[ANN] [QRK] Quark | Core 0.10 upgrade

[FlipPro]

Interesting coin. Loading blocks right now.

Still worth of solo CPU mining with i7?

worth depend solely on your view, tough you can easely solomine with that

So I will definitely check that out.

Still possible!

Blocks about to half

is the Dev still around -??

what would be a fun and interesting thing , would be if Quark forked into mPoW.

why this would be good is many fold , it would test the algorithm on a much larger market and also help the health of the algorithm generally .  

vice versa quark also possibly .

+ 1 if you are a share\holder and would like to see this happen ?

I was wondering if there was any list that lists of websites where we can use Qrk ?

interesting, i like quark and very cheap right now, with some dev this is a great looking coin.

What would the advantages be ?

Let me lay it out for you.

1. What are the disadvantages ?
2. You understand , I hope that quark has been the victim of two primary vectors

A. Vector one robots .
B. Vector two other mining problems.

Both of these vectors could be resovled , ( or helped at least ) by moving to mPoW.

Why ?

Becaue then Quark , and quark investors have the chance to see what the market looks like with a lot of the robots pushed out of the market .

So you might want to view it as a human take over of the currency .

The second aspect is , it could work like a wound up spring in some sense if there is a lot of robot downward pressure and they are, to a degree  pushed out of the market , what happens ?

Final word

The logo is perfect I could not have made a better one myself , perhaps a simplified blaxk and white solid of it in some occasions. 

[digitalindustry]

Put it this way if you asked me choose between Quark and a lot of the other alts , id say Quark has a big base of users , its got lots of volume , its the FTC of CPU .

But a move to mPow , could make it the move past that , and past even the aforementioned. 

[Xleek]

It may be a stupid questions but I didn't find anything related to mPown what is it exactly ?

[victzhang]

I was wondering if there was any list that lists of websites where we can use Qrk ?

https://coinpayments.net/index.php?cmd=directory There are four stores using QRK.
Also see my bounty for websites accepting QRK: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=325257.0

MPow is momentum Proof of Work its what PTS or Protoshares is currently using , there was a bounty and gigawatt found a better implementation of it , he may want to usevthat for quark not as a test , but it would much more robust. 

See any PTS tenchinal topic .

Its the memory hard PTS work algorithm .

[digitalindustry]

If the Dev is MIA lets use the bounty to pay a Dev to fork it ,  it would good if that was gigawatt himself ( either anon or not ) as he will be paid for his good work twice , as he deserves .

I'm not sure how this would work. Changing the PoW would invalidate all the miners, pools, etc. Not?

[FlipPro]

I'm starting to like this MPoW more and more .

How would this affect existing infrastructure?

also to Max - no this is incorrect , it would disrupt all the Robots

all the pools would have to do is update to the new client , run a new miner compiled , there are PTS miners in the wild now .

If there was a disruption in the Robot side of thing this would rather switch the incentive to buying Quark rather than mindlessly mining and selling .

that combined with the removal of some downward pressure would allow Quark to at least reach the potential that in my mind an this community's mind it should.

its sad to see Quark at the price it is , but it is only due to the lack of some community management, i'm happy to help in this regard.

in fact i can tell you i'd rather see Quark on BTC-e than a lot of other cryptocurrencies - i'm not saying they would shoot for it , but it is certainly got a lot of support , and its a great concept. 

[digitalindustry]

I would also propose a cap to the 0.5 % inflation after 3 years -

of course this is a serious issue that would have to go to community vote , and no one could argue right now that anyone can have some Quark , so in this special case there should be no complaining .


but i would say , keep the emission as it is .

then 3 following years of .05% inflation .

then Cap it with only a fee structure.

what this effectively means is we have a currency here that is trading currently near 0 so anyone an everyone has had , is having a chance to gain some , then a period of 3 years of inflation , then a cap.

this is very much like a nicely executed market driven distribution , if Ripple could have achieved something like this then they might have gained more popularity .

[digitalindustry]

flip - i will contact you soonish -

all we need to know Quark community is , how big can the bounty get to pay the Dev to do the work >?

and of course which Dev ha ha .

[Hilux74]

I like the ideas being put forward.

...

At the moment Quark will have 0.5% inflation after coin generation. I'm open to have a community vote on what the inflation should be.

Sorry max I wasnt clear im saying it should cap after 3 years , full stop after the 3 years of 0.5% inflation .

Its gets complex quickly but the paradigm of inflation is somewhat a product of our sadly exising systems , so a net deflationary system that is well distributed , is not a problem at all .

I mean guys come on , " name coin" is in BTCe no one is using the supposed services it provides "Devcoin " is the definition of a centralized system .

Quark should be on a marjor exchange , it just needs the right algorithm .

And dev support .
