Why did the orphan rate suddenly jump so high?

http://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/orphaned-qrk.html

Do you think it could it be related to the fact that one pool is responsible for ~95% of the global hash rate? ;)

the coin is really centralized these days, but orphans is because it's block time is very low

Spacing between blocks is 30 seconds which is too short a period. Do not fall for impractical coins like Fastcoin because they are fast, what is really happening is a huge amount of wasted hash power as several blocks get minted for every genuine block. I do not see a future for wasteful coins but remember that they could hard fork to change the behaviour if anyone cares.

About 50 seconds is the time when you see a drop off in orphans and 60 seconds is a solid choice. The 2.5 minutes chosen by Litecoin seems very conservative now and Bitcoin's 10 minutes seems like an age to wait.

nope I believe it relates to an error in the GPU miner -:

 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=475795.0;all

I agree.

Maxcoin's 30 seconds block time makes orphan problems and very low stability to mine.

Miner need to change block work every 30 seconds, which means if p2p network delays 1 second, they lose 3.3% to catch than other pools.
Network delay problem is unsolvable right now.

here he is the biggest quark pumptard of them all.

poor El Dude an his bag of magical Litecoins - you must feel pretty good that China gave such a nice pump to the old dead algo SCRYPT but don't worry retard, there are good years ahead of mindless ASIC mining and dumping that sucker yet.

you better get out to paper asap , something a retard like your self can understand, a pretty piece of paper.

: )

i'll see you back at $14 or under tard. lots of mining money to be made yet on that sucker.

El Dude is a desperate Litecoin bag holder which Max Keiser dumped on his head and now he is desperately trying to hold potential Cryptos. He is trying to get you to buy Litecoins so that he can compensate his fuck up. The guy has no life.

El Dude this subreddit suites you the best since you have no life www.reddit.com/r/nofap

BITCOIN/LITECOIN/DOGECOIN AND OTHER CRYPTOS ARE A PUMP N DUMP COIN WITH LITECOIN THE BIGGEST ONE, BE AWARE TO SELL LITECOIN ON TIME WHEN IT ENTERS HUOBI IT WILL GET DUMPED

 ;D

yup 24 hour volume for quarkcoin $ 41,290 24 hour volume for Litecoin $ 9,834,615 

https://coinmarketcap.com/


yup Litecoin dying bro  , your all retards.

lol it's like comparing Bitcoin to Litecoin and mocking Litecoin because it has lower volume. Your comment doesn't make sense.

Liste El Dude if you don't want to be screwed again sell your Litecoins this time. It's going to get pump and dumped hard on Huobi and you will save yourself all the sorrow that you will have to go through again in wasting your time here to collect Litecoin buyers to compensate your screw up.

Quark doesn't have the necessary requirements to get 30 sec confirmation time.
it was lousely coded, ask anyone that knows about the code. (since it is open)

the only reason it is this high is cause they made mining difficult, and no one has enough to sell it down.
which is also the reason it will never proliferate.

Sell quark. Buy MEC

I take Quark over MEC all day. It was the first which made multiple hashing algorithm big. Its one of the biggest hashing family. Also it's infrastructure and community is much better than mec. It is also added to www.VaultofSatoshi.com, www.Bongocoin.com, MuCoWa multi wallet and soon https://moolah.io one of the rising Payment systems. These platforms only add potential Cryptos and MEC is nowhere to be seen.

Quark also has a EURO payment processor already. The introduction video of MEC was very amateur, where Quarks does projects very professionally, it has it's own press team, designers team, it's foundation. Everything is getting organised. You can see it in their Reddit that they care. Quark has the image to go big, especially it's name.

I actually think the name is why it will fail.

"sir, you got quark?"

heh.

Isn't this you? wow you got busted so hard haha. Loser

https://i.imgur.com/VsHqbE8.png

what?

you think Quark is worse than TRC? really?

I don't like it, but it should be in that exchange.

Quark is far better than TRC, BTC-e are a bunch of money hungry bitches, they got bribed to add useless Novacoin. They should delete TRC/NVC and FTC and add some fresh blood and Quark should be a choice. Since it's already a popular choice amongst Payment processors like LitePaid, Bongocoin and soon Moolah. Also Vault of Satoshi has only like 5/6 Cryptos and Quark is one of them.

Really funny to see all these with their own pump and dump coins battling other pump and dumps.

Its a very competitive pump and dump market.

I only counter argument and correct those who run around nitpicking and mocking potential Cryptos without even following them. To be honest i wish everyone here to get rich in the Crypto they have. We are all together. I have been into the Litecoin community since it was $ 22 cents and Bitcoiners where bashing and mocking Litecoin all the time. Now Litecoin has gained value guys like El Dude think they can go on a bashing spree.

Netnox = reRaise?

We should have a ShillCoin. You earn it by catching duplicate accounts.

Agreed

Lol netnox is fkin with me

 ;D

Thats the best you can come up with?

Doesn't matter. Shills are allowed and lots of users have multiple accounts, though I don't see the purpose now with giveaway threads banned.

Yup thats what i can come up with Fernandez teach me how to get out of this please

Why do you want to get out of this? As long as you are not trading with yourself and leaving trust ratings its alright.

Alright i will mate, let's behave ourselves reraise...the other me ;D

lol  ;D

Ok enough guys fernandez thinks i have 3 accounts now :s

Hate to say it, but I told you so. Quark will soon be forked, it's simply a design flaw.

All coins including bitcoin have forks, it is how the blockchain works. A fork rarely has any impact on a coin.

hey it was good enough for Intel - ? http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/quark/intel-quark-technologies.html

: D

mine in a CPU / GPU use on a CPU.  

It's been that way for months. Nobody in the Quark community seems to care ...or care enough to do anything about it.

exactly, quark is a great name. One of the best hence why all the quark clones or tribute coins try to tag on to the quark theme.

When you see any of the huge wallets selling qrk then wonder why, whilst this tiny float of qrk is all there is available to the market then price essentially means very little.

All alts are down, ppc, ltc... from peak all are down by 2/3 or more.  No big deal this goes in waves. The new shitclones will die off and the stronger communities will pull ahead again.

Quark has avg Orphan blocks around 5% and as high as 16% (just yesterday)

Quark getting forked is just a matter of time.  really, and once it does, no one will trust it anymore.

Put your money where you can trust, like Megacoin.

that was Rockstar's big shot at pumping Megacoin - good work matey the world shuddered, people on wall st are taking phone calls right now, just wait for the capital to start flowing !  : |

Actually any attempt on Quark will be seen as more attempts to disrupt Crypto currency.

attempts so far have been an entertaining miserable failure, pushing decentralized Crypto eastwards  and significantly not effecting uptake and business expansion.

who would listen to some ass clown noob the woke up to crypto yesterday. I have already 50k Megacoin that is enough, some have 250k or more. It is a great coin, one of the best tech devs on here. However i still hold a far larger % qrk the guys at the core are very skilled at things way more important that the coin code. Did you not see that ADT  just moved complete chains? The coin tech is great but that can easily be changed. Getting a community and dedicated core/ services is way more important. Yes mega has a good community too compared to most.

Mega is a good alt, qrk is better in my opinion. You won't win fans over to mega from qrk... that just will not happen. You are doing mega no favours at all. Mega has a reasonable upside, qrk has a huge upside potential more so that 90% of coins on here. Most alts < mega < QRK.

99% of the time you see a qrk critic.... that's right they just heard about crypto... found they missed qrk....got jealous and upset....started moaning.

I really wish noobs were contained in their noob jail like before .... a few weeks in there before released into the wild.

The only people moaning about qrk have little to no qrk............but wish they did :) That is the most true statement you will hear on here period.

funny thing is there is a whole new world out there , we are 1 month into our stabilization period, i.e 6 months for distribution ~ 6 months for stabilization ~

I hope that in future we can work with other quality crypto currencies,  form political blocks , i have no problem with that at all , the only problem is finding other Quality Crypto.

They are out there, and i'm not talking about merging Dev team or anything spammy like that, I'm talking about in the preferable sphere where it makes business sense.

Payment systems , ATM's mico businesses .

You obviously are not following look here http://www.reddit.com/r/QuarkCoin/comments/1xa0gb/fundraiser_quark_foundation_pool/

It's name imo is apart from Bitcoin the best name of all Cryptos even Intel has called it's processor Quark http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/quark/intel-quark-technologies.html

They are now doing a Thunderclap and have more than 60,000 social reach already. These things for me are the signs that Quark will stay.

Looks like a pump and dump, quacks like a pump and dump, chances are it's a pump and dump

^^ This happend with all Cryptos, it's not an only Quark thing. Look at Litecoin/Peercoin/Namecoin even Bitcoin the whole alt scene went bearish. What's your point? At least it's far more ahead of the useless PMC you are begging for in your signature 8)

of course it's a pump and dump , the coin was instamined.

Did I hit a nerve or what ? looks like it, since you had to resort to a personal attack after I showed you a graph with facts, yeah pmc is useless as a currency all right, about as useless as quark and I admit I been pumping it for personal gain not because I really think one day it is going to replace FIAT currency and bring down the global bankster cartel and all that other fantasy bullshit you quark pumpers are trying to sell to naive noobs  ;)

Quark value went from almost zero to 75 million $ in 1 month and the next 3 months it went down to 10 million where it is now, if that not a pump and dump then nothing is.

No it wasn't you can't really say it's instamined according to the comments below which were made on July 22 on the official Quark topic at Bitcointalk, 1 day after it was released.

- "there was no instamine. I mined my first block at around 300sh with my little Xeon cluster, and it was already pretty hard to catch a new block. It was much much easier to get Primecoins for the first three days with the same cluster."

- "I got about 100k in the first hour and another 100k in the next 12 hours. Not really instamine. After the first hour the difficulty drastically changed things. Considering blocks are 2048 coins thats not that many. I did the same with YAC, and XPM when they came out."

You had 6 months time, not Quarks fault you were too busy attracting people to buy Litecoin to wash off all the dump Max Keiser did on your head with his Litecoins  :D

Yeah right it's useless that's why it has tons of clones and names after it. Nothing wrong with pumping, Bitcoin gets pumped all the time, it's all right when it's a potential coin and Quark is one. Get some knowledge on it before talking crap lol

Really fanboy? let me ask you one thing, what have you ever bought with quark ? lol

You know that Quark has a Quark > Euro payment processor? Recently Bitgild has accepted to use this payment processor and guess what it sells gold and silver. http://www.qrk.cc/merchants/

Second www.bongocoin.com, vaultofsatoshi.com, MuCoWa.com, LitePaid.com soon Moolah.io all have like 5/6 top Cryptos added and Quark is one of them

Yes i bought Clothing and Jewellery with Quark. It's time to lose the ego because Quark is really here to stay.

loose the ego huh ? , man you really need a mirror  ;D

Try putting the graph on 90% of alts up there next to that one a take serious look.

The same noobs calling qrk instamined and pushing mint and black and they were mined to full mint about 150x faster.

THE ONLY PEOPLE MOANING ABOUT QRK ARE THOSE THAT HAVE NO QRK

Well that is kinda my point quark just like all the other altoins lol, just pump and dump BS, now I dont mind pump and dump away, hell I even made a little BTC with the big quark pump in december.

But what really bothers me with Quark is the extraordinary bullshit koolaid the quark pumpers are trying to sell, like it really really special, more secure, better then bitcoin , the global banking cartel worried about quark etc, even with the transaction maleabilty issue the major quark pumper digital industry used this to pump quark, putting some disinformation out there that if mt.Gox had quark on their exchange instead of bitcoin, that this would have never happened. It is all just getting totally unreal with you quark pumpers.

Do you need ELI5? He is saying that mtgox didn't wait for BTC to confirm which takes 10 minutes and the scammers/hackers took advantage of that, with Quarks case it would be 30 seconds so it would be much harder to pull it off.

Another advantage of Quark might be in this case it was compared with darkcoin, Darkcoin's block generation time is 2.5minutes (150seconds), while Quark is 30 seconds. Which means that Quarks algorithm with an element of randomness (unpredictability) will have to be cracked in 30 seconds to create a double-spend fork, while for Darkcoin this window of opportunity for the attacker is 5 timeslonger: 150 seconds with no element of randomness**. If you take all these factors into account, Quark is still the most secure - it's not only about the number of hashing functions."

** Quark is using 9 rounds of hashing: while using 6 rounds from Blake, Blue Midnight Wish, Grøstl, JH, Keccak and Skein it adds 3 more rounds of hashing randomly: so the computer doesn't know whether it will be Keccak or Grøstl or Blake. And that's one of the uniqiue beauties of Quark. Unfortunately, Darkcoin or Qubitcoin don't do that: the computer remains certain about which hashing function will be used.

kids kids kids all these big mining words  !

run along a play with some Scrypt N factors. 

Transaction malleability has noting to do with double spending and receiving money without waiting for a confirmation, it is about being able to change the transaction ID, to fool dumb people or people with dumb software that a transaction did not happen when it in fact did happen. Quark is just as vulnerable as bitcoin to transaction malleability, it was just shameless disinformation in order to pump quark.

yes i certainly 100% did do that , and it was great don't you think?

: D

Also, of course would have helped if the retard  running the exchange wasn't a paid off thief, but why would i say that publicly?

After all this fat chump effectively handed the Crypto market on a silver platter to the BRICs nations.

so why would anyone dislike that guy, i'd shake his hand. (ask him for a cut of his 1000+ BTC)

as for the "more secure" etc, you will not hear that from me, but i don't run a decentralized market so how can I control any of that ?

by definition,  literally any definition Quark's economics and algorithm is superior as a "digital store of value" and "payment system" than Bitcoin.

again will i say that openly in public, nope with out the general Bitcoin protocol we all have nothing so we owe it ultimate respect, but there are things that you can not test on a  white-paper, free market multidimensional aspects that you can't effectively predict, you would literally have to look into the future to do that.

and the final evolution of the algorithm has arrived , and its Quark.

I can confidently say that the Quark algorithm (variants) will slowly or quickly take over Crypto currency.

there is no secret and there is absolutely nothing large forces in mining can do about it.

The easy to code in complexity will soon be tinkered with similar to the Scrypt N factor -

so a Dev will cook up:

1. Pick hash algos. (or groups)
2. Pick Random function(s)
3. Shake and Bake

mine with GPU and CPU.

Quark is lousely coded and filled with lies from the devs.

I read today from their site:https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/9706?locale=en

Quark is less volatile?
More stable due to 1m quark adding annually?
not pre-mined?

My god, full of trash.
look at their distribution:  top 100 own 76.8 % of all quark

yeah, not pre-mined.

you want a fair coin, get Megacoin.

ok Quark bad, Megacoin good

whahahahah

you know trash talking  1 coin and then immediately pumping another that does not really make you credible.

and well suggesting it been premined, that really gives your motive away, quark was not premined, if you want to stretch the definition of instamine, block rewards halving relativy fast, you could call it an instamine maybe.

really? louse coded qrk?  hehe okay you are doing megacoin damage. I expect kimoto to report you to the mods soon.

what?

Look at the Quark orphan blocks, and tell me I am not telling the truth dude.

You cannot report the truth little prick.

Megacoin is actually a STRONG SOLID coin, and I am here to promote it to the people that doesn't know anything, and worship Doges. :p

you stick to your beecoin, never heard of it.

Yes, the Quark Foundation announced this initiative about a month ago. It's still in the planning stages. Meanwhile, qrk.coinmine.pl has gone from controlling 90% of the global hashrate to 95%. Most of Quark's current hashrate comes from botnets so the foundation pool may not do much good anyways. It's going to be a little difficult to convince new people to mine when Quark's block reward is 1 QRK ($0.039) and the total amount of all transaction fees for a 24hr period is about 0.52 QRK ($0.02). This is not going to end well. There has been almost no serious discussion by the community of the problems Quark is facing. Instead we have clowns like you and Kolin dancing around and pretending nothing is wrong and starting astroturf social media campaigns. I hope both of you will be able to sleep at night if the worst happens and all those people who invested in Quark because they trusted Kolin and Bill Still lose most of their investments.

oh look another sock puppet with a new account -

1. not my social media campaign , turns out people just like Quark , hey ?

2. "the worst happens" what? Quark catches your cat on fire? you drop your iphone in a puddle while distracted ? can you explain the worst happening?  GoX revived with only Quark listed ?

you've never heard of a fallover pool? distributed checkpoints , all the market will see is a DDos  (which is pretty much code for "Bank agent" attack these days anyhow)

then an attempted fork.

by the time its over we'll have Alex Jones talking about it, he'll be ready with an AR hunting you down ha ha . we'll tell him its the English ! : D

That is why all of you need to turn to Qubitcoin,also cpu minable,secure hashing,same total supply,big community, price steadily rising,soon is block halving so price should rise even more.
