Is there a github repository somewhere? I understand there is someone working on QORA but it would be helpful if another dev jumps in and helps.

Is there a possibility the community can hire a dev to turn QORA from Java to a more easier and commong language like C++? This might open up the doors for others to join the project. I'd hate to see QORA die just like that, unless someone can point out major flaws in this project than I still think it might be worth saving.

I didn't think you criticized NEM, I was just pointing out that the initial distribution wasn't all that interesting.

Even NEM didn't have a fair launch, UtopianFuture unfairly created and still controls many of the sockpuppets accounts he made to enrich himself/ his team. It was a sort of "premine" with the disguise of actual users which turned out to be sockpuppets from him.
Ironically he was the one heading the sockpuppet removal from the NEM distribution.

He supposedly retired but everyone that was involved from day one knows that he just stopped logging into his UtopianFuture account, made some announcement to pacify the community and is still around involved with NEM. We don't know who he might be, the only people that might know are the team involved in the creation of NEM and even then only 1 or 2 people might know who he is.

In the end, it doesn't matter because NEM is turning out to be something bigger than UtopianFuture anticipated. It was thanks to the efforts of other devs and community members stepping in and not letting the project die. Otherwise it would have been another coin that got pumped and dumped/died into obscurity.

What are the fees to list on exchanges? Now a days we all know that it takes BTC to be listed, it's not based on accomplishments as much anymore.

Let's have a list of what the cost of each exchange is, maybe the community can pool some funds together if its not too much BTC.

This is still impressive of what they have been working on, this should be the topic not some angry trolls.

Not interesting at all, it happens all the time and there's alway coin giveaways. It just happens that NEM turned into a real project, one of the few.

And why would there be issues listing it on exchanges? That doesn't make sense at all, there was issues with duplicate accounts and sock puppets but NEM foundation was very proficient at getting rid of most spammers/sock puppets.
I qualified for the free stake at the beginning but I ended up donating the NXT for the NEM to the foundation since I saw it as only acting in a fair way in accordance to the spirit of crypto space.

I also am offering to unload QORA off people's hands, send me a PM with how much you want to sell for.

The issue is we trust the devs to do the right thing so we don't read into the details. We are in crypto space hoping that everyone will be fair, not saying what PIVx did with the auto convert was not fair. Devs should have made a point that it was going to autoconvert just in case someone missed it, it seems critical to let people know what is happening when they see their coins diminishing. Instead we all found out the hard way and now we know to read the details and not just blindly trust the devs.

Either way, I am happy to see the progress PIVx has made. Besides that one overlooked mistake, devs are doing a good job with the project.

He makes a good point, let's not jump to conclusions. We all have seen what happens when social media tries to play detective.

Good news that the faucet is finally off, let them create their own forked coin and faucet. It's all in the spirit 

could always run wine, might work

I will look into it 

Question:

What is the benefit of automatically turning people's pivx into zpiv? What about if some of them don't want to do that? What about the fees? Why do it automatically, shouldn't the end user be the one who decides to turn it on for themselves?

Should I close my wallet? I am way from my wallet and I know it is converting into zpiv, my worry is that it might be lost and not recovered even though devs said not to worry and it might just decide to convert my whole balance into zpiv.

What are the news on the fork? Anyone have a quick summary for those that cannot go through dozens of pages?

what happened here? 

what is the minimum to run a node or wallet to support the network? Would a dedicated VPS be better or can it run on a Linux box with other processes?

For those having issues using Ubuntu 16.04 with the new wallet:

My wallet also kept crashing, I erased the old blockchain files and replaced with a fresh up to date blockchain and now the wallet does not crash. Also make sure you just have the wallet running by itself when opening, sometimes this can cause a hang up with resources being used up while loading the blockchain initially.

Stopped trading in USD and now do it in BTC, better scale of valuation.

that was impressive, thanks

What's the estimated time before HEAT hits block 777,777?

I too used to think this until I experienced DarkNetCoin rebrand to PIVx, then I changed my mind.

In many cases it does help.

It's on a VPS, but I started receiving stake reward so I'm sure it is working. Thanks for the info, it'll help in the future.
