If Quark just hits $1 per coin, it'll be the 3rd Largest Coin on the planet. Everyone will want a piece of this coin, This is truly the crypto for the "masses".

Great security and potential for "mass" usage.


Get in while it's cheap  :)

Quark seems really attractive now. Fast, very secure, usable for trade usage.

btw I'm promoting and working with Datacoin, but it is not just for money transactions - dtc has another purpose. Just to be decent, for 'pure trade' I'd like to use Quarks.

But when....  ;)

It needs a little bit of patience, buy and hold.

Notice Cryptos with strong fundamentals take sometime to rise, rather than 800% rise then 90% crash.

+1

we can help it - not to sell under price under $1 !  :D
yes, I'm Captain Obvious

Seems like it's just a huge pump and dump scheme? What can we actually buy with Quarkcoins?

What can you buy with ANY coins really ? Other than bitcoin and litecoin (very limited), you can't do crap with any yet.

What's important is the fundamentals (good tech, security and branding), and quark looks good in those terms for mass adoption. It's also getting a lot of publicity which helps that factor.

All altcoins are going down atm, including quark. Don't know if I should sell or keep them.
Maybe sell half...

yes its dropping,  ill buy more

hold them. it's recovering back slowly along with the market already.

I'm impressed that QRK didn't fall like an axe even after such large dumps (~2 millions last hours). Still hanging around 20 cents. Seems that it really has several strong investors and holders.

QRK/BTC is still dropping as we speak

exactly, last 2 days were a good test for Quark's fundamentals.

There is still an elite of top 10 Quark owners that could manipulate the market, and it only takes someone comming up with an even faster and more secure cryptocurrency to surpass this currency. I hope im wrong because i've already invested.

Also, Bill Still said it would escalate up to BTC prices. If it goes up to that price, then how it will be "the currency of the people"? The guys that got first there yet will still be the most wealthy. I still don't get the diference of this vs Bitcoin. The only positive aspects I see are the supossed faster and safer tech side.

Also, if this currency is "the currency" for the people you might as well donate me some since im poor:

You said the main differences.  Try sending bitcoin to someone, then try sending quarks.  In fact, send your bitcoins, then make a cup of tea, drink it, then send your Quarks.  Your Quarks will be confirmed before your bitcoins.

Do you want to mine?  Do you have a computer (i guess yes if you are reading this) then you can mine, maybe not lots, but it is profitable.  With bitcoin you need spend lots of money on an ASIC which you can throw away in about 3 months as it is worthless. That makes Quarks a coin for the people.  It already recently dropped to nearly zero, this allowed redistribution from the initial miners to the little guys.

Bitcoin price for Quark would be $100, as we have over 10x more coins in circulation.  Inflation will be lower with Quark very soon, meaning your coins maintain their value.  I don't know of other good sized coins that will reach this endgame before us, it makes quark innovative.

i think he meant in terms of market cap value, it makes sense since quark needs a lower value to match Bitcoin's market cap.

What the video again. "A lot of millionaires will be made next year". He clearly meant QRK/USD and not market cap value with "escalating to bitcoin price". Again, I hope he is right because im here to get rich besides supporting the technological revolution of cryptocurrencies (like most people here too, just being honest). If QRK ever reach 1000 USD i could retire with my 300 QRK, but the thing is, I don't see it happening at all because Bitcoin has the brand, the monopoly, and the mainstream place already taken. It's the original. I mean Snoop Dogg just tweeted about Bitcoin.

Seems that someone is trying to lower QRK price as much as possible, last 24 hours I saw a lot of orders that were up to 1.5x lower than 'buy orders'

I never understand that, someone comes in with say 300,000 quarks, but decides they want to sell NOW.
They crash the market 25%, then it bounces straight back afterwards.  Result is that the person with 300.000 quarks has lost out on bitcoins and the little fish have gained some cheap coins.

It seems ridiculous, but it happens pretty frequently.

Seems that there is really a lot of ridiculous decisions in QRK. It's not single example - tons of them, people are selling and selling and selling "just now". We could reach price at least $0.5 during weekend, but... :(

It's most likely them buying them back at a cheaper price. When they make the market crash (buy dumping all of those coins) noobs panic and sell their coins too expecting it to drop further. Mr 300,000 then jumps in at the lower price established as a result of the panic and makes a extra few thousand coins.

Sounds correct for 'sudden dump', like it was with BTC on Saturday, but now it it not sudden - it lasts many hours.

this is because there is so much capital caught up on the sidelines -

its pretty frustrating.

can be solo mined?

What the... People are bidding $100 on 200 QRK  :o

Wow, might sell a little ... but how do you stop them just reversing the paypal transaction afterward?

Currently there are more than 20 merchants accepting Quark payment.

http://quark.freeforums.net/thread/30/list-merchants-accepting-quark-payment

Also, you can use QuarkSpend.com to buy anything you want.

Invest in Quark or regret forever, fortune favors the brave  :)

put down minimum $100, if it fails (impossible) Eat less food for a month to regain the loss.

Quarkcoin would need a market cap of ~$245,715,425 USD to be worth 1$ a coin (at time of writing) This is a massive amount of investment required in a coin that is already at $0.20. Quark is clever in its implementation and all but what makes it better/more useful/more adoptable and preferable to Litecoin exactly?

(I have a small amount of Quark don't get me wrong - but I purchased my coins when it was worth peanuts)

FR

It is massive, kind of.
250million is actually nothing, the US government prints that much in QE in just over 2 hours!
If Quark is to take off in any way, then $1 is nothing.  At the moment it seems a lot, but with China pumping in money everwhere, it actually isn't much at all.

Don't forget, litecoin doesn't need to stay at it's market cap either, we are 50% of what litecoin was 2 weeks ago, but actually we are only 6% the size of litecoin... the goal posts are moving!  We could be $5 a quark and still the number 5 coin in a few months...  

EDIT and in reply to the aptly named noob, Quark wasn't premined at all.

Thanks for the response :)

I guess I need to get past thinking 245 million is a big number - globally it is indeed peanuts. If/when crypto actually goes mainstream then yes - Quark could indeed be one of the big winners in the future...

*runs off to buy a little more*

Yep, price of Quark has been oscilating in the scope of 0.0001 to 0.0002 BTC since 2-3 days. Buy now where it is close to the bottom of this range or you will regret it after week-month.
Remember it is listed on btc38.com in upcoming coins to chinese market.

Yep, BTC38 China launch soon  :)

Quark to the MOON motherf***krs !

 ;D

Just a few unanswered questions (pasted from their official forum):

Who's the founder?  Is he/she known and still active on the project?

Is there a list of developers that are currently working on QRK?
Are new developers allowed join the team?

Why do they set the default official website under .com domain?  (Just try, enter quarkcoin.org and you will see it redirected to .com)
Is it a community organization/development or a commercial .com business?

Note: I do have some quarks, I like how fast it is, in a practical sense it works very well.
I just see that there are some fundamental questions that remain unanswered by the supposed developers...

Can someone help to clarify those doubts?
I think that more info and transparency will be needed for people to trust it (and then see a price increase).

By using the power of the free market ,  there are no super holders of Q .

This selling has been just more of a transfer to smaller and more distributed hands , so what occurs ?

Large holders sell out of ignorance or to keep the price low ?

Many smaller buyers buy it up which strengthens our network and distributes our community base further .

We already have one of the largest forums .

Everyone is getting involved im getting lots of emails by professionals,  that want to help develop why ?

Because the price is 20c .

Which will further spur growth , Quark is the currency of and for the people .

Poor little franky : ( 

Zerocoin, assuming it ever comes out.  :P

If Quark is the currency of and for the people, can you answer my previous questions?
As you (digitalindustry) seem to be some kind of "insider", maybe you can help me (and many others) clarify those doubts.

Thank you for your help on this.

The coin isn't secure as long as over 3/4ths of the hashing power is being directed at one entity... sorry, but that's just how it is.  

For the exact same reason that this isn't good for Bitcoins

Quark wasn't pre-mined,  which makes your second statement a bit bizarre.. maybe explain the reasons as to why?

so, is QRK still solo minable, or not..?

Quarkcoin wasn't pre-mined, but 98% of the coins were mined prior being released.

thank god I bought in, time to sit and wait :P

What are you talking about?

If 98% of the coins were mined prior to being released, then it was pre-mined... this is not the case.

Quarkcoins were announced on this forum and when I started mining it was around block #500.


yeah, if you like 16 quark block rewards and being orphaned all the time

http://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1s0qdj/premining_means_the_coin_was_mined_before_public/

Why should I read that?  I already know that Quark wasn't premined.  98% of the coins also weren't mined prior to being released (because it wasn't premined).  Whatever is said on reddit is irrelevant

The amount of U.S. dollars being printed is only a small tiny fraction compared to the total amount of money supply. That value was built up over many decades.

On the contrary, quark has risen in 6 months with 98% mined. A fascinating story, but has many caveats on whether value can be retained or whether the price will approach zero due to large number of coins that could be sold at any moment when buying support disappears. It might not happen for a month, but when it does, it will tank faster than any of the other currencies.

When those speculating don't see returns due to older holders selling more and more coins into the market. Finally the speculators will sell and this will reveal the true value.

Well at least I'm hoping it won't collapse within a month, otherwise I would have sold or be in the processing of selling now. ^_^

Pretty much.  I had a couple million that I got rid of after that first jump to .00002 and don't regret it at all... why?  Because ultimately, well, Quark belongs at the .000000050 or whatever it was at prior to that jump.

& also people are still ignoring the *real* problem with Quark, and that is that one pool controls well over half the hashrate, probably 80% or more.  I sure wouldn't like to be holding millions of Quark when one person can decide my fate

I had 35,000 QRK a month ago and sold them for 0.02BTC....They're worth like 6BTC right now.

Sigh I've made so many stupid trades

Is there any possible fix to that *real* problem?

Of course Quark was pre-mined; there are 245 million of them!  LOL.  Who are the people falling for this ridiculous scamcoin?  Go down the list on coinmarketcap.com and pay attention to the number of coins available for each one.  Quark has 245 million?  REALLY?  What a massive fail.

I had over 86,000 QRK and I sold mine in October, I also had 7,500 MEC and so on. Oh well, there will be more opportunity down the crypto highway. 

You can say what you like, but they are going to pump QRK today.
Don't want it to be a pump & dump coin, but hey, buy it when it's cheap (and it is very cheap atm).

IDK why it matters what the domain is..

As far as I know Quark is a 100% open source and free licensed.

right there with you. I sold 60kQRK. I could have had 18 BTC at peak ._. more than double of what I've ever had

I sold 500K quarks, guys :( of course, it's not like BTC pizza, but it's also sad.
...it could be very sad, but I still saved some quarks, so let's see

Anybody knows why quark isn't listed on coinmarketcap at the moment?

1.26M QRK sold.

thread of sad people starting  :D
no, really, I'm sad about this.

Was it most of your quark supplies?

Yep, I got in on Quark early and had 20 machines mining and was selling them as fast as I could mine them. Didn't expect Quark to amount to much with YaCoin already well ahead. Not nearly as bad as the LTC I dumped a week before it shot up but pretty bad :D

Well good foundation of quark are  tested wright now block explorer is broken :)

You sir, missed out on 378 grands. Any other new coins out there that might be as successful as Quark? I'll start mining them ASAP.

So why you sold most of your Quarks if you had them in thousands just for 0.1 BTC instead of leaving them for a reason of diversify your investments? :)
Let's say you have 100k of ten different alt coins that you could buy very very cheaply. One of them hits $1 few months later. Got it?:]

the biggest pump and dump scam coin I ever seen , aren't 95% of all the coins already mined lol

Correct me if I am wrong but isnt more than 95% of all Quarks to ever exist already mined since it has been released?

Sounds like a possible pump and dump.


Incoming?

in fairness, one of the reasons that this coin was chosen to be moved forward is that it hads so little value, and shook out the large holders and original miners, meaning that it is a fairer coin.
The talk of being premined is 100% missing the poinnt. If it was 2% mined then mining farms would move in a corner the coin, that cannot happen.  Mining is basically a way of distribution, Quark is already distributed, it is ready to be used.  

250million will made in the first 6 month, those 6 months are almost up, now we have a stable coin to use for trade and transactions.  Other coins will dilute the price with constant coin increases, Quark will not.  There is no QE in QRK!

coinmarketcap.com its not even on this list anymore lol

I believe it'll be added back shortly, I saw it somewhere on the main Quark announcement thread.

The blockchain explorers keep getting attacked, without a working blockchain explorer the coin doesn't go on Coinmarketcap... it'll be back soon, you can attack the blockchain explorers but the coin is rock solid.

Prove the bolded statements.

Oh right, you can't.

How distributed is the REAL question.



1, 5, 10 early early adopters with a huge stash? Hardly a fair distribution to me given the mining supply model for the life of Quark having 95% of all coins already mined is ridiculous and obviously a red flag to new miners and investors.


Why mine 95% of all of Quarks to exist  in 6 months time when you can just use RIPPLE and MINE ALL THE COINS BEFORE THE NETWORK STARTS?

Seems like at least RIPPLE saved on electricity costs unlike quark. lol

good luck on your pump and dump guys , this coin is really not making cryptocurrencies look like a joke.

Because a lot of coins failed and this was during the great alt coin flood, I was making easy money by getting into each coin early and dumping what I had once it hit exchanges.

This was all during a time when no Alt coins were really making any head way.

Well Bitcoin only taught me one simple thing when it comes to prices - be patient.

That is my feeling too. The price was 0.0000004 BTC a month back. It was a great opportunity for a few whales to sweep up most quarks, pump it easily due to lack of sellers and then slowly sell off.

Wall st. Journal article on quark

http://online.wsj.com/article/HUG1747585.html?dsk=y

245 million is an obscene number of coins.  where is the value?  how many times has their block explorer gone down?  why would anyone want to buy in at this point AT ANY PRICE?

http://marketersmedia.com/plans-and-pricing

just curious,

what happens when hardly any rewards for mining are left (1 qrk per block)?

won't miners leave, and then the network will be vulnerable to 51% attacks? (from botnets and VPS)

Probably would have been better to have PoS if mining all the the rewards in the first 6 months?

I started a new coin called, "randomnameofcoin" and there are 1 trillion units. I just sold one to my pet unicorn for $1. I have a TRILLION DOLLAR MARKET CAP!!!!!!

What does this even mean?

The number of coins may play some minor psychological effect but other than that it doesn't mean anything, it's really just how many units the crypto is cut up into, even though you can subdivide coins anyway, so really it means nothing.

You could have a crypto with 2450 million coins and you would just get 10x as many per block and each coin would be worth 1/10th the price and it would be exactly the same.

hmmm you do realise bitcoin has 12 million coins right and costs over $1000 dollars. Do the math quark is still very cheap. Go buy some you'll feel better after the 19th when it's price is sure to rocket off again.

what will happen 'after 19th' ?

Please use http://quarkexplorer.com for working explorer!

Link "More..." in the right bottom corner doesn't work.

Also when I click in the wallet address for example in here http://quarkexplorer.com/block/000000000174e5c3ac37914902858b221e7202bf0647cb4bac500daecab8b26d
it also doesn't work.

That's when Bill Still is scheduled to go on The Keiser Report. Many people believe Bill Still's Youtube videos are the reason for quark's rise in price. I think it has something minor to do with it but the rest of the alt cryptocurrency also skyrocketed shortly after that report. I'm thinking it was that frenzy that had more to do with the rise in price.

The appearance on the 19th won't be so good for the coin if the price has continually gone down. When people see the report and notice how it has declined in price (if indeed it has by then) they will be less likely to invest in it.

Price of quark is going up and down from 0.0001 to 0.0002 BTC couse whales that bought/mined early are making profit right now.
See the list of Sell orders on cryptsy -> https://www.cryptsy.com/markets/view/71
Also notice that despite problems with block explorers, markets lags etc. QRK/BTC is still in the same range since few days.

Yes but the point of the report is not just to say make money, it's to show it's a faster, more secure in terms of the algos it uses and more naturally and fairly distributed version of Bitcoin. I don't think they are trying to tip it only as a get rich quick scheme. Quark was way undervalued to a silly degree. Bill tipped it when before i increased, i very much doubt they will be suggesting it will increase the same amount again in such a short time. However just pointing out the benefits it does will obviously boost it up. Quark was unknown before, nobody had heard of it , that will never return.  It's like bitcoin, the ONLY thing it has over other currencies is that it was first and more people know about it.  The only people that rant on and on that bitcoin is somehow better are the ones that hold a lot of it.   Bitcoin pizza shows how little it was worth when nobody had heard of it.  The show will only be good for quark.

The price like anything after a moon shot is leveling out, this is even better because the early miners are dumping to lots of other people. Fair price will be 10-20 cents right now. However as more hear about it and enter it will rise like anything else it is demand and supply.

When you hear people mentioning bitcoin litecoin and quark you know it is not going back to obscurity where it was a few weeks back.

Let's also realise the only real place to trade it is cryptsy and that place is screwed right now, try and buy or sell on the qrk market. A nightmare. It wont be long before it hits some big exchanges where people can actually trade it. Cryptsy only works for low volume coins right now, if you try to enter a qrk or ltc sell or buy you will find out it takes 4 o5 attempt and even then i will not happen. The lag is stupid.  

Bill is well known, max is VERY well known. See his twitter, wise men will bring me bitcoin litecoin and quark.

Anyone else finding Cryptsy an absolute joke? I've sent part of a litecoin there, just to see how quickly it gets into the exchange. Well it's had 6 confirmations - and there's nothing in my account yet.

So the question remains - are there any reliable exchanges to get Quark from? Cryptsy is a farce.

You just have to be patient. It takes awhile to get your account credited. I sent a couple of BTC there and it all got credited once it reached 5 confirmations, even though it said 4.

A lot of dumping going on it seems:

https://www.cryptsy.com/markets/view/71

A lot of buy orders also, there is 130 BTC and 73 BTC buy orders around 0.0001 price. Lots of people wants to sell a lot and there are also fat investors that would like to buy right now when price is still low.

Your unicorn sells it to my polar panda for 1 euro. A trillion euro market cap.!!!!!!!

so sorry - reality check time.
The only thing qkc has going for it is it's name. It's a nice, catchy name. To my dismay, that might just be enough... We are in a new mini gold rush era but with crypto currencies. Quark, for anyone who does their homework, is simply fool's coin. Stick to BTC, at least it's legit.

My honest opinion, please don't be mad.

Pretty much, yeah.  But it seems like you can make a lot of $$ off of these fool's coins right now... because nobody has a f'cking clue as to what they're doing,  also the reason why used ASICs are selling for 5x what they should.


sure, obviously it'd be setting up more pools.  that pool is open source

can't wait to come back and quote you in the future  if BTT.org is still here : D

don't Bag Quark too much - ; )

you don't understand politics do you

we will play nice if you do -

you know we have the people on side now  and it's going viral -

we achieved some things that others could not =-

so we don't want to leverage vectors that you don't want us to right ?

Sexcoin can buy you all kinds of naughty toys...and DvDs.  ;D

http://www.bonefishtarpontrust.org/?  what's with them?

On their thread:
First Adult Site accepted SexCoin will be announced soon, stay tuned!
It seems the first isn't yet the first :)

It seems a very good alt coin !!  ;D
Invest it

 
Politics? No.

 Meet the new bosses. Same as the old bosses.

 Until their not.

 There's a paddle for every ass!



 Soon there will be blood flowing in the Crypto Trading Streets. Lots & lots of blood.

 Play nice?

 After this disingenuous series of slander and slight against Novacoin and Quark?

 Best duck & cover if my senses are correct. ie: Here comes shock & awe, crypto style.



 The one thing these new bosses forgot is that their no match for overwhelming superior forces.


 In fact now the real truth and lots of their crypto digital blood flows from every bit and byte of theirs.



 Politics? Like I said, best duck, and run for cover.

 ie: Your soon to be chapped, raw, burnt asses are soon to be handed to you.

 Patience.

 Those paddles their a coming...I can simply sense it.

 Politics? You amateurs should have played nice. But now, well now it's going to cost, big time.

Caveat emptor - let the buyer beware!

Thanks for all the effort you put into that reply. You bring up some good points I hadn't considered before.

I think even bigger than Bill Still on Max Keiser will be when btc38.com offers the coin in China.

Exactly, this is a very good counterpoint against the people who say that QRK is "premined"...

Yes, many millions were in the hands of a few dozen people.
But I don't think that is the case anymore.

Did those early adopters make a fortune by dumping QRK at these prices? Not really... but they made some easy money, oh yeah.

But those people might look very stupid when QRK goes over a dollar.
But maybe its not stupidity but the willingness to share and give something away.

You can't make a coin succeed if you are the only one who has it.

Isnt this coin a massive scam tho? wth??  ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

Why?
You can't just call names, explain why...

Are you a developer of Quark? Because you sound very unprofessional.

look, if you derive a persons rhetorical or development skills by his chitchat in an open forum, you are doing something wrong.
Or what are your intentions?

Unless I'm mistaken Quark is just Bitcoin with multiple different hashing rounds. Is that it? Doesn't seem very innovative to me. It may be graphics card proof, but it isn't ASIC or FPGA proof.

Lot of dumps going on

Really? Point me to the gpu-miner or asic-miner that is capable of mining QRK with more efficiency.

Where are those?

Don't just make stuff up.

Yeah. Anyone has any insight on this?

Early miners, early buyers. Some of them want to cash out some % of their quarks right now. It's free market we cannot forbid them from doing it :p

I don't blame anyone  :P I'm just curious  :D

Seems dodgy to me. A small handful of people owning that many coins before it's even out? "Coin for the people"? Hmmm looks like a get rick quick scheme and Bill Stil has fallen for it through his naivete with crypto currency

Maybe Im wrong tho

Nxt seems dodgy as well but perhaps worse in some respect considering, iirc, 70 people hold all of the billion coins or however many there are and the only way to get them is to buy them off this 'elite'

What do you mean? "before it's even out"?

No mining was done prior to the announced here in this forum.

What for now worries me is that there are only sells going on, and barely any buys. Price dropped about 30-35% since yesterday.

I think the thing you are missing with Nxt is that EVERYONE had to pay to get in on the coin. There was no "pre-mining" and the forum originated here on this board. The creator put in 1 BTC of his own money to get part of the genesis block. Every early investor was capped at 1 BTC to invest. All new investors can invest as much as they want. If you invested in the first week, you would have got 1M Nxt for 1 BTC after it was officially released, which has gone down to 100k for 1 BTC currently. The early investors invested in a coin that wasn't even released and was just "supposed" to be released. That was a huge risk for them in doing so.

It's like buying any new cryptocurrency early, you take a huge risk. Also you are forgetting that the only way to mine coins is to to hold a share of the coins. Instead of the dependency on ASICs, GPUs, CPUs, etc. You can run the client on any computer that handles Java and it mines as well as mining on a high end computer using the same client, since all that matters is the amount of Nxt you hold.

This is not a coin where you "mine" to get new coins in blocks. You "mine"(forge/get interest) coins that were part of transaction fees that were part of other transactions between other trades. Same thing happens with any cryptocurrency (the transaction fee) once the creation of new coins ends.

It was premined, right?

I know that one of the developers has written (extremely poorly) about it, using water analogies etc., in an attempt to justify it, but that's what it was, no?

 I think the gloves just came off. Recall what I mentioned earlier in this thread?


 They thought they had control, and power. And knew politics well. Guess not. Not hardly.
Their more like a speck on the windshield so far.
BTC Firster's? Here comes a bit of humbling! Pun fully intended.



Caveat emptor - let the buyer beware!

I'm not familiar with the ins and outs of coin creation but they don't all need investors, do they? Just 70 people holding all of the coin with it setup so that you can't mine/forge without buying coin off those 70 people? Good luck to them but I'm just suspicious

So youre saying to go back to fiat now?

The thing is that the early investors have for the most part spread the Nxt to the rest of the investors interested in the coin so far. Early Investors did get an early profit when it started , but so did anyone who invested in the coin in the first week where the price has risen from .000001 to .00001 in a week. Some investors have spread more than 90% of their holdings to the rest of the investors in order to get them interested. The creator of the coin BCNext wanted this and stated he wanted the coins to be spread to the rest of the investors interested in the coin.

There have been a number of people who would happily donate a handful of Nxt to someone interested in the coin in order to get someone started in the mining/forging process.

Sure the coin would have failed if people didn't spread the Nxt to others, but for the most part and up to now, that hasn't been the case and likely will not happen as a result of what has already happened.

CPU Mined coins spells BOT MINERS Galore.


 What? Even grand ma cpu mining away? Nonsense.

 Hacked PC's turned into miners (Bots).



Caveat emptor - let the buyer beware!

seems that at ~12:00-15:00 GMT someone pumps QRK a bit every day  :o

My guess is that is the US waking up!  :)

*facepalm* yes, I'm from Europe, so really forgot about it :D

+1 nailed it

^
that is the most accurate statement on this forum right now -

and when the price drops i get a flood of emails asking how to buy -

my biggest logistical obstacle  has been

1. the Technology gap -

2. access to a BTC to buy QRK  (and all the learning involved) > our  "how to buy" approaches 20 thousand views <

+1

It has potential and very cheap buy in now.

So the answer is yes.. this is a scam coin?

quaaaaak , quaaaak !

Everything you need to know about Quark.

http://forum.qrk.cc/thread/337/quarkcoin-summarized?page=1&scrollTo=3270

however you explain it to those that missed out they will still cry scam coin, premine instamine. Who cares what they say, it will exceed everyones expectations and the same people will cry more they did not buy in now.
The don't get that mining is not the most powerful distribution source. The market is. Even now it's distribution grows and grows if it could drop to 10cents for a few weeks and stay there i think it would build an even bigger foundation to build from.

Sure the rocket it took seems extreme but that is because it was way way way undervalued. It will take a while to sink in that quark is not high at all right now it is just catching up to where is should be. It can never sink back to where it was, it was an unknown coin then, now it is talked about by anyone who knows anything at all about crypto. Quark is here to stay long term get used to it. Is it the best coin out there by design....it is certainly up there with the best.

Look to other opportunities instead of crying over missed ones.

Yep and next december we will have the same cry babies like nowadays with: "omg why i sold all my LTC year ago @ 15cents!!??!?!?!?!@#(&*@$*^!".

And for those who still cry they missed the train or something.. there is still one underrated quite nice coin at similar price right now that quark had month ago :>

Please provide some arguments for this. And forget that CPU mining already debunked as total crap , also the so called security adds nothing to an already secure coin?
Anything else?
Oh , 90% of the coins in the hands of the developers , no actual use for it  , nobody using it for anything else than trading it to BTC.

Lols , I am asking about the differences , and what quak coins brings new to the crypto scene!
And nobody knows.

What .. you afraid your investment in quaks will go to 0?
No more newbies helping the premined scheme?

lol, nothing happened, price recovered in couple of hours some didn't notice.

I like how everyone just bitches about every coin ever as being a scam. Then the moment they buy some it is the best thing ever.

Not every coin it's a scam.
NMC is not a scam. It's the only alt coin that has a purpose in its life.
There are other coins who can be considered clones , no real use , some never delivered improvement.
Also coins that can do the difference but they lack the team behind the idea.

And there are ... scam coins.
Premined coins , coins that are pumped in the begging by paid clones account here, coins which have only one target. Make the developers rich. No matter whose money is in there.

I think current dollar is bigger scam than every existed coins right now... That is another way (ofcourse despite fast earning and vision of easy money transfer) people are willing to buy them.

Quark is here to stay, growing market cap and a PR machine that's about to take off. Plus China introduction in coming weeks will be huge.

Other good alts are stablecoin, feathercoin, Cryptogenic bullion and Anoncoin

I would like to know more about the PR machine.  How, what and where?

So you mean you own a lot Quarkcoins and therefore you praise the coin? I would do the same ;) Let's asume you have 100 000 qrk and because of this thread the price is one cent higher, this makes 1000$ for you. That is no bad pay for some little work. So you can give a try ;)

No, I am sceptical. I own a few quarks (but sold 2/3 already), so I would be happy if the coin succeeds.
- But the point with the premining is valid.
- I see the small reward in a few weeks as weak point. Is there enough incentive for miners?

It would have been better to half the reward maybe every 3 months instead of every 3 weeks.

But I clearly like the idea with the 6 different hashing algorithms. SHA-2 is for now really secure. Maybe still in 10-20 years. And if there are signs for cracking it, Bitcoin could likely use a new algorithm. But this would be a big archivement to do this.
The 30sec blocks seems to be really nice, but is not a big feature. Relay time is more cruceal.

What do you think about Securecoin?

1 dollar doesnt seem so far away! today seems possible!

as posted on another thread
'is there proof that this was pre-mined, I managed to get a fair share of them for a month or so with my intel i5. I solo mined over a million of them till the difficulty went too high, gutted I sold them all for peanuts'

Exactly. There was no pre-mine, just a really short mining period. But everyone had their fair chance to mine in that period, and everyone could have bought QRK for almost nothing for the past 6 months.

In crypto investing should be one rule: never sell all till at least one year pass :D

Nah, i have never seen a more daytrading friendly environment than cryptos :)

Oh look.. it's THIS guy again..

Can you stop using the word "premined"? It makes it extremely difficult to respect what you're saying or take you seriously when you so blatantly use the wrong terminology.   I really want to hear what you're saying but every time I start to read what you write, I stop after one or two sentences out of sheer frustration because you clearly have no idea what you're talking about, yet clearly think that you do?

So far everything predicted in this thread is coming to fruition, we are almost there Quark is now #4 overtaking an old Dinosaur "NameCoin" .

Like it or not there is no stopping Quark, it's going to china in a week or two just watch the prices skyrocket  :)

Indeed.. Invest Quarkcoin xD

I don't think QRK will reach 2$. Why? I think people are going to sell @$0,98. Just to be sure.

Any idea when QRK is going to btc-e?
Any announces yet?

we can choose multiple books, i.e. 5 or 10 and add this TX IDs to all our promotions - just as proof-of-concept.
