UPDATE JAN 23, 2019
Mobile wallets currently being tested. Android should be ready next week and IOS the following week.
POS will not be activated until we reach 8,400,000 coins - so miners get the entire block reward until that point. After that POS and masternodes will start up.
Block Number Reward Total Emssion First 6 Months
1-262,800 32 coins ~8,400,000 emission curve for first 6 months
******POW will be deactivated at block 262,800 and Qrk2 will be pure POS 3.0 coin utilizing PIVX masternodes and Zerocoin Protocol******
Approximately 21 million coins will be generated after 7 years depending on the wallets that stake.
UPDATE JAN 3, 2019 - COIN IS LAUNCHED
I changed the hashing algo to X16r to eliminate all the Quark asics, that took longer then expected

UPDATED NOVEMBER 25, 2018
Hi everybody!
First let it be known the coin is not launched yet, please read everything below.
I
would like to create created a new cryptocurrency called "Quark 2.0", a fork of the once famous Quark cryptocurrency.
Quark 2.0 will be Pow/Pos and have masternodes. The code is written and running on testnet.
Masternodes will be activated after
a certain amount of coins 8 million are minted
(maybe 1 million) so that rewards only go to POW and POS in the beginning.
POS will pay out
5% 3.5% a year
POW/POS will split the block reward 55/45 using a see-saw function taken from PIVX that adjusts based on hash rate
Many of you know that Quark was released in a most unfair fashion in 2013. The original development team instamined most of the first 247 million coins over a few months.
Quark 2.0 seeks to correct that and build upon the Quark algo that is still one of the best today in my opinion with a focus on privacy with masternodes.
I have in mind the following specs (subject to change of course)
NO PREMINE
NO INSTAMINE
Quark Algo X16r Algo
POW/POS up to certain block height then mastenodes will be activated
POS pays
5% 3.5% yearly reward after holding coins for 30 days
CPU ONLY MINING FROM WALLET
21 26 Million total coin supply to be mined in
1-3 years
(need advice here please) then switch to POS/MASTERNODE ONLY
50,000 coins for masternode collateral wallet
Coin emission schedule on Slack
Planned launch date: December 2018.
If you are interested, have comments or ideas, please PM me or respond in this thread.
