Hi guys,

i am a top 29 quark holder with almost 1m quarks. I invested around $10k in Litecoin when they were around $2. I had around 6000 Litecoin which i sold all at between $24 and $26 each making $150k and exchanged them to BTC.

Before Quark i have been active in BTC-e and thats where i found out about Quark. Everyone was talking about it. I researched a little and was convinced to go big on it. I loved the brand, the logo, and the fact that pretty well known people in the industry were talking about it.

I don't know if you guys remember that picture at the forums someone posted which stated that there was a 100 BTC buy order for quark, well that was my order. I bought 500k quark at 0.00019 which made the price shoot up to 0.00032. So greed got me and i started to hold but then Bitcoin crashed and quark went with it. After that it went worse and 2 things that bothered me was kolins behaviour and developers inactivity especially lack of interaction with the community, but somehow i kept my fate and bought another 500k at lower prices.

So as you see i have lost around $140k (if i would sell) on quark, would i have been in Bitcoin i would have lost $50k. Meanwhile i have been giving around 40k quark to different projects like thunderclap where i gave away around 25k quark and apart from that i have been customising Quark subreddit to make it look nice. Notice that i'm just a trader and have no skills in coding and such so it's the best i can do. You might wonder why i don't give away much more, well the answer is simple i have already lost a lot and i'm certainly not rich in my private life. Although i still have fate in it and refuse to sell at these prices.

Regarding proof of burn i must say it sound pretty interesting, but doubts are naturally showing because it will be a new coin and will it be attractive amongst all these new coins, although with all these new scam coins coming out if one of them is not a scam with active and trustful dev team it will attract people. On the other hand quark already has settled itself and pretty well known, but then again as we know there are some issues with quark. I must say that i have seen great core members like quarkfx, vic, coinmama and couple others.

Hey Netnox,

I really feel for guys like you. I got in much later and barring a price correction have lost a decent chunk of cash, but nowhere near what you have. Glad to have you on board...hope we can get Quark back to a reasonable market cap:)

Hey netox that's nice but, had :

1. the Developer not designed Quark in the way it was designed

and

2. I not introduced it to a real market (not a circle jerk of Bitcoin and Litecoin)

Quark would not exist now, people don't put capital into currency because they do or don't "like" people - free market currency is related to connected energy so productive capacity.

I've always only ever worked towards those goals, the whole market is developing Bitcoin looks like a huge stagnating Shell form where i sit, whereas development is occurring in other alternative markets.

Quark's future as a continually developing protocol is pretty great i think.
