Topic: [ANN] [QRK] Quark | Core 0.10 upgrade - page 46. (Read 1031025 times)

While waiting for lower price, you can try to check if everything is ok with new OpenSSL 1.0.2 in my Quark wallets at:

Always do backups of your wallets!

It seems new round of selling is finished. Now it is time to buy lower. And again...

quarkfx, you had me at 14 yo killing people .. say again the quarktalk jackpot in which more than 40 individual SOLO miners participated the first time round, say again what ? say "noone participates" please repeat that.

Quark isn't secure great thanks for your opinion, you can move to another coin now which is more secure ;-)

It doesn´t matter whose fault it is, what matters is that Quark is 99% centralized at coinmine.pl which means that if coinmine.pl has any sort of issue, the network will collapse and remain unstable for enough time to perform any sort of attacks. As I said, I don´t expect any attacks, but there is no way to call Quark secure anymore. #

Also, you should be aware of the fact that it is not the responsibility of the pool to stay under 51% hashrate: There is a strong incentive with all PoW coins to join a pool. The only incentive not to do so is a "jackpot" that people don´t bother to play, because its peanuts (even though I agree that the reward is an even smaller peanut).

@maok


Should I tell you again why noone participates in your "jackpot". They are not braindead, they probably simply forgot to switch off their machines from mining Quark or they are a small number of servers where someone sometime pointed a miner to coinmine.pl.


How long have you been in crypto? Are you aware of the attacks that have been performed, even though that would somehow hurt your logic that they are harming themselves? Do you know that there are 14 years old, writing worms that can effectively kill people when entering sensible systems like hospitals just for the sake of it? The only reason that Quark runs is that there are very few who would care to kill one out of hundred unimportant cryptocurrencies.


Sorry, but that´s horseshit. "any form of fraud"? Really? Are you even aware of the different types of attacks that can be performed? Double-spending is just one out of many. Also, checkpointing can be ddosed and no, the few hundred nodes Quark still has are not many. What makes you think that? Even Auroracoin has still 200 nodes even if it´s dead.

You know Maok, we don´t need to agree on the security of Quark but your way of arguing is pathetic. If you don´t think it´s a problem that a decentralized currency is effectively centralized at one pool then I don´t get what you are doing here. And with regard to the argument you made on Reddit, a cryptocurrency can´t be destroyed, you absolutely miss the point. No, a cryptocurrency can´t be destroyed this way. In the end it´s only a protocol. However, value can be destroyed if a network forks due it´s weekness. You really sound like Digitalindustry: rejecting any sort of rational criticism and evangelizing the great advantages of a currency that noone else is interested in.

Please repeat: Quark is coinmine.pl

Enjoy e-pool mining!

they are braindead  because if they'd solo mine they could also participate in the jackpot and win lots more quarks, the winners from Christmas are: http://quarktalk.org/threads/mining-jackpot-winner-s.1006/ the next draw will be on 21 July 2015 so anyone wishing to get out of the pool you could be lucky and win much more 

As for the attacks and destruction lol, there's nothing much any majority can do without harming itself, plus Quark has double spending protection unlike most other crypto currencies so we are protected form any form of fraud as long as you keep your private keys safe.

thats the miners fault. most miners are braindead and just follow guides/copy-paste.
tough a pool that cares about such situations, would not allow itself to grow that big. obviously, this isnt such a pool.

Few days ago you would have needed only 80M to perform a 51% attack, if someone had really been interested to knock down the network he could do that by temporarily ordering a few number of virtual machines. It would probably have costed less than 1000$. Even that was too much to perform an attack, noone cares.

The Hashrate hasn´t been that low since December 2013, still in December the situation was better because it wasn´t that centralized - even though it was really bad:

As you can read from this post the Hashrate of Coinmine in December 2013 was about 90%. Today it has 98.96% with 406M Hashrate (don´t believe it? click here). There is basically noone solo mining. Quark IS coinmine.pl.

Waiting for Digitalindustry or Hillux to come and claim that Quark is the best and most decentralized currency.

I´d be interested in an explanation how Quark could ever get away from being centralized at coinmine.pl

500,000 QRK buy order on Cryptsy right now....someone is planning to PARTY! 

LOL! Looks like Quark'll get you high.

i'll be interested and check it out for sure - i know many people around the free world are interested in 3D printing.  : )

Thanks! The 3D Printer we are showcasing on the website right now is a very early prototype of the ISG 11 that we are releasing in 2 weeks.

We will have the chance to keep you updated on that matter, but we are releasing a brand new line of printers with very high print quality.

thank you for the info -

most crypto are fake or price manipulated unless they are neutral control, and all neutral control Crypto are attacked a lot of which comes from Con talk (this forum)

 you and the ceo will learn this later on, however its good to support all the principals.

I will definitely support your cause.

: )

this printer looks good - i'll try to learn more about it.

I am not part of the company but I am a very early investor that own some shares in the startup.

ISG3D is based in Quebec, Canada and the CEO owns some Bitcoin, Litecoin, Blackcoin, Vericoin, etc. He believes a lot in cryptocurrencies.

We haven't heard much about Shapeshift before, but it is very easy-to-use, we are already setup on Shopify!

Thanks for doing this Max and thanks for taking the time to cross ref info.

regards.

thank you, are you a part of the company ?

where are you based?

you should know, you will get a "tap on the shoulder" do you know FrozenBit disappeared ?

I don't personally know much about shapeshift do you?

3D printing has a large future.

Yes absolutely, I have some friends working on a 3D printing startup at ISG3D, there was some articles written about our BTC acceptation recently in early January.

You can read about the team on the CoinTelegraph: http://cointelegraph.com/news/113237/isg-now-accepts-cryptocurrency-for-3d-printers-and-related-services

The company is currently working hard to release their own line of 3D printer with the ISG 11. The printer was made 70% of 3D printed parts, and it is expected to be ready in 1-2 weeks. ISG3D are talking about maybe going on Kickstarter, the printer has some really innovative technology and maybe it could be interesting to get funding there.

The team will also be accepting all the other cryptocurrencies supported by ShapeShift for payment. Some of my friends over there are BTC enthusiasts and they are excited to collaborate with this community.

Hope to release the new website soon, thanks!

Very interesting can we get more information?

Good news for QRK, 3D printing webstore www.ISG3D.com will be integrating QRK Quark payments through Shapeshift.io very soon!

The team is currently moving the site to Shopify, we will be able to buy a 3D printer in QRK in a few days!

Stay in touch!
