In my opinion, the incentive to mine will be that there are 1,000,000 new QRK to be mined each year. Because mining is done on regular computers (CPU only, ASIC proof), anyone can mine. And with a decent system, you can run it in the background without even noticing it's running. So, assuming Quark becomes something desired and with value, why wouldn't you set your computer to mine? It's free money. If too many people do it, the difficulty will get too high and some people will turn their miners off until the system finds its own equilibrium of return vs cost (electricity, etc).
I wonder how the difficulty of QRK will develop in 2014 and the next years.
Since we will always have a more or less fixed bounty of 1 million coins every year.... how will this be shared when more and more people start mining?
That's the difference with bitcoins... the bitcoiners DON'T have this fixed amount of coins to mine every year.... but instead always fewer and fewer coins...
and the harder they try the harder it will be to get new coins... hm..
I can imagine that pretty soon you can forget to believe that you can successfully mine with one core of your one cpu.
Instead we will see users with hundreds of cpus take away the big part of this million coins...
What will happen if the million coins will be mined before the year is over?
I am not sure how the difficulty of qrk will behave in the future.
Can someone elaborate on this?
