x-hash seems to be stuck for weeks now on any coins moving into confirmation mode. i've literally had coins just sitting there for a few weeks now in unconfirmed mode.

Is it time to call the a scam site yet, or can someone explain why they aren't communicating a response to this issue.

For now I would not mine anything to them , as they are not paying out.

they need to be held accountable if they are stealing or scamming! 

Woah, woah, woah. Xhash is not a scam site. This is simply due to the Bitmark protocol requiring 720 blocks for block maturity.

I keep asking about the scheme that was supposed to avoid this situation by supporting the nethash and I'm still waiting for a reply.

That's a valid question and worth discussing if you'd like. Not sure now much demand there would be for people to fund the IPM at this point.

Hashing should increase as demand increases though and right now there are multiple projects being worked on that are focused on increasing adoption via marking.

The holy grail for a difficulty algorithm would be one that could restrict supply and lower the difficulty based on price(demand). That way we would get all the benefits that we get now, but without the very slow network. I guess most people think such an algorithm would be too easily exploitable. But maybe one day with DACs or something similar something like that could happen.

Buck. It's not xhash's fault.  The coins take 720 blocks to confirm and this current round of 720 has taken a few weeks.  Everybody is in the same boat.  In a day or so we will move to the next round of 720, the diff will drop and the whales and multipools will move in and 720 blocks will disappear in a few hours... Then everyone will sit back and wait for the painful process to repeat.

IMO it's the matter of style. (and manners maybe) Wink I marked you first to say thanx and then replied to doug. It's much unlike the Polo box marking since we're trying to be conscientous here and join usualy more than one reply in a single post. Therefore, my two marks: marking should be applied to all +'s in a single post: (+_amount) for the poster above and (+ amount_@username) for all quoted only if it's in "+_amount_@username" format just to be sure to avoid any unintentional markings.
One esspresso later my thoughts are: ok, where's flexibility in such strict rule? Dang!
Other oppinions please.

+10 Thanks;

I have not worked on the script for i think a week now, I have to much reading that needs to be done and lots of other projects im doing that all meet up in the end.

But thanks to your advice I will add marking before quotes, and I will add the ability to add multiple people in the same post. Should be able to do it all in a day.. but i may not work on it for a two weeks.

I will however try to keep the syntax as flexible as possible. the /mark is IMO extremely unfreindly to the user. People like my mom would NEVER use it where even my grandma would use just +100. I understand that the raw +100 approach cant be applied to chat channels. I still think +100 can. I recommended this to polo and said they could turn the +100 pink to show the server had acknowledged the request and on the back end process it however they please even utilizing the same methods that /mark uses. Anyway they had reasons not to do this and i respect that highly. But I still do not like strict syntax. People of younger generations already use +100 everywhere. In fact with option 2 (see bellow) users could even do -100. and then at the end of the discussion process the total and conduct the transaction.

Trust me it makes my regex's much harder to have the syntax be so flexible.. but in the end if there is a problem with accidental markings i will switch default method to 2. or simply limit the max amount that is sent.


The two options:

1.) default - auto sends marks.

2.) user selected - sends= marks to an array for later processing at the users request.



P.S. New ledger location -> http://www.bitmarking.net/cgi-bin/x.cgi

Also the character ; will be used to terminate the reason for the marking. As you can see on the ledger its not implemented yet.

The blocks are slow because the difficulty is high and the amount of hashing is low right now.

Did you already ask Theymos if he wants to implement marking on Bitcointalk?
Does it need to be?
We can do it without official help, no?

That's part of the beauty of marking imo. Smiley It can be implemented anywhere with no need to ask for permission since it works as a separate layer. Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, anything. And very soon all of these things will be implemented and we can begin working on making the user experience as great as possible on our own implementations. And then we can also work on providing out of the box tools(code, documentation, support ect) for people to create their own marking implementations or integrations.

Correct, with many approaches.

1. text based +1 @username
2. link based from external applications
3. link/button based, with links in signatures to say "mark me".

1 can be stopped by moderation if they wish to be picky/annoying. 3 can also be made awkward, 2 cannot have anything done to stop it Smiley

edit: we can also add marking support to SMF itself so that any forum can plugin marking.

Not sure the coinwarz thing really made too much of a difference. The mining difficulty and hash pretty much strictly follows the price and is limited by the 4 * mechanism.

Reply with quote  #1688
if anyone is looking to mine Bitmark, i suggest that they read the whole project from the start, but if its too long to read there are some good links in the OP. i was lucky enough to get into the Bitmark thread early on in development so was able to keep up with the stages that occurred as it progressed, giving an understanding of the system.

we are ready to commit more hashing speed to the coin, but also need others to commit the hashing speed to support a stable growth, rather than the jump in for half hour or so at a time that is now occurring on the difficulty shift.

in my opinion BTM would have greatly benefited from not being listed in coinwarz, the instant top of the list that the network received has been the biggest issue recently with mining, so now we get to a similar fate as other coins with farms jumping on to reap before exiting quickly.

having the slow shift of 720 blocks, the multipool hash rape and dump cant happen so to speak, as coins take a week or so to be released. we just have to sit it out until the liquidity is reached and other miners realise that it is beneficial to stick with the network, as with Bitcoin mining.

+50 @leathan *Cheers mate! Wink

I want to mark you for the update. How can I do so?

I think you want this for notifications:



Not quite, what he needed was this: (pure marking) +20 @DougB62

And again, the new ledger url: http://92.222.25.245/cgi-bin/x.cgi


+20 for helping me debug;

If you take a look at the ledger your comment that i quoted sent out 20 marks to dougless and not 50 marks to me. It appears that all text before the quote is ignored. I actually did this on purpose since I thought users wouldnt do that. Let me know if you think I should alter the code to allow marking prior to the quote.


Also if you plus two people i think only the first +'ing and the fisrt @'ing gets the marks. Do you think I should make it so it sends out marks to all the @'s if there is 1 +'s? And if there is more than 1 +'ing each one is associated with the follwoing @'s?

Sounds confusing.. but if you follow what I'm asking you id love the feedback.. I am not going to work on the code today.. WHY?


IM WAY TO EXCITED TO TRY Pabloangellos mobile marking APP!!!!!! Im going straight to the bars to mark me some women! (no offence to women, quite the opposite)

Guys. Some hashrate would be handy.  15 blocks found in the last 24 hours.  At this rate it will take another 3 weeks to get to the next diff change, which will last a few hours and then back to square one.....  What happened to the scheme to support the hashrate?

Agree. Literally all the hash rate is at xHash.com. 2.0 G/h isn't going to bring any life blood into the network. We need to get this network hash up and to also spread it among the different pools. Right now a guy known as "nicos" is literally mining all the Bitmarks (currently controlling more the 50% of the hashrate). This is going to only hurt us in the short and long run.

Could do with some more hashes at miningpool.co  Tongue

Great job Este Nuno! I can't wait to see marking shine in all it's functionality. Cheesy

+20 @Este Nuno

http://92.222.25.245/x/x.pl?loc=btt

+100 For marking on the forums. However the ledger has moved to http://92.222.25.245/cgi-bin/x.cgi  

I will add a tutorial page when ?loc=btt is appended to the URL that will link the user to an explaination on how to mark on bitcoin talk and furthermore how to obtain marks and link their various marking accounts.

Also I will make a simple web GUI to deposit funds directly into their bitcointalk accounts so that they dont need to join slack/irc.

The reason the ledger has been moved is increased potential security. I just migrated all the data over to a (imo) more secure *nix system. I have ALOT of work yet to do on securing the system so please kids dont try forum marking at home. I think I have atleast 100hrs left on securing the server.

That said forum marking is ready for all to use. +'ing a comment will mark that comment owners respective bitcointalk account. Like I said ill get a website up explaining the details eventually.
