I think the intention is just to focus on the long term development of the infrastructure and community and ignore the short term price fluctuations that come with the territory.
Exactly.
Androidicus and deepcoreotc, thank you for your kind words, they mean a lot to everyone involved I am sure.
I would also like to take the chance to thank you all, we have 10 pages of useful on topic discussion, many related other threads, a fully tested pre-release, and a funded project. That is a major achievement for everyone involved, in any setting, let alone the alt coin announcements section of bitcointalk.
We have the makings of a small Bitmark community, and I am already proud of it, of you.
Points to discuss1. A starting difficulty?
There is a balance between being able to generate the genesis blocks within 24 hours on a standard computer so that we may launch on saturday, and not allowing the coin to be hashraped too badly on launch. I previously though 2.4 but we may never see a genesis block at that difficulty.
Perhaps we start with 1, which needs 35MH of hashing to hit the block targets.
The maximum difficulty jump is 4x per retarget, so the first retarget would max out at 4, or 170MH.
After that first retarget I am unconcerned.
Is difficulty 1 a fair start for a scrypt coin?
2. Domain name?
We can pick another later for branding purposes, but we do require an available name today.
The obvious bitmark.org is taken, perhaps projectbitmark is available, any suggestions?
3. What have I forgotten?
Other than that, something like bitmark.cc (the CC being to crytpo currency... )
