Topic: [ANN] [QRK] Quark | Core 0.10 upgrade - page 238. (Read 1031025 times)

Quark's being not profitable to mine is a good think which would make it more valuable.

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

At around 7 pence per quark it really isn't out of the reach of anyone to buy and hold some for the medium / long term, so called "second generation coins" like emunie will launch at 10 cents per coin right out of the gate.

Anyone involved in crypto currency's must have noticed the tidal wave of interest building which is going to make 2014 an incredible year for Bitcoin and many alts.

Really to those who's strategy it is to atempt to denigrate another coin in the hopes of shifting market share from that coin to your coin of choice should think twice it reflects badly on the whole altcoin market making it look childish to say the least. Try and reach outside the bitcointalk community all this infighting looks really ugly - my coins better than your coin....... Come on  

A lot of people really don't understand what makes a cryptocurrency succeed.

First the coin must be on an exchange, multiple exchanges is even better. Quark meets this requirement.

Second the coin must have a viable and sustaining network. How is this accomplished? Normally there is a pump and dump scheme where a large group of miners rape the coin and dump it at any price to make money. Unfortunately the result is that the price plunges and soon nobody wants to own it (invest in it) because it is nearly worthless. Eventually the situation changes when the coin is nearly completely mined and the block reward is small, the constant mining and dumping no longer affects the price because the reward size is so small compared to the total number of coins. For nearly every coin except Quark this is many tens of years from now. For Quark because of its rapid distribution this situation will occur in the next few weeks to a month. The mining and dumping of coins will have little effect on the price because the block reward will be so small compared to the number of coins being traded. However, because it is still mined by those that don't pay for electricity the network remains viable and robust.

What is the result of this situation of having most of the coins distributed and having a sustaining amount distributed by mining to keep the network viable?

A coin that is investment grade. There is a natural trend for the price to rise and big money (i.e., wall street money) has already begun to invest in Quark.

quark is not going anywhere.

ha, touché!

As a fellow quark supporter though, let's hope the message gets across...

a lot of people here sure seem to have a lot of hate for quark, I dont get that really, I am not a big fan of Quark, because of the instamining thing, but heey, why hate ?

actually i think quarkcoin seams to be a good coin generally and a really appreciate the work done with this coin since it will make it possible for me to release a very good altcoin. If you are curius about odincoin you can chech my temporary forum/blogg which i update often.

If the coin was really bad i wouldn't be typing this.

quite is quit and ceed is seed so you probably shouldn't tell him to write things properly, i can't talk i can't spell very good either, i'm just saying

i just want to point out the ignore feature again!
for example, i put people which only talk (nonsense/FUD/PR) instead of doing something, instantly on my ignore list.

Seriously.

Kolin- Quite acting like a kid and man up.

And by man up I mean only speak if you have something positive, mature, and properly written to say. Anything else you do is only serving to hurt quark and your reputation.

Read the large type again and meditate on it.

I have to agree with you, Robert, and with professorY.

I have a stake in several other coins, and what impresses me about them is the level and type of discourse in the forums. They focus on solving specific technical and marketing issues, rolling out features, and enlisting wider support from third-party vendors. In general they don't waste too much time with third-grade trash talk, or anything else that doesn't advance the value of the product.

Lol, so you completely deviate from what i said and make fun of me for having a jokecoin in my sig? Should i repeat myself again so you can see what i said. Maybe with bigger text this time.


Exactly. A more professional attitude by an unofficial spokesperson for Quark would bring even more support for the coin. Act your age and thoroughly read what people post Digital

how's odincoin going? have you finished it yet, or are you still here talking trash.......and releasing all the coins creates stability and that's what a world wide currency needs, Quark is coming along just at the right time, i say you have about a month 2 max, to get odincoin out, get a payment site, forum, promo video's app, mobile wallet or your coin will die, no matter how good it is, so get to work, and stop sabotaging our hard work, because we won't do it too you,it's low bro real low...

i was wondering about shortselling this coin since i need money do develop my coin, but seriosly the real reason is to see the reaction when i point of the truth about this scamcoin. A coin where over 50% of the coins is minted within a mounth and final block reward at 1 when the initial is 2028 cannot be considered anything but a scam, who cares about nine rounds of hashing when it is awaiting certain death in a 51% attack, since you made it cpu only it will be much easier for botnets to bring this shit down.

Toll harder - but not too hard - you will pull something =-  

oh i see you have Doge in your sig - how is that all turning out for you ?

: D


** did some kids just recently find out about economics 101 ?

** That you can't just spam out a billion units to try to raise a market cap ?

** To pull scam like that you would have to not have a Block-chain like say Ripple so you can then engage in some serious price manipulations !!

** Doge was doing well when they were being circle jerked on their own exchange . but when stepping into the real world uh oh - you need to scam properly to do that like Ripple or Mastercoin -

Exactly. A more professional attitude by an unofficial spokesperson for Quark would bring even more support for the coin. Act your age and thoroughly read what people post Digital

why are you here? go work on your coin, no one cares what your opinion is, lots of other coins out there have survived and there pieces of shit, quark isn't so instead of talking it up why don't you prove your coins better, and we will prove you wrong and in fact  our coins better, we are way in front right now, better catch up, we have payment sites with online wallets about to launch, promo videos,app's a huge community one month! after anyone Evan really found out about quark can you Evan imagine what it will look like in 6 months, you have no idea do you, the whole world is about to rush into crypto's , wall street is about to pump millions if not billions into crypto's and we are right at the top with the big boys, quark actually has one of the best chances of becoming a worldwide currency and we have the site opening in a few days that will make it possible, so you better get too work, your about to miss the boat, once the world rushes into crypto's only the strong will survive and quark has the strength.

no money lost but bad trust rating? sounds strange.
