beautiful! loved the RT episode, only wish it was longer or addressed how people could buy bit coin and trade for quark. already recouped half the loss this week and the Americas havnt even woke up! Grin

Stacy Herbert, Keiser Report co-host, is as pale as a vampire. She needs blood.

Some of us really like that kinda look.  Go Stacy, you're smart, and that is the ultimate hotness.

Just wow!! Quark on Keiser report was awesomeee!! Keiser really was enthousiastic about Quark and man Bill gave great answers. I see a bright future for Quark. One of the top coins for sure.

I'm all for Quark becoming a more known and solid Crypto, but I watched this Keiser report and to say Bill was giving great answers, when he said "I'm no expert here" like 3 times, is a bit overboard.
He is on the show, he SHOULD be an expert HERE. See what I am getting at?

We need some difficult questions answered honestly (like I asked the page before) and that will help us more than cheerleading from people (albeit with a big mouth and big following) over the long term.

I'm not so concerned with the short term though it is nice to have more eyes, of course. We have some serious hope though as the Crypto space is really growing and I hope people (miners) and more nodes (e.g. me and hopefully you guys too) come in and support thisCrypto. Price is just one measure of success.

Well it depends on us as a community also. If you think you can come up with ideas or developments then bring it to the public. On the forums/reddit etc. Quark is coming strong showing his pros, it made it to RT even and from here we must help to make it gain more. If everyone just comments and makes suggestions like they know but does nothing than posting only, than it won't gain as much. We as a community need to start to do more and talk less  Smiley

Where can we find out how the network hash rate of Quark coins stacks up against other cryptos?
I see the market cap is at a nice level but to be fair there are a lot of quarks out there, and so I wonder how well the network is being supported and not just coins being held.

Appreciated, holding long btw just a concerned holder,
IAS

You can't compare hashrate between different algorithms, as the different hashing-functions take wildly different times to compute.

Since there's only 2-3 coins with the same PoW algorithm as Quark and none of those has a big following, you can't really make a comparison of Quark hashrate versus, say, Litecoin.

Thanks for the replies guys - all of them.
Even though Quark is a combination of algorithms, can't we still compare some available figures, like number of nodes, miners, Gh/s, etc?
There must be a way of fairly comparing these coins, at least within reason. Promethium listed Gh/S in that chart and I wonder if that if a fair measure?
Quark doesn't look bad there, but of course needs a stronger network, or rather more people involved in the network.

Very important question that I originally asked. I imagine Quark can't yet have the network presence that its market cap suggests, just due to how long it's been around - but prove me wrong, please.

Thanks again,
IAS
As block reward drops to 1(Approximately 9 weeks away), Quarks hashrate will presumably also reduce. This will negate the need for an electricity hungry mining presence.

This is a bit interesting. I still imagine we need lots of miners to secure the network. This is the strength when it comes time that we are attacked, and I imagine that is inevitable.
Though we can look at electricity as being "wasted" I think that isn't the case. We are keeping a hopefully large and attack proof network up. If we don't have more miners every
month (up to a reasonable future point), then we have problems. Look at BTC's network strength. That is partly why we see services being built ON TOP of it's blockchain. It
is a secure space. Even if Quark only ever is "just" a currency, having a strong network is VERY important and a must.

Thanks again for your answers,
IAS
You are absolutely correct about increasing node strength, Quarks block speed requires us to prepare sub 10 second propagation to all major nodes. This will require strategically dispersed high speed node placement.

I fear 450 million might be a bit over the top, as only 630mil people can receive it and 75% of all possible receivers seems a tad high!
Still great coverage though.
all of the keiser reports are also on youtube, and rt has a website that plays the show

Kaiser actually asked Bill Still about Quark, and mentions it next to Bitcoin and Litecoin.  I'm wondering, how many viewers does the Kaiser report have?  I only heard about it through QRK, myself.
RT has 450 million viewers.

Wow what a number. After few hours americans wiill start to wake up. Could be interesting.

Yeah... I always wondered why it is not listed @ coinchoose.com   Huh

Coinchoose only lists SHA-256 and scrypt coins.  Coins with other algorithms, such as YAC, PTS, QRK, Primecoin, aren't listed, because if you paid for a Radeon graphics card, coinchoose helps you to find the best coin to mine with your graphics card.  These other algorithms are more cpu specific.
