OMG. Imo it looks great and I don't care about the cross.

Removed...gonna post again without the cross. (I'm not Christian either by the way)

[Maconi]

Hah. To me it looks like all the broken currencies are paying their respects to the dead Quark. Not sure if that's what you were going for.

Hehe...it should be a funeral for the dead currencies. But I can see what you mean.

People are somehow offended by the cross, so maybe you would care to edit your post?

I like your 3d renderings a lot.

I have a suggestion for a new one:

The quarks are like the aliens of "war of the worlds" (tripods)...

And they have finally started the war against all fiat currencies...

It would be better if the other currencies where on the cross and QRK coin was the winner, with that light above : )

But, none got offended about the cross. The point is the marketing right now. People can talk shit and so on

Yeah, i wasn't offended by the cross but its a marketing nightmare.
In the picture QRK is Jesus i sure hope he doesn't die for our sins though ^^

I started mining successfuly with i7 sse4 miner on a P2Pool. After how much time can i expect a payment to a QRK wallet? Half an hour? 1 hour? Longer?

[bluebit25]

Made a few changes: 24 Million to 21 Million Bitcoins, also added the 6 Hashing Functions, if you notice anything else incorrect or something needs to be added let me know. Once the new logo and slogan are chosen, I'll add those to the graphic.

[peterlustig]

Should I be CPU mining this or GPU mining.  Little confused.  Since there is a GPU miner out already wouldn't CPU be unprofitable ?

where is the gpu miner for qrk?  I apparently missed it. I'd love to gpu mine these bad boys

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=310975.0;all
Only solo and 12.5% fee

You should remove the CPU Mining from that picture, it only allows non believers to bring up that "premine" bullshit and its not really a big plus.

After how much time of mining in a P2Pool should you receive Quarks into your Quark QT Wallet?

Hey mate please edit the picture out of your quote

Improved miners again need testers to report increases

AMD FX-8120 8 cores processor
2 kh/s

Thanks! I updated the list.

AMD FX-8120 8 cores processor
2 kh/s

I believe you meant to say 2000 kh/s?

:-)

Hi!

Sorry, no, I meant 2 kh/s!!

That was before I actually mined any QRK though, I tested out my CPU with a scrypt coin and was getting 2 kh/s stable, so I thought I'd get the same result with QRK.

For QRK, the 8 core CPU gets 505 kh/s.

I was able to find about 3 shares after 3 minutes of mining. I have no idea if I got anything at all from that, the pool mining apparatus was unlike any other pool I've tried, instead of signing up on the website and installing a worker, I simply gave them my address instead, which wasn't a very good way of tracking earnings.

While doing the 3 minute mining, I read up a bit more on Qrkcoin and found out that there's roughly .004% coins (as of this writing) of the total coins left to mine. So I thought, what's the point? Then I stopped mining.

[FlipPro]

Max we need a technical white paper that people can reference to.

Any thoughts on when this can be released?

Ok, I see.

Well, I get average of 1.5 MH/s with my "bulldozer", sometimes peaking at 2 MH/s...

but wait, I think my cpu is actually a AMD 8-core vishera (piledriver) 4 Ghz., the successor of the bulldozer. So its not "exactly" the bulldozer cpu model.
But I use it with the bulldozer miner, and it works great and very stable, been running it for some days now without any problems.
(problems only caused by the mining pool)

can someone explain why quark is more "secure" than bitcoin.  Please don just quote "6 hashes, etc blah blah" please elaborate on the weakness in bitcoin addressed by these 6 hashes.

Hashing algorithm is a mathematical procedure keeping your wallet and all transactions safe. Bitcoin uses SHA-2, so if SHA-2 is cracked some day, Bitcoin will be destroyed since anyone can steal money from your wallet, anyone can arbitrarily add money to his/her own wallet, etc. Quark uses six different hashing algorithms (they were six candidates of NIST hash function competition for next generation SHA-3 algorithm in 2007), so if you want to crack Quark, you must crack all of the six. Moreover, these six algorithms (at least a few of them) are considered to be superior to SHA-2 in academia; for instance, Keccak, is selected as the next generation SHA-3 algorithm by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). These two factors make Quark very very secure.
