I don't think that a fffuuucoin or lolcoin would have success in any way.
It's just because of that fucking dog. That's all.
 
People start laughing reading through the UI of the Dogecoin Wallet.
The risk of this "funny viral oriented" coins is that someday people stop finding it funny and this is where it dies.
Right now nobody knows how long Doge will make it on the viral train.
 
Other memes have their chance too, but not all of them. Smiley
 
 
I'd also create some own currency with a high quality UI and overall clean and professional identity with some new viral potential. But that would have been all I could do since I'm no coding guy. Wink I'm more a creative and marketing guy.
Wanted to offer some people creating their own currency to help them with the visual work. But it seemed like everyone I got in touch with just had a crappy concept or already had a good logo etc. (Which didn't look good at all.)
 
It's a bit sad that so much alt coins are being developed which don't have any good looking UI / Identity. Most of them don't really offer innovative concepts so the only thing that's left with a standard concept: A creative name and making that shit look good.

I also had the luck with some alt coins in the past (LTC and PPC for example which I got into pretty early)
Right now I'm looking to get my hands onto some new alt coins. Smiley

Litecoin and ppc were a safe bet from the start. Maybe noone expected to explode that much but they were looking good anyway.
Nowadays people talk about dogecoin  Shocked

I think it's always a good choice to have your feet in some alt coins. Smiley
Why not. When some alt is easy to mine, take a few hours/days to mine it, store it safely and maybe the price goes somewhere.

Don't bother mining QRK any more, most of them are already mined and the reward is down to nearly negligible. 

You can use it as a good trading medium though; I think it's tending to go up relative to the value  of most altcoins.


Even if it goes up, is there any real reason for that? There are way to many concerns around quark  Roll Eyes
It's community though did a very well job in promoting it.

Hey All,

We have an alt-currency that was made specifically to disrupt the failing Hollywood and Television pricing system. Its called Sollars and Sense #SmartMoney. You can check out what we are doing here:

https://angel.co/sollywood-tv

We are at the prototype stage and trying to take the platform to the next level. I'm currently working on my proposal to this community. My plan is a formal introduce of the project to see if developers are interested in taking it to the next level. There will be rewards and bounties that can include both traditional equity and or future return in our currency. I've got some alternative funding ideas that include a BitCoin Talk fundraiser/KickStarter ect to get initial development towards a Private Beta on its way.

Let me know what you all think.

Digital currency is at a very exciting stage. The beginning! So much is possible, its mind boggling...

Hi,

I just setup a p2pool miner QRK.   http://www.quarkpool.net:8372

If you wouldn't mind hitting the server with the QRK CPUMiner to test that its reachable and paying out, you see your miner and see a 1% fee?   Willing to assist in debugging your setup further if can get some testing done.   Just send a PM with your QRK payment address used for the mine.

This is a single server at my house and it's using p2pool.   There is not much information on the internet on how to get it setup... hit a couple snags.

Running ubuntu server 64... have to get a bunch of dependencies DL

Most of the work is just like a BTC p2pool setup

Get the source here:

https://github.com/Neisklar/p2pool-quarkcoin/

Then patch with this or will get errors:
https://github.com/Neisklar/quarkcoin-hash-python
git clone this and run python setup.py install

Run the cpuminer for quark with -a quark as well ;>   otherwise with scrypt it will appear to function - but not mine a thing ;>

https://github.com/uncle-bob/quarkcoin-cpuminer

-d


So where is the best file source location for pool mining QRK?  I assume Minerd is trusted.
How you did it ?
I have problems with starting ./run_p2pool.py --net quarkcoin
