Finally I synced my wallet  . When I type setgenerate true my PC starts using 100% CPU and 98% memory. It's making loud noises. Would it be bad for my PC if I stake like this for many hours?

Yes! you will kill your computer. If it has more than 1 processor, most do, Use: setgenerate true 1
Should reduce your CPU load.

If staking is your only requirement, Use: setgenerate false
Staking will still occur.

So if I type into the console.

setgenerate false
walletpassphrase mywalletpassphrase 100000

the wallet will still stake?
So what's the difference between setgenerate true and false if they both allow staking?

Thanks. Now I understand.

I found really interesting article about quarkcoin written by Vitalik Buterin.

setgenerate true is for POW mining

setgenerate false turns the POW mining off

POS only requires unlocking wallet ie walletpassphrase mywalletpassphrase 100000 to stake via POS

You can stake your balance via POS and mine POW solo at the same time by setting setgenerate true 1 and unlocking wallet for staking POS

Quark is a very very nice Hybrid blockchain and will become recognized in due time.

Thanks very much.  So by default then the wallet is not set to mine.

Can u help tell me where i can change this to "setgenerate true 1"

Thats a great find, I am so glad we have that article to point out the problems in quark so we are able to remedy them. Pos has helped, and the rest will get done soon enough

I purchased QRK on Cryptopia and downloaded the 10.6.3 wallet. After generating a wallet address and sending to funds to said wallet address, I realized that I didn't encrypt the wallet, though was able to generate a wallet address without doing so. When I attempt to load wallet application, I’m receiving an error that block db isn’t loading. When I attempt to rebuild the db, I receive a runtime error.   Will downloading and re-installing the wallet enable me to access the original wallet address w/o a private key?  Any insight is appreciated.

[mictric]

good to know... I did find the .dat file but still uncertain how to overcome the runtime errors loading the db.

MinGW Runtime Assertion
Assertion Failed!
Program:C:\Program Files\Quark\quark-qt.exc
File:db/version_set.cc,Line 789
Expressions: dummy_versions_.next_==&dummy_versions_

If I re-dl and install the wallet, can I reference the previous .dat file?

what is the ROI for masternode in this coin now?

Hi, is there any way to staking on VPS ubuntu (command line)?

Hi, anyone has knowledge about this? I can't run my computer 24/24.

Thanks!

The other one isn't spelt the same if you mean qwark.

No need for running wallet constantly to get your stake reward.

POS is set by default.

You only need to open your wallet and sync to the network one every few weeks to claim your stake rewards by unlocking your wallet.

Follow staking instructions from Pondi and you will be fine.

Wow, just learned that. Thank you!

Glad to see that the quark has returned to the game again.
Altcoin season has begun! Let's go to 3000sat.

Hi, absolute newbie to blockchain here, so i'm just doing some experimenting and learning.

I'm doing a lot of reading (even following some tutorials on how to create your own blockchain, just for deeper understanding) but one thing I haven't managed to figure out yet is the correlation between "difficulty" and "hashrate"

Just for fun/learning, I just downloaded Quark wallet and the bootstrap per instructions here (which i'm sure saved me a very long wait time, i'm already synced and i'm on a very poor internet connection) - I've set it to mine on my ancient 4 core 4GB RAM desktop just to get a feel for the whole process.

If I run getmininginfo;
{
"blocks" : 5033978,
"currentblocksize" : 1000,
"currentblocktx" : 0,
"difficulty" : 59207.35814723,
"errors" : "",
"genproclimit" : 2,
"networkhashps" : 31352434513,
"pooledtx" : 0,
"testnet" : false,
"chain" : "main",
"generate" : true,
"hashespersec" : 71483
}

So with ~70k hashes, what is the "realistic" return on this system? I'm not worried about profit or energy, this is a learning exercise - But just curious, if I left this PC running for the next day/week/month, how long until I saw my balance go up from zero?
