Hey guys!

Gamblex has added Quarkcoin to our exchange and our gambling site. It will be fully implemented, that means we will also sell shares that distribute a part of the Quarkcoin fee revenue to stakeholders.

Check out our thread and maybe Invest!

Is there any exchange with Quark as Base coin - Quark Market?

If Quark wants to become or return to big coin group, Quark has to have Quark Market. (Mint and IFC have its own market(s), Doge has few markets almost from its beginning, some other coins have their markets too).

Where is Quark?



Hello there,

Quark has been added on our website www.coins2themoon.com
You can exchange QRK/DOGE




Happy Tradings Smiley


I see IFC Market Smiley, and I don't see QRK Market. Sad

We need solution for Sad

If we plan to continue to be big coin, we need QRK Market. We need possibility to trade DOGE/QRK and */QRK

One suggestion: be first exchange with QRK Market!

Alright guys our project on Thunderclap has 87 supporters and more than 65,000 social reach in a short time which is awesome. Now if we give everyone 30 Quark with a decent social reach from Facebook/Twitter to support, that would be 400x30 12000 Quarks. This way we get more Quark supporters and Thunderclap supporters.

I will put 5000 Quark in this to get the ball rolling. I would like to have feedback on what the most practical way is to get this going. Is it a Faucet? Making a Topic on Bitcointalk? How do we check or make sure people who received Quark have supported it? Obviously we don't want profiles with no or minimum friends.

Cheers

Yes, let's get this rolling. come on QRK community let's start getting somethings done, let's donate.

I want to thank everybody for working so hard on promoting the Quark Thunderclap page. It is very exciting for me to be part of this campaign.
Support Thunderclap button added to www.qrk.cc
Victor (/u/mcphervi) is working like a maniac to get us supporters with big social reach (ask if he needs help)
James (/u/James-z) is working hard to get Bill Still to help with the campaign
I got 8+ friends to support the campaign + my brother is telling all his friends
Top Supporter: @benhoffman Twitter 37.1k followers - Facebook 479 friends +Tumblr +Retweet[6]

Current Supporters: 81+
Current Social Reach: 61k+

FYI:
The Thunderclap Social Reach number is not 100% accurate and it is not always instantly updated. If you add a Twitter account and also a Facebook account, only the first one will count toward social reach. This is good news. It means that our social reach is even better then what the number shows.

Your mission if you chose to accept it:
* support the Quark Thunderclap campaign if you haven't already
* follow @quarkpres and @buyquark on Twitter
* retweet #JoinUs tweet
* get 5 friends to support the Thunderclap campaign

Extra Points:
* get 10 friends to support the Thunderclap campaign
* watch, like and comment on the "What is Quark? " video
* thank /u/mcphervi and /u/James-z for working so hard on this campaign and ask them if they need help


Let's keep the momentum going. Keep in mind: The more friends (which may not have the biggest social reach) support the campaign, the more likely it is for people with a big social reach to join. Every supporter counts. Keep up the great work!

Important: Please do not spam @shaq and @shaqfuisback on Twitter. We do not want to piss them off. Victor is emailing the ShaqFu developers, trying to get us some exposure. If it works out, great. If not, we keep moving forward.

400 x 50 will get it there in a few hours.

50 qrk to everyone with decent amount of friends on FB who takes part gets 50 qrk..

we need a pot of 20k qrk


i'll give 200


come on PM everyone on this thread we need 100 people giving 200 coins each to this pot.  Also put a message of the qrk forum and get the pool owner of the main pool to put a notice up on his pool.

Contributers named if they want.


Let's start pulling together and getting some stuff done.... not all sitting around looking at each other waiting for something to happen.Also take part with our own FB too.


100 people need to donate 200 qrk each = 20k (obviously if you are a qkr whale and want to give more that is fine too Smiley

we use this 20k for getting some social media advertising done like for the project above.

We need someone known and trusted in the quark community........let's get on with it.

I agree, we have 17 days left. Wouldn't it be better to wait for the last 10 days to do this? In 7 days we can get more people to sign up and the last 10 days we will go for your suggestion. This way we need less Quark too, but we can start the fundraising now. I gave 5000 Quark to the Shaq project, but will also contribute to your suggestion. Man wish i has some extra money to buy Quark at this cheap price.

I can make a self moderated Topic on the Alt Currencies section about this, but first we need the Quarks.
How do we check if people did actually support though?

I would be okay with this personally, and would donate some towards the cause.

On the mining pools - I agree and have actually already emailed them yesterday. I haven't heard back from any yet - it may mean that they will need more prodding, which I encourage anyone who wants to help to do.

How easily can you change a coin from PoW to PoS? I would be fully into Quark if this ever happened. If we could do that, not only would we have a secure network, but we would attract many new investors who don't want to miss out on staking rewards.

ROI for big projects is necessary, and supported on a few other websites. The Scharmbeck Foundation (and eventually scandal) was funded like a stock would be and raised 5 million dollars. It promised high dividends. We shouldn't directly associate Quark coin with a project, and we must make sure that the developers are trustworthy.

I'm trying to figure out what a profitable project would be that could help a coin (possibly Quark, but whatever would maximize my potential) as we speak. I think developing android and ios games that use cryptos for 'upgrade purchases' or 'in-game stores' might be one project I undertake. Although a game that rewards you with coins, like a faucet would definitely popularize a coin (at the expense of whoever donates the coins).

I don't know how easily you could add POS - it may be impossible for all I know. That and the wallet updates are great ideas, but I don't know about the implementation, which is why I deferred those to Max.

I think android games might work, but ios games seem out given apple's current stance.

I agree that whatever project was funded would need strong and reputable devs.

Hey cryptohunter - believe me I'm hearing and really liking your insightful suggestions.

1. - Agree on the pools; I'm going to email them now.

2. Agree on trying to get the ball rolling on big, potentially profitable business ventures that are Quark centric.

3. I need to let Max comment on the wallet issue. Those suggestions - POS, etc are great.

4. Agree that ROI for big projects could self-propel by providing money for infrastructure, hiring, etc. I really like this suggestion.

5. I agree that this is a good venue to help organize. This forum provides a lot of exposure to potential investors, and I agree a lot more of the discussion should occur here.

Part of what we are trying to accomplish with the thunderclap campaign and associated Shaq campaign is to stir up interest in people regarding Quark again. Its been a little too quiet, and it is a VERY good coin for a number of reasons that could serve as a great foundation for a lot of payment related infrastructure. Its speed lends itself to point of service use. Its encryption both provides protection against attacks, and is a great marketing point. We're trying to spark public adoption which should get interest back in the coin, which should prompt services to start appearing. I totally agree that we should start brainstorming on services that have a fee component that could reward investment and provide salaries, etc. This is not lost on me, and I really encourage anyone with good ideas to start brainstorming here.

To people who're trying to think why Quark is going down --

It's not going down relatively. All cryptos are going down and Quark is down in proportion cause of Auroracoin.

Quark is going to be huge: It is incredibly fast and it is the most secure coin there is, at a time when the security of cryptocoins is becoming a major issue, and transaction speed will become an issue for any coin that wants to move beyond enthusiasts and into the mainstream.

Fast doesn't really mean anything, you have to wait for more confirmations anyway to ensure a secure transaction. More confirmations = more time. It's a zero-sum game. Darkcoin has 11 rounds of different hashing so you could argue that that is the most secure, not quark. You're trying really hard to get people interested, but the fact remains that it's mined out. No one wants to mine a mined out coin, and no one wants to buy off bagholders.

"Darkcoin in terms of hashing functions it is a combination of Quark's 6 hashing functions and Qubit-coin's 5 hashing functions, so in total Darkcoin has 11. Five of Quark's hashing functions (Blake, Grøstl, JH, Keccak and Skein) were the finalists of the NIST competition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NIST_hash_function_competition
But Quark is using 9 rounds of hashing: while using 6 rounds from Blake, Blue Midnight Wish, Grøstl, JH, Keccak and Skein it adds 3 more rounds of hashing randomly: so the computer doesn't know whether it will be Keccak or Grøstl or Blake. And that's one of the uniqiue beauties of Quark. Unfortunately, Darkcoin or Qubitcoin don't do that: the computer remains certain about which hashing function will be used.

In addition, Darkcoin's block generation time is 2.5minutes (150seconds), while Quark is 30 seconds. Which means that Quarks algorithm with an element of randomness (unpredictability) will have to be cracked in 30 seconds to create a double-spend fork, while for Darkcoin this window of opportunity for the attacker is 5 timeslonger: 150 seconds with no element of randomness. If you take all these factors into account, Quark is still the most secure - it's not only about the number of hashing functions."

Yeah, that's why Quark's GPU miner is slow and takes less power.

I think 15 to 20 rounds of random hashing and complex decision making process will kill GPU mining as a whole.

Very bad position for QRK at this voting

http://www.allcrypt.com/beta/voting.php



That site is extremely manipulated by bots and such. It's such a pointless site wouldn't bother with it.

Last thing Quark needs is to get on another lower end exchange that just dilutes the trading volume.

QRK is goind down and down and down  Angry



AllCrypt exchange is out of beta now:

https://www.allcrypt.com/voting

Quark does not need voting at all. It needs further fall.



Ah stfu hater, Quark is the best, the whole crypto market is down you retard

Read more carefully
what I wrote and try to vote for Quarkcoin on every exchange.
