A big big thanks to every body involved and taking the time to seriously think over and weigh the odds in this whole voting process. It is quite frankly a liberating process for me since the foundation of this process is intact as it should be. Again, from the very first developer to all further involved developers and to the community as a whole, thank you. Long Live Qora!!  

I'm sensing some sort of psychological disorder.

dear COMM
if there are enough participants TALK might be willing to help
i'm just throwing it out there ... there seems to be some renewed interest in this coin
personally I thought it was very dead but it syncs now?  TALK was once a LAZARUS and seems to be recovering, and our focus is POS coins, so stop by let us know the details https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=864994.0

I don't think anyone ever paid their rent from their TipJar.

If you have a specific project, you can crowdfund to get the necessary economy-of-scale to make it work. But just TipJar that sits there is afaik pretty much insignificant.

So while it sounds nice, the economics ostensibly don't work:


Perhaps you will argue that tips will be greater if people have an easier and more instant way to tip.

Let's say I have 10,000 readers per month at my blog, and 5% of them tip me on average 50 cents. That is $250 per month. That won't even pay rent. And 5% is I think fairly high conversion rate.

Also I think people get tired of tipping. It sounds nice and everyone is motivated at the start, but over time they will grow weary of the cognitive load of, "who do I tip this month?". They have to organize all their web activity and analyze it. The cognitive load is the real killer.

OPERATION SALVAGE
any coins out there that TALK community can save? help?

i have a few in mind, but rather hear opinions first

You do know @xyz is part of the community, right?  

They believe that users will agree to be paid to watch some ads in order to earn the BTC to pay to not see ads on their other favorite sites. That is the carrot. The stick is that normal ads will be blocked by default for all users.

Problem is that there are much more lucrative monetization gamification models than advertising, which spam and intrude on users less. Advertising is going to die and be replaced with superior gamification which is more attuned to users' preferences.

Also users and publishers don't want to hand such control over to the Brave team. The only solutions that will be widely adopted will be those not controlled by anyone, i.e. decentralized protocols.

Brenden Eich better stick with his core competency of the programming language Javascript.

In my humble opinion, fostering an environment where debate and dialog can take place is an important part of community-building process.

As a community, we should strive to become a democracy where all sides' arguments can be presented and heard. We should become more tolerant and encourage more members to speak their minds and present their views and arguments. Juding from all the debates and disucssions going on in the past couple days, I'd say we're going the right way.  

Personally, I'm very appreciative of everyone's input, regardless of whether I agree with the argument put forth or not. From what I see, jwinterm has been very civil in presenting his view. So I, for one, definitely welcome his participation in our discussion and his decision to take part in our community.  

Having said that, I think having a moderated thread will be considered against the spirit of a community project such as Qora. I prefer to have things as the way they are.

Thank you!

Nothing I am aware of.
May be someone from the community can resurrect this again

COMM is dead? No?

This coin is well and truly dead. It was a bad start with this dictatorial asshole "TheMightyX" and after the disappearance of Nullu we should give up.

Link to BE is in the OP. Replace the "(dot)" and swap with "."

I asked the dev about coinmarketcap well over a year ago, I didn't get an answer then, so I doubt you'll get one now.

Welcome to the vTorrent bagholders club.

Thanks, all details will be revealed soon, don't forget to also check out theviralexchange.com

It may be as simple as point and click for you, but you can take a look at the notes here:

There is a troubleshooting guide and a link to the slack channel should you need further help setting up.

Hi, everyone!  I have the following announcements to make:

1. ca333, the security expert from Switzerland, will join Qora dev team as a security consultant/core contributor. He had provided code contributions and performed security audits for Qora in the past.  After joining the dev team, he will support Qora development by providing critical security analysis/bug fixes and much needed consultation.

He has my full support and trust, and I have full confidence in his expertise and ability to provide critical analysis.  To get an idea of what kind of work ca333 had been doing in the past, feel free to check out his BTT profile.

2. vbcs and CIYAM will continue to be a part of our Qora dev team.  Everything is cool. Please relax.  

So, everyone, let's get back on track and continue with the development!    Skerberus is currently working on bug fixes in 0.26.  I'll let him make an announcement when it's ready for release.
