Happy Genesis EVERYONE !!!
Can't wait for this great project to launch !!!

The point of the coin, is to continually have new coins being made, we feel that a service coin should always have new coins coming into the system, in order to reward the minters more, and keep the fairness of the system over time. Also, people have a tendency to lose BTC, etc... and if you have a set cap, what happens when too many people lose access to wallets?

We plan for Qortal to be running a LONG time, so we cannot have lost wallets become a cause for concern.

Awesome. Nostalgia, good old days with QORA.
I regret that I sold all my QORA a long time ago. Better it was necessary to save them to get QORTAL, when it was possible.
When is the first Exchange planned?

Does QORA still have active nodes?
I would double-check all the old wallets, suddenly there is something left :D

QORA still has active nodes, but you can't burn anymore. Too late now.


As far as 'an exchange'... did you skip that part of the post? Qortal DOESN'T NEED AN EXCHANGE. The Trade Portal, completely decentralized, with BTC support, will be pushed in an auto-update, very soon after Genesis (Genesis is tomorrrow).

Really missed this post, just scrolled it. Time to sleep.
Well, that's great!

Congratulations, this is an exciting time!

Genesis launch is almost here.  8)

Congratz! :)
Excited to see what you came up with.

Join the Qortal Discord fellas, ask questions. This is possible the best project to get involved with out of all the crap I been filter through here on bct.

nice job,just mining.

glad you got it setup.


Will post new download to UI when new version is complete, should be a few min

Hello my love.

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

"Connection to the Qortal Core was lost, is your Core running ?"



Get this error. I think Core is running. Do I need to add some nodes for connection?

THX

if anyone needs it, I have setup a hosted UI server @ http://node10.qortal.org:12388 (http://node10.qortal.org:12388) for anyone who is having issues with current windows UI...

you can use this, with locally installed core, and everything will still take place local only - for anyone who is having issues with Windows UI installer while we are in process of updating to new version. You can  use this link above to access the UI.

ok, now I have "blockheight 1 "  ... so its syncing I guess ... I just wait then?

If you see block 1, you just need to sync. yes.

---

you can attempt to access the UI at - http://node10.qortal.org:12388 to get into your account. This is all still local only. Must have local core running in order for it to work.

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

everything fine ... curius to see how it goes on  :)

sorry I do not want to be overly negative so forgive me-

But I am reading down that olympic-wallper size OP and I am not able to even find the info if this is PoS, PoW, or poop or whatever,
and neither can I find an emission schedule further than 5 to 2 coins block reward-

in 2020 and after a gazillion projects good and bad, shouldn't it be sort of standard to present the most pertinent info in a way comprehensible for someone who knows the crypto world?

Maybe the problem is... You've seen too many 'shitcoin' launches.

If you READ, you might be able to figure out the answers you seek... as they are ALL There.


This project is NOT PoW, it is NOT PoS, it is NOT like anything else you've seen before.


This project is FROM SCRATCH. Completely NEW. Something that most people don't have the time, effort, balls of steel, etc... for... especially to wait over 4+years of active development IN SILENCE, to present a FULLY WORKING PRODUCT..



Apologies if the 'olympic-wallpaper' (as if that's actually a thing) size OP is 'too many words' for your brain to comprehend... I will spell it out for you...



1.  We are UNIQUE - we are unlike anything else that exists.

2. We are NOT PoW, PoS, or any of the other PoWhatever's you've seen before (refer to #1)

3. The platform is meant to be INFRASTRUCTURE for the internet of the future, that will be built on The Qortal Network, as opposed to the sloppy mess of TCP connections that is the internet we have today.

4. Qortal is ONE OF A KIND. You will not see anything like this anywhere else, and have not seen anything like it prior.

5. If you're looking to MINE, you're in the wrong place, as you can clearly see on our 'wallpaper' - we mention MULTIPLE TIMES - that we are not MINING, in Qortal, you MINT.

6. If you would LIKE TO BE A MINTER ON THE QORTAL NETWORK, that is fully free and able to take place, simply get into the Discord, or Q-Chat, and request that a level5+ minter, or a founder, sponsor you, then you simply run a FULL NODE, and you MINT.


I guess if you want a 'PoWhatever', we can call it 'Proof Of Online/LegitNode' (so I guess, it would be 'PoOLN') or maybe, we could call it 'Proof of Legitimacy' or 'Proof Of Intent', regardless of what we name it... all you have to DO... is BE A FULL NODE, BE ONLINE, BE SPONSORED, PROVE YOURSELF A SUPPORTING NODE OF THE NETWORK FOR 5 DAYS. Then, you become LEVEL 1 MINTER.

As you proceed to increase in proving yourself online every block, you obtain 'BlocksMinted' count increase. As this BlocksMinted increases, so does your level. The more you are ONLINE, LEGIT FULL NODE. The more you EARN, the LARGER PERCENT OF THE BLOCK REWARD YOU SHARE, the MORE INFLUENCE YOU HAVE on The Qortal Network.

If you're one of those, who is looking to 'throw money at something' and hope to become influential that way, you will find that means VERY LITTLE in Qortal.

However, if you seek to ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTE, AND BE A SUPPORTING NODE OF THE NETWORK, and wish to be A MINTER, I can help you with that, and sponsor you to get you on your way.


Any other questions? Oh, the reward scheme... right...

Well, since you clearly need things spelled out specifically for you, here goes...


In Qortal, there is NO COIN CAP. The chain STARTS AT BLOCK 1 WITH 0 COINS. The MINTERS of the network (full nodes, online, sync'd, with minting keys assigned) are REWARDED EVERY BLOCK. Based on MINTER LEVEL, their rewards are larger or smaller.

i.e. If you're a level 1 minter, you will share 5% of the block reward, EVERY BLOCK, with EVERY OTHER LEVEL 1 OR 2 MINTER ON THE NETWORK.

As you increase in level, so does your reward, as you have continued to prove yourself a supporting active node, and thus, you are more trusted, and earn more. Once you reach LEVEL 3... You will share then 10% of EVERY BLOCK'S REWARD, with all other level 3 and 4 minters.


You see? There is no way I can give you whether we are PoW or PoS, since we are NEITHER. If you READ, you will see that. IF you refuse to read, you may interject with comments like this, and prepare for my responses. ;)

<3

Here is some expose:

I am not even questioning the technical validity of the project- it seems interesting to me, and I have seen a lot over the last 7 years I have been in the crypto space (incl. the original QORA and its decline) - how could I, I haven't looked unde rthe hood, but on first impression it looks like worth watching.

Neither am I in principal not willing to get into the technical nitty gritty of things.

My point is the style of presentation which is not done in a very comprehensible manner even for those skilled in the art (and don't reduce it to PoW vs PoS)

And, on inquiry, your response, which displays a scathing l33t-Geek arrogance of tech dudes so much in love with their own competence on their high horse that they expect everybdoy else to simply .. get it, or else be deemed of inferiour mental capacities..

Again, nothing about tech, but of presentation and style of community building, many a good tech has failed for not good community culture.

Still early, so you might want to reconsider your attitudes  ;)

Oh, come to think of it: I started looking for a whitepaper in the OP, and the longer I scrolled the more I felt being swamped with not very well structured minutiae and detail, so I did indeed not read the whole OP from first to last line, as you correctly assumed, because I was looking for a WP and a few concise points describing the whole thing.

Crowetic has been working on this project for +4 years, paying the devs out of his own pocket afaik too, I think it's fair to say he's balls deep on this project - financially, time commitment, emotionally - the genesis was literally today, it's a really promising project, one of the best I've followed since I started with crypto in 2013. If he sounded a bit prickly about your feedback on the announcement, try and cut him some slack, this is a BIG moment in his life, a significant achievement to get this far and launch a genuinely innovative new platform, I think he will take any help he can get with marketing & communication in the future, Qortal is very community focused, core principles of decentralization, the stuff that excited most of us that got into crypto in 2012-14.

yes I agree to all what you mention, so I'll be quiet. I understand the sensitivity, what I wrote was meant to be constructive criticism.

Good Luck with the project, maybe I'll get to run a node also!

Yes, consider running a node, unlike PoS & PoW it doesn't require anything more than a commitment to run the software, no need to buy expensive mining hardware or a stack of coins to stake, you just get sponsored to start as a Minter (by someone over level 5), then everyone in a particular level shares a set % of the block reward, which increases as you move up through the levels, from continuing to run your node and passing uptime milestones. It's very fair, and the platform feature set is impressive!

Cool project!

Thank you for the support. Yes, I have been funding privately as well as leading the development, etc.


I come off as I come off, I mean nothing by it. I simply state facts. The facts are, your answers are in the post. (@original replying guy)

Yes, of course there is a LOT of info... this is a MASSIVE project. Even getting to the point I could actually relay the information without confusing everyone was difficult. We will improve as time goes on.


I don't care much for flashy nonsense, I care for facts.

We really did it. Hats off to all the developers involved in this project. We are live, now. 8)

I still remember when Polo delisted QORA, and then, the story of QORT began. A long time with lots of decisions, changes, ideas and a growing community of supporters to the project of all kinds. Awesome, I still can't really believe that I'm now minting actual blocks. It's a special moment. The QORT developers did an amazing job, so far.

I've set everything up, got my minting accounts from my old QORA accounts. The wallet looks nice and clean. What I really like is the API with the Swagger API Docs. This is lit, and it inspires programmers to build on QORT. Thumbs up! Can't wait for the trading feature to get released. :)

Just started minting! Excited to be a part of this project  ;D

This is really a great project because is not based on greed and will bring
pure decentralization and soveregnity to people.

It will actually patch the flaws that were discovered in bitcoin and other pow and pos coins
and that is that you need big financial resources to participate in mining or staking
and are biased to centralization of power in long run.

This is only at the beginning and everyone can participate just by running the software on their computer.
A software that will take just few % of your CPU power and does not require
special equipment (hardware).

Congratulations to the developers and the whole team behind this to bringing this to life.

Your words humble and honor myself as surely they do to the team as well! Thank you. :)

Just allow us to 'work out a few kinks' in some things, and VERY SOON we will see something TRULY REMARKABLE. Let us GATHER AS ONE TO CREATE OUR OWN NEW WORLD. Let the RULES of the WORLD be HONEST and FAIR a TRANSPARENT SYSTEM that CAN NOT BEND TO MANIPULATION in any fashion.

Something HONESTLY ABLE TO BE CONTROLLED BY INDIVIDUAL (and SOVEREIGN/unhackable) INPUT.


I am EXTREMELY excited to continue to have the honor to present such a magnificent specimen as The Qortal Network to the world, and have had an extreme honor in the years it took for us to complete the planning and execution of the project's development. STAY TUNED!

please list stable coin to trade portal

Listing a token would not be in the interests of Qort from what I understand.

Those stable coins are not true cryptocurrency "coins", they are tokens turned into place holders for some pre-determined fiat value.

Bitcoin will be listed from what I read.

All in good time my son.

---

The listing of coins/tokens will take place based on vote in the future. At first, bitcoin will be listed, then Litecoin and ETH.

We will then work out implementation of the voting system, for future coins to be voted in as the system was designed.


[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

Ok so I understood wrong. It is tokens and coins.

Generally, everything is possible. But at the beginning, it makes total sense to add those cryptocurrencies which have big demand and liquidity. Also, it's a lot easier to list Bitcoin clones when you already have Bitcoin implemented than listing something completely new.

Generally, I like the idea of having the decision making process based on votes. As a suggestion, maybe it makes sense to combine funding with the implementation of voting based features and listings? Because that way, implementations with high demand can be easily determined AND developers receive compensation for developing features. Keeps the incentive high for everyone. :)

I don't know about charging for it, I don't think that will be within my overall vision, but we'll take a vote on that as well


We have pushed a small auto-update with mostly some overall networking fixes and other little things, network should begin updating shortly.

Just an idea, as I – as a developer myself – know that developers need some more than fresh air and sunshine to survive. ;)
But if it's possible to integrate features without this, great. Was just tossing around ideas. :)

I didn't really have the word "charging" in mind, more like donations, which could even inspire other developers to code for Qortal, giving incentive to grow the ecosystem with external applications. Kind of like a marketplace for things people want. With the difference that it's not coins which are traded, but services.


I saw it! Like an hour ago, the qortal core's splash screen suddenly popped up on my desktop, again. Guess that was the update mechanism in action!

How mine this?
quide for create minting account???

Checkout qortal.org (http://qortal.org) – there's a wiki with lots of knowledge.

To answer in short, you don't mine. In Qortal, we have a minting process similar to PoS, but you don't need coins at stake, you need a sponsor who sponsors you in order to convert your account into a minting account (which happens 7200 blocks later, so close to five days, I think).

Then, your level 0 account becomes level 1 and your account becomes part of the pool of level 1 and level 2 accounts, which share 5% of the block rewards (5 QORT each block).

The levels are (100% are 5 QORT, each block):

level 1 and 2: 5%
level 3 and 4: 10%
level 5 and 6: 15%
level 7 and 8: 20%
level 9 and 10: 25%

Hope that helps. :)

Edit: getting a minting account sponsored right now should be pretty hard, as there were only few level 5 accounts on the network after start. So you'll have to wait a few days until the slots are free again, after 7200 blocks have passed for the current sponsors.

Join the Discord, there's a room for everybody who wants sponsoring. :)

thanx a lot!

vote ETH,BCH,LTC,ADA,EOS,XTZ,LINK,XLM,DASH,ZEC,MKR,XMR

Suggestion: In the future, add a "dark mode" for the UI.  8)

Having problems to get the Qortal wallet to run. After I downloaded the current provided version in the opening thread I run the .sh file. According to the log file the wallet should run on port 12392 while the API run on port 12391. But when I call 127.0.0.1:12392 the page is not found while calling 127.0.0.1:12391 gives me a page which says I must enable API documentation in settings file. Any help? 

in settings.json

{
  "apiWhitelist": [
    "0.0.0.0/0",
    "::/0"
  ],
  "uiPort": 12390,
  "apiPort": 12391,
  "listenPort": 12392,
  "autoUpdateEnabled": true,   
  "apiDocumentationEnabled": true,
  "apiRestricted": false
}

This is retarded. Qort will list any junk u submit to them. They elucidated that listing cuckold coins will made simpler than ever before. It is a common misconception that tacky coins should be weeded out, for the sake of keeping corporate etiquette in which Qort has no interest. These guys are very open and will do whatever u command them to do.

Qortal should not add shit coins to trade portal! Do not like to be like other scam exchanges. Only add top 5 coins if you must.

---

I somehow want to agree to you. Crowetic looks like he will do anything you want. He keeps the top developers hidden and only come front and talk only. Who is in charge of everything in truth ? Only catbraf and dmax do the developing and now damx is not on Discord server why? Crowetic talk only and go back.

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

Just new here so i have newbie question. How this network protects from 51% attack? It's not POW, POS.  How this "‘prove yourself as a full node and online’" looks in real life?

Thanks, I added it to the file. It is normal that the settings file is shipped empty  ???

However, it does not work. Nor of the three ports are found after starting the wallet. Following is the content of log.txt.1 file:

we will surely add a dark mode.

---

Right, we will not be listing shit coins.


BTC, LTC, and ETH are the only planned listings prior to the voting system being added.


(even though I believe ETH to be a shitcoin personally, that's beside the point. We will list them until people realize how much better Qortal is and move the good projects from ETH to Qortal.)

---

Is this supposed to mean something to me? Try again.


By the way... the whole point of the project is for there NOT to be someone 'in charge'. So maybe adjust your flawed thinking, and come check the project again.


MRPD is mad because my devs couldn't be bought, he attempted to steal dmax from me and failed, when dmax told him to get bent. So now he comes in and feels entitled to having developers of our team's caliber without putting in any real effort. Too bad in order to find the best people, you have to not be a greedy fool only out for yourself. Maybe think about that next time MRPD.

---

Do you have Discord? If so get in contact with me and I'll help you get through it.

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

In truth you are the fool man. You want to keep Dev hidden and afraid of loosing development if they get better opportunity. They the slave men to you?  You think first next time hippe man.

How to make sure the voting system and result won't be compromised? There are 10 levels and 5 categories of share, 5% in minimum for levels 1 & 2 to 25% in maximum for levels 9 and 10. It means that last category (levels 9 & 10) has 5 times higher in received shares than the first category (level 1 & 2). People will try to move up to the higher and the highest categories ASAP.

It potentially causes many types of fraudulent voting activities on chain. I would prefer to learn more about the voting system and protective system to prevent any sort of compromises.

All Minters sign blocks that is proof they are online. There is no way to tell who is signing vs who is making a block until the block and TX is accepted by all nodes. From what I saw there are Zero Confirmations too so it is fully unhackable. I saw on discord that they consider the 1 block a confirmation. Most coins must lock coins for multiple confirmations so this would mean Zero Confirms the way those Crypto operate. Seeing that Qortal is different it may not even adhere to Normal standards and I hope to learn more.

So if you send a TX it is going to be written to the next block. Unless it is a Free Chat TX that never gets Confirmed and drops after 24 Hours. Great way to implement something and not bloat the Chain!

Understood, thanks but I still don't know what if someone will start xxxx nodes? What is the mechanism that protects against privatizing network by obtaining the majority of nodes?

All nodes need to be sponsored before minting

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic, tbh.

Edit: I also think you guys should keep this kind of talk out of the thread, maybe use the dm feature or the ignore button. We've barely launched and I can't imagine any universe where this is helpful in any way. Let's keep things clean and civil.
Also worth mentioning: it's going to take a very long time until anyone will even be able to reach the higher levels. I'm not sure about how long it takes for level 5 to reach 6 (maybe someone from the core developers can help out here... a table with that info would be nice!), and until that happens, the block reward will have declined quite a bit, and – hopefully – many others are running nodes, so the rewards are spread between many parties.

There are a few points which I can't pinpoint how they will play out. Much of the consensus in QORT is new, and I'm not sure if Cryptoland had projects with a similar approach. Things like "nothing at stake" come to mind, but talking to the developers, they've had plenty of arguments why it shouldn't be a problem, long term. Maybe one of them can drop a few words here. :)

I just looked that up and have the link handy:

http://wiki.qortal.org/doku.php?id=qort_model_-_leveling_system (http://wiki.qortal.org/doku.php?id=qort_model_-_leveling_system)

bottom of the page..

Thanks! I've checked the code also (file: blockchain.json), and there (last line) it says:
How I understood it, it takes 7200 blocks after getting sponsored reaches you level 1, 7200+64800 level 2 etc... but the documentation says level 1 to 2 is 129600 blocks. I might have gotten something wrong, but I'm not sure. :)

You only a famous burstcoin scammer and not professional hippie man.It is not hiden from public https://www.reddit.com/r/burstcoin/comments/6cbz5r/exclusive_burstcoin_community_news_crowetic_got/ Who lose the argument to a scammer now hippie man.

I am an original Qora ICO investor with a level 5 Qortal minting account, I am not associated with the development team behind Qortal in any way, what I write is my own opinion.

So far I have not sponsored anyone, and as it stands today, I don't think I will be for quite a while. This might sound harsh, but it is the truth, so far I haven't seen anyone here or on discord who deserves a Minting account that doesn't already have one, but I will continue observing, and if/when I see quality candidates I will gladly help them get established.

A Qortal Minting account is like an Asic miner, it earns money, but a minting account runs on regular hardware, doesn't burn much electricity, and will never become obsolete, so in every respect, a minting account is superior to a PoW miner, and the block reward is perpetual, so it will continue to generate income for as long as this project exists.

A Qortal minting account is as close to a crypto Willie Wonka "Golden Ticket" as I've seen, and IMO a Minting account is a very valuable "asset", not something that should be given away to a random person who posts their public key on discord, not unless they deserve it.

The more Minting accounts there are the lower the individual rewards for each Minter will be, so the game theory here is pretty obvious; a level 5 Minter should sponsor people that contribute to the ongoing development & growth of the project. This isn't NEM in 2014 where in order to bootstrap a community from nothing all that was required was posting "Interested" in a BTT thread, Qortal already has enough committed people to run nodes now!

Users of the Qortal platform don't need to run a Minter anymore than users of Bitcoin or Ethereum need to run miners; if you want to use the BTC or ETH networks you buy coins, and that's what will happen with Qortal, people who want to use the platform will buy coins on the market.

Every person I sponsor will eventually shrink the number of coins I Mint per block over the life of my Minter, guys getting sponsored today will eventually level up with me, and they'll reduce the number of coins I can Mint.

Minting is a competitive system. If someone adds something to the Qortal ecosystem, makes the value of the coin increase, then it's worth my while, I get fewer coins from Minting but they're worth more! BUT, if all you do is run a minter and shrink my income, and you don't add more to the ecosystem, what is my incentive to sponsor you?

I know a lot of people might not agree with me, and a lot of level 5 guys will sponsor anyone who asks, at least during this initial phase, and that's fine with me, but for those guys posting their public keys on discord, if you want to jump the queue I suggest "doing something", write a blog, send some tweets, add a Qortal signature etc make yourself standout, while the bar is still relatively low. In the future Minting accounts will be very valuable, given to family & friends only, or people who do A LOT for the ecosystem.

Remember, there was a time when a NEM stake that literally cost the recipient an "interested" thread post was worth +2M USD, I think a Qortal Minter account is MORE valuable than a NEM stake, but if you want one you need to earn it IMO, this isn't 2014, Qortal already has a lot of Minters who've been following this project for years.

Before people jump to attack me I'll tell you what I did to get my level 5 Minter:
- I ran a Qora node for years, even when it was "dead"
- I bought a bag of Qora from 2014-16, total cost +15 BTC, worth ~300k USD had I sold those BTC in dec 2017
- I followed all Qora communications for 6 years

I'm not expecting new guys to have as much skin in the game as I do to get sponsored, but I expect more than just posting your pub key on discord, otherwise, I have plenty of family & friends I can sponsor.

IMO it's no different to how "valuable" things work in most other areas of life, if a friend or family member asks me to give them something valuable I will always think "if there isn't a good reason to say NO, say YES", BUT, if a stranger asks me to give them something valuable it's a "transaction", a trade, or it's begging.

I think it makes a lot of sense for the qortal network to get more people involved.

This is a good point, good decentralization at the start of a crypto coin gives it a strong foundation to stand on.

Even if strangers ask, as long as they are enthusiastic, support the network, and willing to go through the learning curve then they should also have a shot at becoming a minter.

There is a problem with its programming. You after looking at their programing will see it. https://github.com/QORT/qortal/blob/d8c5e557d8305a3ec99bfe4fca0d8418bee062dd/src/main/resources/blockchain.json there it is visible to me. This also is not decentralization prograaming. Crowetic scammer always can block address with online update. Only looking at the commit tells you he is doing it. I am not joking see yourself. I warn everyone before this is the truth but crowetoc attack me directly.  :o

Yoo are so smort

https://www.meme-arsenal.com/memes/803bd698e4ec2731a4bda97eaaa0af3a.jpg

Anyway,Qortal is coiming to live.

So far I am positively surprised by Qortal.
In contrast to many Bitcoin clones it is based on a new platform. And so far it doesn't seem like many Shitcoins where the developer throws the idea into the room and then hopes that some idiots will develop it for him.

Even though in this thread it is mainly crowetic posting stuff in here, you can tell from both the git releases and the discord how many people are currently working on the project.
 
I've been following the project for at least half a year and permanently you can see progress in one way or another.
I've been running a node myself for about a week now, and I find the auto-updating core very handy. You can mint on a raspi 4b by the way. So low power costs and not nearly as much heat as usual mining.
If you have problems, the discord helps you a lot.

If this continues like this, I expect great things in the future.

It seems like the only one posting shit about qortal is some guy that just hates crowetic. Not sure what that's about.

If I weren't professional, why would I be ignoring your dumb shit instead of putting you in your place? This will be my last reply in your general direction. Get down from the high horse there horseman, before you fall off.

ya i dont get what this guy was even trying to prove?

Ok, so Crow got ripped off by a scammer or two, who in this game for as many years as us HASENT? :D    funny how one of those dudes is dead now, Karma is a bitch i guess
Tbh, losing a chunk of coin just makes a person hungry to grind it back (prob one of the reasons why he is working so hard on this)

a thick skin, and a sluffing off of angry noobs comes WITH heading a project in this cesspool that is BCT nowadays, fat chance shaking Crowetic this easy haha...

Keep On Keeping On, thats what us old school bitcoiners do....  8)

Thanks, I do not have Discord yet. But I plan to set up an account on weekend.
Since I would say that I have a good technological background, I will certainly not be the only one who will have problems with the setup. Maybe it would be good to create a tutorial.

PEOPLE = YES

The WRONG Types of PEOPLE  = NO


I think we should all sponsor those who decide they would like to be part of something DIFFERENT, NEW, and CAPABLE of DECIMATING Hypocritical NONSENSE. The option to OWN ONESELF is ONE's OWN OPTION.

GREED has NO PLACE in The Qortal Network. Should someone decide they have too much GREED and not enough goals in contributions towards a BETTER WORLD, they NEED NOT APPLY.

The Qortal Network neither NEEDS nor WANTS assholes. Only GOOD PEOPLE who are willing to HELP ONE ANOTHER, AND CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS BUILDING A BETTER WORLD TOGETHER.

Hello, I ran nodes of Qora a long time and sent Hundreds of millions Qora coins to the genesis address. How can I get a minting account of Qortal?

Install Qortal Core + UI, have your QORA address seed ready, launch the run.sh (GNU/Linux) or run.bat (Windoze) Script to start the core, run the UI, choose "Login", then "QORA Address Seed", enter your seed, done. :)

I'm still getting ripped off by scammers, at this point it's just part of life   ;D



That's actually what I meant, people have to work and prove they really are about supporting the concept behind QORT.

I wrote an article/tutorial on how to run a qortal node on a VPS. https://medium.com/@RealCryptoLlama/how-to-setup-a-qortal-node-on-a-digitalocean-vps-ab70d3be2484

This mechanism is called 'sponsorship' - so I guess, the mechanism, is YOU, bob.

I did it in Windows and got constant >50% CPU usage by Qortal.exe. What's the catch?

Can't really tell, sorry. I've heard developers talk about some 20-30% being realistic, which shouldn't be much of an issue if you have a couple of cores.
For me (GNU/Linux with OpenJDK as Java environment), it runs on an average of 5-25%, mostly it jumps between, say, 9 and 22%.

Alternatively, you can install it on a remote server; member Llama has posted a great article on how to do that: https://medium.com/@RealCryptoLlama/how-to-setup-a-qortal-node-on-a-digitalocean-vps-ab70d3be2484 (https://medium.com/@RealCryptoLlama/how-to-setup-a-qortal-node-on-a-digitalocean-vps-ab70d3be2484)
This way, you won't have to deal with Windoze in relation to QORT... might be worth a shot. :)

Disclaimer: I don't know much about the remote desktop software used in this post, so can't really say much about it... but it should also be possible to get it to run without GUI

I paste my seed of Qora and login to Qortal UI, I get "burned Qora amount: 0"

http://127.0.0.1:9085/addresses/seed/your qora address

Make sure you are using the individual seed to that account, not the seed to the group of accounts.

Same Here... It's not even like one time thing.
It's constant... This needs to be investigated. I don't like my CPU tonbe burned-off without proper explaination.

Yes, that's likely the problem. Always make sure to export your single QORA keys for that very address. If you burned your QORA (sent them to the genesis block), you should be included and it should work @iamlemon

I'm running Core on windows, and usage is under 10%. Its very old laptop (Acer from 2008). When Core is looking for nodes to connect, then it can be higher usage of CPU, but after connecting it should drop. Also, check version of Core you are running, if it is latest one. I can suggest you to join discord channel and describe your problems in details. Be sure that you are running 1.2.2 Core version.

Finally, people with ambition!

In theory, if I have configured the public node network correctly, old versions of The Qortal Core, will update upon reaching the update-approval block (meaning, the block that the dev team ((with 20% agreement betwixt them)) decided to 'approve' the transaction, thus making it a permanent portion of the chain, and setting a block by which updates will take place upon any node synchronizing as far.

Essentially - IF YOU'RE ON AN OLD VERSION, IT WILL AUTO-UPDATE IF MY NETWORK IS SETUP CORRECTLY.

Finally I got it run myself. I only did run the core software without the Qortal Ui firstly. However, the synchronization is pretty slow and my Qortal balance is still 0, even though I burned a large amount of Qora months ago and I used my corresponding Qora seed to login in to my Qortal wallet. Do I need to do something else in order to show up my minted share balance?

Running  qortal-1.2.2 now on 64-bit WIN7 and CPU usage is still over 50% on old i3 laptop. Because I'm not running anything with administrative privileges, real loop show starts when right clicked on qortal taskbar icon and start Synchronize clock. Don't do this at home...

How to install qortal node on Ubuntu 18.04?
which commands use?

open your qora wallet and open "http://127.0.0.1:9085/addresses/seed/your Qora  address"  to get your Qora seed.

Please someone look into this ....
Facing this issue since Genesis....
I would have understood if CPU usage is increased when finding the node etc
But the issue his... CPU usage is high all the time (Post some time after the node is started) irrespective of how many nodes the core is connected to.

I said before that scammer only trying to scam people. This is not useful and the discord is now like children place. No leader and no dev left. All left  ;D

Something like this might help:

hey! I could use a sponsor to start minting.. anybody?

I had download the wallet,but the block still keep 1 block,what should I do now?

I think I might setup a few publicly accessible nodes, but they obviously don't allow you to mint...


I think I might setup a service to host private minting VMs for people. That sounds like something that is a good plan...


Also you can purchase a raspberry pi 4, and we can provide you an image for it with our custom Qortal Kernel, that runs AMAZINGLY.

Any ARM device in theory can work, and we plan to build a bunch of custom ARM kernels.

I have noticed a few things, and I think I will be suggesting a change to the "minBlockchainPeers" in the default settings.json file.

You can also make this change manually and it has helped for me when I had a similar situation.

To make this change in windows

go to RUN, and type
in the folder it opens, instead of 'roaming', go to 'local'

in you will find , open the file

Edit settings.json and add the line (with the comma if it IS NOT the last line item before the close bracket }, and WITHOUT a comma if it IS THE LAST line item before the }.)

Linux+others

In your 'Qortal' folder, find 'settings.json' and follow above instructions to edit file and add the "minBlockchainPeers": 3

I have couple of different Orange PIs, so instructions for building will for sure help spreading nodes much faster than waiting for specific custom kernels.

This is abolute nonsense. Also, let me remind you how enthusiastic you were when you were part of that Discord. Now you're trash talking the project. Let's keep it civil, buddy.

Discord channel has now been abandoned. They were under attacks - multiple barrages from all angles possible, devised, probably by zilliqa team. Coz you know, ZIL zealots would strafe even projects unrelated to theirs, to derail, compromise and possibly procrastinate their development. Im surprised to find that you guys are still independent thinkers, and have not migrated to more fertile and much greener zilliqa paddocks. They pay developers more money, they hire more people, can u imagine, with all that cash they have.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Not sure what is going on with the nonsense lately, but let me address a few things...


The devs are still around. They are family, and not going anywhere.

There was one issue due to some drama, but it was handled in private and the one dev that was gone for a couple days is now back, so again, no issues.


We are working on the Trade Portal, and we're getting through it quite nicely. There were a few things we didn't think about as far as the UI goes, but we're getting through it, and the Trade Portal should be the next thing we push live as far as features go.


I have decided that I am not going to be doing much talking in the Discord anymore... people wishing to get in touch with me can do so in Q-Chat. Send 'new chat' to 'crowetic' and message me there.

Hi,

I really like this project. Is there any task or campaign by which I can earn the sponsorship.
I read all about the coin on wiki and understood that without sponsorship I cannot mint the coin.
I don't use discord is there any Telegram channel also ?

According to your tutorial, I have successfully linked the nodes，thanks !

I watched mine for several hours, more than 7-9% did not rise.

Where can I read your Whitepaper?

I have purchased the mining equipment of qort. Who can authorize the account number!

Anybody selling any? 

You can join the discord , look at #otc-qort-or-qora-trading , several trades made so far .

If you aren't already a minter i'd be happy to sponsor you .

I’m an investor looking to buy a big chunk of QORT. 

WTS 200 Qort 10$ every

$10 per coin?  Not bad.  Let me think about it cause I got some other deals going on.   ;D

Would you take tree-fitty per corn? 

Hello, is there a bounty tread for the project? If so, maybe someone can post a link, the project seems interesting.

Qortal creates a backup folder of blockchain before auto-update. This is a very useful feature if something goes wrong during an update. I have not seen like this before. It is GREAT!

Hi, if you are looking for bounty there its a channel in discord #bounties, take a look, i'm not sure but i think there its not any bitcointalk thread about bounty

there is no point in OTC buying/selling at this point, we are likely to be initiating the beta of the Trade Portal TOMORROW.

And a Roadmap, at least with plans by the end of this year with dates of events?

http://wiki.qortal.org/doku.php

Trying to start Qortal 1.2.2 but seems it is not working on my Windows PC. In log file I can see follow:


Also it is not possible to start UI from QORTAL tray icon.

Just posted about your issue in support section of discord , hopefully someone will help soon .

What is the issue ? You are saying that It is not working for you. But you can see QORTAL tray icon (Which means it is working). Can you give more details ?
Also better join discord for faster resolution & easier process :)

Hi. You have high latency problem. You should install some time sync app, to have accurate time running on your PC. I am running Time-Sync freeware app, and it is doing time sync every minute, so you can try this.... You need to install UI, and start is from .exe file, not from Core.

Linux is also a much better option. NTP Time is off on your node.

It is working great on Windows, so you don't have to bother with Linux, if you don't have it.

No, it's better to join Qortal General Chat in your wallet and ask there. The developer is always in touch and I like it. ;)

The chat is awesome ;D

Only thing ppl should know: the messages in the General Chat aren't persistent. They're only visible for 24 hours, so if you have anything you want to be persistent and / or searchable, Discord isn't the worst idea. It's generally a good place to keep tabs on the project, most who are involved in any way are there and you usually get fast help from the community when there's an issue.

Perhaps this is how true anonymity and decentralization should look like? How do you think?
I want to be read and understood right now, and not in 24 hours, when I will no longer need this, is there any logic in this?

This reasoning sounds a bit familiar. ;)

But this was more of a general FYI, not criticism on the chat or anything. Just something to consider. If you want to talk to someone in that very moment, and you don't want that information to stay anywhere and be gone for good after a day, it's  perfect, yes. :)

Like the decentralized aspect...Good to see project progress and initial releases...looking forward to the trading portal..

We got the information today that the trading portal is technically ready. But our main core developer isn't available for a few days, so the launch will happen once he's back next week. This makes total sense... there's nothing worse as a developer than to release something and not being able to react if there are any unforeseen bugs. :)

yep...agree

So seems it started synchronization because now core indicate block height 4074.
But how to start user interface? I can't start it from tray icon menu.

Answer is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5265163.msg54894978#msg54894978
 ;)

Discord seems to be a great place for info as well. 

Thanks, I’m checking that out now.

Great work, it’s been added to the Romanian section too.  Let’s go East bloc. 

ANN - Trade Portal Testnet going live

That's right, we're going to be going live with the TESTNET Trade Portal today.


If you're interested in testing it, you can either

1. Go into the Discord, and go to the new channel that we  made called 'trade portal testnet' - and check the pinned messages to obtain the testnet core. We will be getting the new UI version and posting that shortly.

2. Wait and I will come back and post links and a quick how-to on setting up the testnet to run the test.


The mainnet version of the Trade Portal, as long as the testnet tests go as expected today... will be going live within the next couple days. We are hoping either Tomorrow or the Next day, but need to push a core auto-update tomorrow to prepare at the very least.


I don't expect there to be any real issues with the testing today, so I expect Tomorrow or Wednesday should be a reasonable target for mainnet Trade Portal launch.

---

We have posted about the general idea of the phases of the launch in the OP, and what they will entail.

There is no point in us putting out a 'roadmap' and I have been against them for a long time.


When you're developing something TOTALLY NEW that hasn't been done before, you cannot accurately define a DATE until you are very close to completion...


The whole idea of roadmaps I think is incorrect, therefore I will not be posting one...


At this point the focus is the Trade Portal, of which we're launching the testnet for today. Then within next couple days going to mainnet...


After that, the focus will be on getting a few new features, thinking about the next coins to list, and starting work on the Voting Plugin, as the Voting system will become more and more needed as time goes on.

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

Took a look at the Trade Portal beta, and it looks good, so far! Still a limited version (as you mentioned when giving us the test files for testing the test net ;D ), but I think we're on a very good way, and it's nice to get an idea of the overall direction. Good job!!

@crowetic
Still struggling to get my client fully synchronized. Very slow, with partly high CPU usage (use an Ubuntu-based Linux distro). It also happens that if the client crashes, the blockchain file gets damaged, so that a resynchronization has to be done. Wouldn't it be a good idea to make the blockchain available for download at regular intervals?

Blockchain available for download is here: https://cryptostats.cc/qort_explorer/index.php -> QORTAL Bootstrap

I’m having the same problem.  Going on 2 days now. 

Don't have a bounty or airdrop planned? I am interested in your Qortal coin.

Buy it on trade portal in the next few days.  $100 should be a good deal.   ;D

-[ANN]- TRADE PORTAL IS LIVE!
That's right, folks... The LONG AWAITED RELEASE of the TRADE PORTAL has HAPPENED!


The core and UI should both auto-update (close the UI and re-open to get the UI update, core will do it automatically if it's running.

DIFFERENCES between a typical exchange and The Trade Portal

• The Trade portal DOES NOT REQUIRE YOU TO RELEASE CONTROL OVER YOUR COINS.
• The Trade portal does not work LINEAR in regard to trades placed and accepted.
• The Trade Portal orders at the moment, are SELLS ONLY, in order to BUY, you must click on a sell, and buy.
• You cannot take a 'partial order' in The Trade Portal, you must take the entirety of the order, or nothing. This means buyers and sellers must PLAN THEIR ORDERS ACCORDINGLY.
• There are still a lot of features and enhancements that will be made to the trade portal, starting with the minor update tomorrow which will include the SEND BTC section.
• Qortal has a FULL BTC WALLET inside, this wallet is the one that the Trade Portal Automation ('Trade Bot' for lack of a more appropriate term) makes use of in order to execute trades
• Everything in Qortal is done WITHIN YOUR CONTROL

We will have a MINOR UPDATE TOMORROW to include SEND BTC. AT the moment, you can use the wallet to receive, and place trades, buy listed sells, etc... but you cannot SEND BTC, until TOMORROW. (however, this doesn't mean that you cannot acquire the private key from the account and import it into an electrum wallet if you choose to. But it's likely a whole lot easier to just wait until tomorrow.)

I will be posting a LOT more information about it over the coming days.

THANK YOU AGAIN TO LOTW, CAT, DMAX, IRONTIGA, AND THE REST OF THE TEAM FOR EVERYTHING, AND THANK YOU TO THE COMMUNITY FOR STICKING WITH US, HELPING US GET HERE, AND HELPING OUT OTHERS TO GET INVOLVED. IT IS ONLY WITH EVERYONE THAT WE CAN MAKE THIS THE SUCCESS IT IS MEANT TO BE!
[/list]

---

Unsure as to why you're having sync issues... What system specs? The CPU usage should be lower now on the newest version, and some network enhancements were made as well. I would sugget giving that a shot...  But you have to also realize, a network with as much capability as Qortal, is going to use SOME system resources... it IS after all, capable of rebuilding the entire internet.

However, that being said, multiple things you've said are confusing to me...

1. I have not had any issues sync'ing on any machine, aside from the very start in which adding into the settings.json file fixed the issue. But I only had that happen on Windows machines for some reason, never linux...

2. The db should not have to be restarted if you don't sync all the way... in fact, it's better if you do NOT do that, and simply let the system correct itself. It will certainly do so, and you won't have to worry.

3. Giving a downloadable copy of the db is possible, but not recommended, especially now with the BTC wallet and Trade Portal, as once you login to the UI tied to the core, the db is then personalized with your BTC information, so you cannot share it. Minting also personalizes your db, but that isn't as important as the only thing the person can do with it is mint for you in that case... That being said... I think we WILL provide an 'official download' of the db... regardless of the fact that it shouldn't be necessary at all.

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

Trade portal is live and your prediction have flopped.  No volume.  Sad. 

For those of you having issues getting sync'd on Windows... here is a solution (temporary) until the next full release addresses it...

Download this - https://cloud.crowetic.com/s/jb2KATD85ioJNBL/download

(this is a copy of the latest release zip, with a start.bat, and changed settings.json file.)

Extract files

Copy your existing db folder from
(default location is here, if you have another, copy from your location obviouisly)



Run start.bat

and LEAVE CMD WINDOW THAT COMES UP OPEN/MINIMIZED, and Qortal should start, and run like normal.

Just REMEMBER TO START THIS ONE AND NOT YOUR INSTALLED VERSION FOR NOW. WE CAN SWITCH BACK AFTER NEXT UPDATE.

Everything should sync up just fine.


REMEMBER - Your DB now is personalized with ALL OF YOUR TRADE INFO, and encrypted access to your BTC keys... so DO NOT SHARE IT. Also remember, if you delete your db you're deleting ALL OF YOUR TRADE HISTORY.


Welcome to DECENTRALIZED. No domains, no hosted anything, everything LOCAL on YOUR SYSTEM. Which means too, that basically 'you're the server'... so act accordingly with database stuff, back it up if you intend to mess with it at all, etc... You are now IN CONTROL OF YOUR OWN LIFE. THIS COMES WITH SOME ADDED RESPONSIBILITY AND A BUNCH OF ADDED AWESOMENESS.

New UI version build in progress, release will take place in a few minutes. This starts the first OFFICIAL TRADE DAY OF THE PORTAL... with fixes for the live sell orders to be listed by price both directions, and ability to SEND BTC from the internal BTC wallet in Qortal.

A bounty is up for 10-20 QORT for anyone who will do a walk-thru video PROFESSIONAL. See my post below from discord for more info...

My tiny amount of BTC inside the internal Qortal BTC wallet

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/357242391750508545/741451462202359808/unknown.png


All you do is send coin to your internal wallet, then you can use it on the trade portal.

---

Uh, for one, we didn't have listings in order... for two... there were sync issues on Windows that I had to come up with solution for... third... there aren't that many people aware of it yet... it will take a little time for people to become aware, get installed for the first time, and get BTC into the wallet, etc... also to understand how everything works, and everything else...

Thinking that IMMEDIATELY there would be tons of volume, is ignorant. Saying my prediction flopped before more than 15 people have likely seen it... is silly.

---

Over the next couple days I will be working on some walk-thru videos to post for people so they have a better overall understanding and specific understandings of individual plugins inside Qortal.

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

Dude, where’s my easy free overnight bags of cash? 

BTW, consider adding the oldest and and legit alt as a trade pairs. Could help boost volume.  Ixcoin (ixc).  ;)

Core updated, confirmed update of UI. Syncing was bad and after core restart suddenly stopped working. Tried temporary version and got same errors:

Selling 200 QORT for $2 per coin.  Thanks. 

Not a bad price. No nibbles yet?  Bad sign after all the hype.  :/

You started this hype or? Because I have not seen it.

so, this project didn't tradeable on any exchange yet ?
because you try to sell your Qort here my friend

how to me obtain a Sponsorship from a level 5+ minter, or a Founder on the Network.

if i want to join a full node ?

please response with quote my messages

Ктo тeбя oбидeл, чтo ты тaк cтpaдaeшь?

check ,register qortal discord
there section #if -you-need-sponsorship...

thanks for the answer  8). and how about the tutorial

злыe люди.

Tepпeниe мoй дpyг. Bce бyдeт.

cкopo?

I will be starting some tutorials within the next couple days, so that people can see exactly how to use the cross-chain trades in the Trade Portal inside Qortal.


You simply

1. Fund your BTC wallet inside Qortal - Wallets - BTC wallet - get your address and send it BTC.

(right now there are a few little 'issues' with the BTC wallet, as we're reliant upon the electrum network (to avoid needing BTC full nodes) and sometimes the reply from electrum isn't fast enough. We will be addressing this in future versions... But either way, DO NOT DELETE YOUR CHAIN DB... it has all your encrypted keys and local stored trades, so you'll want to keep it. Sync issues can be resolved without deleting your db, so you shouldn't ever have any reason to delete it.)

2. Go to 'Trade Portal' and see the open market sells that are listed.

(at the moment you cannot list buy orders, you can only list sells, and buyers can choose the sell, click it, and buy it.)

(REMEMBER - since this is a TRUE decentralized cross-chain trade, you may only accept the FULL order that is listed. There ARE NO PARTIAL ORDERS on cross-chain trading systems. In fact, that's a good way to know if you are actually trading cross-chain or not. We may be able to in the future, with the use of the BTC lightning network, change this... but right now this is how it is.)

3. Click the order you want to buy, and click 'buy' at the bottom where buy and sell orders are placed.

4. The 'trade bot' will take over from there, accepting the seller's placed ACCT AT, and finishing the cross-chain trade for you.

(REMEMBER - you MUST keep your Qortal Core running, you don't have to keep your UI running, but the core must be running in order for the bot to be able to accomplish its tasks. Do not close your core.)

That's it! We have made the process quite simple considering the level of complexity of the tasks actually taking place when these orders are fulfilled. I think once everything is ironed out just a little more, people will find they like the Trade Portal MUCH better than any exchange.


We will be working on listing Litecoin into Qortal next, then we will focus on the Voting System, so that all future decisions may be made in the method in which Qortal was intended, by the community vote.

Fixed with complete deinstall/install of Core and UI. BTW, latest UI (1.2) was not possible to install, double clicking installation exe did nothing. Installed older version of UI and did upgrade afterwards.
Conclusion: Qortal is not working as it should on 64-bit WIN7 when used with non-administrative account. UI is not saving accounts, click on "synchronize clock" starts endless loop and online upgrades can break installation and result with errors like upper one.

Thanks, unfortunately, the download link does not work. Qora Bootstrap link on the site points to https://cryptostats.cc/qort_explorer/qortal-bootstrap.tar.gz which returns an 404 error. Any alternative available?

For now there is some problem with network and syncing. We waiting for fixing.
You may join to Discord to have a new information: https://discord.gg/xdSZ5zA

“$100 imminent guaranteed.”

-ANNouncement- Stability issues and CPU usage issues RESOLVED. WINDOWS USERS MUST RUN THIS INSTALLER for version 1.3.2!

Version 1.3.2 of the Qortal Core - MAJOR stability and performance increases with CPU decrease. Windows users have to run this installer REGARDLESS. Even if they're able to get the auto-update and stay sync'd... This version has an improvement in the .exe, which can only be modified via installation, and the Auto-Update process cannot make this change. Therefore, windows users specifically, must update MANUALLY for this version. After this version no further manual updates will be required. Linux users do not have to do anything and can update automatically or manually.

Automatic Update will take place tomorrow.

Downloads here - https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases

Windows direct installer - https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases/download/v1.3.2/Qortal-1.3.2.exe

Universal/Linux/Mac direct download - https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases/download/v1.3.2/qortal-1.3.2.zip

• 1.3.0 is VERY old, and had multiple bugs. We have not issued an auto-update to remove this version, as the update will do db changes that take time at launch. So we needed people to be updated FIRST, before auto-update potentially took a lot of nodes down at the same time for too long.
• Windows users MUST run 1.3.2 installer REGARDLESS.
• Windows bugs all resolved.
• Stability issues resolved.
• Sync issues resolved.
• Now the fun begins!

We are extremely pleased to have finally resolved the multiple small issues that caused larger ones, and plagued us since the Trade Portal launch. Now we are certain we have again a STABLE network, on which focus can begin on further improvements, and BRINGING INTERESTED PRIVATE INVESTORS to the project, where they can BUY DIRECTLY ACROSS CHAIN FROM BTC and soon, LTC as well.

We will be working on the following, next...

- Addition of LTC to the Trade Portal (BTC is great and all, but it is simply too slow for a portal, as it requires multiple confirms per trade to take place cross-chain. Therefore, a similar, yet faster option, is LTC, Litecoin, which has much faster block times, and therefore will be much faster overall. BTC is 'gold' anyway, therefore IMO isn't the greatest to trade with unless dealing in large amounts. LTC will be a welcome listing to the Trade Portal.

- After listing LTC, we will begin work on the Voting System of Qortal. This system is what is meant to guide the platform into the future, lead by the community, and votes that are weighted based on your level, which comes directly from your personal contributions towards Qortal's network, or overall ecosystem in any of the agreed and programmed methods. Right now the only method is Minting, but that will change in the future, as we continue along the plan of the multiple launch phases.

- We will also now with the network being stable, be able to start reaching out to our friends we know with finances, and interest in owning a piece of the next generation of the internet (along with every business built atop it, and every service working within it) by purchasing some QORT coins on the Trade Portal. (with NO RISK OF LOSS CAUSED BY HACKS AND NONSENSE LIKE ON A CENTRALIZED EXCHANGE.)

- Remember that Qortal is not 'new', we have been building it for a very long time, and we have in-depth plans to span decades, through multiple dev teams. We will always need people, devs, and those willing to assist in any possible way, to join the network, get yourself established, and begin to see the awesomeness so that you can then relay it to your friends and family, and get them setup in the world's new system.



We look forward to the future with great anticipation. We have much in the pipe that will blow a lot of minds, and I for one am very excited about it.

I wrote a quick how-to for obtaining and applying sponsorship.

-ANN- New version 1.3.3 Auto-Update has been completed.


We have issued 1.3.3 auto-update. Windows users don't even need to run 1.3.2 installer anymore if they can get sync'd to the update block.

Onward and upward.


(p.s. - if anyone has any interested parties who may like to be a private investor into a few of the new things I am putting together to be tied to Qortal, please let me know. Thanks!)

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

I can confirm lower CPU usage of 1.3.2 and 1.3.3 Qortal core. I'ts around half of what it was with previous versions. Even UI is now more responsive with lower CPU usage of the core.

Hi, I still have my Qora, is still possible to transfer it to Qortal?

Regards.

its too late,but u can keep your qora,somepeople still keep their qora and pos online.

that they prefer to make money off passively staking the coins is a clear indicator of people's stupidity. How short-sighted, how provincial and limited in intellectual sense a human head should be to keep its body and free range mind within the constrains imposed on it by adherence to lazy ways of decision making. Unproductive at best this approach is. But what do I know. May these stakers be buried in a sauce of their own damnation.

You ok there buddy?  ???

I was very disappointed, I was given sponsorship, but I did not receive level 1, constant problems and wallet updates did not allow me to do this, although I was online, I even bought a dedicated server, but I could not get the level. When I asked for sponsorship for the second time in the wallet chat, the developer began to be smart, who are you? what did you do good for the coin? freak. in addition, the only coin that I had and that I placed in the order on the trading portal was missing (((this is a shitcoin from a developer with an inflated self-esteem, which is worth nothing. and I wish the price to be below zero in the future.

This is easy to solve, what is the address to your minter?

There is a public blockchain explorer and several API enabled public nodes that can be used in order to verify your claim.

Great to be back on here and see this activity. Shame my Qora is still locked up @Polo all these years later, would have loved  to participate prior to launch. Oh well, can't cry over spilled milk.

So from what I'm reading, I need to give my public key to a minter or founder to participate as a minter. Any takers, please PM me, I'd love to take part.

Check out the Discord channel, you can ask there.

Pinned messages from #if-you-need-sponsorship Discord channel:  


In short, if nobody knows who you are, asking for sponsorship will get you nowhere.  
If you are new, then stick around and see what you can do for the Qortal network. Prove your worth. Then if somebody appreciates your contribution, they might sponsor you.

Thank you, joined last night, reading a ton to get caught up.

ANN - VERSION 1.3.4 WITH FULLY STABLE BTC AND TRADE PORTAL NOW LIVE, AUTO-UPDATE ISSUED.

As stated above, the new version 1.3.4 has FULLY STABILIZED EVERYTHING. Including BTC wallet, and Cross-Chain Trade Portal.


We are extremely pleased to announce that everything is now fully stable. Now the fun can truly begin.

After a TREMENDOUS effort from our community and team, we have fully stabilized every aspect of our FULLY CUSTOM CODEBASE. Now we can focus on getting users to the portal, as well as moving on to the next stages.

- We will be listing LTC on the portal soon.

- We are considering taking an 'un-official vote' (since we haven't built the internal voting system yet) in Discord, as far as listing DGB and LTC prior to building out the voting system on-chain.

- We hope everyone is as excited as we are, and can get some people interested in supporting the project now in a totally trustless fashion, BY PURCHASING QORT ON THE TRADE PORTAL DIRECTLY WITH BTC.





We have supported development and everything completely ourselves, doing everything the right way, awaiting the release of THIS VERSION, to stabilize the portal and sync issues enough to be able to confidently push the use of the Trade portal to acquire QORT, for investors interested in supporting the project. NONE of the devs or anyone that assisted in the development, has been paid aside from me personally supporting them, WAITING FOR THIS POINT, that we can all be PAID BY THE PLATFORM ITSELF, and those interested in OWNING A PIECE OF THE NEW INTERNET, AND EVERY COMPANY BUILT ON TOP OF IT, AT THE SAME TIME BY PURCHASING SOME QORT ON THE TRADE PORTAL.

to purchase on the trade portal, it is VERY SIMPLE.


1. Install and sync the core

2. install the UI

3. Go to wallet-BTC and get your BTC address for your internal native Qortal BTC wallet.

4. Send BTC to your native Qortal BTC wallet

5. Go to 'Trade Portal' in the UI

6. See the listed sell orders on the order books, and find one you would like to purchase.

7. click the order you want, then click buy, and WATCH THE MAGIC HAPPEN.


**remember - since we're doing an ACTUAL CROSS-CHAIN TRADE, there are a few things to keep in mind...

- it takes 3 confirms for the trade to complete, you will see the status of the trade update in the UI, as the various portions are completed automatically on the back end.

- you MUST LEAVE YOUR CORE RUNNING in order for the automation there to be able to complete the trade for you.

- simply accept the order, click buy, and WAIT, the rest is TOTALLY AUTOMATED.

- Begin to UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS WE HAVE HERE... A FULLY DECENTRALIZED TRADE PLATFORM THAT IS AS EASY TO USE AS A CENTRALIZED EXCHANGE.

-NOW.. REJOICE FOR YOU HAVE BOUGHT A PART OF THE FUTURE, IN YOUR QORT PURCHASE!

links on https://qortal.org/index.php/howtoanddownloads/ have been updated as well as the links on the OP. you can always check our Qortal Github Releases page (https://github.com/qortal/qortal/releases) as well.

ENJOY!

Community user has created us some bbcode forum signatures for Qortal open sourced here - https://github.com/CjMapope/QortSigs

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

Can't wait to try the stable trade portal tomorrow morning. So excited to be alive when such technology is being built around us.


Waited for them for a long time. Kudos to the contributors! :) Will surely sport them around when I finish my current assignment.

I went back to the old garbage, Qora rises from the dead as a qortal. What an excitement ...  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

For years, I've been a loyal QORA holder and now saw the switch towards Qortal. How can I swap my QORA to Qortal? Thanks.

If this is the case, it's scammy af.

There were years without real updates and then suddenly you have to switch your QORA within a very short time frame in order to still "be on board"?

Why not show any love for loyal long-term supporters?

The way this swap-process has been designed makes it look like the main purpose of this move was to increase your share while cutting of community members from the project. Too much corruption driven by greed involved.

There was a period to swap Qora on the new blockchain. Unfortunately this period is over, so you have no possibility to bring your Qora to Qortal.
Here is the old thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1358722.3540) with all necessary information. Qora still exists as a network, so you can still spend your Qora.

Hey, I just set up a node on a server. But Im not sure where to look to get an invite to mint. Ill definitely have good uptime on my server, I can offer that. Is there a process to go through?

 ;D ;D Good！

Go to the Discord server and there is a channel set up to ask. Or better yet, use the Qortal chat in the wallet.

If you were actually a long-term loyal supporter, maybe you would have checked in and maybe seen if you could do anything to help in the last... uh, I don't know... 2 YEARS?

The burn period (WHICH IS NOT A SWAP but such a loyal supporter as yourself may already know this, no?) was EXTENDED MULTIPLE TIMES, and lasted a VERY long time, with MANY announcements taking place in multiple locations prior to the FINAL FINAL date, which was over a YEAR after the initial 'final date'.


You are butt-hurt because you didn't pay any attention and now a new promising project arises from something you could have gained something from, and your greed overtook your mind during this post...


BUT... WHAT YOU FAILED TO REALIZE IS...


 1. This is NOT a SWAP... it is a SLOW transition, in fact, the QORA transition will take over 10 years to fully distribute the QORT to QORA holders at 250 to 1 (QORA to QORT) ratio...

2. If you WERE actually a REAL SUPPORTER OF QORA... maybe you FORGED BLOCKS? You know, as a SUPPORTER of the network MAY? IF YOU DID THIS... YOU ARE STILL ENTITLED, EVEN NOW, TO A PRE-LEVELED QORTAL MINTING ACCOUNT, which will EARN MUCH MORE than your probably small QORA holdings in the transition would have.

3. Addressing this project with the term SCAMMY, is completely idiotic, and you make yourself look a total fool. Do you feel better after doing this? Or maybe you'd like to re-think and potentially become part of the project that will re-build the world.

THE FACTS ARE - YOU DIDN'T PAY ANY ATTENTION TO A PROJECT YOU CLAIM TO BE A LONG-TERM SUPPORTER OF, THEN GOT INTO A HISSY FIT WHEN YOU REALIZED A NEW AND MOST LIKELY VERY SUCCESSFUL PROJECT CAME FROM WHAT YOU HAD... AND BEFORE YOU REALIZED THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO ADDRESS PEOPLE NICELY AND GET A MINTING ACCOUNT THAT WOULD MAKE MORE, YOU ATTACK THE PROJECT WHICH MAKES YOUR TRUE INTELLIGENCE LEVEL SHINE RIGHT THROUGH.

Get on your way if you are the type of person who would rather come in and be a fool, than address people with a brain, and some kindness, and most likely get yourself MUCH FURTHER.

The best place to get sponsorship to mint, is either in the internal Q-Chat communications in the Qortal UI, (which requires a fully sync'd Qortal node to utilize) or the Qortal Discord server (for now, until we fully move everything to Q-Chat once we have a few more features completed.)

The community is very active and helpful. Join us.

Market is getting some traction now when the minor issue has been resolved. It seems that people are more confident in using the Trade Portal.
You can preview orders and trades completed using the Trade Portal:  

https://exqlorer.com/market  
 
I suggest you setup a node and try to get sponsorship if you haven't already:  

https://steemit.com/qort/@traxo/how-to-setup-a-qortal-node-on-vultr-vps-ubuntu-18-04

joining this nice project yes!

That's awesome. True decentralization.
But how can I get my BTC private key if it's in local wallet ?
Suppose I am in another city and don't want to trade on Trade Portal anymore and I need to transfer my BTC.
The entire Qortal database is in another city, BTC inside this database.
Can you provide instructions on how to access private key?
After all, I will not take with me everywhere the entire Qortal database, which already takes 8-10 GB
.

You will simply log into your account on another installation of the core/ui and your same BTC xpriv will be generated and saved in the new db. You simply need to backup your Qortal Account, with the encrypted backup file, the BTC account will be the same for each Qortal account.

It is insecure to give private key directly. The most secure way to get back into the same wallet, is to import your encrypted saved Qortal backup, and do it that way.

I do not like the idea of dumping the xpriv unencrypted, it gives a method for the xpriv to potentially end up in the wrong hands. Doing it in the method described above will yield the same results in a much more secure fashion.

**Also a NOTE** - You do NOT need to sync the entire Qortal Chain, in order to make transactions on the BTC wallet. So... you can simply INSTALL the Qortal UI and core, then send the BTC out while it is still synchronizing, if you don't want a full Qortal setup on the other machine.



Something else to keep in mind - we WILL be offering a method in the future, to allow a Qortal install to NOT sync the entire chain, and only the 'top'. So you will in the future be able to utilize both Qortal, and BTC, without having to sync the entire chain.

We have, however, decreased the db size by quite a bit in the new version, AND made it so the sync times are a LOT faster... However, in order to get full advantage of the first point, you WILL have to re-sync the chain from 0 with 1.3.5 installed... unfortunately the older versions of the db retain the larger size and there isn't anything to do other than sync again from 0 then re-import your minting key if you're a minter. Keep in mind, if you have orders placed, you will want to remove them and put them back after the re-sync. (which you can do even after deleting your db, with the new feature in the UI to remove 'stuck orders'.)

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation.
It is very good that it is not necessary to re-download  DB every time to a new PC if you need access to the BTC.
What other coins do you plan to add to the Trade Portal in the near future?

Absolutely, that's what I'm here for at the moment, is to clearly explain the plan and details of the project in ways that people can understand. My pleasure.

At the moment, the plan is...

• Build support manually for a library supporting LTC
• Build support manually for local LTC support and internal LTC wallet

Every coin Qortal supports, we must build EVERYTHING manually, as there honestly isn't anything out there good enough to be part of our codebase, and since EVERYTHING in Qortal is TRULY DECENTRALIZED, the only way for Qortal's Trade Portal to function, is to have NATIVE support for EVERY listed coin on the platform.

This means that for Qortal to support a coin, our development team must build FROM SCRATCH both a library, AND a wallet, totally securely, to support the coin we're planning to list. So it's a little effort involved.

However...

once we list LTC, the next focus becomes THE VOTING SYSTEM. As this is the plan for the future of the platform overall. Everything is to be controlled by votes of the users, with influence based on their measured contributions to the network in the supported methods.

So we list LTC, then we build the voting system, and the voting system is then used to put up PROPOSALS to list other coins in the future (as well as make any and all important decisions on the platform.)

So we will do the LTC listing to have a faster, cheaper coin to trade with, then focus our attention on making everything we have perfect, and building the voting system, which then controls future listings, based on proposals and subsequent votes by leveled users of the system.

Hopefully this helps you gain some clarity with my current ideas for the future.

Hey guys. Love the ideas I've read in here so far. I just started with Qortal as it was recommended to me by a Devcoin (DVC) developer (Traxo on bitcointalk).

The timeserver sync and check on Windows is amazing! And very intriguing. ;)

Only problem I'm having is I've installed both the Windows EXE files from the latest github release, Qortal (the app 1.3.5) and the current UI. Running the UI and the app is no problem. It does use a lot of memory but I got memory to spare!

I just am stuck synchronizing the app at 68% but it says on the UI that I am stuck at just short of 60,000 blocks.

I have peers connected, are there ports I need to let through my firewall? Also my windows notifications said I received a message from a Qortal user when I ran the client first last night and I can't find it anywhere in the UI. :(

The UI still has a few little bugs... such as the bug you're mentioning now...


I would suggest...

• kill the UI
• Wait for the core to be 100% synchronized.
• restart the UI

See if the caching issue is resolved.

(This is literally just an issue with the UI caching the incorrect block height, and not displaying correctly, as long as when you mouseover the blue Q icon on the taskbar, and it says 'synchronizing xx% - height - xx,xxx' you're good, just let it finish to 100%.)

When it gets fully sync'd the icon on the taskbar, upon mouseover, will say 'not minting - height - xx,xxx', at which point you're sync'd. THEN start the UI, and you should be good.


Once you're sync'd and account created, go into 'communications - Q-chat' and send a message in 'Qortal General Chat' and I will send you some QORT so that you can register your name on the chain, and potentially join whichever groups you may be interested in joining on the chain.

You can also send me a PM on-chain by going to 'new chat' and sending to 'crowetic', and message me. :)

Hi All, I have made an indepth Trade Portal Video, hope you enjoy it! Amazing technology. Easily the best first trading experience i have had on any blockchain and this one is Cross chain! I also have a Windows guide too for those who are interested.

When ltc/qort ?

In Trade Portal I see only 'Open Market Sell Orders', but how to see 'Buy Orders' ?

That functionality has not been released yet. Coming soon. At this point, you can only purchase sell orders in full.

can some one give a tutorial or guide on how to setup and earn with qortal. the nodes are syncing now , but not sure what to do next.

you need to be sponsored in order to mint. you should read on the webpage and all the info there to get a deeper understanding on how it works.

That is correct. Also, check out discord: https://discord.gg/Pp4H6UK . There you can see if you can contribute to platform and gain sponsorship.

This should answer some of your questions: Minting in Qortal https://youtu.be/g3bx_crP8Jg (https://youtu.be/g3bx_crP8Jg)

Giving it another go tonight - I hope I can sync. :)

Hi to all.
Check out this How-to Guide for rebuilding your database. If you started with Qortal when Genesis launched, your database may be over 30 GB. Here is guide for rebuilding your database with latest available core version. Database will be around 10 GB after rebuild. Also, you can see how to add minting account.

Qortal - How to rebuild your database & add minting account

https://youtu.be/JPQdyoUSHGc

thank you for the info. just finished syncing up my node. it was very slow every with multiple connections . I need a sponsor now i guess .

For those that doesnt know, you can use the trading bot on discord. Works really great and you can indeed buy/sell fractions and not the entire lump as you do in the trading portal. Just a tips :)

Things are progressing nicely.

I have updated the website - https://qortal.org - should be a bit simpler to understand, etc.

Also, we're in progress on multiple fronts development wise...


1. We are working out solutions to the large db, which is caused (a large portion anyway) by the 'AT states' for the Trade portal filling up the db.

- we plan to both have a new way for the ATs to function wherein they don't need communication each block, and thus reducing the overall amount of data needed to be saved, and also improving the methods at which the db functions.

2. We are working out the listing of LTC, however, the process is going to take a little longer than initially expected... as most things go that are done correctly.

- We are not far off either way though, and LTC should be able to be added within a relatively short period.



AT THE MOMENT

What we need is for some people to USE THE TRADE PORTAL.

version 1.2.4 UI and 1.3.5 core the trade portal is functional. There is never any risk of loss, so we simply need people to put some BTC in their local Qortal BTC wallet, and use the trade portal to pick up some of these EXTREMELY LOW PRICE orders. (which they will be very happy about in the future.) so we should focus on that, and a bit more marketing and information.

syncing keeps getting stuck after 91% :(

Are you sure the sync is STUCK, or is it just moving slower? Try restarting your core and see if that helps, if not we have a lot of improvements upcoming.

Here is a great image put together by The Qortal Community illustrating the steps involved in a cross-chain trade in the Trade Portal. I thought this image was a great representation, so I decided to share it here so those outside Discord might see it.

I am also going to post it on the Qortal main website.

Thank you to the community for the great work!

Trading is now live on https://www.btcmax.com/trade/QORT_USDT

as far as I can see, up to 1 BTC no KYC is required either :)

GO QORT!!

Nice starting bids  8)

What is it for? I don't see any point in this at all.
Another CENTRALIZED Exchange.
Qortal was not created for this.
We have a wonderful Trade Portal where:
You are the server,
You are the Exchange,
You are an independent node.
It is wonderful.
You trade with other people, and all funds are stored on your own PC. You are not transferring money to some third party exchange.
Complete decentralization.
We just need more pairs to the Trading Portal and forget about these centralized controlled exchanges.

I think you are missing the point, Qort's goal is to be very decentralized to the point that even a centralized exchange can choose to list it if they wish.

The developers didn't push for this. The listing was done by someone outside of the developer team and it is their freedom to do it.

Qort developers are not putting any restrictions on exchange listing, they just don't encourage it or support centralized exchanges.

They would rather have people use the DEX as it would be more secure than trading on an exchange that might get hacked, funds locked, shut down, etc.

- ANN - New version 1.3.6 of the Qortal Core, addressing db size, BTC stability, and more.

Version 1.3.6 of the core has been released, we will NOT do an auto-update until many nodes have been updated manually first...


This version addresses DB size, includes the first 'trimming' method that removes old online account signatures, and keeps them trimmed to certain size, along with other trimming to keep db around 6GB and not increasing.

This version fixes the trade portal and BTC functionality making it much more stable and functional.

Now we can really start promoting harder.


Next steps:

1. List LTC for faster, cheaper trades.

2. Get the voting system going

3. Take votes for future listings

4. Start designing app, even if the app is only a wallet and Q-Chat (or maybe two different apps)

5. Add features to Q-Chat beyond what we've already added, with emojis, etc... add the ability to store messages longer on each individual machine, etc.

When web hosting ?

Giving this another shot on my poor Intel core i3 lol. But after reading about leap seconds and the slowing of the Earth's rotation on its access, I would like to keep my clocks in sync on my humble, but efficient machine. :)

Definitely install the new version - https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases/download/v1.3.7/Qortal-1.3.7.exe

If you are coming from an older version chain db... you will have a 're-shape' that takes place upon initial start. This may take some time to complete.

After that it will start and many issues are resolved. Including less CPU usage for your i3. ;)

I think I'm going to cry. I saw the last link was for 1.3.6 and I've been syncing for two days and still am only at 84%... what do I do now?

EDIT - Alright I deleted my old 1.3.6 AppData. And the wizard for 1.3.7 is running. I'll be back in December when I finally get this running.

1.37 was a breeze updated both my windows and mac nodes and everythings working fine. Thanks crow.

Very glad to hear it. :)

Been stuck at 40% for the last hour :(

1.3.6 was at 84% after 2 days. I deleted all the files, rebooted my PC, and it was moving along all day til now. What do I gotta do? My time says its exact

Followed instructions for the bootstrap off of github release page. I will report back. All this for a coin I can't afford buying and probably won't be competitive enough to mint lol. Blockchain looks worth it tho!

There is no 'competition' to mint... did you read the distribution? Every minter shares every block's reward, if they're online and sync'd with a minting key assigned. The level of the minter denotes their share of the reward...

You don't 'compete'... you simply stay online and mint.

I'm on Level 0 I'm dumb as rocks when I try to create a minting key it won't let me. I was donated 11 QORT and I thank you who did that :)

I will sponsor you...

In order to become a level 1 minter on Qortal you must FIRST obtain SPONSORSHIP from another minter of level 5 or higher, or a Qortal Founder.

1. You will get the sponsorship key from me, and attach that in 'node management' - 'add minting account' - assign the sponsorship key.

2. You will remain online and synchronized for 7200 online blocks ('blocksminted' in Qortal API call for account.) - once you have done this, you will BECOME level 1 (it will show at the top left of the Qortal UI)

3. THEN you remove the sponsorship key from node management - click it, and input the sponsorship key again when prompted to remove - and CREATE your own MINTING KEY by issuing 'Reward Share' - 'New Reward Share' - 0% - to YOUR OWN PUBLIC KEY (which can be found by clicking the settings toggle at the top right of the Qortal UI where it will show account information)

4. The key that pops up when you issue your reward share 0% to your own public key - is your MINTING KEY - now assign this key in node management add minting account just like you did with the initial sponsorship key.

That's it... you will never again have to change this key, and can continue minting on Qortal.

Just reporting to Bitcointalk community all is going well and I am now Level 1 with my own key thanks to crowetic's help :)

Congrats! Onward to Level 2 Minter.

We were unaware of the rule against giveaway posts, EVERYONE PLEASE REMOVE ALL LINKS TO ANY GIVEAWAY POSTS. thank you and apologies to forum admins.

Awesome Community Initiative for everyone to participate in!

So do I understand this right. to be a minter you need to get sponsorship from someone who is level 5 in the discord or qchat?

I am not particularly keen on chatrooms or chat servers.

Is there another way to get sponsorship without joining discord or qchat.?

I read your whole announcement.   I actually find this project very interesting.

The first time in a while I see pure hard-core developers working with a vision in mind and passion in the heart. Pretty much like Satoshi if you ask me.

Qortal is something else guys. Definitely not the typical, mediocre altcoin. Looking forward to the raffle!  8)

Yes, you are understanding correctly. If you want to be a Qortal Minter, you will need to interact with a Level 5 Minter and/or Founder via Discord or Q-Chat.

This is a great project, looking forward to where it goes from here!

Yes, initiative must be shown by anyone looking to become a minter on The Qortal Network. Then a continually connected node of any type after an initial bit of interaction with the community.

The easiest way to interact with the community is in the UI, in Q-Chat.

I myself am there a lot, waiting for people that I can then donate QORT to and sponsor. So it really isn't that difficult overall... but yea, you must communicate and show initiative in order to become a minter... that is the only investment required (that and a 5W or higher computer system.)

We don't believe it is that much of an issue to obtain sponsorship, then once you become your own minter, you no longer need to communicate, you simply keep helping the network grow by running your node.

Thank you brother, your words are appreciated.


Yes, we have been developing Qortal to provide a real, new infrastructure for the world to make use of in any number of ways.


We believe we have a very great starting platform which will only get better as time goes on.

Does anyone knows the settings for using TOR ?

Great event!

I don't believe that functionality is available in the projects current state, so there would be no setting for that. Not saying some iteration of TOR like functionality won't be available, just not a priority compared to other desired deliverables. The beauty of Qortal is it is built to support such features and any 3rd party can leverage Qortal to make it happen, if not today in the very near future.

I know we had a Qortal node on the Tor network at one point... I will have to ask dmax about it and get the method of configuration, as I believe he might be the only one to have done it so far.

I will post here once I know the answer.

Qortal's biggest failure is that people with level 5 accounts with sponsorship ability almost don't have the ability to promote qortal. Or do not actively promote the growth of the qortal community.
A person with a level 5 account mints 18 times more coins than a level 1 and 2 account.
I think these reasons will make qortal very unhealthy.

I was offered a sponsorship within a few days of participating in the community, so my experience has been different. If it was POW or POS, I'd either have to invest in mining equipment or money in my stake or both. In Qortal's Minting, my only investment is my time & engagement with the community.

Not a bad trade off for no monetary investment, even if I earn 18x less. As each day progresses, the gap between minting rewards slowly narrows. In a sense, this is no different than anything else, the early adopters enjoy the most benefits. Ultimately, time will tell.

Pictures worth a 1,000 Qort (maybe)
https://join.qortal.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/JQR.png (https://join.qortal.org/)

     This is an excellent opportunity to get ahead in this blockchain project without a lot of invested time or having been an early adopter.  Someone will have a good Christmas.

Pro Tip:  This coin was trading at 1USD with no real loss until a scam exchange clone appeared and fleeced the residents  in ignorance.  Though the exchange clone has exit scammed and disappeared, the value that it fabricated to drive the price down stuck.  If you like money, this one is a steal if you can find a real seller at this price.  I can't.

They also have a Discord bot that facilitates trading as well as the trade portal in their UI.  There is literally no need for any exchanges whatsoever with this cryptocurrency.

This project is so different to anything else on here. ill say it again I find it very very interesting. I am going to dig out a pc to run as a node.  8) 

   

Do it! I just hit level 1, took about a week after getting sponsored. Thanks to everyone so far!

How long does the core windows package take to sync?

it says connection 1 - height 1

---

its ok i have it fired up now  8)

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

For any future users, there is a Boostrapped DB in the GitHub

My first sync took over night, FWIW.

I'm not saying that qortal is bad. I just think people with level 5 accounts don't take the initiative to promote qortal. While other people who have the ability to promote do not have a level 5 account, so it is very difficult for qortal to grow.
This is a matter that needs to be solved urgently.

I can understand how you could feel that way, however, it is not a level 5's responsibility to promote Qortal. Although, that would be nice and some do. Their intended role in the beginning is to act as Gatekeepers who engage/sponsor newcomers that have shown a willingness to support the network, promote Qortal or help in any other capacity. But as we know, in any job or social setting, especially in crypto, 10% of the community will do 90% of the work.

thanks i'll check it out. to use qortal does my machine have to be on 24/7 or can i fire up my node every time I come online. as i usually turn my pc off when i go out.

I think Qortal's biggest problem is people making up numbers to suit their own interest.


A level 5 garners about 5 QORT per day where a level 1 gains around 1 and change.
This is LITERALLY less than 5x more.

Level 5 accounts were granted to holders of QORA based on various actions with that coin.  They hold these accounts due to investment and not because they promised to create advertisement.

Your statement sounds like this to all of us...

"I do not hold an account that places me in dominance.  I'd like to defecate on the current establishment in a childish attempt to elevate myself as a boon to advertisement.  Clearly, they have no clue what they are doing.  I will begin with a fabricated astronomical statistic in hopes to FUD my way into a better position."

well played, sir.

You are denigrating a promotion to say "They don't promote".

You dont need to run it 24/7. On every start it will take some time for syn the chain, while you were offline ( few minutes). After that, you can use it as normal. You shall be online all time if you are buying or selling, untill trade is closed.

I'm doing my best jeez

anyway to make this sync faster i have had it on all day and only 35% synced?

thanks

Go to the latest Qortal release on Github https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases (https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases), then scroll down to db-v1.3.7-171850.zip and follow directions to use the bootstrap.

thank you sir. i am on block 171850 now  ;D

You're welcome. After you have a Qortal address, follow that link in my signature for a chance to win up to 1,000 Qort or a Minting Sponsorship.

There will be many modifications to the system, including new rewards methods, leveling methods, etc.

The system was built to reward those who built it, and contributed to it prior to it being built by supporting the QORA network, a little bit more at the BEGINNING.

The system will level out, as everyone increases in level.

New methods being implemented will increase the variety of earning potential, as well as the input that ultimately leads to gain in influence and reward on the network.


EVERYTHING WILL BALANCE OUT, but it made sense to reward the creators and people who assisted getting the platform launched a bit more in the beginning.

If the wiki data does not show error, then the number of coins per day for each level 5 account is:7200*0.15/30=36 coins.

thank you will check it out.

Rumor has it there are 2 major features in the next Qortal release. If you are considering dabling in a Crypto, I highly suggest you don't just read over this. Heck, they're giving away free Qort in the discord all the time and raffling some off to.

If the wiki data does not show error, then the number of coins per day for each level 5 account is:7200*0.15/30=36 coins.
[/quote]

You know what?  That is a perfectly logical response.

Unfortunately, I find it unlikely that they will change their tone on the topic.
the reason for this is that each and every Level 5 has that position because they sustained the QORA project singlehandedly, until it was transmogrified into what we see here.

They are responsible for your having a Qortal to criticize.

Also, they and the founders sign the majority of blocks so that you can have a system where you need input no computing effort.

If the ratio of newer users that are going to be usurping the level five share by putting in the time to gain level five is undesirable, then clearly they need more new users.

Logically, this leads to your original statement and I can only assume you find yourself in a better position to advertise.

Unfortunately, you are looking at the wrong people.

Advertisement is the luxury of any user but it is the responsibility of the founders.

with the capacity your posture hails from, I also assume you joined the raffle as You will clearly win the grand prize.
At that time, I'm fairly certain the founders would reach out to you.


Else, all the level ones and twos can do is put in the time and level up to further dilute their pool.

Bear in mind that at some time in the future, even the founders will only draw 5 percent.

So I put BTC in my wallet. Noticed a bug in the UI Trade Portal when I couldn't edit my offer with the cursor and text so I overpaid for a total of 6 Qortal like 8 offers higher than the current to test if I could buy with my BTC from within the Trade Portal. It's stuck on "TRADING" status and has yet to give me my 6 overpriced QORT :)

I've had this happen before. Typically means the Qort seller was not online, which presently locks your buy in trading. BTC will be refunded in about 7-10 days if it runs it own course and ultimately fails to trade. Word to the wise, do not delete your db until you have btc returned, in fact, you might want to backup the db.

I might be mistaken, but I believe you can shorten this time by cancelling via the API. Should have API and API Documentation enabled in settings.json

I would suggest going into the support channel in discord to get exact directions how to cancel via API.

If I'm not mistaken, the exact scenario you describe may addressed in the next release.

hehe, ya its not like a CEX where you can generally just click any order and it will fill LOWEST price for you
each order is a specific trade and as such is selected specifically ;)
so yes, you can buy @x6 accidentally, oops 
tho, this is well known how it works like this in the discord from months ago.....



200k blocks down!

Here is Qortal Discord invite link: https://discord.gg/YDA9S8CHCY

     Everything happens in Discord until the UI is robust enough to relocate operation to it.

We look forward to casting it off.
Discord is just plain bad for streaming and a few other crucial functions; all of which are functions Qortal aims to replace.

"These are exciting times"
                                    -Tank

Thanks yea, Discord does that sometimes, and their 'unlimited' links expire anyway.


I will update the links on the OP and on the website.

Hi congrats to the movement, How long does core windows package take to sync?


Qortal Minting Sponsorship Raffle & Giveaway- How it works?

Syncing is dependent on your system and bandwidth. Most people choose to use the bootstrap db from the github. Should sync in a matter of hours.

How it works (Raffle)?
1. Share Qortal Raffle in a social post
2. Submit registration form
2. Attend the Live Raffle

https://join.qortal.org/ (https://join.qortal.org/)

How to get coins? Need to buy or dig for mining

You can buy or Mint them...
For minting, you just need to run the node & you can start earning QORT with literally Zero balance (No Investment required).
You can also buy QORT from Trade Portal built within the Wallet.

Also for minting you need sponsorship. Join Qortal's Discord Channel for that purpose.

JOIN.QORTAL.ORG - Win up to 1,000 Qort (https://join.qortal.org/) - Live Drawing 12/26/20 @ 10PM EST

Also, join the discord. There is a Qortal wallet built in and Qortal members drop Qort to users all the time. You can gamble or withdraw right within Discord.

Dont miss free Qorts!
Win up to 1000 Qort!

https://join.qortal.org/ (https://join.qortal.org/)

Good project. There should be more fair giveaways that are for plain people, not influencers etc.

There will be many more promotions in the future, this is just one of many. This is a raffle with the opportunity to win a minting account. Names will be randomly chosen during the live event using https://wheelofnames.com/ (https://wheelofnames.com/)

Who knows, maybe there will be other prizes as well, just really depends on the type of community participation. In fact, participation is rewarded all the time in the community, so you don't have to wait for a raffle. Show your interest to help and I'm sure you'll find the community is generous.

Really a good way for wining an sponsorship.

If the wiki data and the modewei do not show error, yes.

However, the real calculation is this.
7200*0.15/59=18.30508474576271

Both are irrelevant.

   Else, you'd be moving into a new neighborhood and getting angry that the construction company bought houses.

And also there is possibility of obtaining sponsorship!

I only searched the last pages of the thread, so the question could already have been answered: Is it planned to bring Qortal to a larger central exchange? And if so, is there a roadmap for this?

Hi! As I am aware, response is: no. Qortal will not be listed on any exchange, because our platform offers cross chain trade. Currently there is BTC-QORT pair. Very soon there will be LTC-QORT.
The Trade Portal is a completely decentralized peer-to-peer (p2p) trade platform, built inside the Qortal User Interface.

Here is additional info, from one of Crowetics podcasts: https://youtu.be/i4-bbp_gRS4
Also, there is a lot of info on: http://wiki.qortal.org/doku.php?id=the_trade_portal_-_info

To expand on marracc's response, the answer is the Qortal Team will not seek being listed on an exchange as the goal is to have a decentralized trading portal baked into the platform itself, which it already does. BTC-Qort is already live, LTC-Qort on the way as it is being tested.

With the above said, if an exchange were interested in listing Qortal, that is completely up to them and from what I understand easy to do as there is a robust api in Qortal. If you are aware of Qortal's - Qora history, you can appreciate the aversion to centralized exchanges and why Qortal is moving the direction it is.

What about the volume? Low volume highlights how measly the Quort portal is in the eyes of a potential investor. And it underscores the issue most if not all decentralized platforms face, namely lack of clientele. Quort is a toilet seat on a bowl for shitting users utilize when no other means to appease their constipation would work. The last couple years made it evident that all things decentralized are dead as a concept. Forget about it.

Yep - QORTAL is in fact extremely mature and time tested technology- no need to create hype and pumps by listing on as many exchages as possible, or even get fleeced by exchanges that demand huge payments for listing new coins.

I like QORTAL i am going to do a video review tomorrow now i have reached a level 1  ;D

What do you mean with volume? What volume are you interested in? Supply or what? This is not another fast turn around (steal) money project... It has been in development for few years.... But, seems like you are used to be involved in huge volume shitty projects, pump and dump stuff...

Here is my review of qortal

https://youtu.be/yxru8apsL9c    ;D

if you can leave a like that will boost my video and more people see qortal.

plus i get more views  ;D

---

thanks Lynnx good luck with the project i hope it does well for all involved.  :D

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

Hoping to get more involved in the community! Great vision!

Guys one thing i noticed, some guys are asking about why some Qortal guys are just at level 1 or level 2 and they are getting so many Qortal in minting , just to be clear Qortal is born from Qora and guys who are getting lot of Qortal was holder of Qora and they will get 250:1 ratio Qortal over time. once all ratio is deposited they will get minting value of Qortal according to level of their wallet. you can read details in whitepaper or http://wiki.qortal.org/doku.php?id=qora_transition

noted, should have included that in my video. any idea when that will come to an end?

as ssxb said, they will get qortal over time so lets say if he someone was having 10000 Qora and he burned for getting qortal

10000 / 250 = 40 Qortal

These 40 will deposit over time in his qortal wallet as if all coin will go one time in his wallet , he maybe try to dump them and will make problem for qortal echo system, perhaps he will get that 40 in years as far as i know , but i will dig more for formula or crowtic can explian here when he will be online here,

So what about web hosting?
 I remember exactly that it was stated in the Discord discussion that users will be able to create their own sites using the Qortal nodes as web hosting.

Hello All,

I like the fact that we can trade through the portal but the volume is so low and the markets are too little.  Perhaps the team, I know you won't, may consider an exchange to list Qurtal to help with volumes and bring awareness to the coin.  I think this would be advantageous

Cheers,
Waya.

I don't like centralized exchanges, but ...
https://www.btcmax.me/trade/QORT_USDT

The trade volume may change once LTC is live on the Trade Portal. BTC transaction fees are too high right now, so trading is at a minimum. Also, any Exchange is free to list Qortal, but the Qortal community will not initiate this. This has been in development for years, so collectively, there is no rush.

The volume will DEFINITELY change once LTC and PRESENCE are implemented.


The main 'issue' right now, is that the orders in the portal could potentially have an offline core behind it... which means the automation for the creation and execution of the actual trade, isn't there... This cause the order to have to REFUND, which in the case of BTC, takes a very long time.

Hence, there isn't much use of the portal at the moment.


LTC fixes the speed issue, trades will happen within 5-7 minutes, and refunds in 1 hour... Then to take it a step further, PRESENCE, will only show ONLINE ORDERS, which means that only orders that CAN COMPLETE will show up on the Trade Portal sells list.


This will mean a liquid, fast, cheap cross-chain market.



Also, with the support for LTC, comes support for ANY BTC CLONE in the Qortal API. This means we can easily support other BTC clones in the Trade Portal.



I firmly believe these things above will bring not only a liquid, fast, usable cross-chain market, but also bring support from other BTC clones looking to be supported on a trade platform with NO RISK OF LOSS.


Now, tell me, why would I give up control of my coins just to trade, when I can do that without giving up control? Who will be opposed to that?

It sounds great - being able to trade directly from the wallet p2p, no middleman - like a dream come true.

I have a question though. I guess overtime there will be more and more trading pairs and implicitly wallets added to Qortal. Won't this create a space/storage issue? I mean hosting so many wallets requires many resources. I might be wrong here as I haven't researched how wallets work on Qortal so please bear with me.

Grease under my earlobe created a thick pimple right underneath. What were u saying? Wallets, space, storage la-la-la, be-be-be - is this what u are saying? First u dont need to undertake any research activities, Qort chain is smart enough to research u, a human, instead. Its fine that Qort is just a wreath of stink from old mans feet, we dont dare to ask for more while Qort is in this nascent stage. Secondly, that atomic swaps are not yet enabled in Qort engine fizzled out a great many investors, thus do expect dumps.

     However, what is not a rumor is that this user has used the same face and real name in the crypto space for what is working on the better part of a decade.

That is the opposite of shady.

I was asking a pertinent question. Sincerely, your post doesn't make much sense. The capabilities QORT offer to the public are exactly what we miss in the crypto space. Where else can you trade in a true decentralized manner without having to depend on any third-party server or custody (in the case of centralized exchanges)?

-Announcement- LTC and PRESENCE on Qortal testnet - will be opening to community testing today!

As above notes, we are testing LTC and PRESENCE on the testnet now, and I will be opening it up to community testing as soon as few finishing touches are done on the UI.

I will provide a fully pre-configured testnet node, with a sync'd chain (or close) as well as a pre-compiled pre-release version of the UI, that users will be able to run with yarn and node.js installed on their system.


Also, version 1.3.8 is a hotfix version for the stuck block 212936 issue, if you're already past that block, you don't need to worry about updating to 1.3.8, but if you're not, and you are stuck on 212936, the update will fix the issue, and/or the bootstrap I provided in Discord a while back.


Version 1.4.0 will be the release that contains LTC and PRESENCE, after testing on the testnet, we will push it out.

---

as far as the answer to your question... as it sits right now, with LTC and BTC support anyway, we make use of the Electrum network.

This means we do NOT need full nodes for LTC or BTC in order to have a local wallet, and issue transactions to the network.


Now, in the future when handling a coin that does NOT have electrum support, this may change. However, as of now there is no concern over size... as we do not need a full node for any of the networks that run with Electrum.



Also, to address that very strange reply...


for one... you are incorrect... we DO have working cross-chain trades with BTC... however, if a seller shuts his node down the trade cannot complete, and thus the trade is listed, accepted, then refunded due to the selling party being offline...

This is the exact reason for the development of PRESENCE. PRESENCE will show the response every 30 minutes, of the seller nodes. therefore, we are able to tell if a node hasn't replied during the last round of PRESENCE transactions, and is likely offline. Then, we put a red dot by the sells that are likely offline, so that users no longer accept sells from offline sellers.

This should dramatically improve the scenario wherein a refund is necessary.

Also, with the change to LTC, we get a MUCH FASTER, MUCH CHEAPER network (LTC network over BTC) to deal with, and therefore we will have trades that are CHEAPER THAN CENTRALIZED EXCHANGES.

We firmly believe the improvements will be VERY NOTICEABLE, and LTC market will really kick things off...

If this then says people will dump... I think that's the silliest response to a dramatic improvement and new version I have seen in quite a while, but to each their own I guess.

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

lol, tell us how you really feel.

please don't feed the trolls.


-[Announcement]- Qortal Core and UI updates


Qortal Core version 1.3.9

Core update with a few little bugfixes and preparation for LTC in version 1.4.0.

auto-update pushed today, if you are sync'd and you don't have auto-updates disabled, you will update automatically on all platforms.


you can see a blog post I made here about the updates

Linux and Mac users will have to update to 1.3.2 UI manually. Windows should auto-update both core and UI. Everyone should auto-update core unless they have auto-updates disabled.


https://qortal.org/index.php/2020/12/30/qortal-updates-core-version-1-3-9-and-ui-version-1-3-2/


See post for specifics.

The next updates after these, will include the LTC Trade Portal, 3 local wallets (BTC, LTC, and QORT), PRESENCE transactions for Trade Portal sells, and much more.

looks like he lost the access to lemonandfriesone - prly because his therapist made him burn the pw or s.t. like that.

he has been doing this for years now all over the crypto space and now that the therapy has failed he needed to increment the counter.

never mind the moron, spreading corrosion to damage other peoples work is a mental derangement syndrom. These people are sick.

Very excited about all that has been accomplished recently, applause to the Qortal dev team, looks like 2021 may be the year of Qortal.

Giving your money away to a scammer who was sued for $200,000 over equipment he never delivered and decided to disappear so he wouldn't have to pay the people he stole the money from.

Research into Burstcoin and how crowetic scammed people out of their money in his city. He was sued for $200k which up to this point he is still trying to pay.

out standing work crowetic , keep it up

What is the price of this coin at the moment? 2 satoshi or 3?

That's a great incentive for people who trade on shady unregulated, centralized exchanges and not only..

Looking forward to some tokenomics for QORT, though. Don't get me wrong, the QORT blockchain and network is already offering innovative tech solutions that no one else has. Could be a game-changer, but I'd like to see some ways to leverage QORT holdings and boost its value? Bitcoin is a scarce asset by design which is the main value-driver besides being used as a payment method. Maybe the data-hosting and liquidity provider features will have an important role in the ecosystem?

Great work and excited to be here!  ;)

Thank you, but I can hardly take the credit, the awesome Qortal Community, and Team have been GREAT.

I look forward to this year with great anticipation.

Happy 2021 from Qortal Team!

Hah...


The prices initially before the scam exchange came in, were 1-3 dollars per coin. Since the BTC Trade Portal didn't work out as expected due to being slow and too many refunds from offline sellers...


The REAL PRICE will come when LTC is added to the mainnet.

But I don't ever expect to see 2 satoshi... lol... not with 1.1 million coins in circulation.

---

Yes, many new services, and plugins for the UI, will be coming to allow more use cases for QORT itself.

First we're looking to have a liquid cross-chain market with LTC, establish a price, and go from there.

Many other services both from the core team and others will begin to show themselves in the near future. I'm sure of that.
