives are to be safe, secure, fast, actively developed, and easy to integrate for services and adopters. (read more...)
Marking - our massive adoption program which fuses reputation+currency, the primary focus of Project Bitmark. Marking enables people to apply crypto currency simply to every aspect of their lives. (read more...)

Coin Specs


Eight distinct Proof-of-Work  algorithms contribute blocks to the Bitmark blockchain:


This means that miners are able to mine Bitmark not only with our original SCrypt but, with these other algos too, several of which are ASIC-resistant, thus democratizing Bitmark mining and making it accessible even for the CPU miner.


Block Reward: 15 BTM max current epoch reward, modulated by Coin Emission Modulation v0.1

Coin Emission Modulation: CEM v0.1
   Bitmark v0.9.7.0 introduces Coin Emission Modulation, (CEM v0.1) scales up to 50% of block reward by reducing that half proportionately by the ratio of current hashrate to peak hashrate ( as experienced within the last year).
The rationale behind this is to reduce coin emission when demand is relatively low (as sensed by reduced hashrate) and only emit the epoch’s full reward when hashrate is at its peak.
Regardless of hashrate, 50% of the epoch’s full block subsidy (1/2 of 15 MARKS or 7.5 MARKS currently) is always given, to reward loyal miners supporting the Bitmark blockchain through low and high demand periods.
The Block reward for each algorithm is set once a day ( exactly every 90 blocks of that algorithm's block production) for the next 90 blocks of production.
Please check explorer.bitmark.co for any algo's current reward and to see when the reward will be recalculated.


Block Time: 120 Seconds
Block Maturity: 720 Blocks (~1 day) to discourage multipools
Block Halving: Reward halves every 3 years, with intermediate decrease every 18 months (20 coins initially, 15 after 1.5 years, 10 after 3 years, etc...)
Difficulty Retargeting:  Dark Gravity Wave v3  with SurgeSupressor & Resurrector Functions
All eight PoW algorithms are governed for mining difficulty by custom Dark Gravity Wave v3. “Surge Supressor” triples difficulty if 9 in-a-row occurs from the same algo;
“Resurrector” slices difficulty by 1/3 if an algo has not contributed in over 160 min.

Total Coin Supply: ~27.58 million (27,579,894.73108000 exactly)

I totally agree with you. This project deserves to be! But, yes, it will hard to stay strong with such a big competitive market.

     We invite all developers to review our code, provide feedback, and report any issues. In return, our bug bounty program will compensate you for discovering issues that could potentially impact the security and performance of the Bitmark blockchain

    Our team will assess each submission individually and assign a severity level according to its likelihood and security and performance impacts. Compensation will depend on the severity of the issue found.



* Critical: 10000 MARKS - A critical bug is a bug that will enable stealing or loss of funds
* High: 5000 MARKS - A high bug significantly affects the ability of the system to operate.
* Medium: 2500 MARKS - Medium bugs entail an issue regarding operation not exactly as designed or intended, but not causing the loss of funds nor impeding operation completely.
* Low: 1000 MARKS - Low bugs are less significant errors
* Informational: 1 MARKS - Informational errors have no impact on the operation of a the system but should be brought to attention, such as a comment not matching the updated code, etc.

Note:
These MARKS denominated bounties are good thru October 1, 2018
(will revise after that date to adjust for possible value changes)
