Topic: [ANN] [QRK] Quark | Core 0.10 upgrade - page 184. (Read 1031025 times)

The Foundation has purchased 4 seed nodes.

To add them in your current wallet


1 Open your wallet
2 Help
3 Debug
4 Open tab Console
5 Type the following codes (1 line at a time and press enter)

addnode seed1.quarkfoundation.cc add
addnode seed2.quarkfoundation.cc add
addnode seed3.quarkfoundation.cc add
addnode seed4.quarkfoundation.cc add

Future wallet releases will have these seed nodes hardcoded.

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.

people lets vote together! give you voice and help quark to rise!

Thank you!!!

No fork detected on this side. I checked several nodes running both the old and new version of the wallet/daemon and they are all in sync.

Quark has both hard-coded checkpoints and broadcast check-points to mitigate forks in the block-chain.

If anyone would like to double-check that they are on the correct chain:

We're investigating - at this time, thanks a to a quick email from Max, there is NO FORK detected. I'll let him further confirm though.

Quark is going from strength to strength. It may not always look like it on this forum but that is because we have been focussed on building up the community and developing Quark's infrastructure; publicity and marketing have not been our strong points so far. However, there is a LOT happening. We have recognised that we need to do more awareness-raising.

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.

There is still time to get in. The price has taken a knock along with all the other coins and a lot of people don't know just how uniquely good this coin is...yet. 

hit that a while ago

huge change in the orphan rate since the new wallet app was released.

fork?

PoS would be nice or a large upswing in active usage so miners, especially late adopters would gain more returns.  Otherwise incentive to mine is decreasing exponetially.

Anyone know when the Quark mobile wallet will no longer be in BETA?

These are all very reasonable and insightful questions. I'm thinking but still don't have a definite answer. One of the major hurdles to coin use is having a reliable bitpay like service. However, litepaid currently provides payment services, and as per a tweet from moolah, they are adding Quark as well, and they have website front ends as well as point of service machines. After that, it's marketing, strengthening the block chain/network, which we are moving towards (foundation mining pool, see my news article from today re: seed nodes as well as Max's new wallet update).

Is there something specifically you have in mind or have seen created for bitcoin that would help us and provide the return you're seeking?

Anyone know exactly when we will reach 1 coins blocks?

Actually that is some very interesting stuff right there. I enjoyed reading that.

The thing is i think some private funding of some big projects is what qrk requires. People however do not give quarks away. The donations are slow coming and the devs didn't premine or instamine so they don't have a lot of qrk to splash out on things.

We need some projects where the people funding them get some return. This would accelerate getting qrk to where we want it to go.

There can be any number of services that can charge a small fee (even just 2%) that over time would give great returns to those investors that funded the project.

QRK is one of the most talked about and known coins, it has dropped no more than most coins in value even ltc has dropped from 50 to 14. QRK still has a lot of value and these projects would not be that hard to get funding for if investors were to get a proportional return.

I still wonder is qrk needs more security on the chain in future, i leave my cpus on it and others do to. How hard would it be to implement pos on this and how much would that help secure the chain?


However, back to the services we could fund. The android wallet is awesome, i know apple is anti crypto anything .... is there anyway around their operating systems to get a mobile wallet out to them? would it require jailbreaking their iphones and ipads?

Let's imagine we could raise the equiv of 500k-1M USD for a service... what kind of things could we aim for?

Either way I think you should probably back up the wallet.dat just for safety.

I see thanks Can i just overwrite the existing wallet or is a back up of walled.dat needed?

It said window wallet. So it's most likely window.

Thanks, is it only for windows or also mac?

Updated Windows wallet available - 0.8.3r18

* Latest checkpoints
