Some Qs about Quark mining

[Delicieuxz]

Is Quark CPU or GPU mined?

What's better: Solo mining or pool mining?

What's a good mining pool?

What mining software to use?

 

I used to mine BTC and LTC, but haven't done anything with this stuff for a while. And information about it isn't very concise. So, advice concerning these things would be appreciated.

Not only that Quark is a CPU mined only digital currency. Server farms and ASIC mining rigs don't get the advantage mining Quarkcoin. - See more at: http://www.quarkcoins.com/#sthash.Yj66V7Pi.dpuf

-CPU Mined

-While there aren't many miners currently, solo is all about luck unless your hashrate is ridiculously high. Pool mining is pretty much guaranteed reward and is predictable.

-I'm about to try e-pool.net

-You can get the miner directly from their website http://www.quarkcoins.com/mining-quarkcoin.html

 

It's super profitable right, like $340 per day. Best get on it before the bubble bursts.

Actually I just noticed there are ASICs that support Quark now, abandon ship!

Yeah... I saw the profitability /day jump to over $1000 earlier, but now it's down to $28 /day.

And now Quark's profitability is down to $10 / day. Welp, that sure didn't last long. My Quark wallet isn't even done syncing 10% yet (maybe because I've been mining while it syncs, though).

It wasn't worth it anyways for CPU miners. My 7700K was doing about 1000Kh/s, the default hash rate for Quark on CoinWarz which is used to calculate profit is like 450000Kh/s.

most mining isn't worth it, my friend brought a £1300 x11 miner for dash coins he makes about £2 a day, though he has mined a tonne of other coins so hopefully the price will jump. his has around 3k start coins.

Dash is already incredibly popular so it won't just magically become incredibly profitable.

 

Mining zcash with just a 980ti, I can get about $4 per day. He should have gotten 4 or 5 RX 470s with that $1000, he could have made closer to or over $20 per day mining Zcash or Ethereum.
