Quark is going to be huge: It is incredibly fast and it is the most secure coin there is, at a time when the security of cryptocoins is becoming a major issue, and transaction speed will become an issue for any coin that wants to move beyond enthusiasts and into the mainstream.

Fast doesn't really mean anything, you have to wait for more confirmations anyway to ensure a secure transaction. More confirmations = more time. It's a zero-sum game. Darkcoin has 11 rounds of different hashing so you could argue that that is the most secure, not quark. You're trying really hard to get people interested, but the fact remains that it's mined out. No one wants to mine a mined out coin, and no one wants to buy off bagholders.

Fast IS important. If you are using a point of service device to purchase in a store, you can get several confirmations within 30s-1min for Quark, unlike other coins. This provides a close approximation to using a debit or credit card and provides the merchant security and insurance against fraudulent transactions.

Darkcoin will never get widely accepted. The name screams black market, as does the anonymity which will cause mainstream adopters to shy away. It will have a large and important niche - but in a different sector than Quark. We can, and desire to co-exist.

Everyone keeps screaming that the coin is mined out. Are they in this to make a quick buck or to establish a viable payment system? Quark has real benefits over bitcoin for merchants and service providers. It is a quality product, and if you want to make money, you can invest in it as it increases its market share. Also, the Quark Foundation mining pool is coming down the pipeline, as well as an auto mining wallet which will use a small proportion of your CPU power to mine and support the network. As the adoption increases, and the average number of wallets open at any time increases, the Quark hash rate will increase on its own, ensuring its survival.

Support a Quality product and service. Support Quark.

Yes spread this everywhere, we should get influential or those with lots of Facebook/twitter friends to support it. Or influential people in the business/tech industry as long as the social reach will be high. I send a message to Vitaly he makes prank video on Youtube has 800k subscribers on FB, hopefully he will support, oh well it's a try. Lets go Thunderclap!!

Simple we give out some qrks to people to help spread this on social networks... we just need someone to run it. We start a pot and give out coins for people helping to promote this.

Really we should already have a website where quark owners can sign up and get notifications ....we then sent out the message we are starting this campaign... qrk owners all help. Problem is most store their qrk and do not keep appraised with qrks progress.

Be good to get coding new wallet, where the quark owners could get messages pop up for stuff like this, latest qrk news.... with enough funding is this kind of thing possible?

We are trying to centralize the news on the official Quark website - that's what I've been posting about for the last 1.5 weeks... I agree though - I will talk with James about adding a button to subscribe to email updates.

On the wallet - we'll have to see. There are more pressing things like the mining pool.

Setting up a facuet with a Thunderclap link might work... hmmm...

Let's get the pool to put up alerts for latest qrk projects too.

The thing i am trying to get across the most is that there are some wealthy people that like qrk, show them some returns and i am certain they could be persuaded to fund all types of projects.

POS added, wallet serious upgrade with more features , messages and news, even trading. Advertising for businesses that adopt qrk in the wallet... the wallet really has to become the hub...people leave the wallet open constantly, it is news regarding qrk advancements, it is trading, it is advertising, it has some sophisticated mining stress controls. People leave it going and it has intensity controls so it only taxes their system 10%-15%... they don't notice it but are helping secure the network. They are rewarded for this. So much could be done with the wallet but it will cost quite a bit in dev. However if there were some good services through the wallet that charged a very small fee....those fee's are split to those that paid for this development.

Now to fund this kind of development is hard to reward the people that contribute and not just everyone owning qrk. Most people do not help projects, they do not donate. We need to give incentive.
With service based projects that charge a fee of a couple of % it is easy to pay back the contributors ... this way there will be plenty of funds for new projects... to hire coders, designers ...whatever we need.

I agree though for the most part people at ground level are not aware of the higher priorities and goals for the qrk foundation. A qrk membership site or mailing list is essential.

Qrk has a big community but for the most part is not working together ... with things like marketing there is a lot that can be done but we need to co-ordinate and reach qrk supporters when new campaigns are starting.

A lot of qrk development goes on without most of the qrk community being aware...qrk news and praise of those helping needs to be pushed out to the qrk community.

This thread is a good place to discuss projects and new development , and organise things like the fb thunderclap.
