The 0.10.7.0 upgrade has been reverted.

Everybody is recommended to use the old 0.10.6.3 versions.

This might require re-syncing or re-indexing your wallet.

https://github.com/quark-project/quark/releases/tag/v0.10.6.3

Quark 0.10.6.3

- Enables staking by default

Downloads:

https://github.com/quark-project/quark/releases/tag/v0.10.6.3

To stake your coins your wallet will need to be synced and unlocked. Coins need to be at least 30 days old to stake. Note it can take a while to stake (days in some cases). The older the coins and the larger the amount the more likely it is to stake.
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [QRK] Quark | 0.10.6.2 - New Self Moderated Thread on: November 27, 2017, 03:57:36 PM
There are currently issues with POS minting on mainnet. Although we tested extensively on testnet, unfortunately issues were only found when activated on mainnet. We are investigating these issues.

In the mean time it is recommended to run 0.10.6.1 with staking disabled (using the staking=0 option), or to download 0.10.6.2.

Quark 0.10.6.2

- Disables POS minting by default
- Disconnects pre-fork peers

Downloads:

https://github.com/quark-project/quark/releases/tag/v0.10.6.2

Quark v0.10.6.1 - POS/POW hybrid for Quark

https://github.com/quark-project/quark/releases/tag/v0.10.6.1

POS parameters:
- 3.5% pa POS interest
- 30 days minimum stake age
- Activates block 4937000 (est 25 Nov 2017)

POS staking is enbled by default. To prevent staking use -reservebalance=x (where x is amount to reserve for non-staking) or -staking=0 parameter.

Upgrade notes:
- Backup your Quark data directory before upgrading (in particular your wallet.dat)
- A database reindex is required the first time Quark 0.10.6 is run on an old installation, e.g.
   run qt with:  quark-qt -reindex
   run daemon with: quarkd -reindex --daemon
   or click OK on the prompt to rebuild database.
   Note: This can take a few hours.

Downloading the bootstrap has some risks involved:

1. The source needs to be trusted to not provide a bogus blockchain
2. The blocks are not fully verified by your node

If you care more about speed of your download than security of the blockchain, then the bootstap is your answer.

Hello everyone - below is a compiled beta of the upcoming POW/POS hybrid release of Quark for use on testnet. If anyone wants to try it out, the link is below.

https://github.com/quark-project/quark/releases/tag/v0.10.5.0-beta

Testnet rules:

POW active from block 1
POW reward starts at 2048 QRK and drops to 1 QRK at block 250
POS starts at block 120
Minimum stake age is 1 hour
POS reward is 4%

To run a testnet, run wallets on multiple machines and start e.g.
quark-qt -testnet=1 -connect=ip_node1 -connect=ip_node2

Block versions

Some pools are signalling incorrect block versions, causing a warning in nodes to upgrade:

https://github.com/quark-project/quark/issues/2

Can all pool operators please ensure that their pools are generating version 113 blocks.

It appears a NOMP pool is also using BIP 9 version bits, e.g.

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/qrk/block.dws?0000000028d0a21896db7ccd096c462777c30124ee3fc5c6bddaecdd6bef366c

Other pools signalling version 112 is in danger of being cut off from the network.

Quark 0.10.4.4

Recommended upgrade

Changes:

* Improved syncing
* Update checkpoints

https://github.com/quark-project/quark/releases/tag/v0.10.4.4

Due to the split between 0.9 and 0.10 there was a period of instability, but difficulty has now recovered to near pre-fork levels.

Hopefully we'll have some new pools soon.

Quark 0.10.4.3

https://github.com/quark-project/quark/releases/tag/v0.10.4.3

Important notice

For Quark 0.9 users this is a required upgrade.

Changes in this release

* Adds checkpoints on contentious blocks
* Disconnect from older 0.9 peers
* Turn default for automatic mining to "off" in the QT wallet.
* Fix difficulty value displayed for rpc commands


All working good!

Actually, there is still a problem(?).
Some mined coins not added to the wallet (I post just a few)...

2017-04-21 10:15:28 proof-of-work found 
  hash: 00000011222f62deb2a7c9e2ee2558c5da73e862706e06ae86ced2438266cc77 
target: 0000005ae9400000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000


Difficulty dropped for a while on the 0.10 chain, it might have been orphaned by a bigger chain. Difficulty is now rising again on the 0.10 chain so things should get stabler.

Anyone still mining on 0.9, please upgrade to 0.10.

I have upgraded the wallets (v0.10.4.2 64 bit).  
I have just noticed that I have found a block from the pop out window. However, the available and pending balance are still 0!
Any reason?

I haven't seen this myself. Make sure the blockchain is downloaded before starting mining. Maybe you can post an extract from your debug.log when this happens again.


The blockchain is up-to-date.
Extract from debug.log attached.

Sorry if it is a wall, I can edit

2017-04-20 17:21:46 Running QuarkMiner with 1 transactions in block (182 bytes)

2017-04-20 17:22:34 Running QuarkMiner with 1 transactions in block (182 bytes)

Nothing in the log extract to indicate that it found a block. It will log "proof-of-work found" if it found a block. I will try to see if I can get the same to happen, on which OS are you running?


Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.

This is what I have found earlier. Wallet balance = 0


Looks like you were mining on an invalid chain. Sometimes when the wallet says its synchronized it still needs a few minutes to get in sync. I'll see if I can find the source of this issue.

Instead, I cannot mine on my other PC. Error message:

2017-04-20 21:26:50 Error in QuarkMiner: Keypool ran out, please call keypoolrefill before restarting the mining thread

OS: Windows 10 Home

How can I solve this issue?
Thanks

Is your wallet locked? Try mining with the wallet unlocked and/or try using the "keypoolrefill" command in your debug window.

Important notice

Since a few hours ago the blockchain on 0.9 nodes have diverged from 0.10 nodes. This is probably due to some subtle consensus difference between the two versions.

The 0.10 wallet is on the chain with higher difficulty, and is also the version used by exchanges, so if you are still on a 0.9 wallet, it is now required to upgrade to a 0.10 wallet ASAP to avoid issues.

A new wallet 0.10.4.3 will be released with new checkpoints and it will disconnect 0.9 peers.
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [QRK] Quark | Core 0.10 upgrade on: April 15, 2017, 11:31:17 AM
A reminder for everyone to upgrade to Quark 0.10.

Looking at network statistics on cryptoid, there are very few upgraded nodes.

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/qrk/#!network

/Satoshi:0.9.2.7/   70002   20   55.6 %   55.6 %
/Satoshi:0.9.2.6/   70002   7   19.4 %   75.0 %
/Satoshi:0.9.2.4/   70002   3   8.3 %   83.3 %
/Satoshi:0.9.2.5/   70002   2   5.6 %   94.4 %

/Satoshi:0.10.4.2/70003   1   2.8 %   97.2 %

Future changes to Quark will require the majority of the network to upgrade, so please help spread the word.

Quark 0.10.4.2

Note: Required upgrade for miners only, other wallets must be 0.10.4.1 or later
