[ANN] [QRK] Quark | Core 0.10 upgrade

[eule]

I can't get mine working properly...   it's getting some error about 'quark-hash' not being found or some such & not loading headers...   just going to take it down instead of leaving that shell up  

I had the same problem until I looked around in Neisklar's Github. Git clone this https://github.com/Neisklar/quarkcoin-hash-python , then python setup.py install, then the pool should work.
Thanks to everyone testing, seems to run good so far, weirdly my yacpool had some hiccups this morning, investigating.

Hello,

I would like to know the block halving history of the coin.

When was the last and when is the next ?

Any thoughts about the price evolution of this coin regarding halving and difficulty increase ?

Today, what is the problem with translations into Cryptsy. Made several transactions with different purses, and on the balance of an 2 hour is nothing. Whats a problem?

Every 60,000 blocks, so the next halving is after block 120,000.

Every 60,000 blocks, so the next halving is after block 120,000.

Currently at block 112,700, so the next halving is about 8,000 blocks from now (about 3 days from now).

As the Developer said, the next halving is at 120960, around 3 days time.

As regards price evolution, because nearly all the supply is coming now, I would expect there to be plenty of cheap coin around for a while, until it settles in strong hands. The price is staying very low for now, and will at some stage have the potential for a sharp increase. At that point how high it goes depends on what the community decides to do.

I am looking to buy a substantial stake in around 1-2 months time (when I will have some spare capital).

It looks like the pool has just gone down. 

It's back

If I already have poolers cpuminer cant I jsut add the quark support to that? if so, how to I do that from the terminal (Linux). Sorry but when I see the link to github I see a lot of notes on the quark files but there has to be a command I can just type into the terminal to update/install the needed files. Soooo...any help on that, please?

It looks like the pool has just gone down.  

http://176.221.46.81:8372/static/ is still reachable, which means the p2pool process is still running but encountered some error out of my experience. I bet it'll be up again soon.
Feel free to try out my p2pool node in the meantime (shameless plug): http://qrkpool.tk:8868/static/
Nevermind it's up again.  

@ dmatthewstewart:
If you have the source, probably, but i guess a fresh git clone would be easier to work with.

Code:

apt-get install git libcurl-dev libjansson-dev
git clone https://github.com/Neisklar/quarkcoin-cpuminer
./autogen.sh	# only needed if building from git repo
./configure CFLAGS="-O3"
make
strip minerd

You must be root for the apt-get command to work, or use sudo.

[ZirconiumX]

it's the same, there is a binary posted about 3 pages back that someone was nice enough to make. If you feel adventures the source has been moved to github

I can upload a binary as well if there's interest.

That would be great, I would like to see it tested on something not AMD first. There is a "makeprofile.sh" script. It now has enough warnings that I worry it may have issues if not tested. Looks good right now, but the goal is fast, not necessarily good. Anyway, if the middle two lines match anything else the script prints out, at least two hashes where done correctly....


Oh, and there is a new option.
./configure CFLAGS="-msse2 -O3 -DCHEAT"
needs testing but the idea is that it's faster to just try a new nonce that run groestl twice. Anytime that section is found to be needed ran, it just give up. Half of the hashes end up being garbage. But, it now does more than twice the speed, for a net gain. EXPERIMENTAL, need to be ran to see if actually improves payouts as it may be losing shares. Still runs that section when required, but never twice.

Definitely experimental, considering [2013-08-28 16:48:36] accepted: 0/106 (0.00%), 0.00 khash/s (booooo). I'm switching back to v1.

Well once the demand grows and let miners dump, it could.

Block explorer

Appears down, it is throwing python errors.

And eule's pool should be added to the OP

Which pool is everyone mining at?

Solo currently, considering giving eule's pool a shot.

Has anyone used eule's pool and willing to offer some feedback?

[eule]

The pool seems to run fine, I did notice that the payout bar for my address disappeared but still get payouts (just not every found block, only have 200kH), I hope that's also the case for the few other guys whose payout graph shows nothing. Bit weird really.

If you recieve no payouts after >1 hour of mining or notice something odd tell me please.

Sorry if I missed the answer, How do I get mining on your pool. IF you could link me to instructions, I just woke up and am kinda foggy today. THanks

Sure, if you're on Windows:
Get the quark cpuminer, there are several in this thread, I'd use this one https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260031.msg3021474#msg3021474 or the one directly under it if it runs on your CPU.
Extract the archive, add a shortcut to minerd.exe
Edit the shortcut target like this: minerd.exe -a quark -o http://qrkpool.tk:8868 -u yourQRKcoinaddress -p x -t 4
-u is your address, don't use exchange addresses. -p is the password (doesn't matter for p2pool), -t is the number of cores/threads to use.
Run the shortcut.

Linux guys should be able to do it on their own.  

[bitspill]

Just switched from solo to your pool so far I've received a few payouts will let it run for a while and see if it continues

Sadly it has happened again... Successfully earn ~2 QRK per block for an hour then they stop coming hashrate is ~50kh/s
