So how many total max Quark coin do we have now?  Cause the PoW phase has been over for quite some time, right?

http://qrk.blockr.io/

useful site.




Hey, you still a big believer and holder in quark?  You sure called it right last year.  Hoping I hit the next quark this year and who knows, maybe it will be quark again.  If Max Keiser bought back in that would be all but a sure thing.

I think Max is pushing his own crypto, Quark has a grass roots of supporters, that have educated themselves of crypto fundamentals - i think the next breakthroughs will be in simplifying the use aspects and usability then moving forward crowd funding.

i think that there will be a group of crypto in the future that have respect in the society.

i think some of them will salvage thier brand by moving towards Quark parameters, also i think Quark could further evolve (in a way that does not effect unit total or inflation) but further strengthens security.


So yo think Max is still gonna push MAXCoin after that humiliating pump and dump?  I still can't get over that.  It would be good to know if he still owns that coin.

As for quark - thanks for your input.  Should have followed your lead last year on that one.

companion coin, superblocks... quarkfx proposal of proof of burn or something like that.

Many conflicting solutions proposed for a problem that I resist to even accept is real.

There is no problem: quark is just in a phase of low liquidity, like all altcoins.

That's just the nature of the quark economy (which at the moment mainly exists on exchanges between traders instead of real world merchants)

Yes we need to change that. But not by manipulating the coin- or coinsupply itself.

this.

although if there is a large perception of low hash a merge mine is a possible solution while keeping all Quark paramaters intact.

also the C bloc solution should be tried - ( this is not inflationary and totally voluntary )

yes Maok the inflation is retarded, its retarded today, it will be retarded tomorrow and in 1000 years it will still be retarded.

I don't doubt you may be good at some things but if you believe this is the solution or that the market will support it, then you by definition you don't understand crypto economics you could say your knowledge is "retarded" in that respect.

When is the next code update coming for Quark?  I'm wondering if devs are planning any surprises.  This would be a good time I think. 

Good luck!

Before few days, Max made new versions of Quark source code, both official version v0.8.3.25 and beta version v0.9.2.



I am comparing source codes of many x11, x13, x15 coins, and I am very satisfied with current code state of Quark. See my previous post and comment it.

I think that many x coins might get into big trouble (many of them are so unsuccessful already). I think they mix very old bitcoin code and some new fancy features.

It might be I am wrong, but I like approach at Bitcoin, Quarkcoin, Litecoin development. Darkcoin seems "conservative" too.

The more I look at many source codes, the more I am convinced Quarkcoin approach is very good.

See, Quarkcoin is according to my current orientation to Windows compiling and looking at general quality (by my opinion) of source codes, the most advanced with Bitcoin who is leader in advanced and correct coding (Quarkcoin will use the best things from Bitcoin development) to me.

Good thing is to choose best approach, and Quark is very good at it, by my opinion.




I agree with georgem, Quark should support development of the real world applications to have the real use value.

As qrkFX has said, there is no reason for anyone to burn qrk if they don't wish too. I think this is the key point here and one which makes the maturation period null and void. Why would anyone burn just to dump straight away. I would not burn my qrk until core had a great development team behind it and some clear vision of where it was going. If it had those i would not be dumping.



Re: maturation period. Are you taking into account that you wouldn´t be able to burn endlessly but only for a certain period (I think I wrote 8 or 6 weeks but it could be less or more)?

I agree with you we need more real work merchants, however all coins are aiming for this so why should they choose qrk?

We need developers, project managers, marketing, yes they need funding or incentives. Other coins have the funding to provide the incentive, qrk does not.


Well, why do they use bitcoin now?

Bitcoin is the first one and pretty much ALL altcoins offer some form of improvement over bitcoin.
(sure, they don't have bitcoins hashrate and adoption rate, but those are not part of the code anyway).

So I still think that nearly every altcoin could some day become really big, for whatever reason.

It's an evolution... it's survival of the fittest.

But that doesn't mean that only the fittest survives.

Man, if we could get Quark to just 1$ and have it stay there for a prolongued period of time.... this alone would make me jump up and down in joy.
(I hope that until then I own more quark than the measly 20k I have now, lol)

Quark could become a niche coin and still be at 1$ or more.
That's the beauty of the internet and a planet filled with 7 billion people.
Quark probably needs only 10k constant users and a 100 potent merchants to reach 1$.
Should be managable, don't you think?

We need perspective. And we must refrain from feeling like losers all the time.
This is not a game where one winner takes all.
This is as I said: the internet and a planet filled with 7 billion people.
That's the perfect paradise for niche players. And if bitcoin can go to 1000$, why shouldn't quark go to 1$ atleast.

I want to prove that I can help quark, so stay tuned.


Yes i agree with you actually. However, as more alts are released daily i see the $1 target being far more difficult to reach that you think.

I simply see a well executed POB or qrk only IPO accelerating that process and taking it from a small niche coin to a much larger currency/investment token.

As qrkFX has said, there is no reason for anyone to burn qrk if they don't wish too. I think this is the key point here and one which makes the maturation period null and void. Why would anyone burn just to dump straight away. I would not burn my qrk until core had a great development team behind it and some clear vision of where it was going.

I totally agree - few alts offer any advantages and those that do, in most cases, can be easily copied and pasted by Bitcoin [and other alts] thus removing any competitive advantage any alt may have.  This is why I don't get why anyone would pay $10 for on DarkCoin when they can buy millions of many different alts which would surely give one a much better chance at making a lot of money when the next boom comes later this year.

I looked at some code of x11, x13, x15 coins, and I can say this code is often based on bitcoin 0.6.x or similar. It is very hard for me to compile on Windows.

Latest official version of Quark is based on bitcoin 0.8.3.x and can be compiled very easy compiled on Windows. Same for Litecoin 0.8.x.

Newest next version of Quark will be based on bitcoin v0.9.x.x and already now you can compile for Windows at the easiest way.

I am very close to conclude that many x11, x13, x15 coins are improved with many fancy things, but they are based on very old bitcoin code v0.6.x no matter how they artificially risen version number. It means it will be very hard to maintain it or developed it on the right way.

I am fresh in researching this.

Can someone confirm me if I am right?   For Windows only.

Well, isn't your document an announcement of the next big thing?
No, it isn´t. As pointed out several times it is a proposal, not an annoucement. Go, do the reading.

It's always so easy to write drafts and proposals instead of doing some real actual work, isn't it?

No, it´s not easy. You will find out once you do this kind of things on your own, promise.

fancy Coelho quote:
"If you start by promising something what you  don´t even have yet, you´ll lose your desire to work towards getting it"

I am working on something big (software development thru QRK funding), but contrary to the coin and price manipulation you advocate, my project consists of real world economy to make quark successful, NOT trying to manipulate the coin into success.

Smiley

EDIT: Wait, weren´t you the one who announced to be working on a Quark based exchange?


Btw. I produced several animated videos for Quark, networked hundreds of hours to get people into the core group and worked with them, organized team meetings, set up a team folder structure and organized the designs, translated press releases, wrote to potential partners, developed the concept for the new forum and provided an endless amount of artworks for others that I never asked any credits for. I guess you somehow get why I find your attempts to put me in the "not doing anything for Quark" corner rather amusing with your few meme GIFs that can be generated within seconds. I see from your potential that my work isn´t needed anymore and will consequently take it offline.

I have been a QRK holder for over 1 year (nearly the very beginning). It has excellent functionality, the specific hash stumbled upon a great leap forward at the time. However, I am a general investor in altcoins, and have been an early adopter in 80 coins. There is plenty of choice, and constant improvements in the new coins. I intend to keep a holding of every coin that I ever invest in, either win or bust.(and have so far done so, with few coins succeeding, but an overall decent profit)

The key for any coin is the strength of the ongoing development team, which has to respond to changes and new ideas. Also the size of the adoptive community which follows the development.

There are many coins which now have that strength, and even they will struggle in the evolutionary battle. I would not write QRK off, but have to say that the current price simply reflects it's prospects more fairly now.


We are in the anon coin phase right now.
Is this the next evolutionary step?

Not necessarily, since anonymity is desired by some, but not seen as necessary by others.
Anonymity is not a trait that makes your coin automatically more desirable or valuable. Not necessarily, there is no correlation, and I say that as a fan of DarkCoin (which wants to become eCash)

There is the possibility that what we see now is an evolutionairy explosion giving birth to many different ideas, that DON'T NEED TO COMPETE WITH EACH OTHER, since everybody can have his niche... much like single cell life gave rise to all kinds of multi cell lifeforms, like plants, animals, insects, fungi, etc...
Is a plant "better" than an animal? This question doesn't even make sense.
Sure, animals eat plants, but there is always a surplus of 1000 times more plant mass than animal mass on this planet. So this is clearly a symbiosis.

Quarkcoin must grow and find its niche....
it must NOT strive to become the King of the World or something like that... because neither is this necessary for success, nor is this even desirable... because the king is attacked constantly by everybody.

Coins that win are coins that don't fight with other coins, but are instead concentrating on creating value and adoption.

I should have rephrased that.... with no real disadvantages over bitcoin.

I already told too much, lol.
I don't want to be a talker.

Some facts about me: I have been a selfemployed programmer for the last 10 years, and I plan to offer my work for quark (atleast parttime), in a unique collaborative way.

Please be patient for a few weeks. (damn, another promise)

please check pm, i'm in the works for some web projects myself(of course quark related),  I don't have lots of free time so would appreciate some help if and when possible :-)

BTW...
We can't know for sure who here wants to see qrk do well and who wants to see it sink and get crushed by other coins. For all i know you have zero qrk and are trolling. We need to make sure people here are real qrk supporters.

I posted my QRK address below every GIF you saw in the last 10 pages.
Every QRK anybody donates to me will only be sold at much higher prices (preferably 1$ +)
And you can keep track of that.

+1 Crypto currencies are very immature, even Bitcoin, compared to biggest players. The prohibitive measures could be used in a local centralized areas like small national currencies. If you want global adoption you need to leave the free market decide the price, thats why I said every quarker should participate on the exchanges so that we better discover the true price and provide more liquidity(only rule buy low sell high)

Awesome summary of what every quarker should do, and what quark is all about.
