It is kind of sad watching DRK have such a nice rise considering:
1) QRK was way more fairly distributed and
2) Quark algo still remains ASIC resistant due to its random rounds whereas X11 with its simple linear design already has FPGAs working meaning dedicated ASICs are available anytime someone thinks it is financially worthwhile (ie likely now).

Quark (and Quark based clones..) remain the best coins for distributed decentralized individual mining (as opposed to centralized corporate ASIC mining farms that have already or are in process of taking over SHA, Scrypt, X11).

I sold what Darkcoin I had today, I sold too early, but I'll sleep better not holding something that is being manipulated like DRK is right now. It's ripe for manipulation because greedy zealots have hopped over from Blackcoin, and it's just trading on the concept without any merchant adoption or clear vision for actual use. One successful hack on a masternode and it will be hard to recover. Anyway, I made a profit and bought some more Quark! You know, a crypto with a real future

[AlexPRK]

I think that after the full release ASIC's, a large number of owners of video cards will switch it on quark (or Vert)!

How you think?

How you think?

Right now I have one machine on a multipool paying out in Quark, and another is merge mining Vertcoin together with MON/PLX. I would say switching to Vert makes most sense, but I would expect more to mine Quark directly when the price goes up.

[ivanlabrie]

The nvidia crowd will switch to quark since they have no advantage on scrypt but they do on quark...x11 is asic prey.

Quark really made multiple hashing revolutionary, so many clones including darkcoin. quarks time will come, it just needs a trigger, it could be Bitcoin rising in price, ShaqFu coming out, Shaquille O'neill talking about quark, www.qex.la delivers, quarks dev making a sweet update, other projects that come out etc. all in all it's a Crypto with improving infrastructure.

You guys are delusional..

Having ASIC's after a time is healthy, as it lowers the chance of the coin being forked and ruined by someone with enough hashpower. While Quark is very ASIC resistant, someone with a few million could easily destroy this coin and lower it's value to Nothing by doing a 51% attack...

Having many people distrubeted with ASIC's incredibly lowers the risk of a 51% attack, look at Bitcoin for example. You'd need hundreds of millions to attempt to get 51% of the haspower.

Sorry Quack fanboys, but this coin has no purpose and is useless, it can be forked/destroyed extremely easy by someone with a few million and evil heart, and its price shows that...

Obvious DARKcoin fanboi is obvious...

Also stupid.  First big X11 asic maker out the door could 51 DRK even easier if they had an evil heart as it would be the new weapon on the battlefield.  It is the balance of hashing power that keeps things safe not the hashing equipment itself.  QRK is good being ASIC resistant because CPU and GPU are in the realm of eveyone so it is simple to have well distributed hashing (though we do need more pools so that distributed hashing isn't all focused together in one place...).

No...I survery all coins equally, there is no bias.

Quark truly has Nothing to offer...I'm being 100% true and up front with this. It's extremely low price and huge sell orders, and huge lack of buy orders show that....ASIC's are healthy for a coin after a while.
Quark can/will never get far, Because it lacks the ability to be used by ASIC's.

Also, as the difficulty in Quark progresses, it will/already is extremely unprofitable to mine it..

Dude darkcoin is a quark copy dafuq you talking about, it has the 5 hashing fuctions of qubitcoin and the 6 of quark and added them together. Quark made multiple hashing big, without it darks x11 wouldn't even exist. qrk adds 3 more rounds of hashing randomly: so the computer doesn't know whether it will be lets say Keccak or Grøstl or Blake, but with x11 the computer remains certain about which hashing function will be used.

Also since its block generation is 30 seconds, which means that qrk's algorithm with an element of randomness (unpredictability) will have to be cracked in 30 seconds to create a double-spend fork, and for dark the time window is 150 seconds. Atleast quark has done something even Bitcoin hasn't done yet http://www.coindesk.com/all-things-alt-quarks-shaq-cess-blackcoins-pr-pivot-and-dogecoins-victory-lap/ and http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/24jnci/shaq_fu_a_legend_reborn_picture_of_the_first/.

dark added anonymity wow other coins can add it too, but i'm not sure if it will pay off if it wants to go mainstream.

Dogecoin doesn't have anything to offer does it? It doesn't even need it because the default Bitcoin feature is already an innovation, it's all pr and marketing from here. Stop making a fool out of yourself ranting on other coins, you are making a bad name on dark community.

What a joke. The message of Quark is simple - fast and secure for everyday transactions, this is its strength and it's an easy sell. For all the press about Bitcoin everyone skates around the issue that it is too slow for point of sale transactions. As for ASIC's, it is another rat race with no benefit for people using the currency, and it makes the whole crypto community look stupid and wasteful from the outside. Do the ASIC farms mining Bitcoin make the network perform faster, or more securely? No, they don't.

Wasn't quark's prime in december 2013 already? Seems to follow the trend of every other altcoin, first slow and steady for a while, then astronomical growth, then dumps and slow decline no matter how hard the devs or community works.

You are trying too hard, quark just starts to get used in consoles in 2015, if anything it's more alive than ever, you are just a darkcoin shill trying to badmouth another coin to get them to dark, now that is backfiring. Also i would like to see an asic for quark if there is one not like i'm against it, i don't even mine

The Quark Coin Theory

Trying to see where it says "Quark is the ASIC resistant coin!", no luck so far 

Also, security is an ongoing issue for any coin? Again, ASICs don't increase security unless you factor in how they are distributed, this can lead to coins being less secure if hardware/hashpower is owned by just a few people.
