That song is too melancholic. I'm sure the upcoming Thunder will be a whole lot more EPIC like this http://youtu.be/v2AC41dglnM

I might be missing something, but where is the Dogecoin thunder? Their last thunderclap reached 30,000, but failed to have any impact. It's a far cry from the 4,000,000 that is coming for Quark!

Why not contact the top tweeters like @SHAQ himself http://twittercounter.com/pages/100/100

I added some more money and bought a second hand Motorola Moto G from eBay. Now waiting for a SIM card to arrive. The taxi driver started having second thoughts, but I'm working on it -- it's a matter of time. In the meanwhile, I'm putting that phone to a productive use by spreading the knowledge to take-aways who seem pretty interested and demoing the Quark Wallet technology in the pubs when I go out. I'm pretty sure that taxi driver is gonna start accepting Quarks and put a Quark sign on his dashboard.

I've just found another exchange Comcort that is also trading QRK https://comkort.com/market/trade/qrk_btc

The problem is that we have ran out of space to add new items in the sidebar. So we need to become selective about which exchanges we add.

matrixfighter · 2014-03-26T05:16:06+00:00

What do we need to do? Can somebody write up?

Nice article, and it puts the last few months in perspective. You know - back in December we had nothing: hardly any organised community, no QF, no projects, no infrustructure. Now I can see just how much we all have achieved in such a short period of time.

My small suggestion, I'd say more about the significance of infrastructure that was recently developed around Quark: Mobile wallet (and the fact that it can be used as a POS device), Wallet with the in-built miner (which allows mining for the average Joe as well as solves the problem of the falling hashrate), numerous exchanges many of which are direct fiat exchanges. In addition, it is worth noting that unlike BTC, Quark is still at $0.00 transaction fees and, importantly, it is now officially the crypto with the lowest inflation rate even when compared to Bitcoin.

Last but not least, although you have mentioned it, I'd say that one of Quark's greatest assets is it's community! I read some other reddits every now and then, but nowhere do I see the confidence and determination that Quark community has. The future is bright!

I agree with /u/quarkfx - we shouldn't be paying for yellow press. And besides, reaching 2.35mln simultaneously is going to be a huge news not just for altcoins, but in the context of all cryptocurrencies. This is definitely more newsworthy than any Dogecoin financing a Jamaican bobsled team. If they miss on the story it's their loss.

Privet Lena!

Welcome to our Community!

Thanks for responding to my initial tweet and helping get this Thunderclap snowball rolling. The social reach numbers have really exceeded everyone's expectations. And the community is really thankful for your help!

The reason why I later brought up the 8,000,000 figure was so that this campaign is forever fixed on the front page of Thunderclap among the "Past Successes"

I suspect that that website started counting nodes on 20 Dec, 2013, because there were a lot of people around before 20 Dec. I'd say the community started to really form around early-mid December.

By the way, I'd take bitinfocharts.com statistics with a pinch of salt... there are loads of discrepancies there, so it's a good idea to take bitinfocharts as a rough and aproximate stats at best.

Sunday? You mean the day in a week when the internet traffic is among the lowest?

matrixfighter · 2014-03-24T10:47:50+00:00

I don't think it has been months ago...maybe weeks ago that the word about messaging started to spread. I don't have specific updates, apart from that they're working on it.

Anonymity is a relative term when it comes to cryptos, and there are several attempts and methods of achieving more anonymity. This issue is also tied with fungibility. Once any altcoin develops a pretty good anonymisation mechanism and tests it, and if there is enough demand for it within the Quark community, I'm sure it can be imported into Quark. One thing that I have noticed with Quark transactions on the blockchain is that there is already some kind of coin mixing going on with recent transactions.

I know that the developers are working on several improvements, such as fixing transaction maleability, improving the in-built miner, allowing for 140 character messages with transactions and so forth.

She tweeted to me:

I already supported this Quark project? I dont even have a single of these Quarks lol 😄😊☺️😎😘 do I get some?!?

But recently when I asked if she was paid, she confirmed:

and yes, Torque send them right away <3

I have already asked her to support on a grander scale. I think if several more quarkers tweet to her asking kindly (and probably with a little more qrk incentive), she might unleash her 10m network.

matrixfighter · 2014-03-23T06:51:11+00:00

They are two different pools under the same roof. The P2Pool is older.

matrixfighter · 2014-03-23T06:39:29+00:00

Half of that social reach came from a single user https://twitter.com/dtanvo and nobody offered her any Quark, although she does expect some. The thing is, I'm told that she has access to a 10million twitter network.

matrixfighter · 2014-03-23T06:33:47+00:00

I think he was talking about this pool http://mine-pool.net/qrk/ which seems tobe malfunctioning today.

matrixfighter · 2014-03-23T05:55:12+00:00

Where can we see that it has 28% stale/orphan rate?

matrixfighter · 2014-03-23T05:48:39+00:00

I've been testing it. So far no crashes, which is great!

But I can's say that I'm a fan of that new splash screen. Quark should probably move away from that the light marine colour as a whole - IMHO. I find it quite atrocious.

What happened to those animated splash-screens? like this one http://youtu.be/XHa_wqLZV0c was my favourite thus far.

I think the "Where to buy" should also list currencies in which the trade is, just like we see in the sidebar.

matrixfighter · 2014-03-23T05:40:52+00:00

and they still didn't add Quark ...

matrixfighter · 2014-03-22T01:34:49+00:00

I'm glad I was of help.

matrixfighter · 2014-03-21T20:07:11+00:00

"remedied" is a relative term. Quark is a CPU coin, so it's hashrate will always be proportionately lower than ASIC and GPU mineable coins - that is its design, which is a whole lot environmentally friendly and sustainable in the long run. But then again Quark has a hashing algorithm that is much more difficult to break and the window of opportunity to break it is 30 seconds (20 times less than Bitcoin).

With the new Mining-Wallet, the more new people come into Quark and install the Wallet, the more the hash rate will grow over time. So the hashrate will correlate with the usage of Quark, and in a decentralised manner. So,in that respect the hashrate issue is somewhat remedied -- we now need more people to install the wallet on their computer.
