After seeing Quark’s superior potential ruined with 98+% premine,
We decided to make a better, more fair alternative!

We know nobody likes pre-mined coins. Why do we still have a pre-mine of 4%?
We know that by pre-mining FairQuark it's easier for us to promote it and therefore push the adoption of FRQ and help the community.
Pre-mining is not salary for developer team. It is used purely to promote FairQuark, get more interested people onboard and for some server payments for first months. You can track usage of pre-mined coins from this link http://finder.fairquark.com/address/qLSALnUEFuBR5tjFudfHJx9SR3qAcfR2oY
Pre-mining has been accomplished by mining normal blocks instead of including premined coins in the first block.
