Originally I said it wasn't required, but Cryptsy is bending under the load so another exchange would be nice.
BTC38 could get a move on too! We#re number 5 at the moment and they have some far far smaller coins listed. They listed PTS after about 9 minutes!

No, everything has a price for me. I have some BTC and QRK that I will hold until the price is just too good not to sell, but they are all commodities to me that I might well sell.

Price went down, sigh.
Price went back up, woohoo! |

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. |

Had you posted anything that could be seen as controversial?
Otherwise it looks like a standard error.

1) Senate hearing 2 weeks ago: Droves sign up and wait a week for account verification
2) Droves make first purchases, kicking Bitcoin from 850 to 1200 this past week.
3) Droves want to buy more but first purchase is only 10 BTC and they must wait another week for first purchase to clear.
4) Tuesday/Wednesday first purchases clear and droves able to buy more, with higher quantities and instant availability.
Therefore: I have a feeling this week is going to see another big jump.
Ok. Tell that to China. China had nothing to do with the most recent surge past $1,000 here in the USA. Those mass purchases came from Europe and the Americas this time around. China is why we went from 150 to 800 .... I like the fact that the UK national mint are going to mint golden bitcoins. That is getting mainstream! |

Not sure why we are tanking, Bill Still still to go on Kiesler's show, and BTC38 still to add quark.
Like still like the story here, lets hope the market agrees!

No, I actually live in Germany now, but would like to move money into my English account.
I'm from Newcastle though, Heaton.

Wow, it more than doubles over night! and it still isn't on btc38... we might have more to rise!

I want to sell 1.47632249 BTC for 810 pounds per BTC.
I will only accept faster payments in the UK to my HSBC bank account. As I haven't used localbitcoins before, my account is limited, but if that is a problem you could set up a trade that I will use.
I would rather use an escrow, unless your trust is awesome, I can't afford to take chances with so much money.
PM me to work out a trade (or post here if you would rather it all be in public.)

I think we should have some more Chinese support. Make a subpage for the Chinese language and explain everything about Quark, and why its such a good currency. In that way we could maybe get some more Chinese attention, which is a nice thing to have right? Any Quark is welcome here  : QP85yV257LbefB7UJQwbTmwZRohaoNULNS Agreed, are there no native mandarin speakers on bitcointalk that could do it? |

Maybe you should rename the thread, oops I made a mistake so I immediately publicly called out a company as a scam.
Or at least rename it.

Do you think QRK will rise as fast as it did yesterday? Right now, i'm not sure it will.
Maybe when it gets listed on BTC38. It's on the to be added list here: http://www.btc38.com/altcoin/so hopefully we won't have to wait too long! |

Bittylicious is very expensive to buy from. I don't know how stringent they are about sellers selling over 1k a week, but that would be a lot for an average joe.

...then cut it in half to make sure it's not gold-plated tungsten.
Beat me to it. This is why I'd never buy a precious metal, especially gold. How can you ever be sure it's real? Fairly simple XRF + thermal conductivity + resistivity tests will completely guarantee that a bar of gold is what it says on the face. For extra paranoia there's more complex ultrasonic testing. Thanks guys, I was always interested for real when and if one day gold would be needed but there's bitcoin now  If someone is desperate to sell it to you for bitcoin, it is probably real. Gold isn't doing too well at the moment. If they don't care too much, it's probably fake. Gold isn't doing well mostly due to manipulation from the people who derive power from fiat emission and control. Mostly the families that own the banks and the fed. They will probably come for bitcoin soon but manipulation will be much more difficult. They could buy lots of coins creating a spike and then dumping everything recklessly and crashing it, but I am not sure of their success. Gold is much easier to manipulate and discourage. Gold is safe, bitcoin isn't. Its amazing that 1 bitcoin can buy an ounce of gold, but no one can put a fair price estimate on Bitcoin. It's either hundreds of thousands or nothing. Even the crazy Gold bubble looks like a blip next to Bitcoins rise! If bitcoin holders get a bit antsy about the price, they could do much worse than getting into Gold or Silver |

I have no idea with Reddit, but if someone makes a good ad I will donate 150 QRK to them.
(It'll have to be sent this evening, I don't have access to my wallet atm)

Not sure if this has been posted (I couldn't find it if it was), but it is nice for the Alt world as almost everyone gets a mention! http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/nov/28/bitcoin-alternatives-future-currency-investments Bitcoin’s recent meteoric rise in value to over $1,000 has shone the spotlight on alternative currencies, but bitcoin is not the only new digital currency vying for relevancy in 2013. Like bitcoins most of these currencies are mined by computers solving hard mathematical problems. The "coins" do not exist physically, of course, as the currencies are virtual existing only as computer files.
As they are based on peer-to-peer protocols, no one computer controls the currencies, but networks keep track of all transactions made using these digital currencies, but they do not know what the coins were actually used for – just the ID of the computer "wallet" they move from and to.
Here are nine alternatives to think about before putting your time, effort and money into bitcoin.
Litecoin
Like bitcoin, litecoin is another crytography-based digital currency, which has also seen a dramatic rise in value in recent months.
Litecoin, a peer-to-peer opensource digital currency, could be described as an offshoot of bitcoin. In fact, it is based on the bitcoin protocol, but instead of requiring extraordinary computing power to mine effectively, can be mined efficiently using standard computers due to its algorithm originally designed by Dr Colin Percival for the Tarsnap secure online backup service for Linux and other opensource operating systems.
Namecoin
Also based on bitcoin, namecoin is another opensource offshoot. A cryptocurrency, namecoin also acts as a decentralised DNS – the protocol on the internet that turns human-comprehensible website names such as theguardian.com into addresses understandable by machines. By acting as its own DNS, the currency operates outside the regular internet and therefore outside the governance of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Icann).
The currency values and domain names are stored within the blockchain record, which limits the total number of namecoins to 21m, with each coin divisible down to eight decimal places.
Peercoin
Another variant of the bitcoin-like peer-to-peer currency principle, peercoin promises increased efficiency of mining, improved security and safeguards to avoid abuse by group mining, which has recently been highlighted as a potential flaw with bitcoin.
Peercoin has the fourth-largest market cap among “altcoins” as these alternative digital currencies are known, according to CoinMarketCap.com, which tracks emerging and traded currencies.
Primecoin
A cryptocurrency like bitcoin, primecoin differs at its core because it uses a totally separate mathematical basis for mining. Instead of relying on bitcoin’s “Hashcash” algorithm, primecoin finds long Cunningham chains – a certain sequence of prime numbers named after the mathematician AJC Cunningham – to build value into the currency.
Unlike bitcoin, primecoin’s mining difficulty increases slightly with each new coin created, scaling more evenly than bitcoin’s bigger shift in mining difficulty every 2016 blocks.
Feathercoin
Based upon litecoin, feathercoin adjusts its mining difficulty more often than litecoin and was announced in April 2013. Unlike some other digital currencies, feathercoin updates regularly to incorporate new features and enhancements, including protections from abuse and forking by group mining.
Novacoin
Yet another peer-to-peer digital cryptocurrency, Novacoin differs from most of the other altcoins by integrating protection schemes within the core of the currency, which deters abuse by mining groups.
Novacoin also has a technical cap of 2bn coins, a much larger number than most of the other digital currencies which top out in the millions, rather than billions of coins. The cap could also be increased if it was ever reached, giving novacoin a theoretical dynamic inflation.
Infinitecoin
Announced in June 2013, as another litecoin spin-off, infinitecoin differs with more frequent difficulty adjustment rate during mining and the total number of coins that can be created, which is 1142.86 times as many as litecoin.
Megacoin
A bitcoin analogue in its infancy, created within the fourth quarter of 2013, megacoin is limited to 42m total coins and is mined like every other crytocurrency. Each coin worth around $0.50, and its main selling point is its overt branding, something quite a few other digital currencies lack.
Quark coin
Another altcoin in its infancy, launched in 2013, Quark coin takes the security elements of the cryptocurrency very seriously employing nine separate rounds of encryption using six different algorithms.
If those nine bitcoin alternatives weren’t enough for you, there are over 60 different altcoin currencies currently being traded at various exchanges like Cryptsy, including AndroidsTokens, AlphaCoin, AmericanCoin, AnonCoin, Argentum, AsicCoin, BBQCoin, BitCar, ByteCoin, BitGem, BottleCaps, CryptoBuck, CryptogenicBullion, CopperLark, Cosmoscoin, CHNCoin, ColossusCoin, CopperBars, CraftCoin, CasinoCoin ... |

I think energy policy is largely controlled by big oil, that would explain your Hemp, Car and Tesla ideas.
Infinite energy doesn't exist, but we could generate more electricity than we could ever use.
Shame the flying disc part is included, it makes it all sound a bit foil hat like.
