Sorry for you to not get the reference. You were the one arguing that noone would attack Quark because it won´t make sense - I simply argued that damage is done no matter if it makes sense.

No I didn't argued that, you must've read someone else posts. I said that anyone who controls the majority of mining is not capable of doing any harm without tricking themselves as well. Its irrelevant what anyone attacks if they can't harm it then no one needs to be worried. Of course your behaviour of FUD is quite similar to former quakers who had the same attitude when they've sold out, its totally normal I guess. You sold at a loss and now you're fuming out on everyone connected with Quark.

Wow, 40 (in letters: fourty - CRAZY!) entries in one round (how long was that again). And now what? Do you think that´s many? That´s nothing. Beside that, how would you possibly know they are individuals? Technically it could be even one person.

No, technically no. If you meant hypothetically, yes they could be the same person but based on the entries and IPs I highly doubt someone would go to such length when every single entry counts only as one.
And yes thats much considering how much attack the forum got from either side of fences, on one hand Digi's followers were lied that we want to destroy Quark, and now the former quarkers with which I've started are getting back at with their own way of bashing. Its hard to get across the alternative current of which both impulses are on the negative side, but there you go 40 solo miners willing to participate in a contest in which they may win money; not much only about 150 dollars the big prize but still not hard to say yes for those with an idle PC at home :-)

I am coming back every now and then to see the "progress" that the few lasting Quarkers evangelize. I am glad to see that there are less and less people falling for the "keep smiling and forget about every criticism" attitude. In my first post I addressed the factual centralization of Quark and you come up with a pathetic "Hey, but we are protected against everything", which is either a lie or plain lack of understanding crypto. btw.

`Factual centralization` proves nothing bad about Quark only that the current state is being controlled by a majority pool who cannot double spend, but only withdraw their power. Due to the fork we recently had that pool on 11th Jan was down and quark hashrate was still maintained above 150MH/s, now we're back at around 400MH/s. The pool controls a solid majority of hashing power but of course you fail to see that once more users join in with hashing power on other pools or solo mining, the numbers will even out among many other miners, but that will only happen in time. Bitcoin never faced with this in its first 2-3 years because the pools weren't invented yet so of course things will progress a bit differently nowadays with a young currency.

If someone really wanted to attack Quark they wouldn't need a fucking public pool to do it thats what you forget when you talk about mining centralization. The attackers at the current hashrate would need more than 1000 botnets to have control over Quark's block emission power and the only thing that they would accomplish would be to delay transactions for other legit users, nothing more.
If you think that delaying transactions in Quark which is a 2 year old crypto currency is worthwhile for a group of hackers then you must be mad. Once Quark becomes more popular the mining power will increase accordingly and the delaying of transactions attack will get harder and harder.

And don´t worry, I am not talking to you, since I know there is no way to keep you from believing that everything is fine - I am writing so people who think about getting into Quark think again.

Glad you cleared that up, but like I dealt before with bitcoin disappointed-turned-into-fudsters types, I don't mind dealing with quark-them as well.. Oh and yes everything could be fine or very wrong depending from which perspective you look from.. politicians turn literally everything into the worst or best thing every day.. so of course you can continue to look at Quark from the worst possible angle while others like me will prefer to look from a concerned but constructive side instead from the sidelines.
