The fairly-mined quark is still being mined at 1% pa. death is nowhere in sight. let's inspect the facts.

The rate is actually 0.42% p.a.

network hash rate a 750Mh/s 5.2% orphans. Still very difficult to 51% attack

Take qrk.coinmine.pl offline by DDOSing it and the network hashrate is 37.5Mh, very easy to 51% attack.

Still in the top 10 cryptocurrencies at http://coinmarketcap.com/mineable.html

If you were in the cohort that came to Quark thanks to Bill Still and invested $20k (based on posts in /r/quarkcoin several people did this), your investment is now worth $3,000-$4,000. I'm sure many of those people are delighted that Quark is still in the top 10 mineable currencies.

These are great developments. Now convince people to actually use them! The sum of all transaction fees in a 24hr period is about 0.5 QRK. You aren't going to convince miners to stick around if between txn fees and block rewards they stand to make at best a few cents a day. Increase the number of transaction or increase the fee. Ideally, do both. Suppose I have a bunch of QRK in my Android wallet. What can I spend them on?

Fast transactions.

Every altcoin has fast transactions. what Quark coin has is fast transaction confirmations. Unfortunately it also have a very high orphan rate which means confirmations are a lot less trustworthy than say, for example in Dogecoin, Litecoin or Bitcoin.

you tell me that you cannot see the bright future?

People, Quark will be steady or even rise before you know it!
Invest in this coin that has a much longer life!

Pump, pump, pump and pretend nothing is wrong. It's a great short term solution.
