Topic: [ANN] [QRK] Quark | Core 0.10 upgrade - page 331. (Read 1031025 times)

Sigh. You're just spewing bullish language and not adding any value to the conversation. There's no question QRK has been getting a lot of negative publicity the past few weeks, and the fact that they're block explorer is still going down just shows how much of a mess everything is. Where is the progress to China? What is being done to get this coin onto a different exchange than slow ass Cryptsy? It's a dead horse, but why is it so much of an advantage to have such an astronomical amount of coins in the hands of so few? Where are the deadlines for the logo and the website? Where is the active involvement in the developers? I want to see the QRK developers active. I want to see some humility out of them, admitting that the early-mining looks poorly on the coin. This coin has a lot of trust to instill in me before I invest any more, because as it stands, I'm regretting what I have put into this coin thus far.

Lets get a list together of things we need to make QuarkCoin easier to use; easier to get information on; easier to follow; easier to obtain; and easier to spend.



I start with the following:



1. An exchange (I'm currently working on an exchange that will make buying/selling QuarkCoin as easy as Bitcoin itself, but in the meantime, Cryptsy, Bter, and Coin-E are simply not options if we wish for QuarkCoin to grow. Their servers are slow; their interfaces need working; and liquidity is still an issue. Currently, there still is no option for direct exchanges between USD/QRK or EUR/QRK. There is only BTC/QRK or QRK/CNY. Not cool.)



2. Local Exchange. You know LocalBitcoins? We need a LocalQuarkCoins.



3. Faster wallet. There is no reason to download the whole blockchain. Think MultiBit. It's light. It's fast. QuarkCoin claims to be fast, yet it's still reminiscent of Bitcoin having to download the blockchain.



4. A new website design. There is a contest going on for a new QuarkCoin logo. One of the guys mentioned that the current logo looks dated. Well the same applies to the current website design.



5. Mobile app. No explanation needed.



6. A domain name that does not end in [dot] com. Have we learned nothing over the past 2 years?



7. Servers for the website & forums held outside U.S jurisdiction. Same reason as above.



8. A video that explains the pros of QuarkCoin, over both fiat AND other cryptos.



9. A social media presence. This will make people feel more comfortable getting on board. Even now, with myself heavily excited about QuarkCoin, I am bit cautious as to whether there is any forward development of the ecosystem. Has development stalled? Are there any projects in the works?



10. A project board. This way whoever wants to get on board developing something they can. This will also give people a sense that the community is active.



11. Meetups. This will not only help awareness of QuarkCoin, but will foster discussions pertaining to the challenges & advantages QuarkCoin has. Plus, you get to make new friends. Pretty cool.



12. Bi-annual release convention. No other crypto-currency is doing this. Yes, they have large meetups and conventions of some form or another, but think of the 6-month release cycle for Ubuntu. Every 6-months, the Quark community should host a conference like Google I/O, but with a Google Hangouts & Hackerspace type feel. All walks of life will feel free to come.



13. A wallet that can be installed on your computer, not one that you have to "run" every time to use.


14. Merge Quark Freeforums & QuarkTalk. Why have two discussion boards? Also, QuarkTalk feels as fast as "freeforums", but newer.


I encourage everyone who is interested in starting on one of these, to get in touch with the community. I am currently working on an exchange. If anyone wants to lend a hand do let me know.

Sigh. You're just spewing bullish language and not adding any value to the conversation. There's no question QRK has been getting a lot of negative publicity the past few weeks, and the fact that they're block explorer is still going down just shows how much of a mess everything is.

Who is QQJhTa5e76NQWgakv5WDDwndxGx6fdvbZ8? He has mined MANY blocks. If it's the address of a pool, cool. But if it's a solo miner with A LOT OF mining power, he may dump OR become a millionaire if the price of Quark goes even higher. He is mining a block every few seconds.

For every seller there is a buyer.
Let the weak hands give away the QRK into the strong hands.

Strong hands = longtime holders.

So I see this selling as a good thing. It will not go on forever and not stay forever at this price level. Obviously the ones that buy QRK now, want to sell it only at much higher prices.

Patience!

The price should be around .20-.30 right now, this is the time for Quark to surge in recognition and marketing tactics. Everyone is dumping right now and Scam accusations are being thrown at it left and right. It's 2 weeks from being on Kieser's show and the explorer is constantly down, no polished logo or new site. Im just hoping they can make a good impression on more investors.

Why? What should the price be in your opinion?

QRK is not a get rich quick scheme.

Quark is at like 11 cents now. Not exactly instilling a good feeling in me...

I think we need to keep the original logo, but with a little bit of tweaks and refreshment. Because people are already familiar to the logo. There is not really a need to change it completely. The winner in my eyes is someone who keeps the current logo characteristics alive, but gives it an elegant look.

Agree

Haha, hilarious!

Quark is now accepted in a Tea Shop in Berlin

I have been approached today with a request for Quarks (direct sale) . I know others have been asked, but of course don't want to sell at the current level.  It looks like someone is driving down the Cryptsy price in order to try to acquire a large stake at a lower price.

Sure I know, watching both
And I am very eager and willing to sell a few % of my quarks for that price
