I was asked about developing a Quark Android Wallet (I have my own service here:  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hashengineering-android-wallet-creation-service-336215).

There was another post here about another coder working on a wallet, though I don't know what kind.  I can port the bitcoin-wallet to scrypt coins at this point.

Quark brings its own challenges because it has six hashing functions:
1. blake - https://code.google.com/p/blake-512-java-implementation/
2. bmw
3. groestl
4. jh
5. keccak (SHA-3) - https://github.com/kocakosm/pitaya/blob/master/src/org/pitaya/security/Keccak.java
6. skein -www.h2database.com/skein/index.html

Some java implementations have been found, though it would be better to have native code for android devices.

This may be of use to anyone who wants to work on this app.  At this point, since I don't have the java code for half the hash functions, further work by me is not possible.

so what can we do about it?

If people gave up the mining arms race and collectively decided to muzzle their miners back to say 10%cpu utilization instead of 100% then diff would drop and the results would be the same amount of coins and network security but with less electricity wasted.

This is of course will never happen because people can never be nice to one another even if the benefits are obvious.

why is quark dropping again?Huh

I think quark needs more publicity cause it feels like it lives in the shadow of the new and big coins.  Embarrassed

I can take a guess and it is bothersome. I am running an AMD FX8350 processor. Not running it real hot yet, maybe at 500khs, as I'm waiting for the CPU cooler to come. (Then it will be at 800)
Anyway, I'm generating about 1 QRK a day, which is around 3 bucks a month in USD and the electricity to generate those coins, here in Germany, is probably 5-10 EUROS. Just an estimate.
I think that is a problem in a few ways:
1 - Those with a free CPU to mine coins might choose one with a better return.
2 - It is expensive no matter how you look at it.

If my math is off correct me. I'm long Quark and a Quark holder but we need a higher price to keep the miners going, at least in some locals.

Looks like it dropped quite a bit. Still holding for the long term, but would be nice for some steady rise.

Thanks,
YC

Now that Quark is on a Chinese exchange, typically what type of price increase can we expect? I have heard everything from 2-3X price.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
YC

Seeing same pattern today as yesterday.  Price steady/slight sell off during the day in America.  Expect to see a price rise during the night as China buys up Quark with a peak in the early morning hours.  We'll see if that pattern holds again tonight.  Resisted impulse to sell at dip below .00012.

Customize Quark Subreddit professionally and win 2000 QRK

It's very very important that our Subreddit gets improvement. Some people underestimate how important it is how a coins subreddit looks like. Quark is special with a unique logo. It NEEDS to have an original subreddit.

It seems that we can customise a lot and Quark offers a broad customisation ideas. I don't know how to do it i'm not so technical but trust me it's extremely helpful to Quark to have a unique subreddit. Considering we are even trying to advertise on Reddit, our subreddit MUST get some professional customisation.

Less is more doesn't mean that you shouldn't customise the subreddit. It also doesn't mean only changing the color and getting it done. I'm talking about some legit Quark customisation. More examples down under.

Admit your design here: www.quarkfoundation.cc/forum/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=171
