350khash/s doesn't seem to be too much - it depends on your CPU speed and also the type of miner that you use.
I get circa 900-1000khas, but I have i7-3930k and I'm using the faster miner posted in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=353448.0
Click the Download link https://sourceforge.net/projects/philosopherstone/files/QRK/ and choose the best miner that will suit your CPU processor.
At the moment you can expect mining 1-2 Quarks per day. If you want more Quarks , it is faster to buy them. I acquired 98% of my quarks by buying, but I still mine primarily because it helps power the Quark network and receiving 1-2 extra Quarks, doesn't hurt.
Welcome to the Quark community!
Electrum-based wallet. https://electrum.org/
We need to diversify the current desktop wallet. Downloading and updating the blockchain every day is starting to use too many resources, even on Quark, which will inevitable become bloated like Bitcoin's 20GB blockchain transactions.
I think as many people as possible should get a hold of The Wall Street Journal, and CoinDesk.
I just sent this to CoinDesk and Wall Street Journal feel free to use as a starting point.
"Hello, I feel obligated to let you guys know about the amazing work being done by the Quark Community in preparation for the upcoming Thunderclap that is ending in 3 and a half days. Folks from the Quark Press Team surprised the community a couple days ago with the opening of http://www.quarkuniverse.cc/
There has also been a tremendous amount of promotion being done and discussed on Reddit, Even the Litecoin subreddit community posted about The Quark Thunderclap, saying that they should follow Quark’s marketing strategy.
Also, I feel like Shaq Fu is worth mentioning. The Quark Community has donated money to Indiegogo for the production of the upcoming Shaq Fu Video Game - http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/shaq-fu-a-legend-reborn
Could be quite the story for you guys going into the weekend,
Sincerely Ryan."
Good Luck and Quark On!
Quark is designed to be ASIC resistant. Quark is for CPU mining only. There is a GPU miner program for Quark for select GPU cards, but you won't get any huge advantage with those GPUs - and that's one of the beauties of Quark -- so that ordinary people have the chance to mine them on their ordinary computers.
You might want to consider a more powerful CPU than that. Like i7-4930k use this chart http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html
There are Mining coins and there are Investment coins. Read this article and especially the comment here http://cryptosource.org/good-buys-and-coins-to-avoid-how-daily-coin-maintenance-costs-should-factor-into-your-investment-decisions/#comment-198 (That comment-article has been making waves across all crypto communities recently) Right now Quark is regarded as the best coin for investment, not mining. If you want to spend money to build a mining rig just for Quark, I'd advise to spend that money to buy Quarks instead.
Also what other people often do (myself included), is use their GPUs to mine the "mining coins" (coins that are unsustainably overpriced against their daily maintenance cost) like Dogecoin or Vertcoin and then sell those to buy Quarks while they are cheap and undervalued.
Yeah, looks like I'm not the only one... I just wanted to put this out there for newcomers. It all piggyback's off big brother bitcoin, we all go down when bitcoin get's hit too.
Using the "Way back machine" (https://web.archive.org/web/20131120104851/http://coinmarketcap.com/) you can see Namecoin and Peercoin 45 days ago averaging about .75 cents. Present day they are both 10x+ that. So it's all a waiting game, and catching a good exchange & exposure. I cant wait till we have a QRK/USD option, which would somewhat isolate it from bitcoin.
Thank you very very much!! Will add your pledge up top, and let the others know on the planning board for this project..BTW, I am going to attempt to provide a link to the work being done on this project so far.. EDIT: added! https://trello.com/c/daa0Xhd2 (need to click show activity to see details)
Here's their kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2078503895/voidspace
Here's the discussion thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/28e20s/im_creating_an_mmorpg_with_cryptocurrency_as_our/
Lovingcoins, I looked a little further..This video makes this program look very promising, and in fact,I will contact them just to see how far off they are from using this with other alt coins like Quark..Thanks!

Also this is worth a shot if it is just a filesystem error, if it is a database error then i don't really know what to do about that http://www.cnet.com/uk/news/recover-lost-damaged-or-deleted-files-with-free-recuva/
"Exactly. Trading alts is pretty much just trading BTC on margin." - /u/veroxii's very apt response on /r/BitcoinMarkets to the same observation.
If you are on linux, you can use cpulimit and specify the max processor usage for quarkcoin to 100% (all four cores would be 400%). I'm not positive this will work, but its something to try. If you are on windows you could decrease the priority of the process in the task manager.
ok yeah use - http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ or like to create the drive - we probably need to find a way really to get an _apt server for our Wallet - i've been talking to people about this - but I bleieve the way Andreas A used his was he used a lite wallet - like electum i assume its open source and he complied a customer version of Tails - maybe we can try to find these steps ?
The problem is that the Bitcoin community is so small in users that were doing this at the beginning that data is sparse -
Or for those who need it in other currencies than USD and EUR, I have done an excel spreadsheet that automatically calculates the price in a range of currencies. Tell it how many coins you have and it will update the prices every minute:

Great to see this being released..Hopefully soon we will be able to get more people actively posting over there:)
Meantime, I am making the QuarkPlanet trello Board public here, and invite people to start moving Quark projects over to the Forum from there : https://trello.com/b/1hBBvhoE
There was some inactivity on the board (especially most recently, due to some issues which should hopefully be resolved soon), but hopefuly we will be moving forward again soon!
Probably I will post a new thread on this also:)
For those who discover CoinsManager, this is a free Open-source multi-address multi-currency Portfolio. More details in the press releases: https://trello.com/c/WAuJivSj/68-about-coinsmanager Contributions and donations appreciated (we haven't received any in QRK yet), thanks!
