So what's up with that coin anyways, is it dead?
It can't seem to be traded anywhere but on Poloniex, but the wallet is frozen for now. Any idea how long it's been like that, and if the devs are still doing anything with that project?
Doing well, thank you. Unsure why Poloniex has the wallet frozen, but we are working on the next version which will be multiple Proof-of-Work with 8 algos to choose from for mining, improved difficulty retargeting (Dark Gravity Wave v3) and a variable block reward modulated by hashrate on the network. We hope that with this new version Poloniex will re-enable deposits and withdrawals.
Additionally, we are working on the higher level marking functions which are the reason for being for the coin.
At the moment, you can trade Bitmark (BTM) on TradeSatoshi.com, and we have a listing on Cryptopia.co.nz pending, which should come online early next month.
If you want to peek at the next gen code:
git clone https://github.com/project-bitmark/bitmark.git
git checkout 0.9.7
