Topic: [ANN] [QRK] Quark | Core 0.10 upgrade - page 236. (Read 1031025 times)

That is great. He obviously heard of it thru Bill Still.

I have been a fan of james corbett for atleast 5 years now and highly value his opinion.

Well james corbett advice is what I already do: I look into many cryptocurrencies, and try to find the best suited for me.

I am not sure if james corbett understands what a SCAMcoin is, and how a scam works with cryptocurrencies.
(I am not calling Quark a scam, I am just asking if james corbett even knows what we know)

James Corbett doesn't accept ANY cryptocurrency on his website, not for donations, not for dvds, not for anything.
So while I value his opinion, he obviously doesn't put his money where his mouth is.

But he might. We will see. I would donate quarks to him if he had a quark wallet, even more than I would to bill still.

Thanks for sharing that. That is the most I have heard.
Of course, it all comes down to network strength in the end.
As I have said, I'm a Quark holder but this is a concern of mine. It should be talked about.

I'm running the client to help and I opened the port up (but only see 6 active connections right now).

No, I'm not mining. Tried that but on my home computer it was just too much.

I was looking at this a week or two ago. 

Most coins have a direct way of accessing the network hash through the daemons in the wallet software. Sites like Coinchoose use this function, as far as I am aware. Not all the daemons support the "getnetworkhashps" function, and for PoS coins there are extra complications.

Quark does not have this command in the daemon, and Vircurex is the only site which shows a Hash Rate for the QRK network. This must use the alternative method, which is simply to monitor the block explorer and the difficulty, estimating a Hashrate by seeing the rate of block discovery. This of course is dependent on the assumptions made in the estimate: You will see that the Networkhashrates for each coin on Vircurex vary quite suddenly, and that is a function of several things, mainly the random probability of block discovery.

So, how reliable the QRK rate is, I cannot say, but I think we may assume ,quite conservatively, that it is of the order of magnitude of Litecoin, possibly somewhat more.

If anyone else can shed further light on this, I would be very interested to hear from them !

Is there any information available regarding how many nodes Quark has?
How many GPU's/Cpu's does Quark have defending it?
How can we make sense of Quarks Gh/s in relation to BTC, LTC, etc. considering that Quark has 6 algoriths? Does that matter much?

I'm trying to get a picture of it's network strength, regarding my post above. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4226452

Thx,

I enjoy listening to James. One of the few Investigative Reporters out there who is worth listening to.
I remember that mention actually. It was on Dec 2nd though.

I do see money flowing into Quark (and the other alts). We are in a critical spot with BTC imo, the other Cryptos will follow - up or down.

James Corbett mentions Quark.

I didn't know him until today so i'll quote the original poster on Quark forums: "For any of you Quarkers out there who enjoy and follow James Corbett of the Corbett report, I was super pleased to hear him mention Quark in an interview on Self-Education Radio.  He was discussing Bitcoin and said that he thought it was a good idea to put some money into it, and also some of the other cryptos like QUARK.  That's the only one he mentioned and he didn't go into why.  But I have tremendous respect for Corbett. He absolutely thinks for himself, does all his own research and is brilliant. 

This gives me a boost of confidence in Quark and my gut feeling that it's a good coin for the future."


Here he talks about Quark at 12:55 www.corbettreport.com/interview-780-james-corbett-on-self-education-radio/

Does this mean a lot to QRK?

I understand that. But im trying to read this topic not having to scroll through mass lines of sites multiple times. Its enough to just copy and paste back to the message where you linked all the sites before. Its pretty funny you assume im such a Doge enthusiast, theyve done a great job at marketing and i respect them for that. In a couple weeks they have done more than Quark has done in marketing, and that's real talk.

just use the ignore button

spamming? this is the quark thread and its about quark, don't know what your going on about, go back to the doge thread

stop spamming that everywhere

does this look like a scam?

is the quark hashing resistant to quantum computers?

eMunie is gonna be huge! Dan Hughes the developer is the real deal - this isn't some copy and paste jokecoin, it really is the next gen of cryptocurrencies!

I totally agree with Mjbmonetarymetals's prediction about 2014 being an incredible year for Bitcoin and many alts. I truly believe there is going to be a full blown tidal wave of money pouring into cryptocurrencies and many good alts will skyrocket. Quark is definitely at the top of my list, as is eMunie, Peercoin and Devcoin (I love the philosophy behind Devcoin, where the generated coins go to funding open source projects and artists).

Basically, anyone hopping on board the cryptocurrency train now has an extremely good chance of seeing some truly staggering returns over the years ahead. It's as simple as diversifying your portfolio between a couple of good cryptocurrencies and then buckling your seatbelt for what is surely to be a wild ride.

I'm just working on some valuations for Quark.  Feel free to jump in here. I'm looking at the market caps in relation to number of coins and each other, as well as the network GH/s rate (need help here).
Of curious interest to me is how Quarks Market Cap will grow differently as there are relatively few coins being mined in relation to the outstanding number of coins. Quite the contrary to BTC/LTC.

Consider BTC is the leader and LTC the clear #2. Check my numbers below, but it is pretty simple and I'm just giving an estimate. Please check!

Market Cap, ratios and number of coins:
BTC has roughly 12 million coins so far with a market cap of around BTC. (Todays price of $764) Prices take fromhttp://coinmarketcap.com/
LTC has roughly 24 million coins so far with a market cap of around BTC. (This is 1/15th the size of BTC) Todays price of $24.76
QRK has roughly 247 million coins so far with a market cap or around $27 Million. (This is BTC the size of BTC. 1/21 the size of LTC.) Todays price of .11

Over the next 3 yrs, BTC will create 1.3 million coins each year, and then for the next 4 years will create 657k new coins per year. At the end of 2019 it should have around 18.5 million coins.
Over the next 2 yrs, LTC will create 10.5 million coins each year, and then 5.26 million coins each year for the next 4 years, then 1.3 million coins the next year, so at the end of 2019, should have 66.9 million coins.
Over the next 6 yrs, Quark will create roughly 6 million more coins. So, that should put us at around 253 million coins at the end of 2019, or there a bouts.
* - I didn't pick 2019 for any particular reason. I just went out 6 years from now. Play with this if you have any reasoning.

At around the end of 2019 we have this many coins and a Market cap (with todays price just for comparisons sake, feel free to play around here.):
BTC 18.5 million coins. $14 Billion
LTC 66.9 million coins. $1.7 Billion (1/8 the price of BTC)
QRK 253 million coins. $27.9 Million (1/500th price of BTC, 1/61 price of LTC)

Notice how much LTC jumps in value (3X it's current value, 1/8 the price of BTC - up from 1/15th) as it is growing so quickly in supply. Now perhaps this just means the price of BTC needs to appreciate more than that of LTC, hence we use the ratio quite often.
Comparatively QRK "depreciates" as not many more coins are coming online relative to it's initial amount and also relative to the ratio compare to the other 2 coins. So, all other things being equal, QRK should appreciate quite a bit.
One can clearly see the aspect of having a coin mostly mined already really changes the equation regarding evaluation is concerned. It's growth model is very different. How do we interpret this?

Network Strength:
BTC's Network is 11.5 Million GH/s Blockchain.info
LTC's Network is 89 GH/s (Scrypt, We can't compare these numbers directly) Litcoin Hashrate
QRK's Network is 678 GH/s (Again, not sure how to compare these numbers, but even more complicated here) Taken from Vircurex's website
(There are other coins with HUGE hash rates on SHA256 e.g. - NMC 8 million, IXC and DEV 4+ million)
Can anyone add something regarding this? I really would like to get an idea of how strong QRK's network is, this is a telling consideration (eventually anyway).

Well said - I notice the Veteran members tend to make more sense -
