Be more careful then, this is not a game, it's the cryptojungle.
I understand that you want to get into the people's heads to understand where the lemmings are going. So you can prepare and do the opposite.
But how are you going to ask EVERY SINGLE participant of QRK???

Great, tell me, in what code file are the pointers to the seed nodes located?
I assume the IPs of those seed nodes are hardcoded into the code?

The challenges would be mostly of legal nature.
Don't expect to start such a payment processor company without having atleast three lawyers who know the financial implications of bank and money regulations, on a global scale of course.

The IT-part is easy compared to that.

You plan to understand "most people"?

What, is this your dayjob?

I think there are already a few thousand people heavily invested in QRK, and soon many more.

Good luck understanding "most of them". :-)

Try it. I only use my own hardware, so I can't say. :-)
But I do some webhosting, hence my answer.

Eventually. Like webhosters, their businessplan is not really based on every customer using 100% of the CPU. They would not make any profit, or would have to rise the prices a tenfold.
Much like webhosters who share many hundreds of 100 gb userslots on only a 3 Terabyte server, because almost all users are NOT going to use the full 100 Gbyte although they have signed up for it.

In this effect, you are at the moment VERY EXPENSIVE for amazon. And they will do something against it, sooner or later.
A new clause in the contract or something... wait for it.

Terrible.
why those persistant synchronization problems? How can we fix this?
I already have two daemons running on my two linux servers... and I see about 120 users connected to each one of them.

People should leave their wallets open.

How the hell were you able to mine so many coins in this short time???

Well, if your wallet was not completely synced , you did in fact "time travel" and mined as if you were in july 2013 or something...

That shouldn't have happend.

When your wallet eventually synchronized with the network your wallet showed 0, which is correct, because those 2096 are invalid.

You should only wallet-mine after your wallet is fully synced.

Good, let's ride this horse to the moon...

Good.

Let those Quarkcoins leave the weak hands and come over to our strong hands.

Don't get discouraged people. It is clear there are some early adopters with millions of QRK, who
are only looking for fast cash NOW.

Hope the new guys who bought those QRKs will be patient.

Patience is key. QRK is promising.

they want to punish us, because our blockexplorers weren't working for a few hours..

Teaching us a lesson, etc... ;-)

Yes, but we can help its success and make its way to the moon easier,
or we can make it harder.

You choose.

QRK has a giant todo-list.

I myself am working on a project to help QRK (and other currencies), I will post here once it's finished... ;-)

You may be right... but at the moment, I really try to focus on ONE forum only, otherwise I'll not be able to concentrate.
If you guys discuss something important over there, please ALWAYS post it here too.

You have to be heard.

true, but atleast the logo has character.
Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater, QRK will have a bright future. :-)

As long as we learn from the mistakes... and do it better next time.

yep, or they haven't understood how serious the situation has got...

It's not a game anymore... 

I have a question about how the price is calculated on this page.

Is it simply a cross between all available exchange prices for the particular currency pair,
or is it also based on how much VOLUME an exchange contributes?

Thanks for enlightening me.

sorry, of course...

Here I marked it with red colors where something is either missing or wrong:

Specifications

Block invervel - Every 30 seconds a new block is generated.

Confirmation time - A transaction is confirmed in 3 minutes after the block in which the transaction is recorded is under 6 blocks.

Issuing Intervel - In the first 6 months, 247 million QRK will be mined; after that around 1 Million quarks will be mined in a year. This has been done to sustain mining activity and keep the block chain resistant against 51% attacks to which Bitcoin is vulnerable.

Difficulty - Every 20 blocks (10 minutes) difficulty is retargeted. Difficulty can increase by 10% at most and down by 50% at best.
Software

Wallets have been released for Windows and Unix systems (includes BSD, Linux and Mac). Both daemon based wallets and GUI (QT) wallets are available.

The wallet is itself is capable of mining blocks, but cpuminer has also been modified to work with the algorithm Quark uses.

There has been an OpenCL based miner available, but it's credibility is nowt known as of now.
Exchange

The following exchanges are available to buy and sell Quarks for Bitcoins

Cryptsy - Since July 26, 2013. [2]

Bter - Since November 29, 2013 [3]

Coins-e - Since July 22, 2013 [4]

btc38.com has plans to introduce Quark in it's trading system [5]
Adoptation

Quark has seen sudden increase in prices (value in Bitcoins) since November 27th 2013. Since then, it's prices were up almost 3000% till November 1st 2013 in the Cryptsy exchange. Other exchanges follow a similar trend.

Currently, in terms of market capital, Quark is in the top 10 Cryptocurrencies.

Difficulty to mine has also increased exponentially since late November 2013.
Press

Quark was referenced in The Guardian website as one of the top cryptocurrencies which can be seen as an alternative to Bitcoin in he future. [6]

Great, when was this created?

Has some typos in it though... :-)

I think with this explorer QRK should be reinstated in the marketcap-list?

I will provide additional blockexplorer shorty...

Thank you for reacting so fast. You did the right thing. Better for it to not appear at all, than to show a wrong price.
