This is all very interesting but really what are we trying to demonstrate here?
Read the posts of "digitalindustry". He tells you these answers.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9162675Can you just spell out your hypothesis here so we can analyse it once and for all? I'm not saying you're correct or incorrect.
No I jumped into conclusions too fast in the past. I have learned from that, and still make mistakes sometimes.
For example "r3wt" is indeed present in the beginning but he is not the scammer as outlined by "igotaids". Accountname "reb0rn21" (whoever that was, but I have my thoughts) was the scammer from day 1.
QRK started as a scam? and those involved were somehow got unfair advantage? - i don't think even if that was the intention it worked out like that.
I think other people had different thoughts about that:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2774780--> to me this sounds like "mining monopoly" and who is screaming that he hates mining monopoly so much?I read the posts of DI differently, because I know he likes to do self reflection. (telling that I am a troll, but in fact he is the troll etc)
But this link doesn't proof anything. Still seems that pretty much people (including you) could mine Quark from day 1.
All of this seems fairly improbable since stephen lamb took more or less the vast majority of easy coins along with a couple of other hash whales. These people to my knowledge dumped them all pretty soon after,reducing the price to arond 60 sats and keeping it down below 200 sats for some time.
Maybe you are right. It's one of the things I try to find out.
Let's just get this all out in the open , deal with it and then forget about it. The origins of the coin and those involved are not all that important at this stage to me. I feel that whatever the start only a few well known hash whales that had bots monitoring the board grabbed it all up and then lost interest and dumped. DI told bill, he brought in a ton of investors, they grabbed a little of each and sit on it. There is not much for sale. Little sells and buys make the price fluctuate a lot. The vast majority never comes near the market.
That's your opinion and I respect that. You can always ignore me just like "maok" is doing if you are irritated by my posts.
For example I try not to react on comments from sockpuppets of DI (like "nixon99" and "Hilux74")
Oh and don't get me wrong. I liked the videos of Bill still very much because I had bought my Quark before Bill Still was promoting it. I experienced it as a very well marketing strategy.
The low sell orders are very worrisome (to me). Maybe you are correct that the vast majority never comes to the market, but as long as you can't do much more with Quark other than speculating at exchanges I don't really believe that.
How's the steam games project going?
As long as I don't know the truth about Quark (who is really controlling Quark (is it decentralized or one person??)), I am not involved in any Quark projects. Best is to ask maok or macduro.
