a few of the original can probably be salvaged and i expect this will happen in the future.
Thank you for mentioning quark.
Even before I knew about bitcoin, I knew that those that controlled the flow of money had all the real power.
Bitcoin brought that back to the people, but by the time I got in, even GPU mining was dead - ASIC mining was the only viable way and a lot of ASIC vendors were scamming people or not able to deliver. Miners control the flow of bitcoin.
CPU mining - none of the CPU mining coins created to address this issue seemed viable to me, but this one just may be.
So thank you for bringing it up. I'll be watching it.
also stick around - and from time to time drop in on our Reddit we are still working on improving all the time.
