201  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Qora | IPO | 100% Proof-of-Stake | New Source | Beta Available on: April 05, 2014, 03:46:10 PM

I have contacted him to see if he is willing to set up escrow.

Could somebody send me some beta coins?

I understand the advantages of proof-of-burn but an IPO was chosen for this currency.
You will have to trust me that we will continue developing this currency instead of running away.
Creating a new source would have been worthless if we didn't plan to continue developing it actively.

I don't like ipo coin, why don't you burn coins?
Now too many ipo coins alread!

To use proof-of-burn correctly it should be build on top of another cryptocurrency and use its blockchain.
This currency does not rely on any other cryptocurrency so there is no point in using proof-of-burn.

so, will there be an escrow or not?

Now it is up to you to find a reputable escrow provider who is willing to do this.

I haven't decided if there will be a 4th week or not.
Any investment will be refundable before launch.

sent you some btc please confirm

Confirmed.

IPO is still open until Wednesday 9 April 2014 1pm GMT.

Oke about the escrow I checked out the approach eXocoin used.
On launch the provider will have the possibility to check out the whole application.
If he agrees the application is working correctly we can start exchanging Qora <-> BTC in small increments.
The exchange of Qora <-> BTC must happen within the first month of release.
The escrow provider is responsible for delivering the funds.
The escrow provider must contact me first and ask me if the investment will be accepted.

This way we are both protected.

While I agree people shouldn't just trust me blindly; I am a lot more trustworthy than you are at this point in time.
I have been a part of and actually contributed to the cryptocurrency community. I received part of the developer bounty funds for my work on the BoottleXCP Counterparty GUI. I have worked closely with JahPowerBit one of the major contributors to the Counterparty Counterwallet system on that.
I have a history here and all though I may be kind of a dick some times; People can go back and check my posts from months ago to see the kind of person that I am. I believe people will see that I am honest and fair.

You, not so much history.

Me handing over funds to you first = Protecting the developer
Me holding funds until you've handed over wallet/coins to investors = Protecting the investors


As previously mentioned, I would be protecting investor interests in all cases.

regarding restarting the IPO... it "wouldn't be fair" to the whole 6 people that have invested 1 BTC so far?

You do know that until eXoCoin accepted escrow it got maybe a couple BTC and after allowing escrow it got over 200 BTC in total?
If this project really is what you claim it to be, you are selling yourself short.
The only reason I can think of to intentionally do that is poor business sense or malicious intentions.

If investors want to be protected from a not working client they can use escrow.
If investors want to be protected from me not sending them the funds on launch they can simple buy some after the launch.

It doesn't matter how trusted someone is. I can not allow an escrow provider to have the power to destroy this project.

There are still plenty of beta funds to give out.
Just post your address here.

at java.awt.EventDispatchThrea.run<unknown source>,Why?

Can you try to delete the wallet and data folders and create a new wallet and tell me what it says on the command line?

Yes,I do!Still did not show.

Does any error show up on the console interface?

Turn green sync icon.But why not show the address?What should I do? Huh

have you tried this?

run.bat worked incorrectly.
I changed it this way and everything started to work as it should.
run.bat
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xmx256m -Djava.library.path=libs/native -jar Qora.jar -disablerpc

- The escrow must be released within the first month of release. After the escrow has been released the participants will get access to their funds.

Participants not getting access to funds until after escrow is released somewhat defeats the point of escrow!

Also, please make it clear (qora & any escrow provider) what the participants' cancellation terms are, should they choose not to go ahead (assuming it is not a blatant scam). E.g. can they simply say "I'm no longer interested" and get their funds back, and if so until what time?

The purpose of the escrow is to make sure there is a valid and working client.
If I would not release the funds after he has released the escrow it would destroy this project.
The same goes for him. If he doesn't release the escrow it would destroy the project and I can not give him that much power.

People can always ask for refunds.
And after the launch they can exchange their funds back for their investment.

Still no escrow?

Seriously?

Well I volunteer then.

At least I am a bit more trustworthy than the dev with his measly 18 posts (I have 570 at the time of this post and have been a member for a year and a lurker for longer).

Anyone can check my posting history, I am pretty vocal about warning others of scams and calling bullshit when I see it.
I also helped develop the counterparty GUI.


If anyone agrees I'll post my BTC address and start an online excel doc.
This project is getting interesting, but no escrow is smothering it.


I do not have any problem with an escrow.
Here are my terms for anyone who would want to organize it:
- I am not responsible for any losses caused by the escrow provider.
- The escrow must be released within the first month of release. After the escrow has been released the participants will get access to their funds.
- Only escrows before the end of the IPO are accepted.

I cannot restart the IPO or make it longer this would be unfair.
The beta however might be prolonged depending on how things work out.

Can you publish the total IPO amount or IPO investor list?
This will help later investors make decisions. Smiley

https://blockchain.info/address/1LDKa5i4qxzvQNoQpwU5es3aq9c95ooSFg
At the end of the IPO I will publish the list of all the investors and the amount they will receive on release.

The release should be in 2-3 weeks.
IPO will continue for another 3 weeks?

The IPO will end on Wednesday 9 April 2014 1pm GMT.
The release and launch is planned to be in 2-3 weeks.

Okay thanks QORA! Since it is POS, when can we expect POS coins to start rolling into our wallet?

Do you mean the release?
The release should be in 2-3 weeks.

If you mean actually generating coins you can't. All the coins are distributed during this IPO so no more coins will be generated.
The reward for generating a block are the fees of the transactions. This is why the services are so important because they will generate fees.

Oke so I will not be available in the next 10 hours Smiley.

Send me coins  Grin
QSGLWo6aEU49omqupxjBmz5646DKX7Pv5u   
Also what is "generating balance"?

It is the balance that is used to generate blocks. Basicly it is your confirmed balance - all the amounts you received in the last 10 blocks.

So when you look in debug at the last blocks it also shows generating balance. This means that your chance to generate the next block using that address is addressGeneratingBalance/lastBlockGeneratingBalance.

I just sent you a bitcoin deposit for a stake in the IPO.

How and when do we collect our stake?

Do we download the release version of the client when it is ready and send you our address?

By default I will contact the investors on launch by pm with an account seed that has their stake.
They will then be able to import that account seed inside their wallet and use the address.
If you would like to be contacted in any other way just let me know.

Im looking at command line, its failing to connect to peer after peer. Should I disable antivirus or what?

These can be peers that are no longer running the client or peers that are behind NAT.
There aren't alot of nodes run at this point so as long as the client does not have 10 active connections it will keep searching.

OK coins received and returned. However I paid 2 coins for 2 transactions, so the second one got 48 ;-)

Didn't try, but is the transaction fee optional?

Dutchn0mad

I have set a minimum transaction fee of 1.
This will become lower and lower over time but it should never reach 0.
Without a transaction fee there would be no point to include a transaction inside a block.

QRc7TveFAqkE4844Mnk3TcGWZUH9wvx2Mw

would like to have some coins for test.thx

Sent you some.

Coins received, thank you, and sent it back.

I also noticed that if you run the client with the same AccountSeed on another computer, then on the first computer lost connection.

That is strange that shouldn't happen. What can happen is that a peer will only accept a connection from a single ip once and not accept the others.

I could not get this to work. Synchronization is not completed. A new account is not created.
I only see the first block.

If you right-click on the input window, nothing happens. Menu does not pop up.


To me it seems like it cannot create the files. Is there a wallet and data folder being created in the map of the application when you run it?
Is there any error message in the command line when you create the wallet?

For those that want funds it is easier for me if you just post your address here because I can only send 1 message every 6 minutes.
