I predict QRK will be somewhere between 1 satoshi and 1 BTC within the next decade 

Welcome to Quark Redux everyone.  There is starting to be a lot of good information and news starting to flow.  So I wanted to take this opportunity to re invite any and all over to the website forum for Quark at

https://Quarktalk.cc

We are trying to promote good, honest, and productive conversation.  If you have any ideas that you would like to give, partake in good general discussions, need the beginners area to help new Quarkers out, or have mining questions and comments, head on over to the forums and spend some time!  Many of the links and answers that you may need are there, and we will be updating it early and often.
Looking forward to seeing you there, let us know where we  can get better!

Ace.

Since this is now a self mod thread all of the reserved posts should be deleted, they just don't serve a purpose other than trying to claim a stake on the first page. I could understand the first post or two being reserved by specific QRK projects but as it stands now it's just a whole page posts to reserve what exactly?

Is this a revival of an old coin by a new team? I remember QRK was highly regarded a few years ago. Waiting to learn more as you update this page.

The Quark family trying to make Quark look good and delete any negativ facts about that Coin ?
Watching DI,CH,MCP,QC ......the whole family is again pushing Quark.....

Seems like DI has back his seat on Quark

If you could please list what would be the best approach to participate? How community can contribute?
I'd appreciate

DI, if I'm gonna ask/inform Thule that's he's obliged to discuss things in a respectful manner, it will apply to everyone including you. I'm sure that your inferences in the post above will be taken (correctly) as subtle insults.

sir if that is the case,  then i humbly apologize  , moving forward... >

I asked coinmarketcap.com to change the ann thread.
