Well damn...it must be because I compiled it on 14.04

Sorry but I can not get the precompiled Linux files to execute on Xubuntu 12.04 or 13.10, only 14.04.

BitQuark v 0.8.3r18 now available for download @ http://www.bitquark.info/wallet.php

In this update:

• New Splash Screen
• New GUI layout & graphics with 10 different 'skins'
• "Money Supply" on main page
• "Network hashrate" on main page

That would be amazing!

I used to mine on his fairquark pool so I just sent fairglu a request to add bitquark.  He has an awesome blockchain explorer.

If FairQuark can get listed on there, then I don't see why BitQuark can't

Do you think we have enough support to get listed at https://chainz.cryptoid.info/

Well, the first thing I strongly suggest is that you allow addresses outside of the USA.  I'm in Canada;  as far as I can tell, I can't place an add because I'm not American. :/

The other thing I'd recommend is a conversion tool that lets me say "I want to sell this for $5" and have the site show the items in BTQ pricing based on exchange averages.

Otherwise, I have to go do the conversion work myself ... and, well, it's just easier to list on eBay where I neither of those two things are issues.

All that said, the site is looking great and I'm looking forward to listing a few things on it.

Updated.  We have a number of bitcoin style stock photos we're working on creating, plus redoing the cartoons.  We've been searching the web to find bitquark resources and information, but aside from what's at bitquark.info not a lot exists yet so we're trying to come up with it from our experience with other coin promotions.  Any written copy or imagery for BitQuark we come up with that you find at the Crypto Flea Market can be freely used to promote bitquark anywhere else.

If there are any pairs of bitquark users who live close together we'd really appreciate more testing of posting ads and using the site to communicate with each other so we can get feedback on the interface.  The goal is not to be a facilitator of btq transactions, but a medium where interested parties can meet and trade goods for bitquark as a currency like craigslist/backpage/online classifieds.

We feel that one of the key things keeping crypto currencies (bitcoins and altcoins) from reaching their full potential is their either too technical (miners mine them and stockpile them but never use them) or they're being used as just a speculative investment like penny stocks (non-miners buy them at low prices on exchanges and sell them at high prices to trade up to bitcoin or cash out).  If you like a coin you have two options, mine for it, or buy it with fiat currencies, but then what?

There are a fair amount of merchants for bitcoin, but virtually nothing for altcoins.  We feel that if you have faith in the coin, use it, use it to buy goods and sell goods for that coin.  That's what we hope to help accomplish.

We're aways from being finished with the site, but it does appear to be functional so use it while it's in live testing mode and keep giving us your feed back and recommendations.

Thanks,

Looks really great!!! You guys/gals rock!!!
The only correction that I can see that needs to be made is here.

- Block reward will never drop below 0.01 BTQ << Change to 0.1 BTQ

I originally posted 0.01 BTQ, but that was an error/miscalculation. 0.1 BTQ gives 105k BTQ annually.
Thanks again,
BTQ Dev

Nice photo promotion there!  Change the blue to pink and link up with Susan G. Komen Foundation, I could see BitQuark for Boobies as a great breast cancer/charity promotion!

Anyway, we're working on writing up the additional information pages about BitQuark for the Crypto Flea Market to help give exposure and to help users understand what bitquark is.

http://btq.cryptofleamarket.com/what-is-bitquark/

We would welcome any comments or suggestions in case we're getting any information wrong.

Again, the ad posting functionality seems to be working so the site should be usable, we just need content, information and to finish styling everything before an official launch.  We appreciate all the testers and let us know if anyone finds any bugs.

Haha I like that! I just tweeted the image

Yeah that's a great idea Mr.B! I think the PDF/Guide is totally do able. We just need to layout what all should be included.

I haven't tried mining on pool.bitquark.info yet, but here you go:

Yeah BitQuark, that's what I'm seeing with the wallet, not just the bitquark wallet, every wallet I have (bitcoin, litecoin, feathercoin, dogecoin, all of them)

I love putting the wallet on a USB credit card or flash drive and found that to be an awesome idea you and dannytom came up with, but if we're going to distribute such a thing to non-technical friends and family to spread around bitquark I just think we need some some type of professional looking PDF/guide written up for the total novice user so they don't immediately get scared and mistrust bitquark because they plug the wallet into their computer and get virus warning.

Yeah it screws everything up big times, mainly the share percentage lol...

So, I pointed my GPU rig at your pool without the --difficulty-multiplier 256 flag, saw almost 1Th/s for my 4Mh/s real mining speed, a whole bunch of unconfirmed coins almost immediately and I'm thinking to myself "Self, why would I not want 1Th out for my 4Mh in?" Is that really spoofing the pool into awarding more coins for very little effort? WORKS FOR ME!!!  

Oh now i get what you mean Mr.B!. That sounds like something we could and should do!

The only cryptocoin related things my virus protection ever flagged were mining software variants. Never a wallet though.
 

From my understanding about the Anti-virus being triggered is due to all the anti-virus companies flagging the code as "Bitcoin miner" virus. So it has to do with the nature of the code used to make the client. I guess that's a way of big businesses fighting back against Bitcoin and the like. The only other way to stop this from happening is to rewrite the whole code for the client, but I don't have the expertise to do that.

Hi CommanderVenus,

https://multibit.org/en/help/v0.4/help_runFromUSBDrive.html

As for what you had underlined in #4 check the link above, you know create a branded PDF instruction guide for what we've talked about in this thread that lists how-to, limitations, etc. and make it branded for bitquark, even though it would work for any wallet that doesn't have a huge blockchain.

I know it sounds simple and common and we're all technically adept to do it on our own, but still a professional looking branded guide/instructions sheet/pdf with a bitquark logo on it would help to promote the coin I'm thinking.

As for the virus trigger, I'm downloaded bitquark-qt.exe (v0.8.3.17-BTQ) from the link in this thread.  My virus protection (AdAware and Symantec Endpoint) trigger all my wallets and miners as bad unless I manually add exceptions.

I think we're all on the same page.  the USB wallet is awesome for us, I just think we need to write it up and brand it specific to bitquark.

Ok got the website and pool back online. Looks like my power blinked during the morning and caused everything to shutdown. I will definitely have to invest in a UPS to prevent this from happening in the future!
