[ANN] [QRK] Quark | POW/POS | 0.10.8.0 - New Self Moderated Thread

[alexwithlonghair]

- Ripple, centralized and censorable, $100B
- Cardano, barely launched, $20B
- Qtum, no product yet, $4B
- Verge, actual vaporware, $2B
- Bitconnect, literal Ponzi scheme, $2.5B
- Bitcoin Gold, trivial fork of Bitcoin, $4.5B

Quark is the buy of a lifetime  

Couldn't agree more I think 2018 will be the year of Quark

They haven't touched their social media since 2013 and their website is barren.  They do seem to be on a little bit of an upswing in the market, but I don't know if it's from people actually believing in the project or others just trying to make a quick buck.

dear Cryptovation and pondi ,

i did as directed but the client is reindexing at 232 weeks .... not syncing... i thought it would be a few minutes...  i did copied the client from the rar file  from this site url=https://github.com/quark-project/quark/releases/tag/v0.10.6.3  ...... rather than extract

can you help ?

Reindexing is a fairly long process - give it a number of hours.

A new website is being worked on. The official twitter is @quarkpress - the original from 2013 is lost to a team member that left in early 2014.

The social media is currently being replaced or taken over as the quark community lost control of that old social media. In the process of updating

At last an updated already re-indexed POS blockchain bootstrap.

To sync in a few minutes.


Back up your wallet before using this bootstrap!!!!!
Please Note

Back up wallet.dat file, the most important thing to do, so you don't lose your coins (if you don't know how to do it, ask for assistance first) or follow instructions below  

Your wallet.dat file containing your balance and transaction history is located within your Quarkcoin folder. C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Quarkcoin

1. Copy the wallet.dat file directly from the Quarkcoin folder (C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Quarkcoin) and save it safely on your pc where you can easily locate it, if needed.

2. Rename the above mentioned "Quarkcoin" folder to Quarkcoinoldbackup.

3. Download the latest build of quark wallet and save to hard drive.  https://github.com/quark-project/quark/releases/tag/v0.10.6.3

4. Install the latest build of Quark. Close down the wallet immediately after completion of installation if you left the run automatically after installation checked.

5. Open the newly created Quarkcoin folder, (not the Quarkcoinoldbackup)  C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Quarkcoin and delete all the files within it. Do not overwrite existing files just to ensure no conflicts. leave the Quarkcoin folder open for the next step.

6. Copy and paste your wallet.dat file from your Quarkcoinoldbackup folder into your now empty Quarkcoin folder.

7. Download bootstrap zip file and save to your hard drive. https://mega.nz/#!YPRFzRob!iS20lMoV0aNM_byOuF9I1yGs6rYLovWxq1pessN_AuM]https://mega.nz/#!YPRFzRob!iS20lMoV0aNM_byOuF9I1yGs6rYLovWxq1pessN_AuM]https://mega.nz/#!YPRFzRob!iS20lMoV0aNM_byOuF9I1yGs6rYLovWxq1pessN_AuM  

8. Unzip bootstrap and extract the 2 folders into the Quarkcoin folder you just pasted your wallet.dat file into.  If having trouble to unzip install winRAR. https://www.win-rar.com/postdownload.html?&L=0

9. Open wallet and sync in a few minutes.


To Stake:
1. Open Quark wallet latest build v0.10.6.3
2. select help - debug window
3. select console tab
4. enter into console text field:     walletpassphrase mywalletpassphrase 100000
                                                          ^                          ^                      ^
                                                   (command)        (your passphrase)     (number of seconds for unlock)

5. press ctrl L to clear your console.
6. close debug window and watch your coins get minted if they are 30 days old or greater.

Happy staking!!!!

Item 4. is the unlocking procedure to stake and mint your coins. This is only required if your wallet is encrypted.

Yes I can help no problem.
The reindexing takes hours.
Things to note:
1. What version of windows are you running 32 or 64 bit. (Window 10 is 64 bit.) google how to find out what your computer is running on if you don't know.

2. download the client as an exe not zip file preferably. (its just less steps and can prevent headaches installing)

3. Do not omit downloading and extracting the bootstrap file in the instructions.

4. follow my bootstrap instructions step by step to the letter and you will not need to reindex unless your dat file has the transactions from the forked chain.


My preference is the 64 bit as I am smooth sailing always on it. The 32 bit I have had some problems.

The bootstrap file is from the 64 bit client, but should also work on the 32 bit.

Not everyone has trouble free installation, but most do

Given the issue of sending your coins out of your wallet on what appears to me a forked chain, you have 2 options.

1. let the reindexing complete in its own time and see what happens.
2. Scrap it all and start again, but if you have a wallet.dat file backup prior to your transaction, use that.

important note: if you use an old backup, but since have created new receiving addresses. Those new addresses will not be on the old back up and neither will the balance of those new addresses.


If this is your wallet address : QUFgpowHRYGA23jwVQfdCboT3KeXGG7wF8 , you have nothing to worry about. Your coins are safe as long as you load the bootstrap and sync to the correct chain.

one last thing. It is always preferable to use the extract to function in the zip software as opposed to copying from the preview window.

This going to go up 10-20x

[Pondi]

This going to go up 10-20x

that is true,
it is also true that the more people who become actively involved in the community helping out will take this coin way beyond 20x

If you can code blockchain, if you can build websites, if you manage social media, I urge you all to join the slack and together we will make it happen

This is looking like it wants to multibag huge... is it actively being developed again?
Please post the official Twitter (and Discord) when a new one is up, I still only see the old one from 2013-2014.

A new site and roadmap wouldn't hurt things either.

Hello Quark community! Glad to see this piece is back! it's my first and my favorite
 
I bought QRK several years ago and can not find my wallet or my wallet.dat file anymore.
I only have the address and the secret passphrase:
 
QQGGXSigYZrhaM6ZhkMq7Tp8yBe7LQNkGR
 
It is dead or is there a possibility to retrieve my QRK?
 
I offer half the QRK to the one who finds a solution 

Best regards

you must have your wallet.dat file and your passphrase, take another look for it, you might be suprised and find it.

Thank you for your answer, I think it's easier to buy a little.

I asked coinmarketcap.com to change the ann thread. 

great, I was unaware of it being incorrect.

[minad]

thanks everzone , it is sorted .

these old giants never really die.... they will all come back strong in future once the ico crap is realised for what it is.

Hello, guys!
First of all I must say that if Quark skyrockets I'll be one of the most happiest in this thread, cause I got decent amount of it (bought back in 2013).

BUT, why you guys are so sure that it will come alive? I mean, QRK is so DEAD, superdead, what it has (or will have) so special that other +100500 currencies hasn't? Besides, I heard that #1 in quark's richlist has 30% of total amount, that's one of the attributes of scam, isn't it?

[strelok25]

This new fashion now all the coins are going hybrid POW/POS and implement them masternodes?
Anyway i have to admit i am a sentimental guy, i have a lot of BTC on Quark but i would like to see this coin progressing.Quark is an excellent coin and I will invest money in it.

The 30% you are referring to is owned by BTC38.
If and I say if Quark's management was scamming back in the day along with almost every coin including as even rumor would have it darkcoin now known as Dash, that ship has sailed. Quark has a huge distribution of wallets and coins after all theses years which is an enormous advantage for any crypto. It is owned and run by the Quark community.

Quark's peers are usually much greater in number than that of peercoin of which legend has it invented the first proof of stake.

Your post is good as it gives a chance for these questions to be answered for all who reads about the ancient ruins of Quarks so called history.
Quark is anything but dead, the community is coming together nicely, the coin is being redeveloped and the community is inviting people like yourself to assist.
