I'm not really up on the qrk team as it stands ....
Who have we got here
I know about
max - creator and still involved?
vic -
cryptovation -
who else is there? I never use slack so would like to have a list of the most active quarkers here so I know who is who
we have a new developer, his name is Speca, a professional coder currently working on updating Quark to the latest bitcoin core.
I am also onboard working with Cryotovation and Speca.
Concerning Max, Cryptovation and I along with many others feel he has had more than his chance to do the right thing by quark, but instead has failed it. We are putting together a team now, so will keep you updated. Quark needs a fresh start away from its past and creator the mysterious unknown Max. The quark community deserves a new team that is transparent, honest and dedicated to the project.
max - creator and still involved?
vic -
cryptovation -
speca - coder
pondi -
I kind of agree on max although he has done some things of late he is far too slack to be considered the lead coder on the project. Else we will be at 100 sats for years.
Although having said that he obviously can code and could still help if he wanted. Up to him really - come on start helping and contributing on the thread or i guess ...not.
Can speca tell me is it not possible to fork something like PIVx? which is kind of the thing we are going for? or do we have to design and code all of this from scratch ourselves and is this something he can do?
It is possible to fork pivx and it is still an option for the community. This is basically what cryptovation put forward to the community and so organized to be done by Alex and team. It ended up very different, Max should explain.
Developers were paid to do a PoS upgrade, I recommended using Peercoin as a base, someone decided instead to use a buggy PivX masternode/PoS implementation as a base. The masternode code was far from working, PoS was tested by the community and me, major bugs were reported. No fixes were done by the developers, so it was wasted effort at the end of the day.
I know you are busy with obviously a full time well paid job and quark although a great creation emulated and copied by many is now due an upgrade.
I believe you need to just get more involved here and be open for discussion with all persons not just through one vessel.
Vic is a great asset to quark and is one that is always putting a lot of effort and energy into the project. I have always found him to be very communicative and open. I am glad quark has him.
Back in the day I really liked coinmama and qrk hmmmm what was his name qrkfx something anyway he was great and it is sad they are gone now. I would even like to set a pot of quark accumulated and these people brought back to quark team. They helped to make quark great and it is sad they left after all that they did.
I believe all of us can pull together and work as a team. There need not be one figurehead although if there is to be a figurehead they must be available to work on quark full time not as a hobby now and then.
Anyone can enter quark now in quite a large way the project has sunk to a laughable low value. This is the time for true believers to scoop up quark and get more involved. I though I was getting a bargain at 1000 sats lately but now I see it has gone to 50 -100 sats. Anyone can get involved right now with quark. No more nonsense about it all being kept by whales if the whales held through the last spike of 4000 sats down to 50 sats then they are not interested in pump and dumps to sell it anymore than whales in any other project.
I think we just need full transparency ON THIS THREAD so people that do not yet want to dedicate themselves to slack for each and every project can get involved.
This is not the time for arguing and pulling what qrk manpower we have apart.
I agree max has been a poor leader for these years. This does not mean he is a total waste of space just that I believe he created a fair release POW coin which I guarantee regardless of the lies and bullshit told to you could be mined by anyone from the start and if you had the mining firepower you got the most. I believe max got very few of this own creation and therefore did not have much incentive to put much time in to it.
Sadly that must change and I hope max you are scooping up these qrks at 50-100-200 sats by the bucket load and now have some incentive to help.
I think all decisions for quark should be democratically voted on by the real quark community and discussed here.
If speca has cryptographic skills to work on quark then that is great there is no reason for him not to work on qrk too this is very exciting news and it is great we have him
It does not matter really who is lead dev or not. max is creator but does not mean has to be lead dev if all he mostly has time for is reviewing code.
Either way it is not sensible to lose any coding power from the quark team right now but we need to find a way to work together. Decisions should be taken by the community as a whole so that will null and ego and friction between the superbrains (developers).
QRK the coin is a famous aged and fairly mined POW coin. This is not a project that will be hard to revive once there is some kind of modernised reasonable code to get behind.
I have no idea how pIVx is so buggy since it seems to work fine for them and is a large cap coin.
I would like to see a laymans (if possible ) explanation by Max as to why pivx is so buggy and still is such a large cap project?
Creator and lead dev does not have to mean the same thing so if we need a non anon dev to get on bittrex i do not see a problem. Max does not need to be concerned he is the creator and that is not going to change but we need new developers that can work full time or at least put a lot of time into qrk and developers that can work together well with other developers.
I detect some friction here between the inner circle of qrk and this is always what has killed qrk from the inside out.
Let's change this and stop arguing and work together in a transparent manner on this thread to move forward as a team. Inner fighting and ego must be eliminated.
Let's find a way to forget any past issues there have been and start fresh from now. If max can assist in anyway then that is great, more than one developer is required in any serious project now. The big project have teams of devs that have to get along and work together.
Any unsolvable dispute at a high level should be put to the community to decide so there is less friction and ego issues within the leadership.
I would like to see a clear and realistic road map published and put in the OP like other coins like cbx who are making a big come back lately.
QRK WDC MEGA CBX - these were giants in the wave 1 alts..... quark more than the others no way will qrk end here.
Forget slack ,all discussions (except indepth secret sauce quark plans) should be on thread to keep this on page 1 and encourage more interest and involvement in this project.
Pacatum needs to return our funds if they did not create a working product. Who is alex anyway? does he have a username on this board?
This part max said
"No fixes were done by the developers, so it was wasted effort at the end of the day"
these fixes need to be done by pacatum else return our funds we have wasted enough time and funding on messing about that it has crushed qrks cap down to 500k usd at one point. This is quite unacceptable and I am not at all happy with how quark has been treated here. Qrks community could become very upset with this and rightly so. Any internet based company rests heavily on its feedback online so it is important to keep and entire community of forum posters very happy.
