I set up a money order transfer 2 weeks ago and it has not been mailed....

The $10 fee to pay for the Money Order is just sitting there in my account.

I've been LVL 2 for about 2 months but never tried to take any money out till now.

Well I have no plans for the prize money other then getting the logo printed on t-shirts then selling them for quark.

I had just linked the info but it seems people are just posting here so I've edited this to just put it here

For the quark logo contest we have been asked to start a thread that explains how we arrived at our design decision so here goes

Of course the first thing I did was research what exactly a quark was and learned that there are six types of quarks, known as flavors: up, down, strange, charm, bottom, and top.  Up, down, strange being the standard 3.

Searching thru images of these I came up with these images as a good reference point







The Reuleaux triangle shape seemed to be very much part of the quark identification along with the already popular visualization of quark structure of proton which is at the center of the current logo.

I made a rough out image that incorporated these ideas.



After that I looked into how to add the colors associated with quarks which I put onto a mock up t-shirt
I wanted the image to have a simplicity that scaled well when made small and still distinguishable as a smartphone icon.



The image carries the 3 basic quark colors in a concise way.

I also decided to try a colorization that conveyed all 6 quark component colors



and finally I have a physical coin representation that I did.



So I'm not sure if any of these ideas will be used by the quark programmers but I am very happy with what I came up with as a possible re-branded logo.

Have I missed the voting thread?

FlipPro was online for a bit yesterday but I don't see a new thread by him? Did it get put into a stick by a moderator in a thread I can't find?

Then how did we get so many entries lol

Hey FlipPro have you contacted an admin to see if they can sticky the voting thread while voting goes on?

Have you decided what time on Friday it begins and how long it will last?

I'm guessing that there will be some sort of entry display for the logos. I'm sure we all feel we need exposure to insure our designs get seen. I'm just curious if the images will be part of the voting thread or if it will be an external link.

The was some confusion on another forum as to whether my logo embodied "9 rounds of hashing from 6 hashing functions."

I created this quick colourization to show that it in fact has 9 fields that can be colourized to meet whatever need.

thanks i'm glad you like it.

voting is in one week so come back and take a look at the entrients and place a vote

This section of the forum moves so fast that posts can be on the third page within an hour.

Would a bitcointalk admin be willing to sticky the vote for 24 hours during voting 2 Fridays from now?

Sure would help to get as many opinions as possible.

I did some polish on my concept.




The contest host has moved the contest over to QuarkTalk but that site seems to be having troubles

Not a lot of time to create a 3D render of this but here is my submission:

Ya but the youtube guy has been told the truth and just ignores it.

The Cliff High guy has a big following and even predicted that a UFO would be seen on the Max Kiser show.. and it happened. So people tend to listen to him.

He does this web bot report that has some accuracy but when ever he speaks from his own head and not his web algo stuff his info is shit... He has such an angry Nancy boy personality it's hard to listen to him lol

What is going on with Quarkcoin?

The most promising of the AltCoins IMHO is getting outright lies put out into the www and the only question is why?

Why are people taking the time to utter so many lies about it?

These people claim to have researched Quark and then report how awful it is.

The problem is that their “Facts” that they list as to why it's so awful are all incorrect. These “facts” they are reporting include:

Quark is not p2p, there is no Quark pool mining, there is no Quark blochchain, Quark creates 140 Million (plus) new coins per year and Quark is about 1 cent usd per Quark (when that was told it was over 20 cents usd.)

They are also disparaging people who promote it with half/observations like "just look at their faces." Wow...Just wow!

So how can these people with such followings based on their tireless research be so wrong?

The information is so easy to come by I can only think they are outright lying for what reason I don't know?

Yep, all friends here

okay I got it thx

Could you be very specific please...

What did you type into which fields?

Will do, thanks.

It's a serious issue as I've tried lots of getwork pools and the blades don't work on any of them.

I wanted it to use Eligius so I used (Dogies suggestion): mining_proxy.py -o mining.eligius.st -p 3334 -cu 1yourSweetCoinsComeToThisAddress -cp x

Not only did it not work the terminal ignored that and was trying to connect to Slushs pool.

I ended up just doing: mining_proxy.py which had the slushs stuff already going and the blades synced up right away.

It looks like the proxy.py has been nurfed to just use slushes pool. I d/l'd two days ago for the slushes pool site and it's not .tar anymore but .zip. Still linux of course.. well py anyway.

I have them running now even though slushs pool is not awarding me anything.

Beyond that this is ridiculous. I had been using getwork just fine for months.. I obviously know how to do that but the blades just won't do it.

v2 blades btw.

My Blades (2 of them) stopped working 2 days ago and I have no idea why.

On the Config screen I have no "x"'s and it's been great until now.

My whole system is on a UPS system even the cooling so I know it's never gotten hot and I'm stuck on why this has happened.

I've been using them with getwork which I keep seeing people trash but that is why I bought them and the rest of my equipment is utilized anyway.

I had an issue a week or so ago due to eligius going down and me scrambling to get the blades on any getwork system. eventually I got it back on eligius and it had been fine until 2 days ago.

I now have to divert a cpu and finally got them working but only using proxy on Slushs pool and that was 2 days ago (would not work on my preferred pool or the 2 others I tried).. I just found out that after initially reporting my blades as generating shares slushes pool though accepting hashes from me the whole time is not reporting them as credit to me and though my Blades are working fine right now Slushes pool says 0/mh. They were reporting fine when I final got them running 2 days ago and it looks like within 2 or 3 hours the pool just started not noticing that my workers have been doing their work.

checking on my workers on eligius is a great process on slushes pool its a nightmare just logging in.

I'm at my wits end with these Blades... They only work on 1 pool now and that pool in my mind is just horrible.

Right now I can put them to hash on a getwork pool and they do nothing..I put them back to mine proxy on Slushes pool and they are hashing away... but are not showing up on slushes pool at all.

Resetting my proxy terminal might get slushes pool to recognize but this is the reason I left that pool to begin with.

The proxy for what ever reason will not accept my doing stratum on another pool it just ignores my "-"flags. I have no choice in the matter.

WTF do I do?



Oh and also they hashed @ 10-11/mh on getwork and now 8/mh with proxy so boooo to you getwork haters...
