We're having internal discussions right now regarding a change in the inflation percentage in order to promote mining/staking which would then also provide income for masternodes as well. Max is looking at POS/POW implementations right now. We're also looking at 10% for development as well.

Great suggestions. This could really bring the coin to life.

Yeah, I agree - I think this will really get the coin back on its feet, and get us moving again. Once the core of the upgrades is in place, and we have some more development funding we will make sure to get additional manpower to help support Max as well. I think this is really moving in the right direction.

More important still what is max saying?

If he is wasting time on these other coins with a load of different usernames then that is a very bad indication for the future of quark.

If those allegations are groundless then lets hear what he says. I hope they are groundless.

Wasting time on these projects whilst neglecting an aged and famous coin like quark is foolish.

Let's hope he says something anyway soon. Also if he is 100% going to focus on qrk now i hope he has incentive to see it through.

Thank god Max is very transparent (he showed once with Zoincoin, another coin he created few months ago):
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16862800
So, you might expect a plausible explanation from Max.

Hmmm.... Initially 20% founders reward with Zoincoin? Could be a nice option for a solution for the development funding of Quark! then you are sure it comes to the right person (an "anonymous" copy coin cloner) Roll Eyes

Two years ago another poster was already aware about the dozens of other coins Max created and therefore he never was and will never be fully engaged with Quark:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10331620

By the way "WillowRosenborg" was already identified/caught as a sockpuppet of Max in this thread:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10331605
Who knows how many more puppets he uses....

Edit 1 WillowRosenborg/MaxGuevarra continued with another accountname: "willowrose"...with this name he continued as a "dev" for Qubitcoin. Seems he is also involved with Pascalcoin and seedbit.

Its not completely fair, nor realistic to expect one man to do everything for the lifespan of a coin - potentially over many years. Once we have development funding instituted, it will be self carrying as we can hire additional manpower and take the pressure off of just him - you've seen him respond over the last couple weeks to several issues with the Quark 0.10 wallet, and he's updated the wallet over the last couple years, IMO showing extended commitment. He has seemed committed to getting the changes we've discussed implemented.

Any timeframe?

Max had wanted a couple of weeks to look into implementations before starting so that he could best tailor it to the coin.

The QRK price has been going up, and more than doubled within the last two weeks!
Hopefully this could be one of the driving forces to make the coin better and better, and once again strongly recognised by the community.

Why would Quark developers not implement masternodes technology in their coin? With this technology, the coin will get a new life and will have a very huge increase in price.

Problem with masternodes is that Quark is already mined,so masternodes like ones in DASH are not applicable.There are no mining reward for them.Though,going completely POS with 2.5-3% annual reward for masternodes(1 mil Quarks),where 10% goes for developpers work could be sucessfull.

1 million is a bit steep I was thinking more 250k quark. 1 million is very hard to get hold of once max announces the upgrade plan and price get's back on track....

1 million was just suggestion.I agree that 250K ~ 1000 masternodes, will be more appropriate

Any progress here or on slack?

Don't expect too much from Max Roll Eyes

Max is currently too busy with "plausible denial" in the Myriad thread:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18728060

And (help) pumping Chaincoin according to this reaction in that thread:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18728829

Sometimes he mix up his accounts and posts with his chaincoin dev account in the myriad thread....
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18728045

Not sure about his other coin priorities.

Disappointing if true he is involved in all of those coins.

Why bother with these unknown coins. Quark is a famous coin with great age and many coins still using the algo he developed here.

Let's wait to hear max's explanation here.

all this has already mostly been done for us with PIVx which is a great coin based upon quark algo.

these are all great ideas and max is already researching into these things I hear.

on top of this I think a quark based centralised exchange with quark as the market base will be great

Agree on the exchange, but definitely a more long term goal I think unless some developer our team trusts steps forward with a genuine interest.

I agree it would require trust of course I see a lot of new exchange/coin projects springing up. I would expect there are a few out of the box exchange scripts around now. But yes def something for the future for sure.

Great to see a few new faces popping in now and then. Its a long road back but one which can be travelled quickly if we put our minds to it.

Quark 0.10.4.4

Recommended upgrade

Changes:

* Improved syncing
* Update checkpoints

https://github.com/quark-project/quark/releases/tag/v0.10.4.4

Due to the split between 0.9 and 0.10 there was a period of instability, but difficulty has now recovered to near pre-fork levels.

Hopefully we'll have some new pools soon.

Thanks Max!
