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

Hey cryptohunter - believe me I'm hearing and really liking your insightful suggestions.

1. - Agree on the pools; I'm going to email them now.

2. Agree on trying to get the ball rolling on big, potentially profitable business ventures that are Quark centric.

3. I need to let Max comment on the wallet issue. Those suggestions - POS, etc are great.

4. Agree that ROI for big projects could self-propel by providing money for infrastructure, hiring, etc. I really like this suggestion.

5. I agree that this is a good venue to help organize. This forum provides a lot of exposure to potential investors, and I agree a lot more of the discussion should occur here.

Part of what we are trying to accomplish with the thunderclap campaign and associated Shaq campaign is to stir up interest in people regarding Quark again. Its been a little too quiet, and it is a VERY good coin for a number of reasons that could serve as a great foundation for a lot of payment related infrastructure. Its speed lends itself to point of service use. Its encryption both provides protection against attacks, and is a great marketing point. We're trying to spark public adoption which should get interest back in the coin, which should prompt services to start appearing. I totally agree that we should start brainstorming on services that have a fee component that could reward investment and provide salaries, etc. This is not lost on me, and I really encourage anyone with good ideas to start brainstorming here.

Hey yep i love the shaq thing 100% i think it's a great idea.

Also max has been great i mean qrk has been awesome from the start and is still a pleasure to use and one of the best coins around without doubt. I mean even the qrk clones have to try and latch on to the qrk name also. These coins i prefer to think now of them as tribute coins really.

However there is only so much one programmer can do. We need to bring in many more coders and get many more useful quark services going asap.

There are so many service where a small % can be returned to investor either to say a limit of 3x their investment then the % goes into the qrk future development fund. Or else the retain this % endless.

I mean endless return is going get people throwing qrk in the pot for development pot, show people a return on their investment and risk they will come.
