Well put

We have moved to cold storage wallets for project funds, the new addresses are as follows for future transactions:

Thank you for the Update Mark - Always good to be proactive. Wise move & IMO you handled this well.

Joining the Supernet would bring Bitmark much more attention though.

this:

Why Bitmark will offer assistance etc to supernetwork is they are not joining, what Bitmark wil gain from it?

It is the opposite, we do not want the publicity and would suffer from it - check every post from every previous page and this will be clear.

We prefer to work quietly creating new useful things, without having to worry about threads full of noise and irrational trading. We are creating a distributed reputation system and mounting crypto on the web.

A way to frame it is that we work in parallel to the alt coin sector, would we integrate supernet? no. Are we doing work that can be intergrated in to supernet (or any coin) later? yes. Does our reputation system reside on the same level as qt's and p2p networks? no. Does it work on a layer above that can be bootstrapped on do other currencies? yes.

We are an open source development project with a growing list of contributors, the bitmark-btm bit is a foundation, something we require so that we have ownership over the code base and can add or subtract what we need to create a stable efficient network free from the troubles normally associated with 'coins'.

Each BTM is 1000 marks, and marks are tokens which you give to other people freely as reputation when they have earned it through the process of marking.

Our project is quite different, and may not even belong in the alt-coin section, we're just here temporarily until we have our own area of discourse.

I would encourage anybody reading to take the time to familiarize themselves with the project, if they are so inclined, and of a nature who likes to get involved with things and contribute.

If you are here as a trader because you've seen mention that we are NOT going to be part of supernet and wonder if there's some speculation to be done, you're probably in the wrong place, you won't benefit from our presence and we won't benefit from your noise - meant with the best of intentions of course.

Take a look at the previous 66 pages of discussion, there is no noise, no new faces wondering about marketing or prices, no shilling, no speculation, no trolls - just people discussing ideas and creating things - please don't reduce our thread to such a thing, we've worked very hard, and hope to be able to continue to.

Warmest Regards,

Mark

Exactly.

As another example, we are going to be knowledge sharing and specifying different ways to make acquiring crypto currency easier with leads and memebers of the Ora project, good people who are working hard to improve the ecosystem. It's just people who care about technology and enjoy making things working together, rather than traders uniting for common profit.

So supernet has both aspects, and our announcement is that after lengthy discussion, we are happy to do the technology improvement part, but not the currency trading price related profiting union part of it.
