why is quark dropping again?Huh

I think quark needs more publicity cause it feels like it lives in the shadow of the new and big coins.  Embarrassed

I can take a guess and it is bothersome. I am running an AMD FX8350 processor. Not running it real hot yet, maybe at 500khs, as I'm waiting for the CPU cooler to come. (Then it will be at 800)
Anyway, I'm generating about 1 QRK a day, which is around 3 bucks a month in USD and the electricity to generate those coins, here in Germany, is probably 5-10 EUROS. Just an estimate.
I think that is a problem in a few ways:
1 - Those with a free CPU to mine coins might choose one with a better return.
2 - It is expensive no matter how you look at it.

If my math is off correct me. I'm long Quark and a Quark holder but we need a higher price to keep the miners going, at least in some locals.

It took you a while , but you finally figured out what I was telling people 20 pages ago..
With such a small reward per block nobody will mine this coin after the next two reward drops (to 1).
Only the botnets.
