I've realized mining bitquarks is a good way to stay warm.  Now that it's getting a little chilly, the heat exhaust on my broken down rig makes for a nice space heater!

Nice!  When did that come out?  I'll buy a few tickets each week just to show support.

The blackjack club down here has drawn some interest into BTQ.  We've got maybe 4 new wallet holders because of it.  They only use it for the local blackjack tournaments, just to play around, but it's something and it's a way of getting non-miners and non-technically adept people interested into crypto-currency.

If there are at least three people in an area, set up a table in a park or common area or campus, or beach or wherever and start playing blackjack and poker for bitquark.  Sure you're just passing around a few coins between friends, but it helps draw interest from new people.

How can you not want to get involved with bitQuark when she's involved?

That would be really good.  The problem is existing miners jump on a new coin as it comes out, mine the crap out of it to dump.  All the "hot" coins on c-cex getting a lot of attention and volume get delisted a few months later after everyone cashes out.  Really hurts the alt-coin market.

New interest in bitcoin is soft because it's been stuck in the $370 range for a while, so new interest in alt-coins is even softer.  The thing I like most about bitquark is the long term distribution.  That's why I'm sticking with it and the fact that there's a few of us using it in real life down in Florida makes it really fun.  I wish instead of that group trying to re-launch Quarkbar, they would put their efforts in bitQuark instead.  Quarkbar efforts will never go anywhere.  Scam coin to start, revived by community takeover, but slowly dying with the rest of the alt-coins.  Same with EBT, same with Karma, same with Moon, everyone should just join bitQuark. 

We have the sexiest members, the most dedicated developer, and most of us smell good too.

I can do it if no one else has.  I'll send you a watermarked proof for approval, and a password protected rar of final files.  If you like the watermarked proof I'll send you the password upon receipt of the BTC.  It will include JPG, PNG and PSD files.

I was thinking a good way to get people interested in bitquark might be maybe like a football (or any/all sports) betting pool.  If someone could create a site where we could pick a spread and the the winner gets paid the pool, minus a fee for the site expenses, that would be pretty neat.

This came up at our last bitquark blackjack tournament when we were talking about sports so I thought I'd share the idea with people here.

Holy shit anyone see the BTQ price/volume on c-cex.com today?

Tom you are a trip.  I've supposed to be getting the custom made bitquark blackjack chips next week.  Now we can pay the banker with btq, get chips and cash them im at the end of the night.  Should make running the bitquark bkackjsck group a lot smoother and allow us to expand to poker too.

Yeah the spinning coin like in the doge example will require someone to build a 3D model.  You can add some animated effects though easily to static PNG's though.

When you say "spinning" do you mean like this http://i.imgur.com/gwDGZqM.gif

For that you'll need a 3D model of a coin built.

If you want the black coin logo static with the border text rotating around the coin, I can do that for you pretty easily.

I've never been much into mining coins, I usually buy low sell high or hold to use.  Is there a hashrate chart for bitquark anywhere?  I have an old desktop with a nvidia gforce 210 graphics card in it.  I doubt I could mine much with it, but thought it could help to support the network.

Bitquark Blackjack and Hookers!  Bender approved!  Tomorrow 7 to 8 at the Sheridan Ocean Club commons room.  It's only 3 of us local bitquarkers right now, but I got a friend from work interested.  Hell if I have to give him a few btq, as long as he downloads the mobile wallet and get's into it!

This Friday a few of us are getting together for an in person bitquark blackjack tourney thanks to the dev getting us Android wallets!  Who needs mining equipment when you can count cards.

We got the blackjack and liqour, just need someone to supply the hookers!

Is this faucet site still active?  Looking to get more exposure for bitQuark digital currency and will promptly donate to get the faucet started.

Dear lord!  Sounds like another Mt.gox thing going on.  Thank god I withdrew all my currencies from MintPal last month.  Otherwise I'd be out about $120 in LTC and $60 in BTC at today's prices.  Not a lot, but still more than I'd care to lose.

Personally I never keep much on an exchange, just deposit coins I want to sell or trade for BTC then withdraw the BTC as soon as a sell occurs. The rest I keep in USB wallets that I only connect to a PC when I want to update the chain or move coins around.  I gripe about the tx fees I'm losing doing this, but it's not as bad as losing all my coins.

While I'm not a big fan of gov't regulation, I think I might like to see regulations for exchange licenses.  Right now anyone can download some free open source exchange script, install some [wallet]d software and make a legit looking exchange, after a certain point shutdown and keep all the coins.

I think eventually we'll see coin insurance, more coin escrow and legal services.

That having been said, it's not like a gov't or private bank never stole the peoples fiat currencies and it's not like any of us have never lost $20 bucks in the parking lot or had our wallet picked from our back pocket.

Any type of money can be lost.

I don't know if anyone else keeps track of prices "officially" but it seems like BTC has gone from $600 to $300 over the last couple months but BTQ has been bouncing between only 200 per $1 to 350 per $1 over the last couple of months.

Also, BTQ trade volume on c-cex.com today hit 0.04 BTC.  It usually hovers around 0.01 BTC of volume.

very nice!

I like that you can search a wallet address and find out if there is sufficient funds.  Let's say if I want to sell my car for $2,000 or 600,000 BTQ I could verify the seller has sufficient BTQ without wasting any time.

Then I could "donate" the car to him upon successful BTQ transfer so everyone pays less taxes and I still get $2000 worth of BTQ.

works well except for:

 - tip/donate causes a crash

 - exchange rates not available.

 - 404 Not Found when you try to browse the transaction with the built in block explorer which sends you to http://explorer.bitquark.info/tx/[transaction id]

Other than that I managed to send myself some.  I still prefer the cold storage usb wallet, but now I can keep some bitquarks on me at all times for regular use when I'm out.

The transaction showed up instantly but it took about 7 minutes to get 6 confirms.

I don't know how popular it is everywhere else, but there are at least 3 of us here in South Florida who've adopted it and use it so this is very very welcome.

Thanks!

I keep hearing the coin needs more professional marketing, how's this basic infographic for you?  I am a bitQuark believer!

I'll try to make an instruction sheet/PDF for the bitQuark USB Wallet with graphics for the people who might not be so technically inclined next weekend with the same style.
