You won't be able to mine Quarks with specialized mining equipment like Asics. Using ASICs you can mine Bitcoin and a whole lot other cryptos, but not Quark as it defeats the initial purpose of Satoshi of 1 vote CPU power

Hi gang,,,
I posted a question earlier, but apparently posted it in the wrong place - or poorly worded the request...
..
Yes - I Am New Here (cant't ya tell?).
..
Please bear with me....
..
I have an issue with understanding the Debug results in the Quark Wallett...
..
Specifically::
in the Header

Then i type "getmininginfo" in the command line.
..
I see where my Miner is mining - but I do not understand a few of the key results/paramaters
...
I need to know what the following are telling me:
pooletx :  (usually a 0 - but I am getting 1's and 2s as well) Huh?
genproclimit :  Usually a 1 (sometimes a zero and others a 2) Huh?
currentblocktx :  Usually a zero (but I am getting 1s, 2,s and 3s) Huh??
testnet :  false  (does this mean I solved a block if I get a 1 in cuurentblocktx and a 1 in pooletx?)
Does the "false" mean I didn't solve the block in time?
..
Also I am assuming that  erros : " " means that I do not have any reported errors.  But would not solving a block too late actually be an "error">Huh
...
I am trying to determine if I am actually mining, or are my mining critters just running around smashing random rocks and then returning to the Cantina to get loaded?
...
Can some one help me understand what is happening.
..
I am about to set up a few ASIC Miners and want to first see if I can get a handle on this mining thing...
..
In gold mining it is simple (well, not really - some technical and geology is invoved -)  The simple method is to go out to a promissing spot in a mountain stream and sluice gravel to obtain black sand - which you then pan to get gold flakes....
..
Here you have a separate language all its own..
..
I just need to try and get a handle on what it all means.
..
Thanks
