3. You are partly correct. Everybody can indeed mine and contribute to the Quark hashing rate. But if you want to collect Quarks you need a powerful CPU (at least an i7). With my i5 laptop I have never earned one single Quark. My laptop only went very hot.
Well thats good news, the Quark network is not that weak to be mined with a laptop, you do need a PC for that. :-)
4a. Of course you have also scammers in the bitcoin world, but you can't compare the bitcoin community in size with the Quark community.
Well the major difference is that In Quark there have been scam
attempts while in Bitcoin there have been major fraud with hundred of millions of dollars stolen from people! So take a look at the bigger picture and think again if you want to keep recommend Bitcoin lol. Of course it isn't Bitcoin or Quark fault that these scams were attempted or even successful but in your wrong mentality of crypto currencies you blame one but close your eyes at the other.
4b. Maybe you want to place a rectification by yourself. Who threw Kolin's scam out to the public without consulting the Quark members? Well? One hint, that wasn't coinmama. She just informed (by e-mail!!) you and abdell, because you were moderators at reddit and should know with who you had to deal with.
I truly hope you're not blaming me for informing the world of Kolin scam attempts? Well, actually if I wouldn't had made those public then Abel would have anyways. But without coinmama we wouldn't had known anything and people would have still trusted Kolin words.
5. Adam and Geoffrey left the Quark community long time ago. You make it sound like there are more active developers active for Quark now.
No, you're wrong, Adam left Quark due to financial reasons of not being able to spend his time without getting paid(like most bitcoin devs are btw) but Geoffrey is still involved with Quark as far as I know.
I called Max a "baby"

maybe read my quote again

I'm sorry, I thought you insulted Max for walking away. Calling him a baby I thought was part of the insult :-) Anyway you did let him know `face to face` what you thought about him, in the chat, right?
Max wants to solve all problems for Quark? Maybe, but not for free. Do you want me to look up what Max asked to merge mine Quark with another coin? I have his quotation somewhere stored in my archive Wink
Maybe ?? Look at the github dates and you won't find the maybe in there, you'll find work done almost in every month of Quark existence, work that was not paid for as you know Max never mined Quark so he never had anything to benefit from improving and maintaining the network's code.
Bitcoin developers are paid, why wouldn't Quark devs get paid if someone from the community wanted Max to do the work for other coin to merge mine with Quark?
