I'm still curious about the POS.  All the generating amounts that I see are in the multi-millions.  I was hoping that I could also get a block but so far I am unsuccessful.  I hope the POS is not only for the whales.

Thanks everyone for the replies!

Regarding the AE, I bought part of a stake there.  Is there anything I need to do for now or just wait until NEM is formally released?

On the bright side, all this attention has made people like myself more aware of NEM and I was able to buy part of a stake in the AE.  So with people like me who are not part of the IPO but buying on the AE, the distribution is getting even better 

I tend to agree with dzarmush here.  I personally don't like to use AE; however, I feel like it helps get our coin more exposure and there may be people with lots of these other coins (such as NXT) that are happy to trade some for Qora.

The more ways we can get people to notice Qora and learn about it's potential the better, and I feel the AE's help with this.

Some of us missed the IPO, so we are hoping to buy Qora while it's still affordable 

I can confirm that is how it worked for me when I traded for a different coin on the AE.  Its not the most user friendly place (I prefer exchanges), but I'm glad we at least have a way to trade Qora for now.  I've got a buy order out there waiting

I guess I'm confusing the issue, and I apologize.  I'll let you guys sort it out.

bitcoinrocks, you need to read your own posts.  You are the one who said the coins your coins were transferred to sharexcoin.

We all agree that Poloniex is fine...his shares were transferred to sharexcoin....his question was about getting his coins out of sharexcoin.

You are correct that your scenario is in the blockchain.  I was replying that you need to keep in mind the bigger picture where we can't validate the transfer.  These people lost out just like you, but it can't be confirmed.

The coins never made it to my address...so my guess is that they are still in the main sharecoin wallet with no record of the purchase without having their DB....I may be mistaken.

That only helps for certain scenarios.  I had bought coins on sharexcoin and was in the process of withdrawing them (it was only 50K so that is why I'm not complaining.)  But there are folks with lots of coins that were in the same situation as me.  There is no way to verify that by the blockchain because it was internal to sharexcoin.

Great job pulling together the distribution list...all your hard work is greatly appreciated.

I gave up on Poloniex for now and just went to ShareXCoin.  Both my BTC deposit and my Qora withdraw went quickly without issue.

I don't agree with any of your points above.  I don't see how a multi-pool gives anyone any control over the coin.

I just don't feel a multi-pool is going to be what drives the price of this coin up.

I'm not convinced that a multipool is right for this coin.  NXT has a multipool and it does not get much interest, nor did it have any affect on the price.  Seems like these pools only help out the coins that have no real features to offer and the pool is the only thing driving interest.

I would think the 1.5MM coins would be better used promoting the coin in the various ways already mentioned.

I agree and this makes no sense.  Right now, Qora is the 6th largest volume on Poloniex (it's making them good money).  You would think that they would want to fix their issue and get as much of the Qora trade volume that they can.

I had a couple of questions about the POS blocks that I was hoping someone could answer:

1) Is the POS reward equal to the transaction fee for the solved block (like NXT)?
2) For the people that have setup nodes, if the node is running without the UI, is it still trying to solve POS blocks?  Or does the wallet need to be open?

I also prefer the Qora wallet over NXT.  Of course these current wallet glitches need to get cleaned up, but I personally find it much easier and quicker to use as well.
