And what is exactly bad about a coin made to be mergemined with Quark? Save that there is little sense in such a coin these days.

purpose was good, the execution was terrible

The technical part of execution was just fine if I get it right. The drama of unsuccessful instamine/pump is a different story

Anyway, Quark was a huge success and a major innovation of its time, it would only make an honour to RedKendra to be its inventor.
