Re: [ANN] [QRK] Quark | Core 0.10 upgrade - New Self Moderated Thread
When do you think the fork will be?
At this point, working out the kinks. Never really sure how long it takes to bug smash ya know?

Re: [ANN] [QRK] Quark | Core 0.10 upgrade - New Self Moderated Thread
Welcome to Quark Redux everyone. There is starting to be a lot of good information and news starting to flow. So I wanted to take this opportunity to re invite any and all over to the website forum for Quark at
https://Quarktalk.cc
We are trying to promote good, honest, and productive conversation. If you have any ideas that you would like to give, partake in good general discussions, need the beginners area to help new Quarkers out, or have mining questions and comments, head on over to the forums and spend some time! Many of the links and answers that you may need are there, and we will be updating it early and often.
Looking forward to seeing you there, let us know where we can get better!
Ace.

Quark has much brighter days ahead and is progressing forward. Looking forward to staking Quark and looking forward to the strengthened network security POS/POW hybrid. Very positive times ahead of Quark I personally believe, but that is just my humble opinion.
Onward and upwards, lets keep moving forward.
Onward and upwards, lets keep moving forward.
Absolutely, there are a lot of good people engaged with Quark redux now. Once the update comes the community can kick-on and get active.
There are unfortunately a few people from the initial phase with unfinished business and a hatchet or two to bury. Their slanging matches tend to be between themselves so I imagine they'll create their own dedicated thread and busy themselves there.
To quote cryptohunter "When we create a new thread to launch the new version of quark please make it self moderated.
Then we can just moderate deliberate trolls out and actually if you ban them from a thread their accounts can be deleted for continued posting in that thread."
There is a good community starting to form on Slack and at the cc site, for those wishing to be involved and do what they can in any shape or form, come and join us.
Well said.

@Thule
I posted something similar to this on Quark forum, but as I feel I may be getting a misrepresentation here, I figured I needed to say something here as well.
For all to see, @mcphervi will confirm....
I am simply a moderator for the forum. I felt, I wanted to help in any way that I could, and try and help the forum stay cleaned up and positive. It seemed like very few were doing all. Since I have no code skills, I figured moderating the forum was a way to help the "smarter guys and gals than me" not have to waste there time on things other people could do. I do not get paid a cent, and I have very few Quark at this point. Although I try to buy some when I can. I do not sit in a board room with Devs and all I am doing is donating my time to try and help in a positive way.
So, to all others who read this.... I am only donating my time to try to help, nothing more. I am not a well...a punching bag, and I am not withholding updates in which I don't have.
Be Kind and Respectful,
Ace.

He is totally right. And I hope you guys understand, there are more people involved with Quark that were not around 3 years ago. And those people, will and do get hurt by your negative comments. When things like this occur, it hurts those people, and their coins, and their work. It is a shame people feel the way they do. It stands to hurt no one if the coin makes a comeback. Please try, in all things that we do, to be kind, stay patient, and when criticism needs to surface, make it constructive, so that we can grow and get better. Even when it seems as though there is no helping someone, it only makes you a better person for it.

This in fact is good and bad. But simply put, if investors are interested in Quark, than there is a market for this coin. Proven by the spike in investors. MOVE FORWARD!
Ace.
Yes, I agree good and bad - I wish that the BTC trading pair on BTC38 had been kept alongside the CNY. However, this is a good thing for Chinese investors, so overall a good thing I think.
Re: Moving forward. I totally agree and we will. The team is also aware that we need to restore confidence as witnessed in the last several pages of this thread - I am being careful with my updates and actions to have concrete footing for making statements. The update is being tested right now and I'd imagine in the next couple weeks many of the bugs will be dealt with and we can finalize specifics. I'd like that to be done before we make any big moves - this update for me is crucial, as it restores network security to Quark and in my mind deals with the major failing of the initial protocol.
This sounds great. And I'm sure I speak for more than me when I say thank you for this kind of update and level head you most obviously have! lol!
Moving Forward,
Ace.
Hi everyone!
I just wanted to update everyone as its been a little while and there have been several updates in the Quark landscape recently.
First of all, the Quark Android Wallet was updated by Hashengineering on June 21st - check it out here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hashengineering.quarkcoin.wallet&hl=en
Secondly, BTC38 has elected to shut down their entire BTC trade pair section as they felt that there is too much volatility with BTC as well as the uncertainty related to a potential upcoming hard fork per their communication - HOWEVER this has now meant that Quark and the other coins in this section have now been moved to direct trading vs Chinese Yuan (CNY; http://www.btc38.com/trade_en.html?btc38_trade_coin_name=qrk), which has played a role in the recent price rally we've seen.
Lastly, after a couple of setbacks, we now have been working with the pacatum coding group (http://btc.pacatum.com/) and they have worked diligently to complete the lions share of the coding related to the coming update which will change Quark from POW to Hybrid POW/POS. In addition to this, they have also included masternodes into this codebase update! The code has been submitted to our github (https://github.com/quark-project/quark) and is now currently in testing. I will keep people updated in the coming weeks regarding the progress on this, along with the a timeframe for the planned hard fork which will be required to complete its implementation. Importantly, this update will change the inflation rate in order to adequately pay the various stakeholders in the ecosystem - ie. miners, stakers and masternode holders, and will add a development fund. Although not yet fully delineated, the likely breakdown will be approximately 1.5% POW, 1.5% POS (split between masternodes and POS stakers), and 0.5% development. These values are approximate and I will also update once these are finalized.

Do you think these updates would lead to Quark being listed on more popular exchanges?
I believe Bittrex are pay-to-list.
Certainly that is in the plans. I'd like concrete details on the update and finalized code before approaching them though. In the meantime, BTC38 is actually a nice high volume exchange and do in fact have an english trading site. Our current 24 hours volume is 336 BTC, 99% of which is from their site (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/quark/#markets).

I have an issue of my own though hopefully somebody can help with.
On a newer laptop I've downloaded a new wallet and replaced the wallet.dat file with the one from my old wallet.
There is still over three years to catch up on however I had earlier transactions than that which I would have thought would be shown by now. Is this a sign that something has gone wrong or does it need to sync right up to date?

Can anybody tell me whether I need to wait for my new wallet to completely sync before the transactions from my old wallet show in the balance?
Ah, I've worked it out.
I had renamed the backup wallet.dat file as something else which caused the new wallet to create a new wallet.dat even though I had already deleted it.
Deleting that and renaming the original back to wallet.dat has solved the problem and I see my quarks.
I thought I'd type this in case anybody has the same problem in the future.
Nice! Glad you got it worked out. I was perusing the quarktalk forums, but I could not find anytning to help you.
Glad you are good to go!

Quark the fidget spinner coin 
What's the story with Shaq Fu 2?
What's the reason for sudden price spike?
What's the story with Shaq Fu 2?What's the reason for sudden price spike?
The spike is from BTC38 moving Quark from the BTC exchange to the CNY exchange. A sign of a higher price ceiling. On the new side of the exchange, you can use yuan to directly buy Quark, where before you had to purchase Bitcoin and then do the purchase of Quark with the bitcoin. No story with Shaq Fu at this time.
Quark dev team has restarted work and are close to a new POW/POS algorithm. Which we assume is why BTC38 has made their change. It looks like there are better days ahead.
Hope this helps...

Quark
I was recommending Quark way back in July 2013. It's since appreciated 50X. Let's see if the case still stacks up.
Q1: Inflation: The inflation problem is solved, most of the coins have already been issued and the inflation rate is now 0.5%. You'll hear people complaining about the 'pre-mine' that's a really bullish sign. People don't complain about coins with unfair pre-mines, they ignore them. If there are complainers, it means they want in . . . but . . . yesterday. Well done Quark. (3/3)
Q2: Development: Community effort based on donations same problem as Bitcoin (0/3)
Q3: Decentralization: Quark attempts to solve the hardware centralization problem through complexity. The proof-of-work algorithm is complex, so it's difficult to program for GPUs and GPUs are poorly suited to that kind of work. It'll slow down FPGA and ASIC development too, but they'll show up once the reward is high enough. Overall, a good effort (2/4)
Quark Verdict (5/10) There are still possible 100X returns with this coin.
