Yes, the Quark Foundation announced this initiative about a month ago. It's still in the planning stages. Meanwhile, qrk.coinmine.pl has gone from controlling 90% of the global hashrate to 95%. Most of Quark's current hashrate comes from botnets so the foundation pool may not do much good anyways. It's going to be a little difficult to convince new people to mine when Quark's block reward is 1 QRK ($0.039) and the total amount of all transaction fees for a 24hr period is about 0.52 QRK ($0.02). This is not going to end well. There has been almost no serious discussion by the community of the problems Quark is facing. Instead we have clowns like you and Kolin dancing around and pretending nothing is wrong and starting astroturf social media campaigns. I hope both of you will be able to sleep at night if the worst happens and all those people who invested in Quark because they trusted Kolin and Bill Still lose most of their investments.
oh look another sock puppet with a new account -
1. not my social media campaign , turns out people just like Quark , hey ?
2. "the worst happens" what? Quark catches your cat on fire? you drop your iphone in a puddle while distracted ? can you explain the worst happening? GoX revived with only Quark listed ?
you've never heard of a fallover pool? distributed checkpoints , all the market will see is a DDos (which is pretty much code for "Bank agent" attack these days anyhow)
then an attempted fork.
by the time its over we'll have Alex Jones talking about it, he'll be ready with an AR hunting you down ha ha . we'll tell him its the English ! : D
