Re: [ANN] [QRK] Quark | Core 0.10 upgrade

Thanks for all the input and offers of support.

Many ideas have been floated here, most of them good. We will have to prioritize what is most important for Quark at this stage.

My feeling is that some kind of POS/POW hybrid would improve the security of the network and should be the first priority.

I would like to focus my time on investigation the technical issues with the different POS implementations before going ahead.

I also support some other ideas bought up here like on-chain governance and master nodes, but this could be next steps.

There are many ways to contribute so please post your ideas here or in slack.

Max, it is very nice to see you back here after all this time. I am definitely happy to see these ideas being seriously considered as concrete next steps for the coin - it at one time had a very rich ecosystem surrounding it, and it would be nice to see that again. I very much look forward to discussing further on next steps and look forward to the necessary changes being implemented. I agree wholeheartedly now, as I did then, that blockchain security is the primary consideration, but would definitely agree with the above commentators that many further additions, such as master nodes, etc should be under serious consideration to be implemented to modernize the coin.

Indeed great to see some old qrk faces coming back. Anyone still have links to any of the other old qrk foundation members?

First thing we could do at once is go for blocknet addition. We are suitable now are we not ? not all coins can be added there as simply as qrk can.

I think it will get more difficult to get added there as time goes on and the effect of being added will not be so great after a time.

Max could you express interest to them in getting added?

Great news for Quark and what a great coin to innovate with. Exciting times ahead and lots of work to be done. I will be informing some friends of mine of the news today.

Shall we form a new foundation, some of the old members may decide they want to be apart of it again and if so that would be an asset.

I like the enthusiasm, but lets maybe let things grow organically here and work together to slowly grow things and rebuild.

Edit: Part of the reason I say this, is I really believe that Quark was best when the whole community was engaged and active, and productive. Towards the end, the Foundation and Quark Universe were active, however they were doing a huge amount of work behind the scenes, but the rest of the community waited to see what they would do rather than being actively engaged. I think having one leadership group creates a sense that individuals can't possibly achieve what the groups can achieve and creates a bit of divide. I think to work, an active community needs to grow.
