A team has reached out to me stating they will have a game for POLY being launched very soon. I will update shortly with more information. I have tested it and it looks good. They have a few things left to add, but it should be ready within a short time.

We're Pirate DEX, which is the of top-tier crypto exchange. I'd like to list your fine project on our exchange, please tell me if you have any interest on us. I would be fine with having POLY listed. Let me know what is required. |

Quick update - QORT development update - The codebase for QORT and the repo for it, has been created.
- All necessary additions for QORT specifically, to the API are being added.
- The UI update is taking place to build out the QORT specific UI from our custom UI platform. The overall design is in the hands of the dev, and is being created in the code.
- I do not have an exact estimate for completion time, but I will say that we are getting very close now, and I'm happy with the progress.
- There is another clone project built from the Gen 2 core that is already running, we are utilizing it as essentially a bug testing grounds for QORT. Then we will have QORT built and running well from the start, and won't have to deal with any of the usual initial 'hiccups' that come with the launch of a completely custom platform. The launched platform is now running well, and we have addressed multiple little issues in the code, and added quite a few unique additions that I think are top notch, including the ability to 'auto-update', so people will not have to continually check for updates and update the wallet version themselves, things will simply take place automatically. I find this to be an extremely useful feature and cannot wait to take full advantage of it.
- The UI has been tested as well, utilizing a different platform with a gen 1 codebase backend, and the registration system is fantastic. Very easy to use. Keeping track of things in a locally salted/encrypted archive so that you can easily re-login to your account with only the memorization of a few simple things. We will utilize a very similar registration system in QORT, allowing for even the most computer slow person to attain a blockchain account on QORT in a matter of a few minutes. Some of the most important things in the blockchain space in my opinion, are making the platforms easy to use, and as similar to traditional centralized systems as possible, so that people can understand them easily without any extra research or assistance. I believe we have accomplished this with the new UI and registration system.
Overall I am extremely happy with the place we are currently with the development, and look forward to its completion with great excitement. I believe still that when people see what we have managed to create, they will be extremely excited to be a part of it. I think that in the future, the Gen 2 codebase will be widely utilized by many people, and will help to build the future of the blockchain based world that I know will be.
Apologies for the time in between my updates lately, I have had a lot going on in my personal life, and haven't had as much time to make sure to keep everyone updated. This, however, hasn't slowed anything down in terms of development, and I will be back soon with more updates as things progress.
I hope to see the launch of the base network layer to get the network strong and people prepping for the portal launch, within a very short period of time.
Make sure you keep forging your QORA, and pick up any extra QORA if you can for the 'swap' to QORT. The time is drawing near for things to finally be started on the completely re-written and extremely enhanced Generation 2 codebase! |

I've read the document twice, and I'm not sure I understand what should I do with QORA on OpenLedger.
Should I install qt wallet and withdraw from OpenLedger (if qt still exists somewhere)? I don't like the option of depending of someone else's actions (e.g. Ronnie).
From what Ronny has said, he lost the coins, apparently he has someone willing to sell him the amount needed to reimburse people, but yes, you'll have to speak to him and get them into a wallet so that you can attain your value in QORT. |

 Get distracted? Not distracted, just working on multiple different things. The project is going as expected. I have put another dev to the base level of the project. There are a couple things we're planning to announce for POLY soon. Apologies for the amount of time between posts, a lot has been going on lately in my life. But I think everyone will be happy to see what we get done next. My suggestion would be to start slowly accumulating the coin, as I have been doing, in preparation for the future  |

I post more updates in Discord than I do here on the forums, and answer questions frequently there. So if you're looking for more updated information, as well as frequently answered questions, check the pins in Discord 'General' and 'Announcements' sections.
if the question and answer might be better in the discord but to provide the latest information should be in the forum only because maybe the community is still not much to know about this project Any extremely important information I generally come here and post as well. Question/answer stuff is simpler to do in discord, but I will usually come here to check for questions as well. I try to be in all places at once, but I am also very busy finishing up the details for the system, relaying the information to the team to be built, and designing the UI etc, for the dev team to build out. So sometimes I get caught up and don't have a chance to come here as frequently as I may like to in an ideal situation. that being said, ALL INFORMATION IS NOW IN THE DOC. - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iNljKBxuS8flAa23OWWzT-KJza4jdF5bFKR3byoCap4/edit?usp=sharing  Please read through it, and let me know if you have any further questions, I feel most information is pretty adequately explained there in the document. I am getting that information over to the dev in a bullet point structure, so that it can be put into the code, and created. Then the UI design is taking place, along with all necessary API call updates, etc... all related to QORT. The platform will be reminiscent of a video game in many ways, and will be very unique. I am truly excited to get it finished up and have everyone check it out. I think it will truly be one of a kind, and something people will enjoy very much. There are a few details regarding the trade portal itself, that I'm still figuring out. But the plan is to launch the network first, very soon, get the network growing, and becoming as strong as it can, then we release the trade portal itself. We have developed a new method of 'minting' called 'proxy minting', that is now part of the base code.This allows a user to create a custom private key for a proxy minting account, where this account will then take the minted coins from the initial account, and pay them out to another, with a % split. The proxy account itself has its own private key, and if that key is stolen, the only thing that the thief can accomplish, would be to mint for the real owner. it is a truly unique addition, that I am now considering making a part of the QORT system. Our model will be updated consistently, with new ideas and features, as our team continues to be on the cutting edge of blockchain technology. I am very excited that we are so close now to launching our platform, and hope everyone else is getting excited as well!I am considering the addition of proxy minting to the QORT model even prior to launch, so that there will be yet another layer of 'protection' for minting accounts. |

Hello crowetic. Thanks for the detailed update. I have red the document and I must say it seems very well thought. I see that the number of QORA owned by the account plays substantial role in the initial distribution of the QORT. Hmm this is good that you give credits to Qora holders but it also bad in some way because other contributions are not taken into account. For example I would have had more initial Qora coins if I hadn't contributed roughly 4.5% of my initial holding to the development of CIYAM AT for Qora in the early days. If you take only the amount of Qora in consideration some of us would be penalized then. This is just my opinion so is up to you and your team (the founders) if you will take this fact also into consideration. I'm not sure what you are suggesting here. If you're saying that the people who have donated to development in the past, should receive some sort of 'extra reward'? I think that is a little odd... I mean, the point of donating to development, is so that the dev team has the necessary funding to ensure the development is completed. Right? You don't 'donate' with expectation that the donation should return you some sort of reward, do you? If that's the case, then the over 120k USD that I've put toward development, should give me quite a large reward! heh. Listen man, I appreciate the fact that you donated to development, it's very much appreciated. But a donation is a donation, you don't get a reward for donating... That would be something else entirely. Any holder of QORA, will be very adequately rewarded for being that, giving much more value to their coins. If they believe in the platform, and have held their coins with hopes based on what I have been saying over the last few years as we conceptualized and built out the amazing platform that we have now, and will soon unveil... they will be very happy they did so when the platform gets moving. Other than that, I don't expect there would be a solid method of verification even if I did decide that I was looking to give extra to those of us who have donated to development. I simply don't think that is something that could be done, even if I decided that it was a fantastic idea. That being said, once again, I thank you (and anyone who has donated) for your donations, but there is simply no way to provide some sort of extra reward for that donation, nor would it be something that would be within the legal limitations, as that would be something similar to an ICO almost surely. We are striving to ensure that our platform fits well within the legalities in all ways. You will be very happy if you still hold QORA, for the amount that you hold, and moreso if you were someone who has been forging during the time after poloniex delisted. You will be rewarded for being a forger, as well as a holder, in QORT platform. Once again, anyone who hasn't read the QORT document, here is the link - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iNljKBxuS8flAa23OWWzT-KJza4jdF5bFKR3byoCap4/edit?usp=sharing |

If people that were 'supporting' the chain need more QORA, PM me, 7 000 000 QORA available for 4 satoshi. I didn't forge, so I'm probably left with nothing.
If you read the document, you will realize, that you are NOT left with nothing, just because you didn't forge. BOTH people who forged, and people who didn't, will be receiving something on QORT. people who forged - will receive minting accounts, AND coins from every block totaling 1000x less QORT than QORA held.
people who didn't forge - will still receive 1000x less QORT than QORA held from every block.
I have clarified this multiple times in multiple ways, it's surprising to me that people are still saying things like this. |

The only way you'll be able to obtain a 'minting account', and therefore a portion of the block reward once qortal project chain begins, is to:
1. prove you have supported the previous chain, by verification that you have run a node, and staked during the last few months when not many people were, due to the fact that there was no staking reward. This alone will prove that you supported the project, wanting to see it survive, regardless of the fact that you were not receiving monetary reward for doing so, and is sufficient to obtain a minting account on qortal project chain.
What number of blocks staked will be the minimum? When is the cutoff period for determining who did enough staking, has it already past? We haven't yet decided on the specifics as far as the minimum, etc... But we know it will work like this. We will set a number of blocks between x and x number on the QORA chain, any user who forged blocks during that time, will be getting a minting account. The number of blocks forged will determine the number level your minting account will start. Exact details will be posted once we nail them down. |

2. prove you have contributed in other ways to the project's success, via explaining and showing what you have done to the community. At which point, we will put a vote up for the community to choose whether your efforts were 'sufficient' to obtain a minting account, and at which 'weight' or 'level' the account shall be started.
How many minting accounts will there be? Close to zero. He will end up with nobody but himself getting the qortal account lol. And what are the potential benefits from having that account - which is the equivalent of a node as I understand - from having it on the new chain? No swaps, only butt slaps and you have to prove that you were mining on the dead chain without financial incentive, in order to pass and be eligible for the account, lol you know what, shove your account up your butthole the trolls here are getting to be a bit annoying. Read the doc and you'll see that all comments have been taken into consideration. The system will reward those who contribute, there will be as many staking accounts as people willing to create them.

Does the project have any overlap with new Qora project? Or rather, are there synergies between the projects?
The question arises, whether alone it is possible to lead both projects with the necessary time they deserve.
The two projects at this time have very little in common. I only re-posted the ANN for polytimos as I am helping build the POLYSHIELD service provider for it. POLY is a community coin, therefore no one 'runs it'. I simply help it out because I like community projects. QORA2 and QORT are being launched built from the newly re-coded codebase of QORA. Each project that I actually do run, has its own team. POLYSHIELD has a team, and QORT has a team. My roles in both can be fulfilled, I am always running multiple different things, as this is my 'job'. There may be 'overlaps' in the future, depending on the ways the communities of each would like to see things go. I think the adding of POLY to QORT's trade portal is definitely a possibility within a short timeframe. Of which I'm sure no one will have a problem. |

-[ANN]- FIRST Generation 2 codebase API server launching, addressing some confusion I'm seeing here, more...The first QORA generation 2 codebase API node is going to be created tonight! Yes, this means that Generation 2 is fully functional ADDRESSING CONFUSIONIt seems people are a bit confused when it comes to the way things are going to be handled in terms of QORA, QORT, and QORA2.
First, I will start by explaining the terminology I use and what I mean when I say certain things...
1. QORA codebase is what I call 'gen 1' codebase.
2. There is a completely different codebase, completely rewritten, based on QORA, that will be used for QORT, and QORA2, that I call 'generation 2'. This is in reference to the codebase that will be used for MANY clone projects.
3. QORT is NECESSARY for all future projects, as it is going to be the 'hub' of trades, and the 'connector' for all future clone projects, and BTC/LTC/etc. Therefore, its launch prior to QORA2, is necessary.
4. I don't understand what a few people seem to be getting all up in arms for about QORT, but believe me... when you see what it is, and what all development has been done, etc... if you're not impressed, you likely aren't impressed with anything.
5. There is no other platform like what we have created from QORA, in Generation 2 codebase. It is quite literally capable of rebuilding the internet entirely. Real time communications, hosting, data storage, and cross-chain transfers with BTC, etc. Therefore the building of all of the functionality into a single platform for utilizing it all, simply doesn't make sense. We can see how well that goes in the case of ETH, and we do not want to have issues. Therefore we are creating MULTIPLE chains, MULTIPLE platforms, each with a different focus, making use of different portions of the functionality possible in the codebase.
6. Saying that QORT isn't QORA, is simply lack of information... The codebase is ALL based on QORA, but completely enhanced in EVERY way. It is faster, more capable, more scalable, and re-written to be extremely awesome. The new database, network layer, and enhanced functionality in multiple ways, will prove that the technology is the best in the space. I believe wholeheartedly that this platform is by far the best in the crypto space, without a doubt. It will scale unbelievably well, getting faster and more secure as it gets larger.
7. There WILL be a QORA2, it will just be launched AFTER QORT. So utilizing QORA1 coins to QORA2 will not be possible, and therefore we are going from QORA1 to QORT, then launching QORA2 as a separate project. There was a LOT that had to be figured out in regard to how all of this needed to be handled, and it's funny now that people are only just now becoming interested in expressing opinions, when before (when we actually needed opinions) there were not many at all to be had.
8. I make NO decisions without taking the community's opinion into full consideration. I resent the fact that for whatever reason a couple people are being so negative. But I invite the negative people to either leave, or actually submit your suggestions in a kind fashion, at which point I will happily take them into consideration, just as I do from any other person. Our team did a TON of work, without asking for ANYTHING. We have not made a SINGLE DOLLAR from QORA, in ANY way. Yet we decided to pick up the community and allow them to come into the new platform. I BELIEVE THIS WAS VERY KIND, SEEING AS IT WAS NOT NECESSARY AT ALL, AND GAVE US NO BENEFIT WHATSOEVER. So I don't feel like the negativity is warranted AT ALL.
Anyone else could have rebuilt QORA, why didn't they do it? It was a TON of work, and I doubt that anyone with the skill necessary, would have been wanting to do it, especially with no monetary reward. I ensured the developers got paid as much as I could, and put a ton of time and effort into this. I expect a bit more respect than negativity, but maybe I'm out of my mind expecting people to be respectful.QORT LAUNCH INFORMATIONI have relayed a bunch of information to cat in regard to QORT launch. INCLUDING THE IDEA THAT WE WILL BE ALLOWING QORA HOLDERS WHO DIDN'T MINT, A WAY TO GET SOME COINS ON QORT CHAIN.
I have decided upon suggestion from a few of my colleagues and community members, that there will be a method implemented to allow QORA holders to obtain coins on the new chain. It will not be a swap, and it will not be 1:1, as the new chain will have a much lower total coin count. But there WILL be a method created for this to take place.
Most likely it will be over a period of time, credited to the users that create a 'swap request' (for lack of a better term) over a period of time, via a SmartContract with over time payments.
More information will be coming soon.

If you support the project, then you're one of the people who is deserving of one of the initial minting accounts. If you don't support the project, why should you be rewarded?
I did keep wallet online for long enough period with no reward to be entitled for minting QORT account. Just don't want to be part of QORT closed club of endless minters.
We will simply read through the blockchain to find how many blocks were staked by the account, provide a system to keep track of that, and assign 'points' to the blocks staked by the account, giving more value to the ones that were staked while the coin was 'dead' in the eyes of the people, as this is the time the project needed more support, and the people who actually cared about the project, were the ones who were staking 'for free' simply to keep the chain moving. Which, is a valuable contribution, worthy of reward.
Where in We do You see decentralization?
Every other person, when hearing the plan for the start of QORT chain, has been fine with it, and has asked relevant questions and/or just been excited. You are the only one so far to be upset by it, which leads me to believe you really are a type that feels entitled to becoming a millionaire from doing nothing. I personally can't stand that mindset.
Open eyes widely and You will see that I was just the first one to read what is proposed and raise the flag. I'm not alone. BTW, how You see difference in dollars spent for buying QORA and dollars spent for development? They have different color or what?
I don't know where you're coming up with this 'endless minting' nonsense, I never said that. The initial minting accounts, which will be given to QORA supporters, and will obtain the whole of the block rewards of the system, until the PoL algo is implemented. At that point a portion will go to liquidity providers, and another portion to minters.
Well, I don't see end of minting in Your recent explanation, so "endless minting" of "closed club minters" still holds.
I don't know what your comment about a premine has to do with anything...
THE COIN WILL LAUNCH FROM BLOCK 0, WITH NO COINS.
Users who supported QORA, can obtain minting accounts which will obtain the block rewards.
Initially, there will need to be a solid supportive group that has majority to ensure that the chain isn't attacked by a malicious force. Therefore, founder accounts are a necessity while the project is new and small.
You have a problem with the devs getting a reward for developing a truly decentralized trade platform unlike anyone has ever seen from scratch? Yet, at the same time, you would like to be rewarded for nothing? Your words are making a whole lot of no sense to me.
Good luck to you as well!
Preminting or premining, as You wish. It's non-fair initial distribution. I don't want to be part of such ICO scheme. You are wrong in many ways. I don't really feel like getting into it with you, you'll just have to see when it happens, since you obviously have more interest in arguing than suggesting things in a respectful manner. |

I am involved in MANY projects. I have a team of developers, I am hardly just one person. lol. Also, POLY is not 'reviving', it is just starting to be 'alive', it has been run for a year, and the ANN is the only thing I had to change, due to issues with the ones that started the first one, and them requesting me to create a new one. We have built a service provider platform for the project, called POLYSHIELD. Polytimos is just a community project that myself and my team support. QORA is the 'main' project we're building. Which requires a LOT more work, as the development is all completely custom. |

1. prove you have supported the previous chain, by verification that you have run a node, and staked during the last few months when not many people were, due to the fact that there was no staking reward. This alone will prove that you supported the project, wanting to see it survive, regardless of the fact that you were not receiving monetary reward for doing so, and is sufficient to obtain a minting account on qortal project chain.
2. prove you have contributed in other ways to the project's success, via explaining and showing what you have done to the community. At which point, we will put a vote up for the community to choose whether your efforts were 'sufficient' to obtain a minting account, and at which 'weight' or 'level' the account shall be started.
(The methods for which the accounts will be 'leveled' at the start, will be based on the level of effort and contribution the user had put into the project's success. The development team will receive 'founder accounts' that will start at a 50% higher level to ensure the stability and game-free nature of the platform from the start, along with a multiplier on the weight that will slowly decrease as time goes on, and more minting accounts are alive, and leveling themselves. Eventually the founder accounts will essentially be just like any other account, but they will always contain a slight multiplier, making them always just a little bit more weighted for voting purposes.)
We believe in the concepts of Decentralization, community run projects, and hearing the community's suggestions, we also believe that simply because you purchased a bunch of coins, does not entitle you to a bunch of reward, when many many hours and efforts and dollars were put in by those looking to actually assist the project's success.
I can't see where "decentralization" in point 1 and 2 is hiding? One should "prove" to some "decentralized" system? I'm from the time when even 1% premine of the coin was enough not to look back for the coin issued. QORT is closed club asset according to issuing policy. Good luck with it. I'm over and out with QORT.  I don't see what you're meaning here. How is supporting the project not decentralized? How is running a node and staking not decentralized? You aren't making sense. If you support the project, then you're one of the people who is deserving of one of the initial minting accounts. If you don't support the project, why should you be rewarded? "proving" is simple. Can be done decentralized and/or by the community vote in case of users that didn't stake, but contributed notable assistance in other ways. How is a community giving their input not decentralized? Verification to a decentralized system, is what EVERY coin does... just saying... how do you verify transactions on a decentralized system? We will simply read through the blockchain to find how many blocks were staked by the account, provide a system to keep track of that, and assign 'points' to the blocks staked by the account, giving more value to the ones that were staked while the coin was 'dead' in the eyes of the people, as this is the time the project needed more support, and the people who actually cared about the project, were the ones who were staking 'for free' simply to keep the chain moving. Which, is a valuable contribution, worthy of reward. The devs and multiple community members have put a lot of time and effort into the project, have staked for no reward to keep the chain moving, and have continued to do everything they can to help the project forward. They are the ones who are deserving of a minting account on the new chain. It seems you're one of the only people so far that has taken ANY issue with the supporting of QORA being the basis of the issuing of minting accounts on QORT. Is this because you had hoped to simply 'swap' to the new chain with a bunch of coins, then dump them on the community? I don't really see any reason to be upset that people who supported the project and helped it live, will be the ones to get support given back, unless of course, I was one who didn't support the project... is that the case? Honestly, enabling staking on a wallet isn't hard to do, if you had coins, and didn't even have a wallet... then where are your coins being held? If you did have them in a wallet, why would you not enable staking to help ensure the chain continues to move? Because you didn't get rewards for it? That's exactly the type of mentality we don't need, people thinking they should be rewarded for doing nothing, is useless, and something I am fine if is removed from the community. Every other person, when hearing the plan for the start of QORT chain, has been fine with it, and has asked relevant questions and/or just been excited. You are the only one so far to be upset by it, which leads me to believe you really are a type that feels entitled to becoming a millionaire from doing nothing. I personally can't stand that mindset. ALSO - I don't know where you're coming up with this 'endless minting' nonsense, I never said that. The initial minting accounts, which will be given to QORA supporters, and will obtain the whole of the block rewards of the system, until the PoL algo is implemented. At that point a portion will go to liquidity providers, and another portion to minters. As far as the 'unlimited supply', yes, it will be unlimited, as there will always be a need for the system to have coins to use for the trade portal orders, etc. However, the supply will be definitely very slow to grow overall, and the 'active supply' should be much lower than QORA was for a very long time. people forget that coins get lost, accounts get lost forever, etc... This cannot be a deciding factor in the length of time a trade platform can function. Therefore the 'no cap' on the supply in the QORT service token (coin) is something that will ensure the platform can run 'forever'. I think this is pretty important, don't you? I don't know what your comment about a premine has to do with anything... THE COIN WILL LAUNCH FROM BLOCK 0, WITH NO COINS. Users who supported QORA, can obtain minting accounts which will obtain the block rewards. Initially, there will need to be a solid supportive group that has majority to ensure that the chain isn't attacked by a malicious force.

any chance of starting a discord?
polytimos discord here - https://discord.gg/YjaghTwdiscord for POLYSHIELD will be created once a bit more development on the platform is completed. We have worked out the base needs for withdrawals today, should be functioning in a short time. Having a look there also mate ... #crysx
- We finished a radio show that discussed various POLYSHIELD and Polytimos related things. You can find a recording of that here (the quality isn't as it will be usually, due to a few issues on the recording side failed power supply caused main system not to be able to be used, this will not be the case in next interview with crypto radio) - https://soundcloud.com/cryptoradio/polyshield-polytimos-poly-wanna-masternode
- We have issued the first PR document for POLYSHIELD. You can find it here - https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/324453321194864642/551148971570233344/POLYSHIELD_Press_Release_-_March_1_2019.pdfWe have also done a lot on the withdrawals front, they should be quite close to completion. In fact I believe they are functioning now, but we have a bit more testing to do.
We will then work out more regarding the platform. Everything is coming along quite nicely.
- Any suggestions for new additions for staking coins, please reach out and let us know your suggestion. Upon suggestion please also let us know the method with which we may contact the developers of the project so we can speak to them. We plan only to list projects with long-term focus, and community focus is a major plus.
