Well, quark coin is very cpu bound and hardly optimized. I've been getting blocks a few times and hour with doing just a little bit of optimization on the client. Looks like I have to post a newbie post before getting access to anything else.
I was wishing to post a link to my github for quarkcoin, they don't look to be worth much so perhaps the price will do something if the hashrate can go up.
