Just make an account on Cryptobridge and get some ALQO - its as "easy" as any other cryptocurrency.
Join our discord channel https://discord.gg/TFASC8 and get to know some of our fellow US ALQOholics.

Exactly - point on! At the moment price fluctuations are as usual as it is in crypto esp. for such a low cap coin. This is even for large coins not unusual. Well the percentage ups and downs might be a bit higher but - who cares!
This is an awesome project and there is basically everything still to come - what an excitement.
The recent discussions just show how caring the community is already and that a lot of people are staying right behind the concept. This together with the skilled dev work is going to crush into the whole crypto world like a sledgehammer.

Try to resetup your wallet.

1. save your wallet.dat and masternode.conf
2. delete everything
3. reinstall wallet
4. replace the originally saved files
5. restart your wallet

I’ve tried to summarize the live session as of jan 26th.

General things

The Cobinhood listing went not as good as anticipated because other coins had more support than ALQO. This is not good but not the end of the world.
Roadmap is on track!
Next week its planned to roll out the implementation of the zerocoin protocol. Therefore there will be an update fo the QT wallet. The whole procedure (exchange updates etc.) should be done within 2 weeks. This said - Liberio will launch with zerocoin protocol implemented right away.
There will be no impact on masternodes – but wallets should be updated. Everybody will get this information as all communication channels will be used for distributing this message.
Coinfolium update will be released next week! You will be able to choose the classic design or the new design. The new one is a lot more enhanced as it has way more statistics and much more insights on the coins.
BIG topic - Exchanges:
Its been one of the most asked questions in the recent weeks.
Cryptopia is out of reach – 180k . not feasible with the actual setup of ALQO.
Bittrex demands a huge sum too.
Kucoin says it has no listing fee but they demand like 50k ALQO plus 10 BTC for advertising which is OK but quite an amount to pay. Impression is that Kucoin is simply not answering because they fear that we are not able to provide that money.

This said - ALQO needs to evolve

Community wants that ALQO hires new people – ALQO team wants that too.
Community wants to get on big exchanges – ALQO team wants that too.
Atm all people working on the project do it for free and being asked if they would work for ALQO they respond by this being impossible as there are bills to pay or income provided for the family which is totally understandable. And paying them does not mean give them 500 bucks a month – it should be a reasonable amount of money.
Kaan wants to be comparable to PIVX or Phore – and they pay e.g. their community managers a really good salary as they are their figurehead into the open world.
There is only one solution to this without just looking 6 months ahead.

We need some kind of developer fee.

Now you can argue – no we don’t want to have dev fee as this was not the plan. On the other hand you want us to get onto cryptopia and hire people. Kaan & Enes are working part time – Kevin Full time and Kaan would be overly happy to quit his job and devote himself 150% into the project.
Look what the team has achieved with just 2 “halftimers” and one “fulltimer”!
With a dev fund we would be able to do a lot more, a lot faster and possibly even better.

We don’t need that much and our proposal would be 5% of block reward.
This is no decision by now – this is a proposal! As we are a community coin we do this in a democratic way. We need some kind of voting. Not a crappy google sheets voting. We are going to implement a short term voting solution as we don’t have Liberio yet.
e.g. is PIVX asking for 10% but we think we don’t need this large amount of money. Other projects just increased their dev fee recently as they cannot cope with their budgets.

Answers from the Q&A

Bitfineon news: Check out discord – Kaan provided a quick FAQ
Promotion of bitfineon will start when the product is ready. There will be a big marketing campaign as it will be a really big thing in Germany together with all the crazy stuff which will be coming with bitfineon. Fees will have to be paid in ALQO. More about bitfineon to come in the near future

Kaan is not the owner of Coinsmarkets! Who made this statement up???

ALQO dev fee (if it comes!) will not be sold on open market in order to keep prices as they are.

DAO is a very good concept but not the right form of organization right now for ALQO. We should think and talk about it again when bitfineon will be about to be ready and released.

Transparency of dev fund allocation: As transparent as possible!

CMC issue: community member contacted CMC to make this change. The original state needs to be reestablished soon as its easier for the team to speak to officials and so on.


Personal comment:
As the dev fee would be a major change in the setup of ALQO it was no doubt that there would be some kind of reaction of the community. I was anticipating a lot of complains and hatred towards the team as the “no dev fund” allocation had been one “selling point” of ALQO so far. I was completely wrong! Surely there was a discussion and a lot of concerns were raised and spoken about. But the way it has been done was so damn professional! Trading arguments vs. arguments not makin any accusations. Speaking how I feel about it and not “how you can do that to me”. This has shown the real strength of that community and I am really proud of being part of that. The topic has not been settled so far but we will have a decision within a week I guess. However the final statement will be, this was the most professional way such a big issue can be discussed. I’ve never seen something like this in crypto and rarely see this in f2f decision making situations.

To make it easy for everyone, even the complete non techs, to own a masternode the ALQO team created the "Hosting service" https://hosting.alqo.org/. This makes it super easy for anyone to get a masternode running. Check out the video they've made for it: https://youtu.be/YoKUgkP2los

Surely the owners could change the profitability of the masternodes but if they do they completely loose trust and this is something you cannot recover from in the crypto world. So I doubt that they risk the hard earned trust they already have.

Thx for choosing the ALQO masternode coin as an example of a "high quality" coin in your perspective.

We as the team will certainly do anything to bring that project to a solid foundation making entry barriers as low as possible for newcomers into crypto. In our view this is one of the main hurdles the most people are facing at the moment. Hope the easy Masternode setup procedure was a little glimpse fo what you have to expect in the future in terms of accessibility.

With the actual development of the two choices you should go with ALQO. I'm trying to give you the most unbiased answer I am able to do 

There will be no announcement for today though we are planning to host that session today same time as yesterday because not all issues are certainly resolved. It might not be a failure to drop by and check the Youtube channel out.

Nach diversen Internet Verbindungsproblemen gestern Abend wird heute Abend ein erneuter Versuch gestartet. Da wir nicht garantieren können, dass alles klappt, gibts kein offizielles Announcement. Ist vielleicht kein Grund nicht doch mal vorbei zu schauen.

Heute um 21.00Uhr Ortszeit geht Kaan wieder an den Start. Live Youtube Update und Q&A session.
Es geht um ein ganz paar Veränderungen und Neuerungen die anstehen und er wird natürlich wieder live Fragen beantworten.

Kommt vorbei und seid dabei auf unserer Reise durch ALQO Universum

You are very welcome to do a dutch translation! We've done a lot just out of the community so far. Your translation would add another little piece in this awesome success story!

Staking will start working from Block 475201 on. Which means it will become effective end of sept. start of oct. this year.

Ich geh mal schwer davon aus, dass sobald sie wieder online gehen (wenn überhaupt) mehr als 90% aller funds sofort abgezogen werden. Ich schieße mich da 100% mit ein aber so geht man nicht mit dem Geld anderer um. Aber naja - crypto - Fluch und Segen können manchmal sehr sehr nahe beieinander liegen...

You are very very welcome to donate the 5 Million DOT they want for application. Otherwise I fear there will be no Cryptopia in the next time as this is a community coin with no premine or ICO. So there is no money yet to be used for something like this.

There are 2 exchanges trading the ALQO/BTC pair - nothing more. Nevertheless you could send LTC to cryptobridge to overcome the fees for BTC. Until now its a bit difficult to get ALQO but it certainly will get better in the future though price might be higher then...

This change was new to the team as well and we were more or less "not happily surprised". In the end the dev decided not to directly contact CMC instead waiting a couple of days and check out if this low market cap will attract more investors eventually. Nevertheless for the fact that there is a lot of talks with financial officials, banks and so on this move from CMC was not good at all.

Lets see what the next days will look like and there will be action in that manner soon.

Ich hab den Überblick schon lange verloren - bei mir gehts immer erst mal in den Passwort Manager um zu schauen ob ich denn da ein Login hab. Glücklicherweise gibts das als Hilfsmittel. Wenn ich noch mit Listen arbeiten müsste wäre ich glaub schon verloren...

There is a simple answer - No you cant.

Staking will become effective exactly from moving from Block 475200 to 475201. By then the Liberio Wallet will have been released and it will offer the option to "cold stake" as broesel mentioned.

As the block time is set to 60s in the network it should happen around end of september start of october this year.
