Quark community has always been very "controversial", aggressive and emotional... also, since coin itself is new, there is still some undermining going on by supporters of other coins (this is currently not really that important and nothing to be afraid of).

At the moment, Quark community is pretty much split in half. I can see the arguments from both sides.

If you check almost any Quark thread, it will end up to be a flame-war between "Kolin supporters" and "Kolin haters".

I, for one, do not have anything against Kolin (he seems like a cool dude), but to be fair, I do not think that he should be considered to be "quark spokesperson" and really there is no reason to do it anyways (I have no clue why so many can consider one person to be a representative of an open source decentralized entity). Here's why:

Right off the bat: He has done so much for the Quark in the past and no-one can say otherwise. On the other side, some of the bad Quark publicity also falls on him.

Currently, only thing he does is posts about Quark and you all know how he writes (, I have lost count of how many people he has labeled as "WoW players with no lives and girlfriends"). He is very proud person who can not take criticism. I was like that also, but experience as a systems analyst has only thought me one thing. Humbleness and straight facts win people over (quite easily). No matter how many times you have to repeat one thing, you will have to find strength to do it again for the next (or same) person who asks. Arguing with a mindset that "other person is probably correct, but I would like to show him my point of view" is the best and works all the time. I can rarely do this. Kolin can NOT do this. At least on forums, where most of the hatred is generated. Also, I don't think that he can accept, that Quark has many active promoters and he probably feels threatened by them, which in turn causes drama and confusion in every thread (you know, "pack leader" thing, although no election for "pack leader" was actually held).

Now, when Kolin opens his mouth and talks (in a youtube video, for example), it is entirely different matter. He seems like cool knowledgeable guy who really cares about this currency! No-one should even think about Kolin actively undermining Quark. How much time he has spent on Quark is mind-boggling...

This pretty much sums up, why Quark community is eating itself.

First rule of crypto is still "Strong community equals strong currency.".

I have no doubt that this problem will be solved soon (by solution I mean that Kolin should not be that defensive and half of the community should not be such critics) and Quark can finally be the "LiteCoin" (path-maker) of CPU coins. Oh golden glory days and quarks for all.

PS: Love you all. You guys make me hold my Quarks!  

The word on the street is these guys paid a lot of money for this off exchange , I heard up to 50c !

This if true; proves how much of a threat they feel .

They are hurtling right now , I can literally tell you im being inundated with requests to buy by people that just don't want to deal with Bitcoin , you have to remember some of our investors have never used crypto before .

I've had a request to buy 1 million , I politely declined that as dont even have that much and to sell it off exchange would be negligent.

But these buyers are legitimate they are not "spammers" our enemies know this and know this capital is on the sidelines.

They lost more each time, the trolling increases when they dump and they are nearly out of all that high priced Quark it must hurt so much , we could literally do this forever , until they run out

: (  poor guys . So much hurt and pain .

: D

Where and how much ? And please don't make me open cryptsy for a  < 0.2% price rise.

Great thanks for the confidence vote , and wow look the user has more than 20 posts ?

How amazing .

So many new users on BTCtalk of late !

any Chinese friends in the house can anyone give me feedback on btc-8 ?

love they they just listed QRK against CNY  ! : D

I apologize for the lack of contact when it comes to requests to add coins. I have to prioritize messages and e-mails or else I get nothing done.

I have made a few statements in the thread on this subject, but I guess it is time to repeat it again.

I am not adding more coins to CCE until CCE3 is in the production stage and CCE has been completely converted. I started the CCE3 project so that CCE could handle 100's of coins using the same amount of resources the ABE based explorers use now.

CCE3 is a project I have written alone and from the ground up. At this stage the Explorer is stable and I am working on the API. API development should be quicker as it is, for the most part, the same as the web server except with a JSON I/O vs. HTML.

I will be adding more coins to the test server as it comes time to hard stress test the system. I have a couple of coins lined up, but in most cases I have to pick based on activity in order to get a balanced view between lightly and heavily used coins.

CCE3 Thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=262539.0

I also have other projects I am working on that have deadlines to be met.

So please be patient, I am working over 80 hours a week on everything. I want to deliver products that are outstanding and not just half broken,buggy garbage.

Is there any information available regarding how many nodes Quark has?
How many GPU's/Cpu's does Quark have defending it?
How can we make sense of Quarks Gh/s in relation to BTC, LTC, etc. considering that Quark has 6 algoriths? Does that matter much?

I'm trying to get a picture of it's network strength, regarding my post above. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260031.msg4226452#msg4226452

Thx,

I had QRK since 23rd November. The lucky return I got (>30000%) is far beyond anything that could come in the future (in my eyes).

On top of that I could now buy double the amount of QRK of the Dec.14 sale with the BTC gained -- if I wanted to.

Anyhow as I said, good luck, have fun! I don't hate on Quark and its holders. I am personally out due to different factors.

No offense, be well! hope QRK as well

another 7k skc available. open offer or pm.

sold 7k skc at 0.20 btc, to majormax. 

we'd have to discuss that.

For joining with others.

Here is what i see, I've had four guys ask me to take over their coins, 2 of them are like NRB in that they have their good days.
Users are tired of switching form one coin to the other trying to mine the most profitable. So if we pick out 9 abandoned scrypt coins that are traded and create a block that import all their balance up to a certain block number, allocate a given % of overall supply to each coin....we would have united 10 TRADED coins into one. meaning users need only mine one coin.

This will be optional and attempting to game it by transferring coins after the genesis is built will be pointless. Users can choose to join or continue mining seperately, but once you join, it's a commitment.

The benefits are if a lot of users join, we can have a pretty powerful userbase. By using current exchange rates of the coin we can ensure fair import into the new chain, as a result we can essentially raise the number of coins to become ALL scrypt coins.

A coin of coins.


Introduction of a different algo


Using a new algo means we could possibly make this coin a cpu only coin, which would save us from the advent of the Scrypt ASIC. while others say those are a good thing , i beg to differ, only the guys who got them first with BTC every really made ROI, if it wasnt for the chimese pump, most would have just bought losses.

By ensuring CPU only or CPU and GPU, it stays within range of the average miner. Others complain about botnets and GPU farms, but would you compare their hits versus a ASIC farm?

WTS 110O SKC for 1LTC

1344 SKC  I can pay 1LTC

Yeah, the plan is to get the right people together to seriously research it.

WTS 1344 SKC, Make me an offer.

It's a question of fundamentals really, what make a coin a winning coin is their very essential. Here's my own analysis:

1. BTC — Total innovation. First mover advantage. Deflationary. No secrets here.
2. LTC — Faster processing times and faster confirmations than Bitcoin. It will work when BTC transactions are too slow. Deflationary.
3. PPC — New algorithm that removed the 51% attack flaw that risks the entire BTC and LTC economy. Deflationary.
4. NMC — Proposes of a new decentralised DNS System. Potential of recreating the entire internet. Deflationary.
5. QRK — Security innovation: 9 hashing algorithms, 3 random. Blazing fast confirmations. Inflationary, 0.5% per year.

It's worth to mention that the inflationary character of QRK makes this a very unique coin in comparison to all above. QRK have not only solved the problem of previous coins but also innovated from the economics point-of-view, as it will allows it to be more naturally adopted as currency, while others coins work more like securities.

In my own opinion, QRK has positioned itself with a set of variables that makes the best crypt currency ever, even better than Bitcoin. The community working behind the coin is huge and when all of the work starts to flourish... Well, don't trust me, do your own investigation and maybe you'll reach the same conclusion.

All the above coins have strong community support, and either you believe it or not, that is the proof of the pudding. Think from the perspective of human labour alone, the amount of man hours that have been put into all of this coins is more than enough to justify their values. Now, with that said, what about other coins?

That's simple, those coins are going to thrive as long as they have a community working around it. When the people is gone, their value goes to zero.

I heard that BTC38 servers would not be able to manage Quark's volume, so they decided to wait and upgrade the servers and add 2 lesser coins instead for now...
