[ANN] [QRK] Quark | Core 0.10 upgrade

[Skyripper]

so is anything happening right now with quark or it just "exists" ... ?

it's been dead a long time now. just idiots at this stage.

Nice. It's means time to buy. I always buy at this stage, and in 85% cases I get a good profit after.

Run along and sell your DGB, we don't need trolls like you calling people idiots. If you can't be constructive, or at least pleasant then bog off back under your rock.

Quark was my first alt-coin.  I mined 1 QRK with the wallet, earned a couple
from faucets, and bought about 1800 more.  I like the fast transactions!
Now I have 8 different coins and i'm holding onto them long-term (years)
while earning & staking & mining & buying more lol.  No regrets.  

Quark not "dead" - my wallet was built:  Oct  6 2015, 21:37:39

Having problems getting wallet to sync. Running core 0.9.2.6 but it is stuck on block 2578676. Who has a working config file? I show 8 active connections and it has been running over 24 hrs now and has not moved. Help!!

Thanks

Try to restart your wallet. If not help you will need delete all files (except wallet.dat) in quarkcoin directory and redownload the blockchain from the beginning. I will post a link to the latest blockchain snapshot later.

Yea....it wasn't gonna budge.      Got rid of what I needed too, but could sure use a bootstrap. The chain is ~2.5 yrs. old. It'll take forever.   

Thanks!

Advice needed.
I'm unable to upgrade my qrk wallet to the latest version, I'm using Ubuntu 15.04. When I try to compile the new wallet I get an error, any ideas?

checking for Berkeley DB C++ headers... no configure: error: libdb_cxx headers missing

I have googled it but I'm still stuck

now this. Think I'm now using the wrong DB (5.1)

checking for Berkeley DB C++ headers... default
configure: error: Found Berkeley DB other than 4.8, required for portable wallets (--with-incompatible-bdb to ignore)

have added "--with-incompatible-bdb", seems to be working?

It hasn't worked, going to uninstall and try again tomorrow  Any advice would be good

Ok I give up trying to get this wallet to compile in Ubuntu 15.04

Is it possible to get a linux wallet download on the official quark web site, please?

Current Quarkcoin sources have a bug if compiling with Boost 1.58 libraries, getting a error like this:

Code:

/usr/include/boost/variant/get.hpp:178:5: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'boost::STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILURE<false>

For Boost 1.58, a modification is needed in src/rpctransaction.cpp at line 299 where

Code:

const CScriptID& hash = boost::get<const CScriptID&>(address);

should be

Code:

const CScriptID& hash = boost::get<CScriptID>(address);

Make sure your packages aren't too old, do a dist-upgrade to newer Ubuntu version first to get newer packages.

I'm compiling well on Debian 9 with parameter --with-incompatible-bdb, having installed db5.3 and db5.3++ libraries and their dev packages db5.3-dev & db5.3++-dev.

Compile in next order, if building is done with autotools:

Code:

./autogen.sh
./configure --with-incompatible-bdb
make

After compilation the completed build is found at /quark/src/ in this case. Stripping the freshly built binaries is advised, some makefiles will include stripping though.

Code:

strip <filename>

Then move binaries to location where want to run them from, f.e. coin's base directory.

I've had successful wallets builds with BDB 5.1, but recommend to use known working BDB 4.8 manual build or 5.3 from repositories.
Heard that 5.1 had problems, 4.8 does work with old wallets, 5.3 works with incompatible bdb parameter.

BDB 4.8 manual install, install for example under /opt:

Code:

wget http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz
tar -xvf db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz
cd db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix
mkdir -p build
BDB_PREFIX=$(pwd)/build
../dist/configure --disable-shared --enable-cxx --with-pic --prefix=$BDB_PREFIX
make install

Thanks. Will look into it this weekend, need a quiet house I feel.

When was the hard fork? And what did it do? What was the purpose of the fork?
I can't see any easy to find discussion on it.

bump question?

[dzejmsdin]

Is there any chance for quark to be on some exchanges other than btc38?? poloniex, bittrex?
