the main issue right now is that there is no community left
this thread was dead for nearly 2 years and right now there is perhaps 5 people checking in.If max officially announces an upgrade to a version of masternode POS with a governance system and dev funding you would see quark price rocket and then the community would start to build.
I only hope the right people find out first and make sure they have the motivation to help with the project.
I know a lot of the old foundation dumped and left would be good for them to reenter now and get some incentives to help rebuild.
Primarily we need a team who works under max that is funded by the dev tax.
Getting on blocknet now would also be a good jump start and free marketing.
See my other response - totally agree that community building requires some incentive to become involved, and something productive to do with the coins rather than have their value exit the system. I am all for masternode POS, dev funding, etc.
The old foundation really didn't have many/any coins to dump, at least the one I was a part of. We all entered at around the historic high - which meant that we were all self financing the development work as there was no development funding aside from some donated to the foundation, the value of which shrank quickly. This scenario wasn't tenable which is why I am completely on board with a shift to a self financing model for the coin as part of the necessary rebuild.
Re: Blocknet - sounds like a good idea. Why don't you reach out and see if they're interested?
