Topic: Bitmark - page 126. (Read 622213 times)

1.   Bitmarks Vision, concise and direct
2.   Basic coin info:

•    Algorithm
•    Downloads
•    Pool links
•    Project communication links (GitHub, IRC, Bitcointalk.org)
•    Project links (Bitmark.com / GetMarked.org)

3.   IPM integrated into a site “TAB” with layman info
4.   Perhaps integrate a twitter feed: @ProjectBitmark last 3-5 tweets
5.   What makes Bitmark Different (separate from vision) - perhaps lower on the page

I wholeheartedly agree, to cover things like using the client, backing up, restoring, generating addresses, etcetera.

This is out with my set of skills, do any of you have the skills to do this, perhaps collaboratively, or know anybody that may?

I see we are close to refining a specification of what is required, perhaps a few more replies and we can propose something.

Current Topic: Please all list what you feel it is important to provide on the Bitmark website, perhaps with a number 1-10 of importance beside each item.

Step by step guides are good for newcomers. +1

My world view, is that Marking and getMarked will be the public face for the every day person, with the complex crypto part abstracted away. Think Bitmark as the core, and Marks/Marking as the daily use front.

For that reason, I suppose the Bitmark website for now is targeted more at the crypto aware, and is to serve three purposes:

1. To send those seeking information to that information quickly (miners to pool, people to downloads, etc)

2. To overview the project to people like those in this thread, to developers, service providers, and interested parties so that may join and discuss our approaches, become part of the community.

3. As a channel to quickly notify as to what we are doing, and seek input from anybody who is willing.

Perhaps the word 'portal' is more applicable, until such a time that it becomes a community, and then a technical resource area.

Oh, another important thing but not necessarily immediately critical would be a step by step guide for people to get started with Bitmark. 6

Also, maybe even some additional guiding for people not familiar with crypto. 3(for now, more important in the future)

Media kit. 2(again, for now)

I'm a little late, but wanted to agree with these opinions. We definitely need a website to point people to instead of a thread that was started before a lot of the final decisions on Bitmark were finalized.

A blog. 6

I'll post more as I think of them.

in my view the web site should be the place where someone - especially those who doesn t know anything about crypto scene- can find these informations:
- what bitmark is
- how to use its tecnology explaining it step by step
- how to buy bitmark and to start
-support


it s all obvious. i mean a web site user oriented. Simply and easy as much is possible

Okay, let us provide that then.

Please all list what you feel it is important to provide on the website, perhaps with a number 1-10 of importance beside each item.

Collaboratively defining what is required will help us not to miss anything obvious.

I do, yes.

Especially considering forking discourse and adding a completely new functionality based on a completely new invention(Marking) is a major project.

I actually had no idea that you intended(or were considering anyway) to launch the website fully complete with the fork of discourse included. In a vacuum of course having that part of the website fully functional at launch would be great, but in reality it's probably going to be a lot of time and work on your end as you know. And I think people are getting to the point where we would love to be able to just link people to bitmark.co, with or without a discussion area. Especially considering we already have this thread and IRC.

It is very important, imho, yes.

I should clarify that 'discourse' is community software, something we will use as our own discussion forum on bitmark.co

Do you all feel it is wise to give priority to the creation of an informational website at bitmark.co, as zadinga said 'to give us a face', adding in later our community software? Please confirm.

About the network hashrate and the difficulty rise, I was expecting that about a week ago. That only shows that what we're doing is getting noticed and people, despite we've chosen not to be prematurely listed on Exchanges, are seeing the true potential of thie Bitmark project and getting all the estimated numbers proven to be right regarding the coin value.

So, everybody knows already that sooner or later they'll have to come and be part of it. And the sooner the better

About the site and the getmarked powered community spot, my oppinion is we should publish the site with the IPM pool support and the already created utilities as soon as possible. We need a face. With relevant information, a good navigation system node to everything Bitmark related, with our colors, our goals, our achievments, etc. - the Bitmark home with everything the 'normal' user, even an outsider of the cryptocurrency universe, may easily understand - the fundamentals of what is Bitmark and why everybody should join us.

Then we should hit the charts. I mean Exchanges.

Then the kick start of getMarked with the 'discourse' community to serve as a community spot, ofc, but also as a getMarked lab where we will develep and experiment new services, interfaces, api's etc.

So, resuming, answering your question: We should come with what we have now if what we have now is ready and awesome!
And I know it is.

I definitely think there should be an informational page up as soon as possible. The discourse community is important but the website should not be depend on it imo.

Having bitmark.co to link to rather than a 43 page thread here is important I think. While the OP is great, some people might prefer a different format.

I do believe a website should be created first, as I think as we speak to more people about BitMark and its projects people will find it more comfortable visiting the website than a forum, just my opinion.

Seems like we need both, but firstly growing discourse community is more important in my opinion. After first milestones will be reached and dynamic of community grow will rise then such a website that will serve as a discussion and information platform will be needed (Nxt done it similar as far as I remember). Firstly it could be only informative website with a forum-like tool added later imho.

Milestone We have slowly reached a difficulty of 56, with an average hash rate of over 2 GH/s, there are only a handful of scrypt coins at this difficulty or higher.

Questions

Our website will have a large structure, with many resources and informative views. It will also house our discourse based community, with marking support.

The question is one of priority.

Should the website be created and put live quickly, providing a coherent informative place where people can join us and overview what Bitmark is about, with the discourse community added later?
Or perhaps we should stick with the current plan, to provide the discourse community and everything else, all at the same time?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

Bitmark IRC channel too for anyone who is interested.

Thank you.

The thread has been a little quiet today as most people involved are spending their time creating interesting things for Bitmark, or feverishly mining, or setting up businesses around it.

We are hear watching for questions and to welcome new people in

Monsanto, we can quickly modify or create anything you need, please let me know any particular tools you like to use for other currencies and we will fork them and add Bitmark support.

 Loyal miners on pools,great community,cool active dev,healthy coin...

No stress with you guys,

thanks and regards
