Hal,

BTER has always been the primary exchange since Qora's inception.  I believe Qora is not the only coin affected by the recent BTER hacking incident.  But I read somewhere that they're going to reopen the exchange for trading within one week.  So I'm pretty sure Qora will resume trading by then.  So sorry about the inconvenience.    

I don't know about you guys, but I think I'm willing to give BTER another chance since they've proven themselves to be trustworthy (they always stay and find a way to reimburse customers).  As for Polo, I've just been told a dev is handling that situation.  I don't want to speak on behalf of this dev.  If he wishes to provide more information to the community, he will do so.  But I can tell you that I'm confident the problem with Polo will be resolved once the next wallet is released (the latest).

As for Qora's identity (whether he is BCNext or not), I don't think I want to make any conjecture or speculation at this moment (out of respect for the dev), because I know people like Satoshi, BCNext, Qora all have one thing in common - they value their privacy, and we should respect that and not to pry too much.. lol

The truth is I've never bothered to look into NXT's codebase, but I heard that it was pretty messy when JL took over. However, at first glance, my impression of Qora code is that it's very well organized and squeaky clean. It's well commented and very easy to follow.  I don't know if it's an indication that it's two different persons because I'm not familiar with BCNext's style (I know Nxt has been rewritten from the ground up).

Having said that, I can tell you that I've been doing a bit of research, and I can confirm with certainty that Qora is a project that was started back in early 2011 and has been in development ever since.  

That's all I'm gonna say about this..  

PS: Forgot to mention, there is a Qora Faucet created by agran, you can get some free Qora from there for testing purpose.

We have three important milestones ahead :

• Full source code is going to be released
• Automated Transactions will go live on Qora
• Atomic Cross Chain Transfer will occur

I don't know the exact time of the above or even the exact order (except the fact that ACCT will perform after the release of the AT), so, due to that we cannot have at the moment a proper roadmap.But this will be seized on time.

Beyond these milestones, there are also other things that needed to be arranged.
I suggest that we should start looking at the documentation which is actually missing.
We do have the below :

Qora FAQ
Qora Assets
Qora API V13

I think we could start discussing and collaborating on the documentation i.e. what we need to have, what can be easily done etc. and start working on this.
Of course Wiki is missing but content is also missing and I believe is preferred to have the content ready for the Wiki and not the Wiki ready for the content.
We can use PiratePad for example to start collaborating on documentation.
Also, about the documentation, my opinion is to use (i.e. for the API and Tutorials) Markdown and especially MkDocs to convert text to HTML.Then the whole documentation can be hosted on Github and users can contribute to the documentation by making pull requests.This will achieve a better presentation of the whole documentation.Besides that, Github can be used to serve a Wiki as well.

As for the future development of Qora, I do believe that we should get focused more on the front end and kept the core as it is, from the moment that the forthcoming upgrades take's place.My thought is to keep the existing wallet as it is and deliver also to the public an alternative HTML based wallet that will be fully compatible with the API and will serve Qora in a more flexible front end.As I don't have further information on the existing wallet and I don't know how feasible is to serve HTML content from within (I guess that it is) that's why I had made that thought, to proceed with an alternate wallet.

Another thing that I would like to mention at the moment is about the governance and how open source communities govern themselves.
This is really crucial so I would like to drill it down to the basics by sharing with you the below useful links
Governance Models
Essential Tools For Running A Community-Led Project
If you don't have the time to read the above then please read this short article that describes The Eclipse Model.

Then, as a community, I believe that we need to establish something like the below.



But in order to have this established we do need activity from the members.
Of course there are other things that are needed to be discussed and established as well, like marketing activities, business development etc, but let's first set our first goals.

Vous pouvez me dire comment on pouvait retirer ses Unity de Bter pour les mettre sur son Wallet Nxt ?

... En espérant pouvoir un jour les retirer de Bter. 

We are hoping to get a Bitcoin clone to implement AT (it has been designed in a way that it should be able to work with Bitcoin's Script engine with just one new op code being required).

If this is achieved then AT would end up being the "standard" method to do such ACCT transfers and a marketplace could evolve in each supporting blockchain.

I'll write it only once for all who interested.
There was two ways to survive:

1. Transform BBR to some kind of scam with hard fork (any radical changes gonna be scam, including converting BBR into a PoS, since many people don't like PoS coins) and to seize money from BBR. This would be true betrayal. As you may know, i've decided to not kill this project in that way, since i have a future plans for this project.

2. The second was to work out some other interesting project with the same codebase, to cover live spendings, and to keep BBR as it originally was conceived.

I've chosed second way. Befor new year we going to release new GUI, and next release will be the new wallet mode, that actualy utilize fully anonymouse outputs feature. But still, if someone don't like this my attitude - i don't have time and intention to convince you - feel free to quit.

Poll ended today at block 75623 (2015-02-15 23:58:35 GMT)





Qora members gave authorization to the AT team (CIYAM Developers) in order to proceed with a new wallet version that will launch the Automated Transactions feature on Qora.

This poll has gathered the 17% from the balances of Qora's users, making this poll to have the largest participation ever made on Qora's poll feature.
The decision was unanimous among voters showing the importance of people's voice and how their decision could lead to a new era.
With the AT live on Qora's blockchain, we can claim that we are part of the world's first "Atomic Cross-Chain Transfer" between Qora and Burst, establishing a completely decentralized way of trading in cryptocurrencies.
