Topic: Bitmark - page 79. (Read 622228 times)
I'll add lastchangetime, or the details of the block at last change, to http://api.bitmark.co/
I love this coin and support the developers 100%. I believe this is a phenomenal idea. One of the very few coins that have a legitimate purpose. It can and will stand on its own merit unlike many of the clone coins seemingly released by the dozens each day. lol
One question and it maybe a noobish question but is there a way to discover how many blocks have been processed since the difficulty was last re-targeted? I've tried to support the network even during these higher difficulty times but it seems re-targeting has to occur soon. Seems the last re-targeting was Oct 3?
Thanks,
Adam

yes is possible, this is how I do it:
Current block: 45307
number blocks per retarget: 720
45307/720=62,926388888888888888888888888889
Meaning a fraction of 0,07361111111111111111111111111111 is left, which is ( x 720) 53 blocks

Looks very interesting, thanks for sharing!
As I stated in Slack...Great song
As for the project - we continue moving forward. At the moment the finish line is but a distant mirage that fuels my excitement. I quite enjoy waking every morning, enthusiastic about the work that awaits me.

This is a coin I can support. Good work guys!
The "reputation" metric isn't so important, and it is not fixed.
On day one reputation may be all marks received.
day two it may be weighted by the reputation of the giver.
day three it may recognise that somebody is classed as a domain expert and weight marks they give in their subject domain more highly, if one physicist marks a paper from another for example.
day four, who knows.
The ability to give reputation and have it be usable/useful is the important part for now. Exposing the marking ledger allows for more advanced reputation metrics to be generated over time.
To draw an image and share it with friends, gain reputation for it, give some to another artist who's work you appreciated and also buy some art supplies with it, that's the important enabling bit.
This may be done, but the goal is to allow me to mark you for saying that, for reputable viral material to be naturally marked and crowd-rewarded, also including the curators, rewarding them for sharing something others appreciate. For a listener to reward an artist, and an artist to thank the listener back with a store-able version of a song. This is business, for bigger business, let us say the music artist was given some artwork for the cover by a designer, then they can choose to manually or automatically aportion a fair amount of reputation to that person.
Google et al, we do not preclude their business models, we just offers alternatives, they may use them too in replacement or to compliment their existing systems.
Complimenting is better than replacing. From day one we have said "work with what exists".

Real World Usage: Events and Festivals.
Online Community Usage: Music and Marking
A large print & web magazine group are joining together with a handful of music distributors and PR companies to create a new online music community and associated print magazine. Several web properties are to be folded in to one, relaunching a previously market leading music+culture brand. The combination of 14 companies in total have significant resources for the project, and plan to use marking for all aspects of the community website. Their team have started work today, and are aiming for a mid December launch.
This is an ambitious project with progressive thinking in an important industry. Their goals are to create a space where people come first, in touch with artists and venues to create a living community, and where marking is used to provide equal opportunity. The initial model is mark a track/venue/artists to give reputation, mark a higher amount to get the download of the track / tickets to the venue (payment). They are also particularly interested in the aforementioned Events and Festivals usage and are excited at the prospect of having the same approaches used in the physical world.

Now this is interesting.
YouTube (Google) pays out about $1 billion/year to media companies based on views, etc...
But this is likely mostly going to established entities with complex contractual agreements...
You wanna start poaching some of that is a more decentralized way (DISRUPTION)...
And also paying ordinary people for producing valuable, viral material.
IMO, As a 20 year pro trader...
I was not particularly impressed by the Polo Troll Box Marking Rankings...
No one ever posts valuable trading information on the web (you just trade and post wrong info)...
So the Polo thing is just Ranking based on usage and random/false information.
99.99% of financial predictions on the web are random... people are easily "fooled by randomness".
I realize BTM is scaling up with test projects...
But you cannot go BIG without being VERY DISRUPTIVE... and pissing off "important industries".
Wrt to Poloniex while I found that people would mark higher amounts for what they considered good analysis or similar, markings in general are given out more for just general approval or good content. If there was a separate marking function to mark people exclusively on their trading advice then maybe that would mean that ranking could be a better representation of people posting valuable information. But for now it's more of a general ranking.

Thanks for providing the update Mark. I had over looked it earlier.
That being said, yes we do have quite a bit of work to do.
To the Bitmark Community, Thank you for the support. We highly value your unwavering loyalty to the project!
IMHO - y'all are one of the best communities in this forum

Amazing news. All these major projects are very exciting. People using marks will be awesome to see.
I have a multipart series going on right now about all the development going on in Bitmark four devs. Part 1 & 2 are here:

Hypothetically speaking, let's say there was such demand that blocks were being found every 30 seconds (4x the target rate) so that 720 blocks were generated by the time 6 hours went by. Would the difficulty then re-adjust after those 6 hours and throttle the production down to a block every two minutes ?
Yeah, the algorithm works quite well on that end of the spectrum. We will never see an extended over production of BTM. It's when the profitability compared to other scrypt mining oportunities is seen as "less profitable" that it slows down. And I use the term "less profitable" very loosely, as BTM doesn't really conform to the standard profit calculations with the 720 block maturity.
I'm just wondering if people realise how rare BTM is? If the coin had stayed strictly to the 2 minute schedule since inception, there would be around 1.5 million coins in circulation, however in reality only a little over 900,000 have been minted. Unless the hashrate explodes to LTC levels, it is highly unlikely that the blockchain will ever catch up to the planned release schedule.
Yeah, I don't think too many people have much of idea of what's going on in general. Part of that is my fault as I don't really go around talking too much about everything that goes on in slack(it's all public though, anyone is more than welcome to join and see what's going on for themselves). Basically there's a lot of development going now from four devs working hard on their individual marking projects and recently two major third party projects being explored right now that look very promising.
This thread needs a bump and newcomers
Real World Usage: Events and Festivals.
We have a unique opportunity to prove all elements of Crypto Currency and Marking at a series of events and festivals. Two small regular venues are available for us to test over the coming months, with the first large event in Summer 2015, 5-10k people per day expected to attend. The systems will then be matured through a series of larger events, with a view to provide a cashless system for the European Capital of Culture 2018 in Leeuwarden. This is an area with 750k and a further 2-3 million are expected to attend.
If anybody is interested in helping us plan for and test please speak up, some other projects such as ORA have already agreed to help. To have real world end to end testing in semi controlled environments will surely do much to advance our combined goals.
