If the economy is expanding, then yes, it does mean just that. The economy will be expanding with prices going down as long as the negative effects of deflation are being offset by, say, technological innovations (as it was throughout the 19th century), credit and tax policies, etc. In short, as long as producers profits aren't diminishing...

He metioned "hitting the pub" after a few of the comment replies, then later he said he'd be "wielding the ban hammer". I suppose he's either too busy drinking, or ban-hammering. I haven't seen my post appear, so he is either backlogged, drunk, deleted it, or all of the above.

Hmm, ive had a few problems and so have people I know in the forum..

I think Cryptsy will be better soon, as soon as the got up with the tickets and have added more servers.

Wtf is this that you have to do some tricks to be able to work with your money?!

Definitely not 50%. Should be much less than that amount. The richest 1% (somewhere around 2 to 3 million people) hold 42% of the wealth in the USA. So should be somewhere around 10-20%.

Never trade against the trend ....
Stupid.

Every single business decision in life is a "gamble".
In fact, millions of people gamble with their money in the banks everyday. Some get it all stolen.
The issue is how much the odds are stacked in your favor. That's what matters.

If Bitcoin needs to go to $1600 right now, to double people's current investments into profits, then take a look at how far Quark must move to accomplish the same thing.
Is it likely Quark will fall below .25 and stay there, or is it likely to go to .50 cents sometime soon. The gamble is also whether bitcoin will drop in value. Bitcoin is not likely to increase right away, by substantial margins. That would mean another 12 Billion would have to be invested for it to become worth $1600 each. The current market cap is pretty high for the amount of use it currently has in the marketplace based on vendors accepting it etc. Quark, on the other hand, is primed to go on the Chinese exchange soon, and it's heavily promoted by Keiser and Still, both respected in the underground and alternative news scenes. Quark is very likely to rise past .50 cents soon. So, it's practically no gamble at all. It's more like taking candy from a baby. 

I would be crying hearing that, if I did not stand to make a fortune, too.  
I increased my supply recently.

The nice thing is, the Capital i invested in Quarks was all profits from bitcoins. Only a fraction of my profits, too.
Now i'm making money off virtual money instead of hard earned capital.  

Timing is everything in this world.

Hello everyone,
   Just thought I would share this comparison. I think Quark Coin will return far more than bitcoin at this point.
Look at this,
   This morning, I invested 5.5 bitcoins into quark coins. The bitcoins were at $800 or so at the time.
Bitcoins went up $100 so the potential increase from bitcoin was $550 today.

   In comparison, I bought 41,000 Quark coins for my 5.5 bitcoins. I bought them at approx. .12 cents and they increased to .16 cents
My take today from Quark coins was $1640, while those same 5.5 bitcoins would have only netted me $550.

So I made 3 times as much investing today, into quark coins than I could have made with my bitcoins.
That's a fact you cannot afford to ignore.  


and now they are at .17 cents, which makes it $2050.00 - 

It will spike to 1 dollar for today and stabilize a little bit above 0.5 . its because its being added to the chinese btc38. it will rise more in 4 days that this will actually happen.

and that is the doom of this currency:

"Two features make Quark easier to use as a currency than Bitcoin. First is the larger amount of coin that will be placed in circulation - 247 million (plus an additional one million per year) compared to only 21 million ever for Bitcoin. This makes it possible to deal in whole units of currency, or at least large decimals, rather than thousandths of units, or out to the third and fourth decimal place, as is becoming standard with Bitcoin. Second, the annual inflation rate provides an additional motivation to actually spend Quarks rather than view them as an asset to hold or speculate on. "

i love how people go gravedigging when someone makes a strong stance on something that doesn't pan out. maybe that'll prevent people from trying to look like know-it-alls.

I have seen this a few times in the data files, yes! The feed reads the BTC-e api and adds anything that isn't a duplicate. It doesn't distinguish between good data and useless data. I will add a few lines to the new feed (v0.2.0) to validate the data before writing it.

To update you all on the progress of the new system; The new feed is near completion and the server feed IS completed. Soon I will get the server running and do some testing on the new feed. I don't have a release date as of yet (I have been out of town lately for business and have to go again next week), but I am working on it.

What a lot of angry holders also seem to be missing is that traders provide liquidity to the market. Without traders / market makers placing their limit orders, the price could have collapsed completely.
