I had not looked at Quark before. I thought it was just another scum coin. That looks very interesting indeed. A coin with a USP focused on security is definitely a niche.
Look again, Quark is a complete scam from the outset.
SecureCoin is based on Quark so it uses the same hashing changes but it has a sane economy behind it.
Nearly all Quark will be mined by the end of this month - that's right - nearly all of them.
SecureCoin uses the Bitcoin coin generation model hence it has some sustainability as the coins will be generated over many years instead of a few months.
I thought SecureCoin was dead. It disappeared from the CoinMarketCap.com because the blockchain explorer stopped working, and if you download the client it cannot download the blockchain (even if you add all the nodes available in the thread).
It's far from dead, it's trading for over $2 on btc38.com, the chinese exhange.
If there's problems with the original set of nodes then the package should be updated.
There are a bunch of permanent nodes right now and the network is just fine.
CryptoAve is launching soon as well, this will have a limited number of currencies on it, I'm not entirely sure which ones it will be limited to but I know BTC, LTC, DGC and SRC will be on it.
This is a USD fiat to Crypto exchange.
SRC and DGC are also going to appear on more Chinese exchanges.
