Topic: [ANN] [QRK] Quark | Core 0.10 upgrade - page 227. (Read 1031025 times)

In theory ? 0.
In practice? Nobody knows. My bet is on .050

yeah what you all think how low we can go ?

Time to shake up the weak hands.

Who pays for electricity? Certainly not the botnets and hasher farms!

1.- Opened port in router and NAT to the computer holding the wallet: From 15 active connections to 124 active connections
2.- $ quarkcoin-qt -reindex ... nothing
3.- $ quarkcoin-qt -rescan ... nothing
4.- Disabled firewall on computer holding wallet (apparmor / ubuntu): Everything is OK!!!

So, finally that turned to be a problem due to firewall blocking something related to the wallet.


Thanks for your help,

See the quark review in my sig.

Quark secures 40 points, Bitcoin secures 4.

Notice they generally have low activity levels and other alt coins in their sigs. Quite simply there is money to be made from doing what they are doing, no matter how ingenuous they may be.

For example, look at what adolf said regarding the early mine. That is/was a concern to me but I think it is a viable alternative, an experiment and we should look further at it, discuss it, don't just knock it.
Make the talk a conversation, 2 ways, not just bashing. Using an early mine has some potential advantages (and note, even with BTC there are very few holders having VERY large amounts). I wish I could have
gotten into quark sooner, but anyway I see how the distribution model in an early mine coin (that is ASIC resistance for a bit longer than most coins due to the multiple algorithms it uses) has certain benefits.
For example, the arms race to mine is now not quite as much on the forefront. Perhaps this can be both a good and a bad thing, but look at it, investigate it. Enjoy another experiment here. Also, the low price
as many coins were already mined are going to be VERY attractive for people wanting to get into something "cheaper" and "early", etc. People with many coins will sell some for sure and distribution will take place.
We'll see how that goes.

Somewhat related, the high reliance on the SHA256 hardware coupled with new hardware making the old hardware mostly obsolete means newer SHA256 coins are gonna get attention, clearly. (Kolin mentioned this.)
So, we are probably going to see a trickle from these SHA256 coins (and soon to be ASIC LTC's and other SCRYPT coins) into Quark imo. Due to most of it's mining already having been done (relatively speaking), I think it might be seen eventually as a store of value as it relates to the centralization of the ASIC miners. This in an unknown though, and it is all unfolding just beyond our view currently.

Some concerns - for sure - how will the network be secured relative to the lower (?) demand with mining? We will see. As Cryptos become more popular and more money flows in, you will see networks attacked, 51% attacks, DDOS, etc. happen and that will be needed and weed out the weak ones. How strong is our network? Bots a problem?

So, instead of bashing, I'll take some of my chances here and try to look deeper into something it sounds like, quite a few people don't understand, but seem hell bent on bashing. That pulls me closer...

And I get the feeling 2014 is really going to be an interesting year with the Cryptos.

Its about sharing

why is quark more viable than any other alt-coin? I don't see any of these coins having a long enough shelf life to even compete with bitcoin. Businesses accepting 100s of alt coins? I can't picture it.

just me who think quark need to be marketing better?

 New people need to come to quark. I think that all the false accusation about it being a scam or premined coin has intimidate new people. Its heading in the right direction but need more good publicity to stand out from all other alts

So , right now , with a blocked reward of 8 coins we have 46080 quakrs mined /day , right?
At a price of 0.087$ this makes the reward 4000$ /day.

Now , if the block reward drops to 1 , miners will only get 500$/day.  And 15 000$/month.
Compared to electricity costs this makes the network look very insecure for the moment.

Nothing goes up constantly - when an alt appreciates substantially is usually followed by a 50% or more correction. All eyes on Bitcoin now to make its next big move once that's taken place expect (some) crypto's to make another move higher.

Anyone expecting to buy into any coin only to see it go up in one direction should review bitcoins rise to fame. Buying before a big drop allows the opportunity for reflection as to whether there was any substance to the investment in the first place.

the value might increase. And is certainly not doing this right now , although bitcoin value has gained over 20% lately.
