Bitmark Release is 2014-07-13 at 18:00 UTCThe
community has decided, Bitmark will be released at 18:00 UTC on 2014-07-13. Tomorrow.
Branding Allow is producing some very fine work for Bitmark, not only what you see above but also a home page for the website. I will re-brand the client using
his proposed work today.
Jays Jerky and Goodies deepcoreotc has
kindly offered to donate 20% of his online sales profits to the bitmark foundation. This is very admirable.
I would like to remind him and all of you, that any donations will follow
the IPM model. The donation will be used to hire mining rigs to
support the network, and he will receive 95% of the bitmarks mined, 5% will go to the foundation. I hope his kind offer and belief in the project will therefore pay him dividends in the future.
is 30mhs too fast for the development?
It is better to launch with a difficulty too high than too low. If it is too high the first blocks will be mined slower, which will be novel for the launch a new currency. If it is too low, the difficulty can increase up to 4 times.
The value was chosen to be a reasonable starting difficulty, and to ensure the first change is fairly accurate.
Since the block reward maturity is 721 confirmations, there will be no bitmarks available to transfer until after the first difficulty change, so speed of those blocks does not matter.
Thank you for the many kind words, and the many pages of useful discussion.
Seed Nodes If anybody plans to have a bitmark node running on a server, and knows the fixed ip in advance, can you let me know so I can add it to the seed list before release. We have three so far.
It would be nice to also have a TOR node which accepted IP transactions, and an IPv6 node.
