If there was someone who had the funds buying some Reddit ad space on /r/bitcoin for quark would get the name out there to tons of people looking for a cryptocurrency that they could still afford.
This is the viewer data for the subreddit:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/about/trafficAds cost $5 for 6,666 views. So if you just want to do a trial run of a Quark ad it will only cost you $5.
If someone does this my biggest suggestion would be KEEP THE COMMENTS OFF. /r/bitcoin is full of people who sound exactly like people who hold onto gold and shit on the idea of anything else having value. Also as for the title of the ad make it as informative and as close to max size as possible. With past ads I have run on Reddit this increases click ratios tremendously. Also don't forget to fill in the picture section!
Even if most people don't click the link getting the word Quark in their mind from seeing it at the top of the subreddit will make them really take notice when it is mentioned in news articles like the Guardian one.
If this idea ends up bearing fruit you can always throw a few Quark my way
