why isn't quark used as a supercomputer for the large hadron collider program to understand the behaviour of the quark particles?
I have been wondering this too. Imagine if all the computer power used to mine was being used for the greater good. It could actually be used for something instead of just leaving us with these "coins" which are, like it or not, just blips in a computer. Same with gold. Humanity uses enormous amount of energy to mine a metal that doesn't do anything...we just sit on it...or in best case use for exchange. We are bonkers and doomed to fail ^^

I encourage anyone that feels they need to dump out after the BTC38 listing to do so - all these things tend to even out - Quark has a core of investors , we welcome speculation but that's not what makes Quark great .
Is it even possible to sell Quark equal to 200+ BTC at Cryptsy?

Humanity uses enormous amount of energy to mine a metal that doesn't do anything...we just sit on it...or in best case use for exchange. ...but due to its nature of being a highly efficient conductor it is also used in electronics and computers. Yes, but thats only the case because gold is highly malleable... meaning you can create extremely thin layers of gold... if that weren't the case, nobody would care to use gold as an efficient conductor, because it would cost a lot of money... but since you can create gold leafs of only a few atoms (!) thickness, you can easily cover anything with gold. Most famous example: lol, try and do that with quark, and you get something like: Sorry, quark, but gold wins.

No. Gold is not only used in jewelry, finances and investing but due to its nature of being a highly efficient conductor it is also used in electronics and computers. It is further used in dentistry and medicine as well as in aerospace and more. It is basically used in a wide variety of industries. Yes...but that is a tiny tiny amount compared to the amount we just sit on. And it's not like it's needed for our teeth. Not like our survival depends on it. I'm sure a less energy intensive material would do just as fine a job.

It's beautiful, and for a blacksmith gold is THE most wonderful material to work with, because you can bring it in any form you want, without much hassle.

I appreciate your input. But when pasting your data into the gadget, it still doesn't work. On an aside, I do have the BTC and LTC gadgets working, so I am not in totally new territory here.

Before you copy any api-call into a gadget, first test what the api call actually returns if you simply open the call in a browser window: http://pubapi.cryptsy.com/api.php?method=singlemarketdata&marketid=71So this is the singlemarketdata method. Maybe you are looking for another method... or, as you see when you look at the result of this api call... its a json array with many many different rates of the last hours or so. You probably only need the first item of this array... and that's probably why your gadget doesn't work with it. Because they expect a single line, not a large array.

am i reading this correctly that basically all QRKs have already been mined?
No... 1 million per year will be available for mining indefinitely.

Excellent point Digitalindustry! Anyone who wants to sell at any point - go right ahead. I have every confidence that there will be someone there more than happy to buy them - and then some! Plenty of BTC has exchanged owners during its rise - Quark will be the same. In the future, there will be people regretting selling at 10 cents, others at $1, who knows. IMHO, the majority of good alt coins will be going up (a lot) in the months and years ahead. Personally, I'm betting big on Quark, eMunie, Peercoin and Devcoin. +1... Peercoin & Devcoin may make a rise... but nothing like Quark & Worldcoin... marketing... your forgetting marketing... devcoin is useless there... so is peercoin my big problem with "Dev" coin is : 1. the principal by which it exists is flawed - its a centralized "group" that issues Devcoin to people ? 2. it's SHA256. Peercoin is a first of doing what it does , but PoS is very innovative - but ultimately its something that one would have to get very correct i think , its a powerful driver of influence, of the currency direction - this way or that way -

hahahaha!!! People, we agree that both bikini models look great (dead or alive) but I am talking about the value of the material applied on their body. :-) The gold cover is much more evenly spread out, while the quark cover looks messy, almost perverted.
