Yes, and if you buy a 1 coin image today with the coin you bought yesterday, you've lost $.25 instead of buying it today.  No company is going to play games like that.

Sadly too many photographers will play games like that. The image they sold yesterday will get them 25% less today when and if they can figure out how to convert that into tangible currency today. Or maybe they will get 289% more today wink wink.

* Only whitelisted users can contribute  This is what is on the Wemark web site today..Something has a smell to this ? Dose this mean you have to buy their coins to upload ? They did not mention this earlier ?  Also no ability to see website yet.

It still all comes back to the buyer. They are getting images for pennies from the big microstock companies and it is very simple to deal with them. What motive would there be for them to switch?

If these means contributors have to do this will kill it stone dead. I have heard nothing since I originally signed up so much for giving a tuppeny one for caring about contributors.  Just put this on their FB page lets see what they say "I have a registration request as a photographer still pending since April 28. Do I have to sign up to this as well? Do you really care about photographers if so do you consider that an acceptable level of service for a modern tech company?....I don't."

They only want hipsters as contributor, their infograph is pretty clear about that. I'm not going to grow a beard just to be approved.

Big mistake. Beards are still very much in. You can be the money guy on the left though.

I guess they wouldn't want any cliched images  :o

"Hi Paul! Apologise for the confusion, the whitelist registration is not for creators, so you don't need to sign up again. As we're launching the marketplace at the end of June, the whitelist registration allows potential buyers to get approved before they purchase tokens. In the future, there will be much easier ways for customers to purchase tokens and license photos, this is merely the first step.

The approval of creators to the marketplace might take longer than we expected, as we got much more photos submitted than we ever imagined."

I guess after 260px is redefined as a "thumbnail" this place appears more and more attractive by the minute. Let's hope images sell themselves.  8)

hey guys, i need some information. I uploded about 300 pics on this site. I'm looking forward to see if it will work.
Have you heard that we can make a request to be on a whitelisted for Wemark's token sale? Are you going to get some? Is it only for pictures buyers?

I think anyone can buy tokens.....no way would I touch them. Seems to me the crypto market is now stagnant at best with the only people profiting are those manipulating the market. Have you been approved pics accepted yet?

My ID is still not approved after two months. No idea about my images I have uploaded. Have I wasted my time once more ?

Can you use pseudonym or it just creates an account based on your full name because I cant find any options?

I'm not buying the tokens.  If it's a success, we can make money selling our images there.  If it fails, I wont lose anything.  I'd be more interested if they had a good answer to the EU VAT problem, if the cryptocurrency market had bottomed out and if ICO's were more trustworthy.

I don't understand why there can't be a smart contract, so that funds are only released to ICO's when they achieve certain goals.  At the moment, it's too easy for them to promise a lot and deliver very little.

Just had my ID accepted now waiting for their "expert" inspectors to assess my submission.....I uploaded a bit of a hotch potch so will be interesting to see what they make of it...eventually.

rushay

Not even my ID's been approved at this stage.

With the way Cryptocurrencies are at best drifting I'm not holding my breath ;-).

sharpshot

It still feels like the early days of the internet.  Lots of smart people working on something new but it might take a long time before the dream becomes reality.  There's also the risk that as they have the investment before making the platform, there might not be a huge incentive to get on with the work.  Steemit and NoLimitCoin work but they've been around much longer.  There aren't many new cryptocurrency projects that have something that's usable at the moment.

and like that of the thousands of ideas a few will maybe make huge money but knowing which ones is the trick ;-). I'm not convinced though that crypto is more than a niche. Time will tell.
