Will be interesting to see the value of DOGE in April, when all the coins will be mined (the coin is already 38% mined after only a few months...).
You have to ask yourself why, if the most successful and second most successful crypto coins both have long term mining schedules, almost every single altcoin has a very short mining schedule. I doubt it is because they are trying to be successful. To do that you take what already works and build on it.

For the currency to actually function as a currency you need the widest adoption possible. A long mining cycle does this. It also secures the network for a long time so that by the time the coin production tapers down to almost nothing there will be enough fees to pay the miner s to keep mining.
A 6 month cycle leaves almost no time for adoption. In quarks case it was even worse because it flew under the radar for so long by the time the price surged it had been almost mined out. Benefiting a few.
Despite Quarks unique hashing algorithms if some other very profitable to mine CPU coins come out and hashing shifts away, it could leave Quark more susceptible to a 51% attack.
