Saw this in another thread and it's very eye-opening:

http://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-quarkcoin-addresses.html

Notice how fewer than 300 people control a whopping 76% of all Quarks in existence.

That is insane.

Where's this massive decentralization we were promised?


Look Litecoin at the same link:
2230 accounts -> 19M Litecoin
2230 accounts (no people)  control 77% Market

but Quark only have 6 months and 2 months with real trade and exchanges,
Litecoin at least 2 years

Well you can't do anything about someone buying $2m worth of Quark, which shows how popular Quark has actually become.

It's like someone buying $100m worth of LTC. You cannot forbid them. It's a free market.

hi, just a question: is this coin only cpu mining?
Yes it is practically only CPU mining. I know you can simulate with GPU's by using something they call "smelter", but then you would be much better off mining another coin with your GPU as you would get a lot more Quarks (10 fold..) by buying them in one of the markets with Scrypt-coins.

Please take note that Smelter takes fees, except for that; yeah you could GPU mine quark.

thx for the reply.

How many quarks at day i gain with about 45kh/s? (i've an old cpu.. Sad )
Perhaps 1 or 2, with a good pool..

How about mining Particle or Molecules, that's the same algorithm.. If lucky you might be able to trade them in for more Quarks later when they hit the exchange. That's been my strategy so far; Everything goes to Quark in the end, but from different ways as mining directly is way too hard.

can you send me a link for this other coins you suggested me? (Particle or Molecules)
Thx for the info!

Anyone with good PR skills wants to help me out and get the word out about my site? www.appsforcoins.com
People can buy iOS paid apps with Bitcoins and Quark! I'm not making money on it, I did it for fun. But I also want to promote Quark! I think this currency deserves it. With a good coverage in Bitcoins and iOS blogs a lot of people would see Quark.

Also any feedback and ideas are welcome..

Thanks.

Right. Everything is going to QRK. QRK is dead. D-E-A-D.

Which Pool do you recommend?

I've been using qrk.coinmine.pl , but my miners are in Europe and what's good for me doesn't necessarily have to be the same for you.

Well I was just in a bad mood and I tend to tell what I think in that case.

Do whatever you want !

you have nothing - let me show you how wrong you are. : D

but if you are holding any feel free to dump the hell out of it !

We are working with the CoinMKt guys to improve the exchange .

Maybe already asked or dumb question, but if there are already 247M of coins mined, what we are mining now is the yearly inflation?

* Total of 247 million QRK will be mined in ~ 6 months, after that ~ 1 million QRK p.a. (~ 0.5% p.a inflation)

Current block value is 4 QRK



There are more than 247 million  coins to be mined , it's 247 4xx xxx or something if i remember correctly not 247 000 000. Then inflation kicks in.

Back to the hashrate discussion:

http://forum.qrk.cc/thread/461/qrk-coinmine-pl?page=4
Is this even real?

If you are mining at Feeleep's pool ( qrk.coinmine.pl/ ), please switch immediately to another pool like mine-pool.net/qrk/ .
Feeleep's pool now controls 97% of the hashing power of the Quark network and it puts Quark under the risk of a 51% attack, which will irreversibly damage the reputation of Quark just like it happened with TRC and FTC during summer. Read more about the Feeleep's pool situation here www.reddit.com/r/QuarkCoin/comments/1usxmz/feeleeps_pool_accounts_for_978_of_quarks_total/


And as the reward goes down , so did the hashrate for the last two adjustments.

Lol guys, do I have to remind you that Quark is a copycoin ?

Wake up, we are in 2014. PoW is dead. Mining is dead. If you invest in any of these copycoin you are a fool.

The 2nd gen of cryptocurrency is 100% PoS and add innovates features like :
brand new software (not the fucking BitcoinQt)
routable through Tor and I2P
Decentralized Alias System / DNS
DDoS Protection
Transparent Mining
Arbitrary Messaging
Instant Transactions
Decentralized Marketplace / Auction
Distributed Storage
Multi-signatures
Blockchain Shrinking
Two-phase Payments
Voting System
Reputation System
Decentralized Mixing Service
Distributed Computing
Smart Contracts
Distributed Computing
Hardware Wallets
...

Does Quark have or plan to include any of these ? No.

Quark is one of the hundred of mine&dump coin. So mine it, dump it and let it die.

So, what is (according to you) the good one?

Yes, Please inform me what is the best alternative crypto-currency available, I am also interested.

Please do not say BitCoin & LiteCoin - The people who have made fantastic riches on those coins are so adament to defend them, and act like just because they were first that they are best. I find it hilarious that these people will not diversify into some of the new cryptos to 'hedge their bets' with the 'house money', and that they are solely focused on destroying the competition, rather than joining the Alt. Crypto movement and accepting technology.

I'm trying to connect to my quarkcoin daemon(on a vps) from my php website(godaddy);

Blockchain is up to date, here is conf file


The netstat --ip -lpa|grep quarkcoind command prints :


I can't see the port of quarkcoin p2p port(8910) in above image and I can't connect from php a test call :


Quote
require_once 'jsonRPCClient.php';

$rpcclient = new jsonRPCClient('http://quarkuser:[email protected]:8910');

$res = $rpcclient->getinfo();

echo print_r($res, true);

Where I'm doing mistake ?

Thanks
