 What's most secure in a low hash network?
Sorry, I'm a "newbie" in this forum, so as such noob, I can't post in a more appropriated section.

I believe Quark is more "secure". As it uses many different (6) algorithms instead of just using 1.

Well...

Peercoin is secure through energy efficent proof of stake mining.

Quark coin is secure through its "6" different algorithms.

But...

Peercoin is one of the most respected, innovative coins currently out there.

Quark is a pre-mined piece of shit, where 90 percent of coins have been mined by the creators.

When people go to buy a computer they don't make decisions based upon how rich Bill Gates is or how rich Steve Jobs got by building his business.

When people go to invest in a coin they don't care if it's been mined to death or not. They want a good return on their money.

Sorry you didn't get in when it was under a penny.

But  let's say both protocols in a low hash net, ppcoin's PoS would have an advantage? I'm just wondering if miners lose interest in mining a coin, and the hash rate drops. In pure PoW it is a problem if the are no  new blocks, isn't it?

High level of people, planning to run Pump and dumps on it.
High % Already mined out in Quarks, 'question marks'.
I prefer the developer Sunny King from what I have read on him.
Peercoins energy efficient and undervalued
By it's design It will grow stronger compared to other major alts

Why is that?

IMO-
PPC- Brought a major innovation to crypto.  Realistic economy.
QRK- Is just another another clone.  (cloned sifcoin) Almost mined out already.

It's incredibly disrespectful to even compare these two coins. It's like comparing Backdoor Sluts 9 (Quark) to Citizen Kane ( Peercoin ).

Don't peercoin has some king of a central system to provide checkpoints? While this isn't so good in terms of decetralization seems very effective for network attacks.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be disrespectful. My interest is technical and informational, as I don't intend to mine either one. I'm curious about these solutions. I'm wondering if PoW only can withstand low hash networks, even if it has a safe protocol(quark).

It does, but you can turn checks off in your client if you want. Actually, I believe that makes the network safer.
