So.. I'd just like to echo Tuck's sentiments and throw in my two cents' worth...  

Guys, before we continue with this discussion, I hope everyone will remember that Qora has already done his job. He has already fulfilled the contract by delivering a world-class product that includes every feature he promised.   He has also gone above and beyond to ensure that we have a solid foundation to build on. Having said that, I think we should all be grateful for what the dev has done for Qora the project, and show some respect and appreciation. Even though I sincerely hope he will continue to guide this project so that Qora will reach its full potential (as the dev had envisioned it), I fully respect his privacy and his decisions. I realized that he might have his own personal reason not to disclose his future plans at this time, so I am not going to dwell on it.    

I hope we can all agree that we should show our respect by stopping this conversation altogether and focus on what's really important -- development, development, development!  

It's time we pull our own weight and take this project to the next level.  There are really lots of things we can do now to help Qora grow, and everyone should definitely pitch in and help, whether you're a software developer or not.  

A project cannot have longevity by relying on paid staff or bounties.  A project cannot survive by relying on a single individual to carry it forward. It can only thrive with lots of volunteers rallying behind it.

Now we're in a good position to do just that -- taking Qora to the next level:

1) We've got a dedicated business manager in Vrontis who has been working tirelessly behind the scene and act as the go-between between devs and community members. He's a pretty level-headed guy and just the person Qora needs. He has promised to make regular announcements and keep the community informed. I believe this is a step in the right direction. I think we should all be more patient and rally behind him and offer our support.

2) Don't forget that Qora is one of a handful of 2nd-GEN coins that is actually OUT and fully Open-Source!  We've got a huge advantage in our hand, and if we play our cards right, we should be in top 20 or even top 10 in no time.

3) With AT and first Atomic Cross-Chain Trading app loomed on the horizon, Qora is close to having one of the first working decentralized exchanges!  That is not exciting enough for you?  

4) I know Vrontis' got a few tricks up his sleeve.    I hope he will decide to make his announcement soon.

So what are some of the things we can do to help Qora grow?

1) How about contacting trading sites' operators or their business development teams and ask them to add Qora to their exchanges?  With rollout of next wallet version, we should get Poloniex back eventually (BTER is also planning on reopen for business).  I think our effort should focus on bigger exchanges that people will actually use - Cryptsy, BTC38, Komcort, HitBTC, Bittrex.. btc.. Please continue sending your votes to Qora!

2) Don't really know what's going on with the marketing team and website.  But I was thinking that we should have a discussion/conference on logo or branding matters.

3) We should starting working on Wiki and a roadmap for Qora (I understand Vrontis was working on something like that.. So I'll leave it to Vrontis to decide whether we should talk about that or not)..

Ok, that doesn't make sense.

You said that an account with 1.2M followers should be worth around $300,000 in your own whitepaper.
So, assuming your own point of view, an account with 250k followers should be worth around $62,500
$62,500 is over 250 BTC at the time of writing. More than twice what you set for the maximum in your ICO. (So it wouldn't be possible to acquire that account)

Also, with a revenue of $66 per day , assuming it doesn't devaluate (which requires a lot of work), it would take over 31 months to make an ROI.

On another hand, if you COULD acquire that account with the money from the ICO for cheap like you say, $5k (20 BTC give or take), then why would that person sell that account to you if he/she can make $5,000 in just 2.5 months by itself? After all its already monetized.

Could you explain that?

The executive producer on a film credit part?

Basically a short film - 15 minutes as per film festival guidelines - that was filmed last year is premiering this year and the Director is looking for a 20BTC investment for 'Executive Producer - YOUR NAME' to show up in the credits and of course imdb. It would particularly appeal to people already with one foot in the film of fashion industries and the brand while worldwide is getting a big push in SE Asia at the moment so it's great exposure.

I can program but I don't want to go to such length for the first music page project - Is there any easy package for keeping track of Bitcoin based orders and fulfilling them manually?

Well I hope this sparks interest for the price to rise a bit.. still holding strong..eill see in a month from now what my average is..

thats only less than 3btc   As I look @ the order book on trex.... with only 7btc u can take the price to 0.5  

Agreed, it would make no sense if they did.  However, @qora could stop the panic selling and FUD (and get more people on board) if he posted something here, there, anywhere.

It appears to be a critical juncture for Qora. Some want to take over the project, some want to invest but are nervous due to the dev's absence and others are panic selling and pulling out the hammer and nails.  

As I've stated privately ... I'm still buying and hodling.

I have faith @qora will return, but even if he doesn't (not likely) I think there are enough competent coders around that will recognize the opportunity that has been handed to them and seize it.

Qora will be just fine either way, so buy it up while it's low and hodl.

Update : Just noticed he logged in here today.

It's over P&D?

This is very big project and all the developers involved in this are professionals and well known persons in their fields. So wait and see where it goes in future. This is not pump and dump coin. This is made for real life usage.

Can't wait to have one . This is must have stuff very cool and amazing . XST doing its best seamlessly but sooner the whole world will seem it too.

Heavy DRK  buying going on at these levels now, I think we have found a new base...
