QuazarCoin (QCN) is the new generation of cryptocurrency which is based on the CryptoNote protocol (https://cryptonote.org/) and uses the CryptoNight algorithm (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/CryptoNight). The CryptoNight algorithm is the most democratic today, fully ASIC-resistant and only CPU-mineable.

QuazarCoin was launched May 8, 2014 after discussion in the community, without premine or instamine. Here is the announcement - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=600658 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=600658).

QuazarCoin protects your data and privacy through unlinkable transactions with ring signatures.

I believe that cryptocurrency with the CryptoNight algorithm will have a great future, and our market is for everyone. I will make everything for the QuazarCoin developing and zooming.

Honesty & Profitability!

It's just a fork of Monero, same final supply but more expensive right now, and less evenly distributed.

Pump & dump

Fork of Monero? Monero is a blatant bytecoin clone, its great innovation was to mine %80 of coins in 4 years instead of 2.

The emission curve is ridiculous, benefiting only early adopters.

Quasar was created to provide a fair mining period free from instamine.

Yes Monero is a fork of Bytecoin because Bytecoin is a shameless premine. Bytecoin was not advertise, only few people was mining it in underground.

Now can you tell me how the public CPU-mining of 80% coins in 4 years is anywhere near what is commonly know as instamine? 

If you think a "fair mining period" is a "very long, endless mining period with permanently high rewards", I am afraid your concept of fairness is flawed.

duckNote ftw! lulz

Seriously though, out of all the Cryptonote coins, I like Boolberry. QuazarCoin right behind it, then duckNote for $hits & giggles.
