Here is an alternate ritual site (p2pool) for worshiping the Great Old One:

I've set the fee at 1%, I don't imagine ever increasing that.  This is all for a fun coin and a great learning experience.

Here is the link to the pre-compiled quark cpuminers for Windows.  Should be same link that thcst8 posted previously:

Be careful, there was malware floating around not long ago as a quark cpuminer, scan whatever you download.

For unix I found the "uncle bob" cpuminer performs quite well:

Installing the latest GMP library could also make a difference in performance.

Command to start mining with this pool:

minerd.exe -a quark -o http://192.241.200.142:3333 --userpass=YourWalletAddress:AnyPassword

Make sure "YourWalletAddress" is part of the command otherwise you're donating everything to the pool.
