Let's do it!

Let's not. Fortunately  nobody will because this is one coin that doens't deserved to be revived.

Anyone who has a spent even a tiny amoutn of time researching this coin knows it was just a money pit, pumped by shill accounts who have gone missing, projects nobody but an idiot could believe and probaby the most incompetent fan base in the world.

[cointrader83]

i am so surprised this sh*t coin is still between us,
i used to invest in those alt coins and losed quite some money,
after a while away from bitcoin and cryptos, i come back and see its still alive... amazing,

This coin is a fork of from some coins?

Do you have any evidence? Any examples? Maybe even personal experience?

When you limit what you say to insult and innuendo, your point always gets lost.

[stompix]

Really?

Evidence? You're requsting evidence when posting on top of the pile of evidence?

Talking about shills? How about you check this guy?

Yes that guy turned out a bit toxic for the community in the end but one could argue he made qrk famous in a way.

The problem with qrk was the coin didn't have a sensible emission and the dev didnt bother too much with it.

The release was fair to a degree. The strongest pow miners got a lot of it but the dev got not unfair advantage and i suspect very few coins

Bill helped it get recognition but the investors were not crypto folk so they just hoarded their coins and did not build the community.

Then it collapsed and this is where we are.

Very famous and aged coin needs a complete overhaul. I sold mine much too late and could have been rich from qrk. However the old community before it broke down was great and had a lot of good ideas. One of the best communities ever except doge at once point.

Needs to be totally upgraded and turned to pos the pow reward is too small to give any real security to the chain.

quark is a great name though many in crypto have heard of it.

I'm thinking that a good way to revive QRK might be by leveraging its simplicity.

You know what they say, there's beauty in simplicity, and, in this case, there's security in simplicity as well since there is less that can break. If you've got something of value that you want to keep safe, what do you want, a safe deposit box, or a safe deposit box with bells and whistles that can also make you a Nespresso?

A widely distributed, decentralized, ultra secure (9 rounds of hashing from 6 hashing functions) cryptographic digital currency that only gets more valuable (nowhere to go from here but up).

It holds to exactly what the original definition and ethos was. What more could we ask for?

Beauty in simplicity. Quark doing exactly what you want - independently and securely preserving the value of your stored wealth - nothing more and nothing less.

As if that was a little feat in and of itself!

we can go on blocknet now then I guess?

what further developments have you got planned? exchanges should be number 1 priority

how can such a famous coin not be on bittrex at minimum

can we do some major upgrades to quark?

any chance of the old members of the qrk foundation returning?

I think we should turn this into a pos masternode system the tail emission is to small at current prices to even secure the chain really isnt it?

Perhaps a look at what mue or pivx are doing is useful.

All valid points. It would make sense to make some major changes, like those mentioned.

I suggest users contact their favourite exchange and request Quark, e.g. Poloniex:

I have joined this cryptoscene in 2013, and this was the first coin I have invested into. furthermore, I told my friends and family to do the same unfortunately it happened right at the peak of 30 cents, but who could predict the ending result? I remember that Bill Still guy and our expectations before his coverages

[nuttynoah]

Count me in Cryptovation.
Is this the best place to move forward or on Slack?

[n0802497]

Quark is in good positions in this MapOfCoins.com

Much better than the current price valuation.

[cryptohunter]

the dev needs to bring on a team through the 10% funding tax like dash has.

he can not code all this himself.

qkr is a famous coin that can easily be revamped.

need bittrex and polo to accumulate some whilst it is still cheap so they will list it.

I would say no more pow just go POS only.

[HR]

Whatever changes are to be made have got to be extremely well thought out, as in "white paper" stuff. Defining the end user's needs to be met, deciding on available technology, answering the how's, why's and whether it's worth it, etc. of each possibility, have all got to be clearly spelled out. The worst thing you can do is to invest time and money into something that you end up changing (or throwing away - or worse yet, that gets thrown out with you and the bathwater by end users) later on. It's also nice to have that "road map" for the "average" person. I agree that the discussion needs to take place and this might just be as good a place as any for an open discussion about all initial ideas that everyone has to put forward. Rest assured that many a nut will come around to try and mess with people's minds, and that is another of many good reasons why we should plan on a calm, cool, collected and unhurried process if what we want is something that really is well thought out and thoroughly designed. Certainly not a task to be taken lightly or whimsically, rather something that the eventual finished product merits. Mission statements are basic helpful aspects of long term design and planning, for example, which in and of themselves can take time.

I would say that what is most important for me is first and foremost always staying as loyal as possible to the original ethos, which is that of a widely distributed decentralized cryptographic digital currency, the stronger, the better. That, in my opinion, is key to success given that its very design was to fulfill that precise end and meet the monetary security needs of the end user for whom it was designed. Originally it was to protect people's wealth from centralized and controlled fiat depreciation. What's the purpose and how do we best achieve it? That's my central question.

I think everything opens up from that fundamental starting point. Everything in between both ends of the spectrum is then on the table, with one extreme being something more like a vehicle for long term store of wealth, and the other being the idea that it should be something to be used to buy coffee at Starbucks . . . and everything in between, as I said. Different technologies might be more suitable for some designs than others. There's certainly a lot to be considered. It would also be nice to try and get the opinions of larger and longer term holders to the degree that that might be reliably possible.

Nevertheless, I think the immutable foundation from which to build is a widely distributed decentralized secure cryptographic digital currency that really is tried and true secure. That's my 2 cents on where we should begin. Spare me Ethereum hackable innovations. No sir. I'll let others play with testing as I prefer to use the stable version. I want "Known Good". And I think that when it comes to making sure their money is safe, that's exactly what the majority of people want. I think that being able to buy coffee at Starbucks comes in a distant 2nd, or 3rd, or 4th, or 5th, way down on the priority list, and it's a niche at that. (Nobody's going to have all the market - at least not for many years anyway - and all the big survivors are going to fill niches). You can't be everything to everybody, can you? Realistically thinking? And to throw caution to the wind in an attempt to do so? I think it's best to stay with what you do better than anyone else, and in this case I think that means being the best storage of wealth, first and foremost, and then build on that.

Anyhow, I think you've got a great idea there to start talking about what can be done to revive Quark, and to do my part to help get the discussion going, I hereby present these very humble opinions on what I think is the fundamental basis from which to work.

  What can help Quark is if the btc38 links page for Quark could be updated. http://www.btc38.com/altcoin/qrk/    I mention this to btc38 and gave them the link to the new website http://www.qrknet.info/  But they haven't updated anything yet. Chinese investors depend on this page for their info. Some of these links are dead. It is discouraging most of the Chinese and world investors. If the rest of you could send a line over to btc38 it would help the most.
