When dose Wemark start selling images. Seems like all the talk went dark ????

They were gathering images prior to actually opening.  If I remember right, they said they expected to go live in June.

I'd wait until July before wondering much about them. 

I did go ahead and upload some images to give it a try, and those have not yet been reviewed.  Again, if I haven't heard from them by end of July, I'll contact them. Otherwise, stock is a long haul proposition. I don't worry about a week or two here and there...

Thanks for the info....W. Scott McGill

Me too

Are you sure your ID was not verified?  Mine was, about 48 hours or so after I applied.

They have not yet verified my tax info, but they state very clearly that they will not do that until you have sufficient sales for a payout.  Since they are not yet selling to the public, that has obviously not happened yet.

I can easily see why they would do that. Why bother spending the time and effort to validate tax info on those people that will never sell enough to receive a payout. This way it spreads out the effort, as photogs reach that level over a period of months, and they simply never bother on those that never reach the threshold (many of which will have never uploaded images after having their ID verified)

In fact, if you uploaded images, then your ID WAS verified.  You were not able to upload until the ID was verified. 

I am pretty sure you have simply not had the tax info verified. As I said above, that won't happen until you earn enough to receive a payout, as stated pretty clearly on the home page.

Mine also says not verified.

I uploaded my Id and photos a few weeks ago, still pending...

Not great for an outfit who claim to care about contributors

Three weeks later, I am still waiting for Id verification and photos evaluation. I have just sent an email, waiting for some details about the time it will take and the future market prices. Guess if I don't hear back, I will have to hit shift-click and delete all photos before we even start.

I am five weeks in without having my ID verified. Not a good start if you ask me..... W.Scott McGill

I asked on their Facebook page weeks ago said they would look at my application...still nothing...with the way Cryptos are currently drifting I wouldn't be surprised if the whole enterprise tanks....not impressed.

"We're announcing an exciting change in our roadmap, releasing a more extensive and ambitious alpha version of the Wemark marketplace. It will result in a slight delay in launch, but one that comes for all the right reasons." why does the term "Exciting change" not fill me with anticipation? https://medium.com/wemark-stories/major-roadmap-update-4a35533e2888. Meanwhile my images sit in the queue (I presume).

How can you have an exciting change when you have not even started yet ????  "Lucie you got some explaining to do"

What's with the lame corporate lingo lately? "We wanna be different. And we found a way to do it by being exactly the same."

Saw this interview, doesn't help much for me but thought I would share it.

I just watched the utube video. A lot of talk about their crypto currency but no defined info on how they will sell our images. I fell like I may have wasted my time uploading images to them. we will see.

Photochain has a better name.  The whitepaper is interesting but we will end up paying for hosting and probably not getting as much marketing as the current sites.  I'm still not convinced that enough buyers are going to use this yet, maybe in a few years.  Here's the whitepaper  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1C4UPA9-9o2cOLJOEYMIVwN_Fi3Ebtn2YcRua58hQ7_0/edit#

You can always tell how things are going when someone says "thats a great question" then appears to answer a different question. To a non crypto geek this is mostly incomprehensible. I see no reason why customers would buy from them.

I think this is more interesting.
