[eon89]

Update the OP with shakezula's block explorer:

http://explorer.andarazoroflove.org/quark/block_crawler.php

This mean we can get back on coinmarketcap? With bitcoin having a minicrash people will be looking for other currencies.

Ok,

Seems nobody want to tell me where can i find quark miner programs. I asked it twice before.

anybody want to share some information about quark mining?

I just put apache back up,  www.nogleg.com (better just go to www.nogleg.com/archive/quarkcoin)

go to bitcoin archives, and then the Quark directory

the minerd i just put there is compiled for ubuntu 12.04

the other stuff is for windows

quark_w64.rar is all the windows stuff in rar
quark_w64.nz is all the windows stuff in far superior nanozip

but no guarantees on how long i keep apache up, it causes too much BS with ppl trying to find exploits

oh... and, yeah, a xeon e3-1240v3 dedicated server pays for itself in like 3 or 4 days

could be (or most likely is) faster.  not sure.  haven't tried it.  so also not sure about any possible security issues

I didn't see any catch to that?  Anyway, went ahead and grabbed a 1270v3 for $35

no catch on those.  I have used them in the past.  You just have to cancel 5 days in advance..... oh, tell them you were referred by zevus   

[scarface]

hello there, is there any way to get a quark wallet without having to download the main client and do the whole long "synching" thing?

I hate that Quark isn't on market cap right how while bitcoin is crashing. Such a missed opportunity.

thanks.
i downloaded your files, also trying to compile from source code.

is there any difference between source and your compiled versions?

No difference on the compiled minerd for Ubuntu.  I downloaded the Windows binaries, so didn't compile that myself.

I just now tested this:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=353448.0

and it's exactly the same for me as the other windows binaries... but then, I'm not using bulldozer or haswell on my i7 (bloomfield).

I actually get better performance running minerd on a virtual Ubuntu machine

you can use cryptocharts

second QRK order has been completed through http://www.cryptogamekeys.com

Adding more games today, my attention got drawn away yesterday by playing LEGO Marvel Super Heroes on my PS4 for 4 hours or so :>

While I can when people are looking at coinmarketcap Quark isn't even listed. I get the feeling tomorrow after this dip could bring lots of interest in other coins.

Personally I think Quark might be taking over the role of Bitcoin in the future! Quite a number of Bitcoins are moving into Quark, the adoption rate is incredible. I agree it would be great to have the market cap up on coinmarketcap.com, just to contrast the decreasing market cap of Bitcoin.

[Gunther]

Quark was on marketcap, but not anymore... why?
Goddamnit, everything seems to be crashing!

[Cygnify]

Is there any reason it was removed ? Surely it will be going back, it was a top 10 coin in coin market cap...

sorry, of course...

Here I marked it with red colors where something is either missing or wrong:

Specifications

Block invervel - Every 30 seconds a new block is generated.

Confirmation time - A transaction is confirmed in 3 minutes after the block in which the transaction is recorded is under 6 blocks.

Issuing Intervel - In the first 6 months, 247 million QRK will be mined; after that around 1 Million quarks will be mined in a year. This has been done to sustain mining activity and keep the block chain resistant against 51% attacks to which Bitcoin is vulnerable.

Difficulty - Every 20 blocks (10 minutes) difficulty is retargeted. Difficulty can increase by 10% at most and down by 50% at best.
Software

Wallets have been released for Windows and Unix systems (includes BSD, Linux and Mac). Both daemon based wallets and GUI (QT) wallets are available.

The wallet is itself is capable of mining blocks, but cpuminer has also been modified to work with the algorithm Quark uses.

There has been an OpenCL based miner available, but it's credibility is nowt known as of now.
Exchange

The following exchanges are available to buy and sell Quarks for Bitcoins

Cryptsy - Since July 26, 2013. [2]

Bter - Since November 29, 2013 [3]

Coins-e - Since July 22, 2013 [4]

btc38.com has plans to introduce Quark in it's trading system [5]
Adoptation

Quark has seen sudden increase in prices (value in Bitcoins) since November 27th 2013. Since then, it's prices were up almost 3000% till November 1st 2013 in the Cryptsy exchange. Other exchanges follow a similar trend.

Currently, in terms of market capital, Quark is in the top 10 Cryptocurrencies.

Difficulty to mine has also increased exponentially since late November 2013.
Press

Quark was referenced in The Guardian website as one of the top cryptocurrencies which can be seen as an alternative to Bitcoin in he future. [6]

Block Explorer went down.

Now even I'm suspecting the devs are sleeping.

People are getting suspicious of them now.
