I am excited about the new flea market that will use quark based coins. I hope it will take all of the quark coins..
Me too. I think this will really push up the value of coins if it takes off and will really show us which coins people want. Everyone has coins they want to spend, but this will show us which coins are people willing to accept for their stuff? I think it will help us see:
How many FRQ is someone willing to accept for their used 42" flat screen TV?
How many QRK is someone willing to accept for thier used washing machine in good condition?
How many BTQ is someone willing to accept for their old iPhone 3S they want to get rid of?
Right now all coin prices are tied to exchanges and how much BTC/USD we think we can trade up for. There are very few online shops that accept anything but bitcoin. The flea market could change all this and make coin prices based on what people feel the value of the coin is, plus it will make it easier for the masses to get coins without investment through an exchange or mining.
I know it sounds uncomplicated, but even the fact there is a dice game is good.. In lieu of online shopping with FRQ, anything that gets the coin in circulation is helpful to its growth and i think will contribute to its activity on exchanges. Actually, more sites that take an altcoin, the more interest will be generated in buying the coin and the exchanges make profit on the fees so they will want to have a coin that people need to get for other uses rather than taking the dust from bot trades whose volume will depend on the interest in a coin.
Makes me wonder if it is not more important to get a few simple sites using the coin out there than getting it on more exchanges..
I also think this coin (and other quark based coins) will come into their own within a few months. Scrypt asics will have the same effect that bitcoin asics did on mining. Quark is the next "go to" algo because it is CPU/GPU friendly with the glut of these devices out there.
I was there at the beginning of Securecoin, and i think FRQ is the next coin with the ability to be a player - certainly much of which is due to developers who plan ways to use the coin - like the fine folks behind the flea market.. Wish i had though of that guys!
