Thanks

I am glad the exchange question is now solved, and also that the markets have organized fairly.

Here are some short facts about market health

• 274000 BTM in existence
• 14200 (5.2%) BTM on markets
• 6360 (2.35%) BTM offered around the median production price
• 1380 (0.5%) BTM sold

I consider this to be very healthy, thank you for your confidence.

Project
Yesterday we gathered requirements for our website, I have summarised them and proposed the following


Can we agree to move forward with this?

Finally, Trello has begun to be used so that we may be transparently organised, anybody is welcome to view or comment https://trello.com/b/lG3Vefkx/general

And so we reach another milestone in Bitmark's journey...

Have been very much AFK for a few days - much to digest and absorb! All very interesting!

He sold 1000 BTM (hardly a small amount) in 5 seconds for between 11112 and 9102 satoshis. Our first dumper!  

Or he wants to lower the price ;] Look how small sell it is.

OK. The coin is on an exchange now.  The free market is now available to all.  Including morons..    Some idiot is selling for under 10K satoshis.  He either has free electricity or no brains or probably both.

270520

How many coins currently in existence?

Thank you for taking the time to review the code thoroughly and for your support.

Poloniex listed Bitmark BTM.

We will have a more formal project overview and roadmap soon, Medic is working on that.

Your getMarked question is very pertinent and we must make this clear. From the new OP, it is described as follows

Project Bitmark
Project Bitmark is an initiative to create an every day use alternative currency.

• A stable and balanced cryptographic currency named Bitmark
• A massive adoption programme under the banner of Marking

Bitmark is the core cryptographic currency, it's primary objectives are to be safe, secure, fast, actively developed, and easy to integrate for services and adopters. read more
Marking is a novel adoption initiative which enables every day people to use cryptographic currency in every aspect of their lives. read more

---

Under the banner of 'Bitmark' comes the standard client, api stuff, block explorers, mining, tools to use the block chain, and all the normal crypto currency things we see.
Under the banner of 'Marking' comes everything to do with wide spread user/service/business adoption and it is our primary focus. I encourage every one who hasn't to read the Marking document which details every aspect of how we will approach wide spread adoption.

The adoption side feeds requirements back in to Bitmark as time progresses, and Bitmark development will be responsive to the requirements of the varied user base provided by Marking.

I seek to refine and clarify this description further until such a time that it is no longer needed.

I think Trello would cover the roadmap, at least in the early stages. Once the project gets bigger, it might be important to say "This is our plan. We will do this step next and deliver it by this date." But, I don't think that's important right now.


Would you consider the GetMarked project as part of the core of Bitmark? Or is it a separate project/application built on top of the Bitmark technology? If it's not part of the core, I would split it out more on the website. It is weaved very close to the core Bitmark information. I would categorize it under the 3rd party software, or possibly under a new "official software" category. Since I imagine more projects will be built later, I would hate to see the core Bitmark information get lost in the sea of other Bitmark projects.

Thank you all.

I will propose the following initial website structure, we can finalise and refine each page as once it is created.

Hopefully the light structure is enough for us agree and move forward.

Do any of you have any corrections or commissions?

These were actually my own priorities to have ready also, almost all of the things you suggest are ready to have charts made and added We have all the live data from the entire network, and the IPM pool, ready to utilize, streamed as real time updates also where applicable.

So far I have three dashboard views in production:
1. IPM dashboard
2. Network and Mining overview - health, hashrate, difficulty, estimated next difficulty, mining calculators, info for miners, links to pools and documents etcetera
3. Block explorer, to be more like blockchain.info by the time I am finished

From what you suggest I would also propose:
4. project overview - commits, new integrations, posts / tweets, comments on things like trello etcetera
5. a mini overview of 1-5

Some of you heve already covered the aspects and subjects we should give priority in the site.

However, I would like to see live mini stats in a little box somewhere on the mainpage. I mean price, net hash, blocks info, even random live data (I guess we have plenty of ways to mirror some cool numbers on that). A small chart showing some relevant function progress. Those are things people like to see, and appreciate. I like monitoring everything (who doesn't?). If I have a small panel with live relevant data about the coin while I browse the portal, queue on IPM, or post some thoughts at the forum, it would be super cool and useful resource, I think.

Like coinsolidation said, it's good we begin to think 'the site' more like the Bitmark portal and design it with that already in mind.

I've created a Trello group for Bitmark:

Everyone is welcome. Just post your Trello user name here or PM me/contact me in the IRC channel #Bitmark and I will add you.
