Hello.
I've been running a Quarkcoin p2pool since about September for my own solo-pool mining purposes. The more the merrier? It's there, please feel free to use it. Fee is set at 2%.

For those just getting started...
Here is the link to the pre-compiled quark cpuminers for Windows.

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

Command to start mining with this pool:
minerd.exe -a quark -o

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