Looks like the network hashrate is starting to climb on probe.  Cool looking wallet.  Needs a better taskbar icon.  Wonder how hard it is to set up a p2pool, maybe I'll try.

There's certainly a lot more effort and activity going on around MINT than a lot of the countless other mindless coins...  hoping its a solid long term play.

It will pick up as word gets out :-)

If we can get a block explorer going, then maybe we can get on some exchanges and get on coinmarketcap   I might take a stab at trying to get one going with Abe but its kinda fussy and I haven't successfully gotten one going yet.

The latest Antimatter 0.8.9.9 wallet is working great for me, I got a block solo mining and got 1.5 Antimatter.  I'm not sure what issue majorminers may be having, but the block reward problem is solved.  Somebody out there with a particular address is getting a lot of blocks, maybe they got a super rig pointed at the network?

The code in github looked to me to be a pretty simple implementation.  Have you done any scalability or other testing on it?  If you manage to get some decent volume out of the gate - which is quite possible given the demand and the state of other exchanges right now - do you have a plan to scale it and keep the wheels on the bus without going underwater for awhile like what the cryptsy folks are dealing with?  Are you going to have an API for bots?  What kind of load might that represent?  Trade execution times?  Queues? Transactions?  Rollback?  What if the site crashes?  How will you reconcile the trade activity, what if not all of your queries succeed, are you going to wait for support tickets and do it manually, but then what if you have 4000 support tickets and you don't have enough data to reconstruct the market state and replay transactions?, error handling, etc. etc. etc.

DOGE will surpass the QRK.  Many 4x (4 TIMES) the DISTRIBUTION of QRK... and its all about the distribution right?  I mean that's what you guys said.  If its that good for QRK, that means its gonna be 4 times more awesomer for the shibe doges!

The great Shibe doge has 4x the DISTRIBUTION and will pick up way more media coverage (Leno so wow, Keiser not A-list)

big market cap        many coin       so better

very bigtime                  many press

                   so wow

The one thing Quark has going for it is that the community seems to really be rallying behind it.  Hopefully that is sustainable.

One thing I was wondering about is how the math works for the 247million mined coins + 1% inflation.  The max coins in the code is set to 500,000,000.  Is the inflation based on the halving of the reward and the other parameters, so that it just works out that way?  How was the max coins of 500M determined?

...as skeptical as I am, I do have some QRK because who knows

edit:By community I mean the quark community, not the community at large...they seem to really have a lot of "true believers" - a little concerning on the flip side because it also seems like a fair number of non-technical/non-savvy investors plopped a bunch of money into it.

very dig       many hashes        such slow
      wow

Thanks boss!

Isn't he basically like a paid penny stock promoter for Quark, sitting on a pile of coins to sell into the next pump?  I mean, I'm cpu mining some...slowly...to trade off if the pump works and the price spikes.  But I'm unsure if even that will work because I would guess the line of sell orders is going to be huge.  Or I guess you can dump them on ebay. 

I'm kinda hoping SecureCoin can step up and fill the void without the "ick".  SRC's been kinda quiet.

You could code one but then you have to track changes for all of the client wallets that you want to support.  The other way is to build a pluggable wallet framework and leave it up to folks to write a plug-in to support their alt-coin.  Have a generic client that queries a repository for new alt-coin plugins that the user can pick from - but then you're trusting someone elses binaries.  I like the idea though.  Like the Pidgin of crypto-coin wallets.

I was looking into the same thing and settled on two for now.  I started CPU mining SecureCoin as it's similar to Quark.  I joined a pool, and was getting 800kh/s with a 6-core Athlon 1090T at 3.2Ghz... I made about 1.5 coins overnight.  That didn't seem like a whole lot, so I switched to GPU mining StableCoin now, also on a pool.  I've been mining it for 3 hours and have made 1 coin.  I have a Radeon 6850, its doing ~140kh/s at 82 degrees.  Hotter than I'd like, but it seems stable.  When I tried pushing up the intensity I got better kh/s but the temp skyrocketed.  I'm kinda split between whether to mine StableCoin or SecureCoin or if there's something better to mine. 

I know I could mine both at the same time but I don't want to fry the machine, I'm mining for fun and learning how all this stuff works.
