[ANN] [QRK] Quark | Core 0.10 upgrade

[NUFCrichard]

What happened to QRK? Why has the price shot up so much recently?

Popularity. Marketing.

There's a lot more that can be done. Only if there are more devs.

That's very vague.

Why has the popularity suddenly increased?
How has the marketing changed recently?
Any recent news to point out?
Has the difficulty spiked up?
Why?
Is there a new CPU miner out there?
GPU miner completely outperforming CPU miners?

This doesn't happen randomly:

I am not involved with Quark officially, but here are my attempts at answers:

The popularity of lots of Alts has increased, quark is a fast and secure Alt and therefore has drawn in interest.  It reaches its end game of being transaction only quite soon, meaning no more inflation.  It's great to send, I find it is sent and confirmed in about 2 mins.

The marketing has increased.  Bill Still, a famous economist, posted a youtube video about Quark predicting $ parity.  Others on this board are working to set up apps and payment systems using quark.

There was talk of changing the algorithm to momentumPOW like PTS, I don't know what is happening with that now.

Difficulty is massively higher now, it was below 100, now it is about 2000.
I don't know of a new CPU miner that is better, though some claim better results.

GPU mining also seems to be just rumour.

Better mine as much as you can before the flood of people from China, catches wind of this coin.  Seeing how there is a lower cost of entry being CPU mining and all, their might be more interest more lower income Chinese citizens. 
Add to that speculators that buy and sell.

Is mining quarks with i7 CPU worth of anything? Or it is too small power?

[NUFCrichard]

Not sure how the the Chinese adding the coin soon resulted in a sell off, strange.

On the i7, I reckon you'd get 1mh/s so maybe about 120 Quarks a day at current difficulty, more than your electricity no doubt.

Not more if quark will reach $1

lol@ the panic sellers

Agreed. Which was so stupid of them since anyone could plainly see in the Sell Orders listing that 0.000037 BTC was not far away.

[thetopham]

think someone just wanted some cheap coins

I ran it only on 5 threads and have "hashespersec" : 103499,

If it enought to solo mining? I couldn't find any mining calculator for quarks.

[mnightwaffle]

300 ... 400... maybe..
I'll hold on to what I bought at 64
but absolutely will not buy any at current price

There is a lot happening for Quarks, and 2014 seems like a promising year with many new sites accepting QRKS coming out. When all of these sites are out QRK prices will soar. Besides, when a coin has a strong community like Quarks, the only way is up. Don't trust me, do your own research.

The fact is that anyone selling now is selling their Quarks to "smart money" investors. If you don't know what smart money means, then buy a couple of thousand now for almost nothing, and sit on it, by the end of 2014 you will know what "smart money" means.
