Answer from FreiExchange when I asked for the whereabouts of our 9950 QRK, which we wanted to transfer almost 3 days ago:

Quote
Hi

Currently we have to wait, if the conflicts resolves, the transactions will be picked up in the memopool.
There was a few transactions comming in after we put the hot wallet in service mode and those transactions came in with conflicts.

Biggest issue is that when you check on the connecting peers
"synced_headers" : 7247885,
"synced_blocks" : 7242632,

They are all stuck on block ~632 but headers are much higher. I also tested with the connection ip nuttynoah on bitcointalk with no luck either, we are still stuck on the ~2632 block.

If the transactions goes away from the mempool, we will re-issue it so that none of your coins are lost, but atm i think the devs are not quite sure what to do. I have not heard back from them after i raised the question the other day when you where first in touch.

The support of FreiExchange at least does a good job.

In the case of network problems
Only two things are needed to keep moving forward
1. Connect to the node at the latest height
2. Restart the wallet
This problem will eventually be solved, but for the time being we still need to be in such an environment

How long will be this time and when will be the problem solved with the double spend stuck transactions?

The master nodes seem to run stable at the moment.

What is with bug bounties for staying behind this project? We lost already money, so it would be fair to get at least some bounties for this.

Yesterday I sent a transaction to qbtc. now still is 0 confirmation Huh
We send nearly 2 days ago 1200 QRK to QBTC. In the blockchain there are over 2700 confirmations, QBTC shows only 34.
Our 1200 QRK at QBTC are now booked, after over one day.

But the payment over 9950 QRK from FreiEXchange to QBTC has still disappeared and no reaction/action from FreiExchange or the developers.

Unfortunately it's weekend again and as always the developers won't do something.

Since the devs of QRK only use us as cheap testers, who have to pay for them themselves, it would be fair to spend bug bounties at least. The motivation of the devs seems more and more questionable.

Freiexchange contacted me earlier and i have passed on the details to the dev.
And when does something happen? The transaction over 9950 QRK has now disappeared since nearly 2 days. According to FreiExchange this error has to be fixed by the QRK Devs.

This is not how you can work and deal with your "partners". One has more and more the feeling that one is not partner but annoying opponent.

We are looking for a solution
Any node that can connect to the mine pool should try to restart the wallet to synchronize the blocks
38.27.97.24
When will our transactions be released? We have 2 transactions that have "disappeared". According to FreiExchange there is this problem because of double spending.

It is 1.200 QRK from one of our wallets to QBTC, with the TXID 71b64e48e94e8789900a6d18cb6afad324951581f2b425c996666eb2dff4f7fc and 9.950 QRK (after fees) from FreiExchange to QBTC with the TXID (specified by FreiExchange) 3f4d5cb89da4e2da962baf7754cee3fc0626a57171da7254e3ad934f39b048e2, which does not exist in the blockchain.

It's not a lot of money, but if it doesn't work on a small scale, we won't even try it on a large scale.

It's nice when the blockchain runs again, but if the reward transfers don't work, it's worthless.

As we are the test rabbits for the QRK masternodes, it might be fair to appropriate to offer some bounties. We would not sell these but use them as MN.

In this moment we get the first reward again.
But seems to stay with one for now. Amazing that there are so many new master nodes with these problems. That lets assume, that several master nodes come from the dev environment.

After adding following nodes

47.52.19.237
49.66.116.86
47.92.129.82

PC Wallet stuck again at block 7243026..... no block source available. also VPS stuck at block 7242799... Huh

But masternode status is success... What does it means.

Also I see Quark Explorer is working fine and up to date.



QRK Blockchain works again since 3 hours, we will look how long it works now. All our masternodes work now with this 3 peers/nodes. Last reward was yesterday at 19.13 o'clock MEST, but we restartet our masternodes only now. Our QRK payment (10.000 QRK) from FreiExchange is still frozen. Yesterday transferred QRK (1.200 QRK) to QBTC is also not booked. It meant for us 11.200 QRK blocked and we paid 15 VPS for more than 12 hours without getting a reward, this is not real interesting.

It is real good that the masternodes from other coins do not have this problems.

What's up with the template?

08:12:04

getblockcount
08:12:04

7243026
08:12:14

getblocktemplate
08:12:14

CreateNewBlock() : TestBlockValidity failed (code -1)


I guess it's best to turn this thing off and use the 3GB of memory for something else while we're being ignored.

I fear the devs have not understood that a blockchain has to run 24/7 and also has to be supported at night and on weekends to come to success. QRK has a lot of potential, but the devs simply don't have enough resources. We decided to observe the project for another 2 weeks and then decide if we want to support it further. I think we should give these 2 weeks to the devs.

But it's also annoying for us. At the moment we lose money, if there are rewards, they are getting less and less. Also withdrawals stuck, which makes paying the rewards problematic.

I had to laugh when it was written that the pool operator was not near his pool. I've been mining for a long time, I've never heard anything like it. You can manage a pool remotely as usual and there must be someone 24/7 who can do support and maintenance.

No new blocks since block 7242799 (more than 6 hours ago), the problems don't get smaller.

Thanks for the answers.

The MN now seem to be running stable. Thanks for that!

But now unfortunately another annoyance comes, which was announced, where I already pointed out the problem and now do it again: 980 or 1000 confirmations for a transfer to the Exchanges is too long. I.e. a transfer takes 8-9 hours.

We actually wanted to set up a lot more QRK MN because we believe in the concept and history of QRK. But if we have to wait for 8-9 hours to sell the rewards , then unfortunately this is not interesting.  In this time the price can change so much, or Exchanges can suspend the transfer and the trade, that this becomes more and more incalculable beside the past problems.

FreiEXchange wrote that they do this only because of the recommendation of the QRK developers. Why don't you give advice to wait 5,000 or 10,000 confirmations? That would be much safer and nobody would trade or sell QRK again.

You can't pass your problem with hackers on to the community and pass it on to stakeholders.

Every problem will be solved
It takes time
Quark have lost a lot in it's long sleep

If there is something you feel you need to improve

You can leave a message.

We will enhance them in sequence
[/quote]

Unfortunately there are now problems with the transfers. First our transfer was not booked at FreiExchange. After the correction the coins cannot be transferred.

FreiExchange has set our wallet to "maintenance" and now wants to talk to your devs. You will understand that this does not increase our trust.

We have 15 QRK MN running, the behaviour is different. Some are running without problems, at some it helps to restart at other it comes to "Missing" and we have to wait for 2 hours until we get rewards again.

We also have many other MN of other coins running, where all these problems do not exist.

Please come to a solution and a version that runs without big problems. We accept that updates and changes can cause problems, but with QRK the problem will soon be normal. We thought that version 10.7.3 would solve the problem, but now there are problems again with the new version. So it might be understandable that people are slowly switching from 7.3 to 7.4.

I don't know how the developers designed it

But at present, I can't see the node 7.0/7.2/7.3 in my 7.4 wallet

I think it may need to be upgraded to 7.4 to stay on the main chain

Are you kidding me?

I changed all MN and my wallet to 7.4 less than one hour after the message came that there is a new version 7.4. I already wrote this several times. All MNs are configured the same and have the same peers, they are only in different countries (Europe, Asia and America). With version 7.3 there were hardly any problems, with version 7.4 there are again many problems.
Also from the beginning I only saw a part of my MN in the blockchain (https://chainz.cryptoid.info/qrk/#!network) under 7.4, although all MN are absolutely identical (except the private key of course).

I explained this all already before in other posts. So maybe you should ask your developers what the problem is and not declare us for idiots.


I believe this is a temporary problem caused by version switching

I mentioned the need for more than 51% of the new version consensus



Before POS is produced, 7.4 will have the problem of caton

However, after POS output, 7.4 is stable, while caton's is 7.3

I don't have any problems with the catons anymore

---
And 7.4 is our target (POW/POS+MN)



Thanks for the answers.

The MN now seem to be running stable. Thanks for that!

Three 0.10.7.4 masternodes synchronized and stable for 12 hours. 79 Masternodes Visible.
The reducing connection count on Quark explorer could be an indication of the load being distributed more evenly through the network.

Yeah, now also our masternodes ran all night without any problems.

Only the rewards are decreased, because of the increase of the number of masternodes. But here are too often too many problems and the developers don't really seem to know why.  And for these problems, the ROI is getting to low now. There are more exciting masternodes.
