Just want to point out if/when getMarked is funded he said that month would cover any and all work on Bitmark Core. Full time focus on both is the package as I understand it.

Also as a separate topic unrelated to the above quoted post: As anyone who hangs out in IRC knows Mark is away 95%+ of the time working on things. And has been answering peoples questions and doing calculations regarding the IPM. He's also been running all the pre-launch rounds of the IPM and dealing with all the rig rentals and seeking out miners from anywhere scrypt miners hang out to form a syndicate to cut costs.

I literally told him last night that he should take a a couple days off since he's been going non-stop since this thread was started over a month ago(he declined). So it's not hard to imagine why he's has some family concerns that play in to the current situation.

I'm just writing this in case someone is interested in the perspective of someone who hangs out in #bitmark 12 hours a day. I know that no one was questioning Mark's work and I'm not replying to anyone or any post in particular.

Sometimes this thread isn't sufficient to get all the spontaneous ideas and other stuff that goes on in chat, which is the main reason we're seeking out a new medium in addition to this thread. Mark often copy pastes chat logs and such but having an indexed forum type of thing would probably be better.

So on that note I suggested http://www.discourse.org/ as an option for a forum that we could potentially integrate with the getMarked system.

It's open source and created by one of the guys who started StackExchange(he's also guy who runs the blog CodingHorror).

Thoughts on potentially using discourse for discussion on our website?
