Is there an ASCII symbol for this logo?

This may sound like a silly question, but how easy is to create a new type-able symbol like BTC? Does anyone here know how to do that?

EDIT: How silly of me, should have google-it first. I just found this: http://bit.ly/o3YXq

A confirmation to the deadline is most welcome. If possible, append to the thread title.

You know, it looks WAY TO MUCH like the Ripple logo, and that sucks.

I think there's a better way, something more like Bitcoin and Litecoin. Something as simple as that, would make people look at Quarkcoin, and compare it with Bitcoin, not Ripple. Subconsciously, investors would choose something they already believe it's good.

I'm working on a solution, but not sure if I'll have the time to finish before the deadline. An extension to the deadline is most welcome.

The issue with the current logo is that will not reduce appropriately, and any other fancy alternative will have the same problem. Keep it simple guys, think Bitcoin, think Litecoin. See what is already working, then explore concepts on how to bring that to Quarkcoin. That is the recipe for success.

I must say that achieving that sort of simplicity is not easy, I know, I do that for a living, but is essential to get Quarkcoins mainstream. It's all about making the QRK brand easy to digest, and obviously, using good design to add value to the project.

If the project doesn't receive any submission of a high standard, we should consider extending the date a bit further, and even raising the bounty to attract more professional entries. Don't underestimate the power of design.

I'll put some time into this myself, but I would also love to see other people's submissions too.

Should the project change name? NO, NO WAY, don't do that, that would be a HUGE mistake.

Quark is a BRILLIANT name for a crypto currency, and here is WHY:

1. It is immediately recognisable by geeks. Both, physicists and treekies! (That is a way to differentiate in the midst of so many randomly named coins)

2. In the physicist world, a quark is a elementary particle. Metaphorically, we could say there's no crypto currencies without QRKs. Quarks are essential to have.

3. Also, quarks are the only elementary particle in the Standard Model to experience all four fundamental interactions. Metaphorically: +, -, *, and /.

4. It has a meaning directly related to currency. It's the name of a character that has ACCUMULATION OF PROFIT as a life purpose. That in my own opinion is the most amazing reason to stick with it. It's a subconscious reminder, for investors, that this is a good coin for profits. I love this one.

3. Finally. What about the hassle and disturbance and surely depreciation that will follow with a name change? Why do that with such an AWESOME name?

Just in case you want to know my credentials. I'm a logo designer and branding is my field of expertise, and the above is my professional opinion.

Really, you have a winner name here. All it needs to grow is to keep up the good work and a growing community rallying behind it.

Please, feel free to ask anything, I will be more than glad to answer.

Invalid address, per definition, are invalid, so the transaction would not complete. Now, if you mistakenly send them to a valid address, then yes, they are lost and you'll make someone very happy indeed.

Buying? She masterminded the whole damn thing!

I'm working on raising capital to build the site, and for that reason I haven't specified how many Bitcoins I'll give away yet, but surely something that makes sense!

Consider this: once the website is up and running I'll have to spend some money with marketing anyway, so I figure it would be better to spend by giving some Bitcoins than anything else really. But since Coinners is still in a very early age I thought it would be nice to give the people of the forum the heads up and let them be the first to know when the give away actually happens.

Oh, and no, Coinners will not be a website to buy and sell coins, rather a marketplace for the exchange of products and services for virtual coins.

Wow! Amazing tool, the best data any trader could get about Bitcoins! Many many thanks for that. MtGox is planning to trade LTC and NMC soon, should we expect you'll expand to those crypto-currencies as well, because that would be fantastic. Once again, thanks for taking the time to put this together!

The lag over MtGox is nearing the point of becoming the first exchange that puts people off trading on it, something needs to be done about that asap.

Subscribe to our mailing at http://coinners.com and be the first to know how to do that when we launch our site.

Hi guys, I'm looking to connect with developers to start a crypto-currency related project.

I'm a marketing professional specialized in branding. I come from an IT background so I have a good understanding of many technologies. I own and maintain a few websites and blogs where I make use of my coding skills, so expect me to be as much geeky as you are, but with the added benefit of understanding how marketing works. You can find a lot of info about me over the web, as I'm quite active on a wide range of websites, forums and social media. If you are curious, this is a good place to start.

I've set up a holding page for the project I'm looking to build here, and while it suggests some sort of virtual currency marketplace I'm open to other ideas.

If you are interested in exploring an interesting opportunity, and you are a competent and serious developer, please send me a PM. I would like to hear from you.

Vircurex is working right now to fix the current problem guys: https://twitter.com/Vircurex/status/320220248513064961

Thanks for the note, link fixed!

If you are coming here to learn more about Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies, and especially if you are considering to invest in one, you should consider DevCoin most of all, as is already being traded over Vircurex and compared to other alternative currencies is at its bottom price. This graph below shows how smart money is moving into DevCoins right now...



That's what you would have paid for a BTC back in the beginning of 2009, so you should consider getting yourself some DVC for sure. They are just way to cheap not too get on board.

If you are going to invest in an upcoming coin, you should think of DevCoin most of all, as is already being traded over Vircurex and compared to other alternative currencies has a bottom price. This graph below shows how smart money is moving into the currency as of now...



There's no way you'll lose money getting so early on the boat of a new crypto-currency, visit Vircurex here with my affiliate link, or here without it.

Is there any doubt? Do it now!

Great idea Adam! I'm thinking of starting a Bitcoin-related project myself, so it's always exciting to hear of new projects, and I hope you really get this going, as I will surely be listening to it, wish you all the best.
