[ANN] [QRK] Quark | Core 0.10 upgrade

[Netnox]

Bill Still counters back on Max Keisers tweet on Quark:

Cody writes...
hi Bill - are you Still onboard with Quark, or have you moved on to the Maxcoin bandwagon?

Bill Still replies
I just put up this on the Quark Forum: This is the first I've heard of Max's tweet. I see nothing in the construction of Maxcoin that makes it better. In fact, quite the contrary. I'm sticking with Quark." I'm not in this for speculation. I'm in this to solve a problem.

Spot on

Quark added to bitcoinwisdom

http://bitcoinwisdom.com/markets/cryptsy/qrkbtc

Love it, my favorite charting site. But the data only goes back 2 days?

Up 40%... And somewhere stompix is still bitchin. LOL

Of course I would have  bitching... If I only had internet access while away. It could have been up by 50% , right?

If Bitcoin got cracked, hacked, compromised or corrupted one day which meant its end, would that automatically follow for Quark as its algorithm is also SHA256?

Quark has one of the most unique hashing algos in the crpyto space. Bitcoin uses a single  SHA2 hash, Quark uses 9 rounds of hashing from 6 hashing functions (blake, bmw, grøstl, JH, keccak, skein). 3 rounds apply a random hashing function.

NIST held a public competition to develop a new hash function called SHA3.
Keccak is currently chosen as the next SHA3 hash, the other Quark algos were all finalists in the NIST competition for the next SHA3 algo.

Im no cryptogrpaher but would assume if the NSA's SHA2 is somehow compromised, Quark would likely skyrocket as people would move into a more secure coin

if sha256 is broken or cracked ... bitcoin or quark will be the least of your concerns.

who can say about the future of quarkcoin?
2 qrc per block - miners will not work with this profit, but the price are not likeable

Short term greed . Just like the current financial system.

Miners don't all think this way. If they did, BTC would never have survived, along with many other coins.

The daily profit seekers are good for economies, because they make a liquid market, but the big gains accrue to those with a longer perspective.

That's beautiful! Where can I buy a book like that?

Advocating future centralized crypto for nation states? 

I think this will be the end of our crypto-economy. A coin that is properly distributed, and then is decentralized after that point would be the end-all

I fail to see anything wrong with this kind of project , in theory. In practice is almost impossible to achieve.

What a shit show that whole thing has turned into. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I expected better.

Add one more thing to the list of items that are not helping Quark's image.
