Nice! I will tweet about it

Looking at the current poll results (and previous poll results) is it really a good idea to let a random group of users with wildly varying degrees of knowledge regarding crypto decide the future of this coin? (or any coin)
I will cite the fact that there are votes for 'keep it as it is' as evidence. I mean c'mon really?

I elect that we trust decisions such as these to the CRF since they will be a consistent pool of voters and have proven more than once that they are up to the task.

This is of course dependent upon POS being the chosen direction of the coin

Also the fact that people choose Matt Damon. This should be a serious poll. There have been great things happening for this coins. But in reality we are still a very small coin and need to bring a lot of new people into this coin.

Knocking out some QB blocks solo mining

Can you mine this with GPU's? I have never really looked into it becuase I thought they are cpu only but i see something about GPU mining on OP.

Yes sir you can...I'm solo mining with four R9-280X GPU's @ 10Mh/s. I've mined 90 blocks in the past 2 hrs.
You can download the miner here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=475795

Thank you. I will have to check this out. Does it run hot like scrypt or cool like x11?

no problem...it runs cool like x11

I wonder if my BMAT has this. I have the latest and it said it supports a bunch of other Alog. Never really thought to look into quark. Thanks again

it should have it, just use -k quarkcoin for the algorithm

This poll is to find out what people like. The first option is saying you want something totally new and the other options give you the chance to be specific. The Matt Damon option is a joke, but basically the same as "I don't know".

In this case the poll is a good way to get everybody to voice their wishes. We will use this to select less options and give that up for a final vote.

I believe this is the best way because we need community support to make this coin big! We're in this together:-)

[Obfuscode]

Matt Damon voter here... I voted it to be party-independent as I felt like that as a dev, I shouldnt be pushing my own influences into this.

Regarding PoS... if the community wants it, I'll implement it, no doubt in that..
But I want you to know that I'm not a fan of it, without putting any weight on my voice  - therefore Matt Damon!

INTERESTING FACT

Did you know it's really easy to mine some Quarkbar with your own laptop directly via your wallet?

HOW?
1. Open Quarkbar Wallet
2. Go to help>debug window
3. type:

Code:

setgenerate true

and press enter
4. Mining starts and right now it takes about 60 minutes to mine one block by yourself. (depending on your laptop)
5. Block will show up as immature and it will take a while before it is minted and added to your balance.

If you want to stop mining again (computer getting hot) you can go to the console and type:

Code:

setgenerate false

and press enter

Here a screenshot so you know what it looks like:)

Regarding PoS...I'm not a fan of it

Jonesd said something similar...

Just out of interest Jonesd and Obfuscode, in your professional opinions what feature would you suggest for the coin at this stage?

We're basically looking for a way to have the network continue to support transactions once all coins are mined. POS is a way to do this, but it stimulates people to not spend their coins.

Proof of Take (POT)
I personally was thinking of doing the opposite of POS, where coins deteriorate over time if they are stored and not used. Part of the stored unused coins will be redistributed over the miners in this case. When a wallet has been offline for a long time and comes online again it can be punished with a certain deterioration of funds (1% / week up to maximum of 10% or something). In this scenario, people can also prevent deterioration by synching the wallet at least once a week.

This has the following benefits:
- Transactions can be free: This would make it possible to replace the fee on transactions with a fee on keeping the coins offline.
- Decrease only for not-contributing part: Active people are in the clear, but stored funds will decrease over time.
- No inflation: The coins get redistributed, but the total amount does not have to increase.

I would be more motivated to be part of the network in such a case!

Probably a lot of things to say against it, but idea is still in early stage.
