I am trying to understand the description of quark. I particularly unsure about how many coins is really available. From this statement "Total of 247 million QRK will be mined in ~ 6 months, after that ~ 1 million QRK p.a. (~ 0.5% p.a inflation)", what does it mean? What does the abbreviation "p.a. inflation" mean?

per annum

Thanks, so let me understand this. After the first 6 months there are a total of 247million quarks, 1 year after that, there will be 248million total, or 247 + 248 = 495millions total? my guess is 248millions, but I am not clear about the language.

247+1 = 248 Million

thanks

Doesn't that seem like a HUGGGE mistake for Quarkcoin? The few people that came on board to tinker with it at the start will literally already have about 99% of the coins that will be mined for years to come. How many miners of Quarkcoin are there?

The developer of Quarkcoin wasn't Satoshi - that's for sure.

Satoshi was not a trustable guy. He premined millions of Bitcoins, Quark devs didn't mine any.

This's not a mistake. This's an advantage.

It's designed to be a true cryptocurrency -- no mining @ speed of light; only the existing is circulated.

Almost all coins have already been mined. Most miners sold it cheap, so that helped with fair distribution.

what is with securing the network?
