Thule, you have no clue what you're talking about. DI and you are basically the same, 2 insane trolls wasting everyone's time in the end.

Thule, no one works for Quark, we're not an organization we don't have to do anything but adhere to this protocol by using it and mining. You are here to spread FUD and make profit, I'm here as I believe in crypto values which you clearly don't. All you care about is we do something(create assets) so that the price to artificially bubble so you can dump the coins like you have done before. Again, you're not the center of the universe, no one cares about why you wasted the last 100 pages of this thread just so you can do basically nothing, perhaps that has something to do with the money you lost and again no one cares, no one forced you to buy anything and no one should force the community to create anything but support the coin in any way they seem fit(hoarding, selling to better distribute, mining to keep the security, simply using quark)

You're simply spreading FUD @Thule. You claim you are a quark supporter but now you show your true colors. As I said no one forces anyone to buy quarks, you're making the assumption that the community doesn't exists but just because you got out of it doesn't mean everything is gone, you're not the center of the universe. Just because you aren't with us anymore doesn't mean the worlds stops.

No one forced you to buy Quark, no one forced you to do anything for Quark, you were simply trying to make a buck and you failed, too bad but no one cares because true believers in a principle don't care about profit. I simply believe the Quark fundamentals are and have remained much stronger than other coins and the fact the protocol will become stronger and safer will be even a bigger reason to stick around. I think many of us here feel the same way and thats why we haven't given up like you did.

I see in the last 100 pages your obsession with "DI" still persists and accuse others of being him but why don't you tell us who you really are because I have a good feeling you're part of the early adopters who tried to influence the lead developer on giving up his credentials to you and your crew so you can change the Quark code and once that didn't happened you started to spread FUD and now after so many years you continue to do so like a 10-yo. Just stop, no one cares about you and the vicious circle you have created in your head about this coin.

Thule, there's always been a strong spam protection on quarktalk, including recaptcha since the inception. You're also parading lots of false information and although you may think you're trying to help, you basically work in the entirely opposite direction by throwing out completely exhausted topics that were long debunked but for some reason you seem to think they're still part of the conversation nowadays. I never heard of a scam coin that had a developer working for so long to maintain and upgrade its code.

Once this planned upgrade to Pow/Pos we'll also be getting around 4% yearly inflation so if you want to support the coin just start mining it by using cloud mining or your own PC etc, or just keep a node alive and thats the proof of support, we don't need to hold hands on forums in order to show we're active.

I don't like MUE fundamentals, I like those of Quark and I don't think its bigger than it is. In fact I treat it as a small project that only me and few dozens others use and why would I switch to another protocol that does exactly the same or another protocol to which principles I don't adhere? Yes our developer is not very active but thats why its a personal and the most independent coin out there, its like you creating your own coin and having your friends use it but because you're not really a developer you can't update it so often(how many hard forks did the boys at Doge to their coin? who would've thought the users trust so easily their developers? they're not your friends you know or your employees...) I don't think of Quark of anything more that in practical terms. Oh and my SSD(fucking Vertex don't ever buy from them...) with my wallet on it crashed yesterday, my fortune was 14,000QRK btw so I could've joined you as of yesterday or if I manage to recover it  But just as a curiosity why do you think Quark is worth two and half more than MUE? 

yea anyone wants MUE ? 

bizzyb, I'm sure you've heard everyone wants a part of the remaining quarkers, first were the Cloak team, then some kind of Colin coin whatever they were called, now you guys... just Good luck..

Hoarders are always good but the number of them should continue to grow, not stagnate like it does on Quark. Its unfortunate but like Bitcoin, its an experiment and hopefully we'll get to see how it ends/flourish.

A fost odată, într-o pivniță răcoroasă, plină de mirosuri florale, un strigoi gingaș. Acesta era atât de beat, încât mama lui nu îl mai lăsa afară. Totuși, surorile sanatoriului sunt bețive de mult sânge de capră neagră și s-au aliat cu strigoiul. Alianța lor a antamat zmeul dizgrațios cu celule teroriste în pivnița minerului vecin. Conexiunile venale erau apăsătoare și începuseră să nuanțeze filonul emoțional.

Oare florile zigomorfe transcend gingășia prin gratiile ineluctabile ale întregului sanatoriu? Fie surorile înfierbântă spanac, fie strecoară cârnați de casă. Strigoiul visa uneori gagici, alteori pe el cu Ileana dezbrăcați de inhibiții ancestrale practicând arta străveche a acupuncturii.

Eeeei, acum începe metamorfoza monedelor de aur în povestea noastră despre strigoiul alcoolist. Comoara, dar și gagicuțele, se transformară în biți. Biții erau stocați criptat doar cu un algoritm rudimentar, încât era atât de simplu să facă cineva bruteforce și să fure intreaga cantitate de aur digital.

Strigoiul, pe timpul acela n-avea interes să învețe criptografie, mulțumindu-se să taie cu sfială acele frunze la umbra nucului din veranda.
Insa totul era frumos aranjat dar nu, Ileana nesătulă de scandal crypto-galactic a formatat SSD-ul ascuns in vagin cu grijă, urlând :
"Pfuai, intra-r-ar HDD-ul în rack adânc cât Marianele Ferentariului din Bucale, astfel gargantuescul rămâne vorace. Totusi, POHUI!"

Dar algoritmul fiind criptat țărănește, Ileana înțelege rostul utilizării acesteia.

Acum verișoara strigoiului o freca la rece în draci cu neschimbatul ei armasar focos, confundându-l cu Fat Frumos calare pe matura diesel. Ea se trezi cu o idee geniala de a face Ileanei un mare bairam cocalaresc cu shaorma si mici din carne de lamă Gillette-Mach 3 cu Kobe.
 
Daca vrea sa gaseasca metoda prin care sa recupereze tot continutul criptat, Ileana se spala in galeata vecinului rostind "muie retardatilor" timp de 10 minute.

Fat Frumos cel voinic si calul lui obosit au pus la suflet o noua dorinta arzatoare de munca constiincioasa, perversa si versata pentru a improspata respiratia calului obosit.

Comoara ascunsa în vagauna din muntele apropiat de luna virgina în crater, era neatinsă de lumina soarelui maret...

Insa, cineva din Cluj, liliputan fiind a mituit militieni corupti si incompetenti cu litecoin. Fara bani si fara griji a crezut ca poate sa combine multe tranzactii fraudulente si anonime pentru a pacali pe pinguinii "mamifere" lipsite de ratiune si logica coerenta. Astfel a inceput sa puta treaba rau de tot incat militienii au dat bir cu fugitii ascunzandu-se dupa fustele "doamnelor" de companie care frecventau centura de pe marginea Bucurestiului infloritor si cochet ca Ferentari-ul plin de "diversitate" coloristica rafinata. Acum militienii corupti miros a pasarici parfumate si nespalate dornici de castiguri usoare si rapide provenite din activitati evazioniste. Acum toti viseaza la gagici paroase si musculoase care sa satisfaca poftele carnale si masochiste generatoare de boli venerice care ii va entuziasma pe nerasuflate de tot. Un intreprinzator marxist pune bazele unei afaceri dubioase cu bitcoin contrafacut şi reuseste sa pacaleasca naivii prin inselaciune si amenintare astfel incat ajunge la sume fabuloase si dezvolta un sistem sofisticat de criptare de date.

Garcea cu bulanul si baticul in plete desuiete fluturand in vânt scarpinandu-se in dos cu bastonul devine interesat de bitcoin si isi cumpara un Antminer performant cu care sa mineze crypto-moneda digitala avand nevoie de bani pentru curve focoase si nespalate care abia asteapta sa il jecmaneasca de avutie. In acest timp Bula mare afacerist de cartier, vindea Bitcoin in piata si se lauda cu banii castigati la scoala, spre oftica colegilor de clasa care erau foarte invidiosi pe succesul lui rasunator acestia isi propun sa il jefuiasca de bitcoini.

Dar Garcea baiat destept, ii uimeste pe toti prin ingeniozitatea intelectuala de care da dovada si de perspicacitatea iesita din comun pentru un cerebel inexistent si nefunctional, incat si el ramane mut de uimire când intelege inteligenta incontestabila, rafinata si stralucitoare. Ajungand foarte bogat Garcea, deschide buzunarul si il flutura in stilul lui Copos cel hapsan si egoist cu un aer magulitor plin de superioritate enervanta, politaiul nostru ametit scoate mana goala ranjind fasolea sfidator ameninta cu bastonul invartindu-l deasupra capului pe toti cei care ii contesta autoritatea de om al legii si aplica cateva bastoane in freza potolind prostimea care argumenteaza logic si rational si amenintand cu bataia pe cei indobitociti de comunism si socialism. Intr-o pestera intunecoasa un grup de bipezi pune la cale un plan diabolic pentru a devaloriza bitcoin-ul insa planul esueaza si bipezii sunt castrati si aruncati in piscină. Intre aceștia,

took them ages to upgrade.. disappointing but at least its fixed!

Quark algo 2.8% because ?

Just did a fresh install on a Ubuntu 14  x64 version and I encountered no issues, I also use it on Windows 64bit and again no connectivity issues. I use this conf http://quarktalk.org/resources/quark-core-wallet-configuration-file.14/ btw and bootstrap.dat contains the first year+ of blocks which gets installed in half an hour vs 12-24 hours without it.

great post Hilux74, I wish there was a like button on here 

Yes solo mining should done by anyone using the wallet, at the minimum speed it shouldn't bother them in the background. Just to remind everyone of the solo mining contenst going on at: http://quarktalk.org/pages/mining_jackpot/ Good luck!

yes they were on the same fork with the rest of us http://yaamp.com/explorer?id=305&height=1623695 before 11th january, right about when we first had our first report of this issue: http://quarktalk.org/threads/mining-drop.1059/

They need to upgrade to 0.9.2.3 version which is the most popular at the moment: https://bitinfocharts.com/quarkcoin/ with 40% nodes using it, or at least downgrade to 0.8.x version

Where are the pool owners of yaamp ??

the last one is just so cute though, he keeps repeating same story over and over again, hopefully someone will listen to him :-) almost makes me feel sorry for him  

LE: the only lunatic who made my ignore list was digitalindustry, now counting 2 

I'm afraid to talk about it and yet I responded every time to those concerns, heck I even created the jackpot to try to find small but in time feasible solutions. The points in low hashrate has been the subject from as long as I found out about Quark, back in June last year people were worried, now again you are worried(why I wonder as you're not involved in anything anymore), as I said in my last sentece if you bother to read I said I am concerned but thing is that, the coin pool or anyone who gathers sufficient mining power can only do as much harm as delay transactions. Of course for a big crypto currency like Bitcoin that would be devastating but for a crypto currency like Quark which doesn't handle alot of business transactions it really wouldn't matter if an army of thousands of botnets or that pool would refuse to relay the legit transactions for a few hours or days. Once quark or any crypto currency gathers more adopters you will see or have seen in other crypto currencies that the hashrate will also raise because the value will raise and so on. Thing is once Quark is a worthy currency for real use, if ever, will be strongly protected by the decentralization in mining power.

The alternative options like the contest was exactly to educate people about these sort of problems but not spread FUD because there are people even with 1-2 pages behind that think someone could steal their quarks if there's a fork or something among those lines.. so basic line is this.. that pool has a solid majority, more than 50% which is enough (not 99% like you exagerate ) its not good but its not harmful in this stage of Quark adoption because the only harm they can possibly do is delay transactions which would be unpleasant but survivable ;-)

No I didn't argued that, you must've read someone else posts. I said that anyone who controls the majority of mining is not capable of doing any harm without tricking themselves as well. Its irrelevant what anyone attacks if they can't harm it then no one needs to be worried. Of course your behaviour of FUD is quite similar to former quakers who had the same attitude when they've sold out, its totally normal I guess. You sold at a loss and now you're fuming out on everyone connected with Quark.

No, technically no. If you meant hypothetically, yes they could be the same person but based on the entries and IPs I highly doubt  someone would go to such length when every single entry counts only as one.
And yes thats much considering how much attack the forum got from either side of fences, on one hand Digi's followers were lied that we want to destroy Quark, and now the former quarkers with which I've started are getting back at with their own way of bashing. Its hard to get across the alternative current of which both impulses are on the negative side, but there you go 40 solo miners willing to participate in a contest in which they may win money; not much only about 150 dollars the big prize but still not hard to say yes for those with an idle PC at home :-)


`Factual centralization` proves nothing bad about Quark only that the current state is being controlled by a majority pool who cannot double spend, but only withdraw their power. Due to the fork we recently had that pool on 11th Jan was down and quark hashrate was still maintained above 150MH/s, now we're back at around 400MH/s. The pool controls a solid majority of hashing power but of course you fail to see that once more users join in with hashing power on other pools or solo mining, the numbers will even out among many other miners, but that will only happen in time. Bitcoin never faced with this in its first 2-3 years because the pools weren't invented yet so of course things will progress a bit differently nowadays with a young currency.

If someone really wanted to attack Quark they wouldn't need a fucking public pool to do it thats what you forget when you talk about mining centralization. The attackers at the current hashrate would need more than 1000 botnets to have control over Quark's block emission power and the only thing that they would accomplish would be to delay transactions for other legit users, nothing more.
If you think that delaying transactions in Quark which is a 2 year old crypto currency is worthwhile for a group of hackers then you must be mad. Once Quark becomes more popular the mining power will increase accordingly and the delaying of transactions attack will get harder and harder.


Glad you cleared that up, but like I dealt before with bitcoin disappointed-turned-into-fudsters types,  I don't mind dealing with quark-them as well.. Oh and yes everything could be fine or very wrong depending from which perspective you look from.. politicians turn literally everything into the worst or best thing every day.. so of course you can continue to look at Quark from the worst possible angle while others like me will prefer to look from a concerned but constructive side instead from the sidelines.

quarkfx, you had me at 14 yo killing people .. say again the quarktalk jackpot in which more than 40 individual SOLO miners participated the first time round, say again what ? say "noone participates" please repeat that.

Quark isn't secure great thanks for your opinion, you can move to another coin now which is more secure ;-)

they are braindead  because if they'd solo mine they could also participate in the jackpot and win lots more quarks, the winners from Christmas are: http://quarktalk.org/threads/mining-jackpot-winner-s.1006/ the next draw will be on 21 July 2015 so anyone wishing to get out of the pool you could be lucky and win much more 

As for the attacks and destruction lol, there's nothing much any majority can do without harming itself, plus Quark has double spending protection unlike most other crypto currencies so we are protected form any form of fraud as long as you keep your private keys safe.

but on a positive note could be a happy moment when crypto currencies adoption is so widespread that the vast majority of its users don't know how the engine works, don't even know how to open the bonnet or worst analogy in the above case don't even know where's the engine.
