is this a pump and dump?
I think so there hasn't been a news to cause a bullish rally, but hey crypto is crazy |

So who is in favour of PoB. From what i've read from cryptohunters posts and quarkfx it looks promising, at least from an active devs perspective. Also it won't be a scam like all these new coins coming out so it may attract people if announced solidly.

Netnox thats why i posted that active members would get an exchange after fork up to xxxxxx coins which would be max 999999 coins and i guess it would fit for you.You are a legit buyer who activly supported quark.
But please also understand that if there wont be any major changes quark will go soon down to nothing
Well i'm up for new ideas if it benefits the coin itself and investors. |

Hi guys,
i am a top 29 quark holder with almost 1m quarks. I invested around $10k in Litecoin when they were around $2. I had around 6000 Litecoin which i sold all at between $24 and $26 each making $150k and exchanged them to BTC.
Before Quark i have been active in BTC-e and thats where i found out about Quark. Everyone was talking about it. I researched a little and was convinced to go big on it. I loved the brand, the logo, and the fact that pretty well known people in the industry were talking about it.
I don't know if you guys remember that picture at the forums someone posted which stated that there was a 100 BTC buy order for quark, well that was my order. I bought 500k quark at 0.00019 which made the price shoot up to 0.00032. So greed got me and i started to hold but then Bitcoin crashed and quark went with it. After that it went worse and 2 things that bothered me was kolins behaviour and developers inactivity at the time, but somehow i kept my fate and bought another 500k at lower prices.
So as you see i have lost around $140k (if i would sell) on quark, would i have been in Bitcoin i would have lost $50k. Meanwhile i have been giving around 40k quark to different projects like thunderclap where i gave away around 25k quark and apart from that i have been customising Quark subreddit to make it look nice. Notice that i'm just a trader and have no skills in coding and such so it's the best i can do. You might wonder why i don't give away much more, well the answer is simple i have already lost a lot and i'm certainly not rich in my private life. Although i still have fate in it and refuse to sell at these prices.
Regarding proof of burn i must say it sound pretty interesting, but doubts are naturally showing because it will be a new coin and will it be attractive amongst all these new coins, although with all these new scam coins coming out if one of them is not a scam with active and trustful dev team it will attract people. On the other hand quark already has settled itself and pretty well known, but then again as we know there are some issues with quark. I must say that i have seen great core members like quarkfx, vic, coinmama and couple others.

Let's start with building the foundation now then so it is transparent and we all know who form the leadership here. I have seen names mentioned in relation to the current qrk foundation who i have never heard of. I mean let's get everyone out in the open and have some transparency of leadership which will lead to more confidence in the future of qrk. Can someone create a list of qrk inner circle members here. Vic Coinmama QuarkFX  ? who else. See this list for the core members http://quarktalk.org/index.php?members/&type=staff quarkfx is there and coinmama as well and Vic should be there as well, also you should sign up. |

Ok I understand, its really doing alot of harm to Quark from that perspective, but if people don't want to get involved in Quark because of Kolin, then they shouldn't get involved in any other coin which has users with this nefarious status. Those people will never understand how a decentralized system works and all that Kolin is doing is just talking talking he has no power over Quark. I mean why should people blame Bitcoin for Karpeles scandal ?? Karpeles has done ALOT MORE shit and negative press for Bitcoin than Kolin has, so why would people LEAVE BITCOIN ?? just because Karpeles is using Bitcoin and proposing stupid ideas on twitter..
Bitcoin has many representers and has a bigger network, also karpeles screw up really did it's blow to the Bitcoin price as well as the community. He was also removed from the Bitcoin foundation. |

If you take Counterparty's version of proof of burn then it wouldn't require an Quark hardfork
Which prominent Proof of Burn concept uses hard forks? None. XCP is linked with Bitcoin, they haven't "started from scratch", thats why they didn't needed for Bitcoin to hardfork to accommodate their BTC burn into XCP, hence if you want to use their version of PoB you'd basically have to rely on Quark network to verify the owner of the QRK burned funds. However if you want to create an independent coin("start from scratch") like I understood from this: feasible way for Quarkers to translate their share to another project where the community can start from scratch
then you would need to hardfork Quark in order to legitimately burn it so you can get XCOIN. It depends on what you to do but yes its easier to just fork XCP. Either way, you'd have to promote and sell this new coin to give it value in the market so the question is on what ? what would this new coin offer in return ? what are the features ? (XPC `sold` their idea with p2p market tools, exchanges, other useful financial concepts), So why wouldn't we do this promotion for Quark which already has important features as a currency instead of building a new coin which would give some investment funds however you couldn't use them in real life as the coin on which the investment funds are based on will not be worth anything in the market. I already outlined the possible innovations, won't repeat it the 10th time.
Sorry will take a look in the last few pages, must have miss them.. No...this is technically on top of Quark like CP, it doesn't need a hard fork. It would also make no sense to do it differently im this case which why I pointed out the irony that you were complaining about people with a lack of understanding. Yeah, maybe you missed the idea. This is/was an (emergency) plan how we could solve the hashrate issue if the developer is not responding. Unlike simply forking Quark this would allow raising funds to work on the future of the currency. Quark may have good specs but still 1. A hashrate issue 2. Other coins have good specs at well and 2. As you pointed out on your own: the currency is worth nothing without the community. So I prefer another and presumeably better coin if the alternative is losing the community. Btw. I don't see why people should blame Kolin for the current state (especially those who are not even part of the community anymore). As I expressed on Reddit I have serious problems with the recent proceedings but Quark has problems apart from individual behaviour. Kolin made quark look bad 6 months ago where he as the face of quark did an awful job to stay professional. Some valuable members who wanted to build the coin left because of him engaging a lot in flaming, trolling and wanting to have the last word on how quark should move on like we have seen also recently with his mimic coin and the other Thread where he started to accuse other coins of being a scam. If you noticed all these guys who left have critics about him and even some core members and i believe some people don't want to get involved with quark just because of kolin. Also on Reddit he is constantly spamming unrelated quark topics which i have to remove to keep things organised. |

Just close new announcements Topics from now on at this section. Make a new sticky Topic to discuss possible solution until there is one

Exactly, Quark network is not susceptible to such attacks, we could have 1 PC mining and if the attack occurs we revert back to the last checkpoint and so on. We need hashrate power but its not relevant at this point, what we need more is community involvement not spreading FUD and creation of merge coins etc. We need protocol to improve and we are creating a structure in which we welcome core supporters of Quark to become foundation members with a small yearly involvement from which the dev team will take a large portion, while the rest will go for Quark related projects.
What are the dangers in reverting to the last checkpoint? i know in quarks case the worst someone could do is roll back 12 blocks and with each block generating 1 quark that means 12 quarks. So can the attacker achieve anything and does it have an influence on transactions? |

Let's make Bitcoin ATMs more accessible and low cost. Right now an ATM costs over $500 to purchase, making it an impractical business investment. Here at BitSell, we're trying to change this. Our ATMs cost $150 a piece, and support multiple currencies. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/bitsell |

The new forum is going to be awesome  Hopefully thatīs also the case for the renewed Foundation. Renewed, members wise you mean? No, but we need a structure in my opinion to enhance decision taking by making it more transparent and democratical. We try to prepare the new forum, so this can be done all from within the forum and I hope others will get along with these ideas. Right i certainly agree with you |
