I'm not really up on the qrk team as it stands ....
Who have we got here
I know about
max - creator and still involved?
vic -
cryptovation -
who else is there? I never use slack so would like to have a list of the most active quarkers here so I know who is who
we have a new developer, his name is Speca, a professional coder currently working on updating Quark to the latest bitcoin core.
I am also onboard working with Cryotovation and Speca.
Concerning Max, Cryptovation and I along with many others feel he has had more than his chance to do the right thing by quark, but instead has failed it. We are putting together a team now, so will keep you updated. Quark needs a fresh start away from its past and creator the mysterious unknown Max. The quark community deserves a new team that is transparent, honest and dedicated to the project.
max - creator and still involved?
vic -
cryptovation -
speca - coder

I kind of agree on max although he has done some things of late he is far too slack to be considered the lead coder on the project. Else we will be at 100 sats for years.
Although having said that he obviously can code and could still help if he wanted. Up to him really - come on start helping and contributing on the thread or i guess ...not.
Can speca tell me is it not possible to fork something like PIVx? which is kind of the thing we are going for? or do we have to design and code all of this from scratch ourselves and is this something he can do?
It is possible to fork pivx and it is still an option for the community. This is basically what cryptovation put forward to the community and so organized to be done by Alex and team. It ended up very different, Max should explain.
Developers were paid to do a PoS upgrade, I recommended using Peercoin as a base, someone decided instead to use a buggy PivX masternode/PoS implementation as a base. The masternode code was far from working, PoS was tested by the community and me, major bugs were reported. No fixes were done by the developers, so it was wasted effort at the end of the day.
Max it would have been very helpful if you had of been more engaged and communicative during our engaging Alex and team. My question to you Max why did you not communicate with Alex and team about using Peercoin as a base and why was it that I only heard about this after Alex and team had already worked with PIVx??
FUD. In my very first message to alex i specified we would like it to be based of Peercoin implementation.
Max can you explain why pivX is doing so well if it is all buggy?
I am trying to understand why we are not forking pivx since it has the features we want?
Also good you are active to respond to things on this thread.
All we all want hopefully is the best for quarks future. I hope you and speca can work together and that the entire team can get along.
Will you be able to dedicate more time to quark also can you please buy up a huge chunk of quark now it is worthless so you can have enough financial motivation to get full on with developing or helping developing quark.
My opinion of you is what i said. QRk was a fair launch without any premine so you never got enough financial incentive to work much on this project is that a fair assessment or not?
Also are you open to working with other coders on this project and having a team rather than a one person does everything type situation?
Just want to have open discussion about this because I am still buying up quark at this time.
Lastly can you quickly explain why just forking straight off of pivx latest build is not the best move here?
What was the talking about quantum resistant and how realistic is this coming to fruition in the near future.
I don't know for sure but i sense there is 2 directions that is threating to pull quarks manpower in half. Be good to resolve this even if by community decision so that we can unite and work in one direction.
