I'm thinking about starting a website that will use getmarked. Mainly a platform to publish articles that can be marked and also a forum that can implement getmarked as a karma system at some point.

This is a wonderful idea. May I suggest that you only do it for the following reasons.
1. to gain experience if you plan to be a web developer
2. around a subject you feel passionate about

If 2 is not the case, and 1 is, then I propose that you come on board with GetMarked and Bitmark, there are many websites which need created, and if you are learning I will be happy to spend time with you, provide support, and mentor where I can.

I foresee that many plugins and integrations will need created, and some companies will approach GetMarked to integrate it on their blog, website, forum. Or ask for freelancers to integrate it. It could be nice to start out a career being a specialist in an upcoming technology, with full references and support from them.

There will also be a need as I have said for people to take over and 'own' GetMarked, you could be one and start that journey now.

I am sorry in advance if this is not applicable to you perhaps it is applicable to somebody reading.

plug-in the GetMarked system?

We can start with the popular ones and by demand, integrating each as we go. We must make them good so that maintenance does not become too high of an overhead.

I'd rather not do wordpress but I'm not 100% against it. But getmarked definitely has to have a wordpress plugin at some point! Think of the millions of people who use wordpress being exposed to Marks/Bitmark for the first time. It's like a faucet but for regular people who use the web. Such a massive untapped market of people not into crypto, but this gives them a way to actually use crypto without downloading anything and not risking anything yet.

I cannot improve what you have said, so I will bold and repeat it

Here we have somebody who has truly understood what is proposed, thank you Este!

Just for the record, 6 BTC equals 6 x minimum wage in my country and is a bit more them the sum of both me and my wife's mensal wages working full time as teachers in a College. This serves just as a side note to open our minds to the different real life realities we have in just a little community like ours.

The beauty of crypto is that it is not geographically targeted, the 'price-tag' value of a BTM will be the same as for you. Because your investment is so large in proportion to your income, we can hope the rewards will be too.

I understand that. And I agree. I've just prefered the crowdfunding was made on a proper platform, outside this thread, with visibility outside the community, with all the details, goals, timmings about the development process, aswell the funders rewards or prizes stated so everybody could understand what we're aiming and when should we expect to have the basic system ready to enter production stage. Like any other crowdfunding project, I mean

What you say is true. We should consider our first impressions to the outside world, it would be nice to show them something like GetMarked, not a thread in the alternative currency section of this particular website Wink

Can we reverse the situation and set unattainable targets? Then we can be featured on crowdfunding platforms but never receive any funds, free promotion and adoption.

The future of Bitmark is only limited by the constraints we impose on it... therefore, taking into account the substance found within the posts of our still young community, Bitmarks Future is Boundless

Pedantry follows...

Technically the future of Bitmark is unlimited precisely because we do impose constraints. Bitmark should be light and fast and fit for purpose, a module which is designed to be part of larger existing systems, not separate to them.
Bitmark the encompassing project becomes wholly unconstrained, as it's focus is on integration and adoption.
By placing constraints and specifying what we will not do, we enable ourselves to do many things.

GetMarked is an example of this, by removing 'bitmark' the program from the equation we open the doors to widespread adoption of the bitmark the currency, and give ourselves time to create many nice clients each with it's own specificity.

IMO - Bitmark does need crowdfunding and exposure, just not through this medium.

Peoples 1st Impression of Bitmark, must be a lasting impression.

Soon I will not need to reply, people are already saying what I would.

Get Marked Funding Goal: 0.6/8 BTC
