Topic: [ANN] [QRK] Quark | Core 0.10 upgrade - page 5. (Read 1031025 times)

Better buy cheap coins now!!!

super volume in Quark! lots of Quark changing hands 

Done.

The request form link is at the very bottom on coinmarketcap for anybody looking for it.

Well, the original design etc was done 3 years ago. We can look at updating it further in the future once we have development funding implemented for sure. For now its serviceable.

Android wallet is pretty poor. 

This sounds great.  And I'm sure I speak for more than me when I say thank you for this kind of update and level head you most obviously have! lol!

Moving Forward,

Ace.

Yes, I agree good and bad - I wish that the BTC trading pair on BTC38 had been kept alongside the CNY. However, this is a good thing for Chinese investors, so overall a good thing I think.

Re: Moving forward. I totally agree and we will. The team is also aware that we need to restore confidence as witnessed in the last several pages of this thread - I am being careful with my updates and actions to have concrete footing for making statements. The update is being tested right now and I'd imagine in the next couple weeks many of the bugs will be dealt with and we can finalize specifics. I'd like that to be done before we make any big moves - this update for me is crucial, as it restores network security to Quark and in my mind deals with the major failing of the initial protocol.

This in fact is good and bad.  But simply put, if investors are interested in Quark, than there is a market for this coin.  Proven by the spike in investors. MOVE FORWARD!

Ace.

Certainly that is in the plans. I'd like concrete details on the update and finalized code before approaching them though. In the meantime, BTC38 is actually a nice high volume exchange and do in fact have an english trading site. Our current 24 hours volume is 336 BTC, 99% of which is from their site (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/quark/#markets).

Do you think these updates would lead to Quark being listed on more popular exchanges?
I believe Bittrex are pay-to-list.

Good find.  That explains it well.

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to update everyone as its been a little while and there have been several updates in the Quark landscape recently.

First of all, the Quark Android Wallet was updated by Hashengineering on June 21st - check it out here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hashengineering.quarkcoin.wallet&hl=en


Secondly, BTC38 has elected to shut down their entire BTC trade pair section as they felt that there is too much volatility with BTC as well as the uncertainty related to a potential upcoming hard fork per their communication - HOWEVER this has now meant that Quark and the other coins in this section have now been moved to direct trading vs Chinese Yuan (CNY; http://www.btc38.com/trade_en.html?btc38_trade_coin_name=qrk), which has played a role in the recent price rally we've seen.


Lastly, after a couple of setbacks, we now have been working with the pacatum coding group (http://btc.pacatum.com/) and they have worked diligently to complete the lions share of the coding related to the coming update which will change Quark from POW to Hybrid POW/POS. In addition to this, they have also included masternodes into this codebase update! The code has been submitted to our github (https://github.com/quark-project/quark) and is now currently in testing. I will keep people updated in the coming weeks regarding the progress on this, along with the a timeframe for the planned hard fork which will be required to complete its implementation. Importantly, this update will change the inflation rate in order to adequately pay the various stakeholders in the ecosystem - ie. miners, stakers and masternode holders, and will add a development fund. Although not yet fully delineated, the likely breakdown will be approximately 1.5% POW, 1.5% POS (split between masternodes and POS stakers), and 0.5% development. These values are approximate and I will also update once these are finalized.

Nice! Glad you got it worked out.  I was perusing the quarktalk forums, but I could not find anytning to help you. 

Glad you are good to go!

Ace.

Ah, I've worked it out.
I had renamed the backup wallet.dat file as something else which caused the new wallet to create a new wallet.dat even though I had already deleted it.

Deleting that and renaming the original back to wallet.dat has solved the problem and I see my quarks.

I thought I'd type this in case anybody has the same problem in the future.

Thanks!  Glad to be here!

Ace.

Can anybody tell me whether I need to wait for my new wallet to completely sync before the transactions from my old wallet show in the balance?

Nice to see you posting here Ace!

The spike is from BTC38 moving Quark from the BTC exchange to the CNY exchange.  A sign of a higher price ceiling.  On the new side of the exchange, you can use yuan to directly buy Quark, where before you had to purchase Bitcoin and then do the purchase of Quark with the bitcoin.  No story with Shaq Fu at this time.

Quark dev team has restarted work and are close to a new POW/POS algorithm.  Which we assume is why BTC38 has made their change.  It looks like there are better days ahead.

Hope this helps...


Ace.

I have an issue of my own though hopefully somebody can help with.

On a newer laptop I've downloaded a new wallet and replaced the wallet.dat file with the one from my old wallet.

There is still over three years to catch up on however I had earlier transactions than that which I would have thought would be shown by now.  Is this a sign that something has gone wrong or does it need to sync right up to date?

I created a text file with these nodes and put it in the appdata > Roaming > quarkcoin folder.
