Why are people afraid of this? It's obvious that the US government and well any other government does not take action/s from which they won't profit/which will result in a loss.
Doing this would be pretty stupid and pointless.
Governments always do things that result in a loss. There is probably no government that is not in massive debt.

I doubt they'd go to this length. It's probably not the governments that are worried or you need to worry about but the banks instead.
Bitcoin is not taxable. People can hide lots of wealth in bitcoin and any other crypto for that matter. Governments do not like that idea.

its more likely that governments will gain control by quietly buying up all bitcoin. Anonymity makes this the most likely scenario. Bitcoin is on open market. Governments can slowly buy up the supply and nobody will even know. The coins will still exist but will be taken from circulation. Anonymity is probably going to be the demise of bitcoin and any other crypto that stays anonymous.

It's only a matter of weeks before this coin is worth $30 a piece. Rumor has it, Warren Buffet is interested and has been loading up on Quarkbar.
unlikely but the idea gives us something to talk about lol  Cheesy

But in that case, punishment is the reward Wink

POS might be a good solution, but not with the stake based on amount of coins,  but based on a fixed amount of coins for keeping wallet synched. This way people get rewarded a certain amount of coins regardless of their wallet balance.
We call it Proof of Wallet Stake (POWS)
So it would be a sort of 'statutory income' for everyone with a wallet containing a minimum coin balance if I understand that correctly?
Sounds like a great idea if so Smiley

Yes, the amount of coins doesn't matter with the wallet synch anyway and only encourages holding the money. POWS only looks at the amount of time you synch the wallet and rewards even the people with an empty wallet. Smiley

Coin of the people Smiley
sounds good. Rewards are always better than punishments Smiley

I actually voted to keep quarkbar as it is for now.
Innovation in my opinion is the first priority in any space, especially in one as competitive as this.
If the above quoted statement had been posed to either Steve Jobs, Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg you would have you fired on the spot.
well its a good thing I dont work for apple or facebook then. Lol Grin.

I am in marketing, at some point, quarkbar will need to be sold as a viable currency that people use to buy things. It is great to be an innovative coin, yes, but the whole point of a currency is finding a way to use it. I feel that is the next step needed.

Most people want money so they can spend it. In the end, quarkbar will be strong and valuable because people use it as money.

We have almost 70% of the coins mined. This is the perfect time to focus on turning it into money.

I am actually working on an idea that could raise global awareness about quarkbar and possibly gaine some mainsream media attention.

Plus I would be interested in hearing any ideas that anybody else has also. If anyone wants to PM me maybe we can exchange some ideas.

Regarding PoS...I'm not a fan of it
Jonesd said something similar...

Just out of interest Jonesd and Obfuscode, in your professional opinions Wink what feature would you suggest for the coin at this stage?

We're basically looking for a way to have the network continue to support transactions once all coins are mined. POS is a way to do this, but it stimulates people to not spend their coins.

Proof of Take (POT)
I personally was thinking of doing the opposite of POS, where coins deteriorate over time if they are stored and not used. Part of the stored unused coins will be redistributed over the miners in this case. When a wallet has been offline for a long time and comes online again it can be punished with a certain deterioration of funds (1% / week up to maximum of 10% or something). In this scenario, people can also prevent deterioration by synching the wallet at least once a week.

This has the following benefits:
- Transactions can be free: This would make it possible to replace the fee on transactions with a fee on keeping the coins offline.
- Decrease only for not-contributing part: Active people are in the clear, but stored funds will decrease over time.
- No inflation: The coins get redistributed, but the total amount does not have to increase.

I would be more motivated to be part of the network in such a case!

Probably a lot of things to say against it, but idea is still in early stage. Smiley
I personally don't agree with this. Why? First you need to be able to spend your coins on something and If you don't have that will crash the price down. Who really wants to put money in something and 5 days later to be loosing already. We need to think about something else even If its not POS. But destroy coin because I don't have what to buy with, waiting for price to rise or not wanting to spending them is not a good idea. I hope we could find some ways to invent something else.

I did vote for Something Experimental just to be noted!

I have no intend to destroy coins, but partly redistribute them if the wallet rarely gets synched. This enables us to have the benefit that POS offers without creating new coins.

We're into this as a community so I believe this will spur the need for innovation, because it's in all our benefit to use the coins as money.

I believe the value lies in the practical use. Not in just storing it somewhere.
I would have to agree with saintfrantic on this one. Although I agree we are in this as a community we need to make sure we stay a strong community and grow. What we need to be doing is figuring out a way to get global awareness and credibility. I actually voted to keep quarkbar as it is for now. It has very strong charactoristics and now has a super Dev team that can keep things running smooth. To an investor, the idea that if I invest in a coin and then open my wallet one day to find that some of my coins were taken, I would not be a very happy man and would probly get out of that market. Imagine if you opened your bitcoin wallet to find that you lost a bunch, just because you didn't sync your wallet.

Instead, We should start focusing on creating a good use for quarkbar. Turn it into a recognized useful currency.

Lets do something as a community to get people talking about quarkbar.

Quarkbar is a strong coin now. I think its community work that is going to make quarkbar stronger now.

With all the exposer QB has been getting lately, I am thinking that maybe we should keep the original logo.  People are starting to recognize it.  Wink
