Last week (16FEB) I send 0.7 QRK to my Android Wallet.
When I look to the block explorer it indicates the following:

Send 999.9 QRK

When I click on the 999.9 QRK, it indicates that 0.7 QRK is send to my android wallet and 999.2 QRK to the following address: Qf5NfxzS4e7ymMMtw9BDNp85PUKro84yHX

That address is unknown for me.

According to the block explorer there is 999.2 QRK less in my wallet, than according to the paper wallet.
When I check the balance of Qf5NfxzS4e7ymMMtw9BDNp85PUKro84yHX this is 999.2 QRK.

What happened and can this be explained?

It sounds like you accidentally set up a transaction fee on your desktop wallet. It's also possible that you downloaded something and someone is trying to steal your Quarks.

Hash Engineering gave an excellent explanation on this- More can also be found on a thread started by Tigger over at the Quark Forum:
Here is a quote:
"Hidden Addresses and Send Transactions
When you first install a new wallet, it comes with a pool of 100 pre-defined addresses. Initially, only one address will be shown when you click on the Receive button, but the other 99 addresses are indeed there, but they are hidden in your address pool. If you are on the Receive screen and you click on New Address, your wallet will grab one from the pool and display it on your screen. Now you see two addresses and you have 98 left in the pool.

However, when you Send coins to another address, in order to make your transaction somewhat anonymous and not broadcast your entire wallet balance to the world, extra transactions are generated on the block chain using some of your hidden addresses. The following, is a simplified example of what happens when you issue a Send transaction:

The amount of coins you are sending are deducted from your current balance and sent to the address you specified and your remaining balance is automatically sent back to one of your hidden addresses from the pool. For example, lets say you are someone named Sam and you only have one wallet receive address the you labeled Sam1 and you have 5000 coins. You want to send 200 coins to your friend Sally, whose address is XYZ. 200 coins are sent to address XYZ and the remaining 4800 coins are sent back to one of your hidden pool addresses. Your wallet shows the correct balance of 4800 coins and you still only see the Sam1 address on your receive screen, but the 4800 coins are actually in a hidden address that is associated or grouped with your Sam1 address.

||===>200 XYZ
5000 Sam1=====> ||
||===>4800 HiddenAddressFromPool(Sam1)

Clear as mud, right? Not to worry - this is not an issue under normal circumstances and you can easily display all of the addresses that were automatically pulled from the pool and grouped with your visible addresses. "

(He put a lot of work into this research after also initially becoming alarmed that it looked like coins were missing or misplaced-It is a great tutorial on the workings of the desktop wallet!!)

Coinmama, this is just what I was afraid of.
My wife shopping for shoes, my children to the movies all requesting for my QRKs. Then I will end with zero QRKs before the end of the month Tongue

I will remove this feature from their wallets. lol

SilverMetal, let your family spend your Quarks, it will give you joy!! Cheesy
