Plair aims to unify the gaming and streaming worlds onto one platform, propel the amateur eSports scene into the global spotlight, bringing opportunities to gamers of all skill, and give the GAMERS ownership and control of their own data. Additionally, they plan to launch a distributed cloud computing network in which users can rent, play, and stream video games using the combined power of the network's contributors. The PLA token is the blood of this entire ecosystem, itself built upon the ecosystem that is the VeChainThor blockchain, which gives Plair the scalability advantages it needs to succeed over competitors.
Quarkcoin is a coin which increases security by using 9 rounds of hashing from 6 different hashing algorithms - blake, bmw, grøstl, JH, keccak, skein. 3 of the hashing rounds apply a random hashing function. This compares with Bitcoin's solitary use of SHA-256 algorithm. There is no pre-mine for this coin. A new block is generated every 30 seconds and 2048 Quark is given out as reward per block at the beginning. This reward halves every 60480 blocks or roughly every 3 weeks. The initial supply of Quark is 247 million and this is expected to be mined in roughly 6 months since launch date. The supply will then continue to increase at an inflationary rate of 0.5% per year. Quarkcoin was launched on 21 July 2013.
