Can you tell us why you want the process of adding Bitmark to an exchange to begin now? I think your reasons would help those who feel it is too early.
To be honest I have mixed feelings. In one side I don't want an exchange now, because I'm here to hold longtime. I am not going to let go of my bitmarks atleast for a minimum of 6 months.
But on the other side the bitmark community consists of very few members at the moment. It is known and supported by very few members. I know that early adopters of a cryptocoin should have the advantage but there is also an idea of fair distribution. I am new to crypto and I am also new to mining. So many people don't know how to mine or even rent one. I don't know why but I think this coin has a great future. The more the coin is distributed, the more it is advertised and the more exposure it gets. Greater number of supporters and FUDers
, the more famous a coin becomes. More people will come who will develop third party apps and maybe also lend you a hand in the future. In short it will be widely adopted if it gets an exchange. By the way even if we add a request for adding Bitmark to an exchange, I think it'll take a minimum of 20-30 days for it to get added.
Valid points, I respect them all. Your final point, that it will take time to be added is good.
Perhaps your suggestion answers our questions, if we agree that Poloniex is a reasonable exchange, then it is fair for us as a community to say 'if you want an exchange for Bitmark then we recommend it be this one'.
Whether Bitmark is added or not, and when it is added, then rests with those who would find it useful to be there.
I am okay with this approach, it feels balanced, and resolves the issue.
I feel it is important to hear what deepcoreotc feels about the above.
On a different topic
[18:36] if all people were just hoarding them and not giving them [Bitcoin] away as freely as people used to we might have never reached this point
[18:37] people like to make fun of the guy who bought the pizza, but that was the first thing that i remember circulating around the internet among regular people
[18:37] the white paper was around for a while
[18:37] but the pizza was something that actually made it real
[18:44] it was certainly a positive landmark which enabled people to think of the digital currency as having real world value and utility. I was very pleased on that day.
[18:45] Sadly Bitmark can have no similar landmark, we can perhaps create our own.
[18:45] That is a good question, what are some milestones for the project?
[18:45] hmm, i'll have to think on that
Here is my stance on the above about adoption Let us not again misinterpret adoption with speculation. So here we must define adoption.
I would define adoption as the usages of a currency, ie bitmark, in the exchange of a good and or service. Traders on an exchanges are not transferring tangible(physical goods, or service). So early trading on an exchange has little reliance to adoption based on the definition here in stated.
I would support BTM being on an exchange
only in the following manner...(an exchange come to us here in this community, get to know us a community, become so moved by the support and establish base of the original ideas of this project that the exchange then says I see great potential in this community and the support there to: I will list this currency on my exchange.
If this happens or a situation very close to this, then the merits of the community would be a represented in the perceived value of our currency and the exchange would see that and act accordingly.
Now that many exchanges are moving away from the voting scheme, I foresee that many exchanges will start to focus more on initial community support then attempting to purchase a spot on the exchange.
yes I would accept btm, amount would be negotiated at the time this would happen
