And your claim that it is the fastest coin is no longer accurate. And it never was .
I think we misunderstand each other, I meant alot faster confirmation time than Bitcoin but also faster confirmation time than 90% of the top 20 current coins.

If quark doen't make a serious move in a few weeks not years it will be forgotten.
...
It the coins wants to succeed it needs something more than waiting for the miracle.
I think Quark already satisfies a lot of basic needs for quarkers like inflation and transaction times, I'm really not waiting for an miracle I know price is going down so nothing much worse can happen. From here on any news is good news, the fact that Quark has a dedicated platform for trading Quark coins QEX is great, the fact that a game is being worked at which includes Quark coins is also great. If you're waiting for a miracle I really don't know what you're waiting for, not even Bitcoin hasn't reached mass audience and its being promoted all over the place for 2-3 years now and you're expecting an altcoin to succeed in couple of weeks? months ? You need to lower your standards Smiley

Show me one happy investor in quark and I will agree with you.
Read a few pages back when all that people say .."i still hodl" , "I hope" etc.

Quark right now is useless and is used only for speculation.
Transactions last 24h    623 ?

Hoping and hoping and clinging to coins. That's why the coin has failed.
Because everyone is packing coins and not using them



Show me one happy Litecoin/peercoin/Namecoin/Novacoin/Terracoin/Dogecoin investor since they have been going down for ages. All these new coins dogecoin included were lucky they weren't there when Bitcoin crashed

There are lot of happy Litecoin investors .. check their forum.
Also a lot of namecoin holders. That coin is indeed special.

In case of Dogecoin..the community is at least alive .. unlike this one.
Why don't you say anything about blackcoin or darkcoin who have eclipsed quark lately...?

Yeah very happy litecoin investors, it had been going down for months i would be happy as well. blackcoin and darkcoin came after the bitcoin crash so didn't had to suffer from a big price decrease. They have been doing good i can't deny that, you are free to buy them it's a free market.

Drk and bc are doing well because they have got funding. The devs are neck deep in the coins they work on. They have motivation. That is the main difference.

QRK - needs a development pot too. How people don't see this is very strange. I've made a couple of suggestions and i see VIC is actually quite in favour of them. Next part is getting some action going on here. Shall we consult the current dev team to provide the companion coin or bring in a new dev team to build it?

I agree that hoarding coins waiting for price to rise, and not spending them is a terrible strategy--On that note I just received  a package in the mail from www.hermeticseal.org , paid for in Quarks. (And my pearly whites are very happy... Grin see?).
And btw, for every merchant adding BTC, this is an opportunity for Quark, so this is a good thing- ultimately this helps all crypto, because it helps increase crypto awareness to the masses...

Additionally, I encourage EVERYONE to start using their Quarks toward developing infrastructure projects!
Support projects you believe in that will be good for Quark Grin (For example, see my next post below).

Hey everyone, please check out this post and comment/pledge, we have a new Concept GUI in the works:
http://www.reddit.com/r/QuarkCoin/comments/29pigg/testing_testingnew_quark_wallet_gui_in_the_works/

Details:
"Hello Everyone!

I am pleased to announce that there is a concept GUI wallet  in the works by two of our core Quark community members:

Someguy1234...!! (C++ coder)
and Undercard!! (Graphics designer/ mobile wallet splashpage creator etc).


**GOAL: To make a sleek and attractive new wallet with unique features that will be  fun and  user friendly.**

This concept of this wallet project has been in the works for some time and has some new social and mining features that have been added to the Qt by someguy:D..(before the release of the new user interface itself).


We ask you to please test this wallet here and give feedback!!:
Download here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/omn0mwfcwt63xdr/quarkcoin-qt-social-2.3.exe

What additional features would you like to see? Suggestions?

***Also, if you believe in the power of the Quark community to get *important infrastructure projects* created- *please PLEDGE a donation* to this project to show your interest & support to keep it going!!***

We sure do need a development pot- And as well we need support for infrastructure projects that are in the works, as detailed above...Such community support will help create momentum in the direction of creating new projects, believe it. Case in point, Hash Engineering. This being said, it would be nice to speed things up a bit in terms of developing projects and infrastructure.

Also, some of the core community members are actively looking at solutions, including looking here at some of yours/others suggestions, so keep them coming!- (creation of a Superblock for Quark wont work, for reasons already stated) More people commenting and discussing these ideas would be helpful- Hopefully some solutions will start coming to the forefront soon.

really cool the irc integration, but something is missing: if I want to switch between tabs and press ctrl+tab it doesn't work so it would be nice if you can make this more user friendly

Reasons already stated? the superblock has way more positives than negatives. I have actually seen no negatives other than 10% dilution. This is the same for any coin like drk or bc if the devs had not instamined or premined then the other miners investors would have a larger share. However there would be no development and their coins value would be less. There are NO negatives to the superblock that i have seen posted here. Of course the transparency and handling of the coins is critical. The superblock is merely a time machine to create the development pot other successful coins have.

The only negatives i have heard about the superblock is that is is lik QE the government produces. On the surface it may seem similar but on closer inspection it is in no way similar in terms of how the coins are used nor is there any real evidence to suggest QE done effectively does not have huge benefits. The economic recovery here is being attributed to QE and low interest rates.

The companion coin again has no real negatives. There are 300+ coins competing with qrk and none of those bring anything to qrk. The companion coin provides many positives to qrk.

I'd like to hear some of the conversations the foundation are having about saving qrk right now. Since other than creating a development pot to fund some developments and services i see nothing to talk about other than an amazing ROI project that we will all invest in and that bill will advertise  to other perspective investors holding qrk we can't get in touch with. Solving the mining issue is another big problem without the price sky rocketing i see no real way to get the chain secured either.

Praise to VIC and the other core members that have achieved some really big things for qrk. However, the foundation? what is it? who are they?. I mean really did they not see the miners dropping off with falling price and block rewards that scaled to nothing? I see no real improvements to qrk in a year now. Sure some will say it is perfect now. The market does not seem to see it that way. If people believe qrk will magically stop sinking for some unknown reason then fine, i do not believe it.

Like people have previously said, the foundation seem to be always talking about a solution to the problems qrk has, but as yet are to solve any of these issues.

To those worrying about a 10% dilution to your coins, did you not worry more about the 10000000000000% decrease in value of your coins?

There is simply NO reason right now for anyone to buy QRK. Either develop a reason or it's as good as dead. Letting something sink this badly is terrible. Because investors are talking themselves into selling at the slightest bump in price now.

Let's actually hear from MAX on here. I mean if the captain of the ship vanishes upon any voyage this is pretty much the end of the voyage unless a new captain is appointed or the old captain shows up again.

1. did you develop qrk as a hobby project and never intend to spend your life being the project/services/community manager?



2. would a devlepment pot for qrk or a companion coin to qrk bring you onboard to be more active and lead the community forward?


3. what are your in depth thoughts on the superblock or companion coin?


4. I know you didn't instamine or premine this coin so have only a small financial steak in qrk. Do you wish you had premined a few % so that you could have worked full time on the qrk project like other developers?


5. Do you now think the block scaling should have been different?

@cryptohunter isn't it a better idea for those investors you're talking about to simply create a development pot instead cheating and create a superblock out of nothing or companion coin ? The latters will bring very negative press while the former will prove that the investors care about Quark. I'm not an investor per se but I'm willing to donate monthly to any development fund publicly announced by the dev team.

Yes, i mean that would be way better. However that will not happen. People just don't donate. The logic is why donate to things that benefit the entire qrk community even those that don't donate anything. The superblock is simply a 10% donation from everyone if you want to look at it like that. That donation will be rewarded proportionally too so win win.

Sure i mean if every qrk investor would donate to a development pot that would be nice. ROI projects are really the only way to get investment that way though from my experience. Doge seems a special case, they seem to raise funds from super whales with ease.

QRK just lost another 10% today ..... that was the development pot right there? come on guys step up and do something before qrk is totally beyond help.

All the we are discussing possibly doing something that may help is not what the market wants to hear.

This is what has been happening to the coin from the mega pump in December.
Talks , plans , talks , discussions and nothing in reality. No development only abandoned plans.

There is no community , only  a bunch of bagholders in denial of reality.

So till now I have 2 issues, one is that the ctrl+tab is not working, and second when selecting send it sends my mouse pointer to send or if I click receive again it sends my pointer to export.
edit : also when I have a conversation with someone in the `social` tab I can't close it, could be useful to put a right-click and close option and also rightclick and whois on that user.
later edit: the copy ctrl+c also doesn't work and the hyperlinks inside the irc although they are highlighted and blue they don't open when I click on them...

- also when selecting a different conversation and then going back into the original channel/conversation it takes me to the top of the screen..

Can these be put in a to do list ?

as a future improvement can you add our hashrate into `mining` tab so that when we click start mining we can see whats the hashrate and other info like `a block was found x seconds ago`, and clickning on that takes us to qrk.blockr.io into that block details. what do you think ?

Yes, i mean that would be way better. However that will not happen. People just don't donate. The logic is why donate to things that benefit the entire qrk community even those that don't donate anything. The superblock is simply a 10% donation from everyone if you want to look at it like that. That donation will be rewarded proportionally too so win win.

Sure i mean if every qrk investor would donate to a development pot that would be nice. ROI projects are really the only way to get investment that way though from my experience. Doge seems a special case, they seem to raise funds from super whales with ease.

QRK just lost another 10% today ..... that was the development pot right there? come on guys step up and do something before qrk is totally beyond help.

All the we are discussing possibly doing something that may help is not what the market wants to hear.



This is what has been happening to the coin from the mega pump in December.
Talks , plans , talks , discussions and nothing in reality. No development only abandoned plans.

There is no community , only  a bunch of bagholders in denial of reality.


Did you sell already or holding some qrk still?

@cryptohunter isn't it a better idea for those investors you're talking about to simply create a development pot instead cheating and create a superblock out of nothing or companion coin ? The latters will bring very negative press while the former will prove that the investors care about Quark. I'm not an investor per se but I'm willing to donate monthly to any development fund publicly announced by the dev team.

Sold all.  Too bad i could have done it at 3x times the price.

Just want to add my suggestions how to possible find a way out of the situations:

I am not against changing the code, not even massively like it would be the case with adding a superblock, but I am against the superblock as the only strategy to move out of this situation. People will see it as it is: an easy and probably desperate move to save Quark. I don´t see how that would help Quark even shortterm. I think we should go for a merge mining approach that integrates some structural changes and turn Quark back to a promising investment.

The basic idea was that people would mine Quark because it had enough value which isn´t currently the case and will probably stay like this for several years. That´s why I think we should look for a merge mining solution. However, I don´t see other usable cPoW coins who could be seriously used for that. Why not creating a composite coin that experiments with some of the new features that are currently out there. We could use it as a sort of test baloon and integrate the features that do well into Quark.

At the same time, I think (I mentioned that many times on the qrk.cc forum) we need to find a perspective for the foundation and rewrite the concept. I made proposals and I am willing to repeat them here as well if there is any interest.

Very interesting, i would be glad if you go into details.

Cryptohunter,
I want to thank you for all the time, effort and energy you are placing into your proposals and keeping this thread and discussions going- I personally am not against the idea of a superblock concept per se, if it had been a part of the original design of a coin..However I think that forking Quark's code to place the superblock and thererfore change the original idea/inflation model is not the way to go and may create more negative attention/mistrust for Quark than anything.

The idea of a companion coin to Quark is somewhat appealing, if there were a way to help boost the hashrate (the only real issue for Quark), without creating a fork- while also offering features that Quark supporters might like to see, as well as a development fund for projects - This is why I was asking you to lay out what this might look like, say if the anon features/superblock were added to a companion coin..Is it not possible to accomplish this without affecting Quarks code itself?- Quark itself should remain untouched.
Therefore I tend to lean toward your option A if something could be worked out, that would have no changes to Quark code itself.



Well just about the only thing the companion coin can not solve is the hash rate issue. However, yes the companion coin would not mean touching or altering qrk itself.

And then QuarkFX says...:

And whammo- we are getting closer to a solution, a "companion coin" to merge-mine with Quark, something that will test new features people are calling for...mined with Quark, increasing hashrate- I see this as a completely positive step in the right direction, as although Quark is somewhat safer from a 51% due to its checkpoint system, raising the hashrate will add an extra level of security.. Additionally a companion coin with some new test features (anonymity etc) could help assist in the raising of $ for Quarks infrastructure--Can we expand the discussion on this, community?

We found some bugs in the paper wallet generator:
http://www.qrkwallets.org/

The bugs are first noticed when one cannot take a private key generated from one of the pages and place it in the "Wallet Details" page to get the details of that key.  This indicates that there are four lines of code that need to be changed:

From Line 5280 in the qrkwallets.org html file:
Code:
// 51 characters base58, always starts with a '5'
ECKey.isWalletImportFormat = function (key) {
key = key.toString();
return (ECKey.privateKeyPrefix == 0x80) ?
(/^5[123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz]{50}$/.test(key)) :
(/^9[123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz]{50}$/.test(key));
};

// 52 characters base58
ECKey.isCompressedWalletImportFormat = function (key) {
key = key.toString();
return (ECKey.privateKeyPrefix == 0x80) ?
(/^[LK][123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz]{51}$/.test(key)) :
(/^c[123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz]{51}$/.test(key));
};

Several things are leftover from bitcoin code, such as the '5' and the L and K and the 0x80.  It should be changed to this:
Code:
	// 51 characters base58, always starts with a '7'
ECKey.isWalletImportFormat = function (key) {
key = key.toString();
return (ECKey.privateKeyPrefix == 0xBA) ?
(/^7[123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz]{50}$/.test(key)) :
(/^9[123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz]{50}$/.test(key));
};

// 52 characters base58
ECKey.isCompressedWalletImportFormat = function (key) {
key = key.toString();
return (ECKey.privateKeyPrefix == 0xBA) ?
(/^[U][123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz]{51}$/.test(key)) :
(/^c[123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz]{51}$/.test(key));
};

Additionally there is still a link to the bitaddress.org github repo.

No i think we have had a lot of crying trolls - and that was all in keeping with what should happen, it just happened a bit quicker than expected so the model sped up that is all , this was related to exuberance, but everything is inline as i see it.

The model would have gone:

-  from Group tech to group non tech in a slow manner .
- organic rise from 25 to 100 sat to up to 1000 sat
- a lot of the distribution would have occurred here

then
- Price appreciation but not enough to  grab attention.

- a move past the 2000 to 3000 sat range

- then as a solid market force set in and superior distribution tolling and crying (like we saw)


so everything is in order as i see it.
