Im still waiting for a reply, this is a pic from qrk.coinmine.pl website:

I've been mining for an hour and on the cmd window there is activity, im at 20kH/s per core and finding new blocks constantly but I have 0.0 QRK. What a scam.



Even at a slow speed, you should still be getting something

Only shortly after when your mining pool has "accepted" a share of work and gives you a "Yay" message, then your KH/s will show up for a short time (5 minutes).  Then it will go back to 0.0 Kh/s , until the next time one of the worker threads gets another share of work "accepted".  If nothing is accepted then the Kh/s value stays at 0.0 Kh/s.

That is what my observation has been for the last 4 days of mining Quark.

Also, noticed that with a Dual Core CPU with 2 threads running , it takes quite a long time to get one share of work "accepted". 

20Kh/s is quite slow.  On my i7 Quade Core laptop I am getting 65Kh/s on 2 threads for total of 200 Kh/s roughly.

Also, this is NOT a scam, you just have to get the technicals right.    I just bought 600 Quarks today, will buy more as price drops or level out.   

Question:   What type of CPU are you mining on?   AMD or Intel ?  What model?

What type of CPU are you mining on?


Ok I got my first QKR mined

Now I've added a second worker for my i5 2410M 2.4ghz laptop

Im using this Win64 version improved minerd:

My question is:

1) How can I know how much work did my computer did vs my laptop?
2) Why the Win64 improved version of minerd on that thread doesn't show speed and hashes on the cmd window like the one im using on win32 for q6600? (minerd_w32_sse3)
I want to know if my laptop is doing something. I only got this: 1/1 accepted (100%) 143kh/s (yay!!!)
The rest is constant "stratum detected new block" messages. Been running it for half an hour.
How many QRK did I got with that accepted block in theory?
