Topic: [ANN] [QRK] Quark | Core 0.10 upgrade - page 232. (Read 1031025 times)

Only thing that can save quark at the moment.

Best thing that happened to Quark lately (all that Bill still and Keiser hype is nothing compared to actual community involvement).

What's everyone's thoughts on the new quark foundation ?

BTC and LTC had to go through this. It's part of 'Growing Up'. Nearly all the alts have this going on at one time or another. The ones that don't are either not big/good enough to inspire opinion either way, or they have grown out of it. (probably only BTC and LTC fit that)

Yes, this is what is happening.  I have more requests to buy now... Bigger investors have been frustrated, couldn't get quantity (500k+).  Exchanges are all small money, so, for little cost, the price can be manipulated down, then the BIG deal (rip-off) is done off-exchange. Happens in securities and commodities all the time !

Quark community has always been very "controversial", aggressive and emotional... also, since coin itself is new, there is still some undermining going on by supporters of other coins (this is currently not really that important and nothing to be afraid of).

At the moment, Quark community is pretty much split in half. I can see the arguments from both sides.

If you check almost any Quark thread, it will end up to be a flame-war between "Kolin supporters" and "Kolin haters".

I, for one, do not have anything against Kolin (he seems like a cool dude), but to be fair, I do not think that he should be considered to be "quark spokesperson" and really there is no reason to do it anyways (I have no clue why so many can consider one person to be a representative of an open source decentralized entity). Here's why:

Right off the bat: He has done so much for the Quark in the past and no-one can say otherwise. On the other side, some of the bad Quark publicity also falls on him.

Currently, only thing he does is posts about Quark and you all know how he writes (, I have lost count of how many people he has labeled as "WoW players with no lives and girlfriends"). He is very proud person who can not take criticism. I was like that also, but experience as a systems analyst has only thought me one thing. Humbleness and straight facts win people over (quite easily). No matter how many times you have to repeat one thing, you will have to find strength to do it again for the next (or same) person who asks. Arguing with a mindset that "other person is probably correct, but I would like to show him my point of view" is the best and works all the time. I can rarely do this. Kolin can NOT do this. At least on forums, where most of the hatred is generated. Also, I don't think that he can accept, that Quark has many active promoters and he probably feels threatened by them, which in turn causes drama and confusion in every thread (you know, "pack leader" thing, although no election for "pack leader" was actually held).

Now, when Kolin opens his mouth and talks (in a youtube video, for example), it is entirely different matter. He seems like cool knowledgeable guy who really cares about this currency! No-one should even think about Kolin actively undermining Quark. How much time he has spent on Quark is mind-boggling...

This pretty much sums up, why Quark community is eating itself.

First rule of crypto is still "Strong community equals strong currency.".

I have no doubt that this problem will be solved soon (by solution I mean that Kolin should not be that defensive and half of the community should not be such critics) and Quark can finally be the "LiteCoin" (path-maker) of CPU coins. Oh golden glory days and quarks for all.

PS: Love you all. You guys make me hold my Quarks!

Coinmine.pl pool down? Anyone know what there is problem and is that coming back online?

The word on the street is these guys paid a lot of money for this off exchange , I heard up to 50c !

This if true; proves how much of a threat they feel .

They are hurtling right now , I can literally tell you im being inundated with requests to buy by people that just don't want to deal with Bitcoin , you have to remember some of our investors have never used crypto before .

I've had a request to buy 1 million , I politely declined that as dont even have that much and to sell it off exchange would be negligent.

But these buyers are legitimate they are not "spammers" our enemies know this and know this capital is on the sidelines.

They lost more each time, the trolling increases when they dump and they are nearly out of all that high priced Quark it must hurt so much , we could literally do this forever , until they run out

: (  poor guys . So much hurt and pain .

There will be around 1 million coins mined a year going forward. So, yes, it "could still" be profitable to mine.
This, in a sense, is the experiment (in part) of Quark. Instead of it being about money to mine and mine to money, it is an earlier (mostly) mine and then distribution.
We will see if the network can withstand that. I would think it does as we are early in the game, but no telling what happens.
If Quarks price goes up too much, too soon AND we hit the 247.6 million coins made (and 1 million mined per year there after) it will be an open target for supporters of other coins to attack (the network).
The network better stay strong and get stronger. I have been harping on this and get little response from the community. It is #1 as far as importance goes.

When the price was nearing 0.00010000, people were listing huge quantities of QRK for 0.00010020, 0.00010017, 0.00010002, and prices so close to 0.00010000 that nobody would do that when prices had been falling as quickly as they had. Furthermore, the protection was at 0.00010000, not lower, so these people stood to lose some serious money if prices fell lower relative to the miniscule additional profit they would reap from selling at 0.00010002.

Not that it matters.. QRK was getting boring - spending so much time between 0.00013000 and 0.00016000 lately... Thanks guys for changing the game. Gave me some fun this morning.

I'm really tempted to buy more too.

What you mean? ...

nice opportunity to buy already under 0.00010000 on cryptsy

Do some reading at the Quark forum and r/QuarkCoin.

It's pretty obvious this 'community' is eating itself.

Can you explain it a litle further or is it just some rage?

It will work itself out. Not a big deal. This happens with a lot of the Cryptos, they are a danger to BTC's price, not so much to BTC.
An interesting and needed test for any Crypto...
Read an interesting post with how it had been going on with LTC recently, up until yesterdays breakout.
Anyway, more distribution, may take a while to work itself out but good in the long run.
Hopefully we don't go much lower, nice hammer forming...

Yeah, and that effort is from the Quark 'community' itself.

Glad I wasn't the only one to notice that. At least a lot of us are able to get some cheap coins now =)

+1 great job to all dumpers!

(stop panic and sit on your funds and wait omg)

Yep, they are playing to devaluate it just now on Cryptsy.

It's pretty clear there is a coordinated effort going on to devalue QUARK. There was a guy yesterday who purposely put up a 450,000 QRK sell wall at 0.00013500 and then turned it into a bunch of 6550 QRK sell orders which spooked the sheep. Now the sheep are actually falling for this ploy to devalue QRK. Great job guys
