Topic: [ANN] [QRK] Quark | Core 0.10 upgrade - page 136. (Read 1031025 times)

has anyone ordered from rigs.ch ? feedback ?

This is what has been happening to the coin from the mega pump in December.
Talks , plans , talks , discussions and nothing in reality. No development only abandoned plans.

There is no community , only  a bunch of bagholders in denial of reality.

Yes, i mean that would be way better. However that will not happen. People just don't donate. The logic is why donate to things that benefit the entire qrk community even those that don't donate anything. The superblock is simply a 10% donation from everyone if you want to look at it like that. That donation will be rewarded proportionally too so win win.

Sure i mean if every qrk investor would donate to a development pot that would be nice. ROI projects are really the only way to get investment that way though from my experience. Doge seems a special case, they seem to raise funds from super whales with ease.

QRK just lost another 10% today ..... that was the development pot right there? come on guys step up and do something before qrk is totally beyond help.

All the we are discussing possibly doing something that may help is not what the market wants to hear.

@cryptohunter isn't it a better idea for those investors you're talking about to simply create a development pot instead cheating and create a superblock out of nothing or companion coin ? The latters will bring very negative press while the former will prove that the investors care about Quark. I'm not an investor per se but I'm willing to donate monthly to any development fund publicly announced by the dev team.

Reasons already stated? the superblock has way more positives than negatives. I have actually seen no negatives other than 10% dilution. This is the same for any coin like drk or bc if the devs had not instamined or premined then the other miners investors would have a larger share. However there would be no development and their coins value would be less. There are NO negatives to the superblock that i have seen posted here. Of course the transparency and handling of the coins is critical. The superblock is merely a time machine to create the development pot other successful coins have.

The only negatives i have heard about the superblock is that is is lik QE the government produces. On the surface it may seem similar but on closer inspection it is in no way similar in terms of how the coins are used nor is there any real evidence to suggest QE done effectively does not have huge benefits. The economic recovery here is being attributed to QE and low interest rates.

The companion coin again has no real negatives. There are 300+ coins competing with qrk and none of those bring anything to qrk. The companion coin provides many positives to qrk.

I'd like to hear some of the conversations the foundation are having about saving qrk right now. Since other than creating a development pot to fund some developments and services i see nothing to talk about other than an amazing ROI project that we will all invest in and that bill will advertise  to other perspective investors holding qrk we can't get in touch with. Solving the mining issue is another big problem without the price sky rocketing i see no real way to get the chain secured either.

Praise to VIC and the other core members that have achieved some really big things for qrk. However, the foundation? what is it? who are they?. I mean really did they not see the miners dropping off with falling price and block rewards that scaled to nothing? I see no real improvements to qrk in a year now. Sure some will say it is perfect now. The market does not seem to see it that way. If people believe qrk will magically stop sinking for some unknown reason then fine, i do not believe it.

Like people have previously said, the foundation seem to be always talking about a solution to the problems qrk has, but as yet are to solve any of these issues.

To those worrying about a 10% dilution to your coins, did you not worry more about the 10000000000000% decrease in value of your coins?

There is simply NO reason right now for anyone to buy QRK. Either develop a reason or it's as good as dead. Letting something sink this badly is terrible. Because investors are talking themselves into selling at the slightest bump in price now.

Let's actually hear from MAX on here. I mean if the captain of the ship vanishes upon any voyage this is pretty much the end of the voyage unless a new captain is appointed or the old captain shows up again.

1. did you develop qrk as a hobby project and never intend to spend your life being the project/services/community manager?



2. would a devlepment pot for qrk or a companion coin to qrk bring you onboard to be more active and lead the community forward?


3. what are your in depth thoughts on the superblock or companion coin?


4. I know you didn't instamine or premine this coin so have only a small financial steak in qrk. Do you wish you had premined a few % so that you could have worked full time on the qrk project like other developers?


5. Do you now think the block scaling should have been different?

really cool the irc integration, but something is missing: if I want to switch between tabs and press ctrl+tab it doesn't work so it would be nice if you can make this more user friendly

We sure do need a development pot- And as well we need support for infrastructure projects that are in the works, as detailed above...Such community support will help create momentum in the direction of creating new projects, believe it. Case in point, Hash Engineering. This being said, it would be nice to speed things up a bit in terms of developing projects and infrastructure.

Also, some of the core community members are actively looking at solutions, including looking here at some of yours/others suggestions, so keep them coming!- (creation of a Superblock for Quark wont work, for reasons already stated) More people commenting and discussing these ideas would be helpful- Hopefully some solutions will start coming to the forefront soon.

Hey everyone, please check out this post and comment/pledge, we have a new Concept GUI in the works:
http://www.reddit.com/r/QuarkCoin/comments/29pigg/testing_testingnew_quark_wallet_gui_in_the_works/

Details:
"Hello Everyone!

I am pleased to announce that there is a concept GUI wallet  in the works by two of our core Quark community members:

Someguy1234...!! (C++ coder)
and Undercard!! (Graphics designer/ mobile wallet splashpage creator etc).


**GOAL: To make a sleek and attractive new wallet with unique features that will be  fun and  user friendly.**

This concept of this wallet project has been in the works for some time and has some new social and mining features that have been added to the Qt by someguy:D..(before the release of the new user interface itself).


We ask you to please test this wallet here and give feedback!!:
Download here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/omn0mwfcwt63xdr/quarkcoin-qt-social-2.3.exe

What additional features would you like to see? Suggestions?

***Also, if you believe in the power of the Quark community to get *important infrastructure projects* created- *please PLEDGE a donation* to this project to show your interest & support to keep it going!!***

I agree that hoarding coins waiting for price to rise, and not spending them is a terrible strategy--On that note I just received  a package in the mail from www.hermeticseal.org , paid for in Quarks. (And my pearly whites are very happy... see?).
And btw, for every merchant adding BTC, this is an opportunity for Quark, so this is a good thing- ultimately this helps all crypto, because it helps increase crypto awareness to the masses...

Additionally, I encourage EVERYONE to start using their Quarks toward developing infrastructure projects!
Support projects you believe in that will be good for Quark (For example, see my next post below).

Drk and bc are doing well because they have got funding. The devs are neck deep in the coins they work on. They have motivation. That is the main difference.

QRK - needs a development pot too. How people don't see this is very strange. I've made a couple of suggestions and i see VIC is actually quite in favour of them. Next part is getting some action going on here. Shall we consult the current dev team to provide the companion coin or bring in a new dev team to build it?

Yeah very happy litecoin investors, it had been going down for months i would be happy as well. blackcoin and darkcoin came after the bitcoin crash so didn't had to suffer from a big price decrease. They have been doing good i can't deny that, you are free to buy them it's a free market.

There are lot of happy Litecoin investors .. check their forum.
Also a lot of namecoin holders. That coin is indeed special.

In case of Dogecoin..the community is at least alive .. unlike this one.
Why don't you say anything about blackcoin or darkcoin who have eclipsed quark lately...?

Show me one happy Litecoin/peercoin/Namecoin/Novacoin/Terracoin/Dogecoin investor since they have been going down for ages. All these new coins dogecoin included were lucky they weren't there when Bitcoin crashed

Show me one happy investor in quark and I will agree with you.
Read a few pages back when all that people say .."i still hodl" , "I hope" etc.

Quark right now is useless and is used only for speculation.
Transactions last 24h    623 ?

http://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/tweets-doge-qrk.html

Hoping and hoping and clinging to coins. That's why the coin has failed.
Because everyone is packing coins and not using them

For these ideas i think the game should be introduced first. For the rest is that the guys are active and working on things, but they can't be introduced to the public yet because if they don't deliver it wouldn't be a good thing giving false hopes. I am not part of the dev team btw, but a mod at quarks subreddit.

I think we misunderstand each other, I meant alot faster confirmation time than Bitcoin but also faster confirmation time than 90% of the top 20 current coins.

I think Quark already satisfies a lot of basic needs for quarkers like inflation and transaction times, I'm really not waiting for an miracle I know price is going down so nothing much worse can happen. From here on any news is good news, the fact that Quark has a dedicated platform for trading Quark coins QEX is great, the fact that a game is being worked at which includes Quark coins is also great. If you're waiting for a miracle I really don't know what you're waiting for, not even Bitcoin hasn't reached mass audience and its being promoted all over the place for 2-3 years now and you're expecting an altcoin to succeed in couple of weeks? months ? You need to lower your standards

QRK isn't going to go anywhere fast so long as there is no development funding  and no full time marketing, project/services and development team. QRK has some big advantages over most other alts but the block reward scaling and lack of development fund are big problems. I don't see any way of fixing those other than what i have suggested before. Long term QRK could do well since the core team does tend to pull big things off out of the blue. Short term i see nothing really changing. This is kind of worrying to say the least, since when qrk is worth nothing it will be far more difficult to pay external devs, project managers etc when you need millions for a few btc.

For these ideas the game has to come out first, shaquille o'neal himself will probably do a short video on quark as well so that's pretty cool also

I think there was a website that compared tweets facebook posts and reddit posts/users
I wonder how quark is doing against the new crytos that are now the new hype.

I'll check it out when i find it in my bookmarks mess.

That could be true but I wouldn't place a bet on it
