 This is a multi-threaded CPU miner for Litecoin and Bitcoin,
+and now Quarkcoin, forked from poolers cpuminer which is a 
 fork of Jeff Garzik's reference cpuminer.
 
+Git tree: https://github.com/Neisklar/quarkcoin-cpuminer
+
+Different than the Sha256 and Scrypt implementation, the QRK hashing is
+pure plain C code. So for performance gains, it may be good to tune
+compilation with e.g. -march for specific CPU types
