as of right now the 4th largest crypto 
yes, QRK is on a TEAR today!!!!
all of this and cryptsy is still making it so difficult to buy any quark. Try and put an order in now, my order is still not showing after 15 mins. Imagine when this gets on a non broken exchange.
Im thinking of getting some more, what exchange should I use then?
YES same here my buy orders were ignored and now it has gone up 25-30% more , cryptsy will never handle big volume markets, their script is obviously unable to cope. I hear whispers of a QRK/BTC exchange coming anyway. It's past time we had a decent place to trade QRK. This is more than likely why people are putting in values above the market rate, because by the time their order actions the market rate that existed when they wanted to buy has shot past and you will not get any coins. You need to put a bit higher than the market rate to even get a chance at your order being executed.

However, Cryptsy has a Volume of 2238 BTC in Quark which will be hard to beat
