The people who got refunds were people who paid for the privilege. They invested through an escrow account set up by Anon136, and they paid his escrow fee to be protected by him. Those who didn't want to pay his escrow fee got their BTC stolen.

I myself was one of them; I lost more than 1 BTC.

The original developer NFDCoin is gone. The new team can't refund anyone's BTC because he took them. Every member of the development team has been robbed too, just like everyone else who sent BTC directly to the robber.

We don't have the BTC to refund anyone because the BTC were stolen! We're helping out our fellow victims by launching NFD anyway; it's all that we can do.

Anon136 is not associated with NFDCoin; he's a very well-respected escrower who's earned his respect by doing his job as an escrower. He did what he was paid to do, and his responsibility ends there. He kindly agreed to do escrow work for the new NFD - about which, more later - but again he's doing so as an independent contractor earning fees by providing an independent service.

"It's not fair"? You're right, it's not fair. But the fault is solely NFDCoin's because he is a robber instead of an honest dev. And he's vanished into Internet anonymity...  

So ipo funds are accredited to investor N2 account once processed  by DEV? Or are is N2 distributed after ipo ends?

The 'Kora tokens' will be issued to the people on the registration stakeholder list for free, YES! People wont pay for their stake, that is correct.

I expect many will start trading as soon as they get their 'Kora tokens' though, so within a short time period I expect the market will set a value in NXT (and therefore all other coins tradeable via the NXT ecosystem) very soon after release, so as soon as they're released I expect the Kora coins to have a 'value', so anyone buying them AFTER the initial distribution will pay the market price.

Very similar to many other coins - ShareCoin, CoffeeCoin, EnergyCoin etc etc

IPO's are bad news IMO. Best idea is to give the coins away fairly for free in a way that minimises fraud and multiple accounts, and then use a small % for development.

Information's coming soon! Right now, I'm at the loose-end stage in the distro list. When it's complete, I'm going to post it on a new thread and fire out a storm of PMs telling everyone the good news. After all, good promotion begins at home.

Once everyone knows that NFD is still on, I'm going to be spreading the word to every crypto media outlet I can find - including CoinDesk. I'll also put out a press release.

At that point, the best thing you can do is talk about it! We really have a story to tell: victims banding together to launch a coin after the scammer robbed them and took off. That's a crypto first!


this is a +1111111 story

Mawo!
inform us about the course of events to promote this coin
thank you

Je se vozaju...

where is the wallet?

+100

100% it is. its not the only crypto doing anonymous tx's. nxt could have done it but theres far more important projects that had to be developed instead so they put nxt privacy(thats what they are calling it, different levels of privicy for different users) to the back of the Que!

dobar si onda. TAko i ja radim vecina mi je u BTC-u.

Kora :: Sibling of Qora :: Free & Fair distribution :: Stakes issued on NXT AE :: Launched after Qora source code released

Mission statement: Bootstrap Kora, a clone of Qora with a free & fair equal distribution on a mass scale to over 3,000 stakeholders.

Kora will have 10,000,000,000 coins, equally shared to all stakeholders.

You can help!
Developer team, stakeholder registration team, web & network infrastructure team, marketing team - everything is open - we are bootstrapping a community from the ground up. Here is your chance - what would the 'ultimate' crypto community look & feel like? Let us know! Got an idea? Join Kora and make it happen.

Kora: the plan so far!

• Free distribution - 1 stake for 1 human
• Fair distribution - sockpuppet countermeasures will be used to prevent multiple accounts
• Stakes will be issued on the NXT asset exchange after stakeholder registration is completed
• Development, marketing, community & network infrastructure will be funded using development stakes
• Kora will be launched AFTER Qora source is released
• You will be able to trade your Kora stake on the NXT AE regardless of when the Qora source is released

Note: This is not the registration thread for Kora. This is a call to action! We need your ideas & your help & your committment! Post ideas & support, BUT understand that the official stakeholder registration will be later. Posting in this thread does NOT mean you have registered for a stake in Kora. YOU CAN HELP! How should we organise the Kora stakeholder registration? Let us Know!!

Kora will be a new crypto-currency designed from the ground up to solve Bitcoin’s biggest problems while also adding new promising features. Kora is based on Qora, which has been built from scratch and will not rely on any other crypto-currency. Kora uses a new proof-of-stake algorithm making it future-proof.

Kora is a clone of Qora which has been developed in Java and relies on native C libraries to perform the most CPU intensive tasks.

Guaranteed Features
1)   Ed25519 DSA to verify and sign messages.
2)   1-5 minute block time depending on the network activity.
3)   Retargeting every 10 blocks.
4)   Password protected wallets that can be recovered/generated from seeds.
5)   New Proof-of-Stake algorithm.
6)   A JSON RPC API to directly communicate with the client.
7)   Naming Service: Allows the user to register a key-value pair which can be used for various purposes (URLS, addresses, …)
This Naming Service will also include an exchange where users can buy and sell keys.
8 )   Colored Coins/Assets.
9)   Arbitrary Transactions: A simple feature which allows users to send any payload they want over the network. This can be used by third-parties to build additional features on top of Kora (data storage, chat).
10)   Transaction Boosting: Higher transaction processing speed by not having to broadcast the transactions to the whole network.

Possible Features
1)   Anonymous transactions/Zerocoin: One of the biggest problems of Bitcoin is of course that every transaction is traceable. Currently Zerocoin is the most promising project which is trying to solve that problem in a decentralized way.
2)   Cross Blockchain trading.
3)   Finite Blockchain/Blockchain shrinking.
Kora will be the first second generation 'super coin'. We know how to assemble the elements for the 'ultimate' crypto currency, and Kora will learn from the successes & failures of all previous coins.

The sad truth is NXT and Qora are both very promising crypto currencies, but both have suffered from small exclusive distributions. The IPOs were both open and public, but neither achieved widespread adoption, and both suffer from too many large whales, and perceptions that both coins are 'unfair'.

- Our goal is for Kora to have at least 3,000 stakeholders at launch.
- Stakes will be distributed as tokens on the NXT AE as soon as the registration process is over, and the final stakeholder list is completed.

We will learn from NEM (community building)
We will learn from NHZ (node payment bot)
We will learn from ShareCoin (sockpuppet countermeasures)
We will learn from EVERY coin that has gone before

"The foundation of any global crypto currency will be a large, engaged, and active community using and promoting a cutting edge POS coin."

1 -100% POS coins are superior to POW coins
2- A free, fair & WIDE distribution is better than a paid IPO that results in a very small initial distribution
3- Learn from the collective experience of every coin that has gone before!

NXT - great coin, bad distribution - 73 stakeholders - Grade 'C'
Qora - great coin, bad distribution - 137 stakeholders - Grade 'C'
NEM - great coin (we hope!) - great distribution - BUT controversial (sockpuppets, paid IPO) - Grade 'B'
Kora - great coin - great distribution - no controversy - great community - Grade 'A'

Kora - great coin - great distribution - sockpuppet countermeasures - Free - development will be funded using developer stakes

- 100 Proof-of-stake [POS]
- Free shares
- NO IPO - development will be paid for using development stakes
- Community building - our aim is to launch with at least 3,000 stakeholders using the principal "one stake for each unique human"

Join Kora and make a difference!

Work is proceeding, the transaction is ready, also found a couple of bugs with the accounts, now we fix them.  May 25, hoping to launch a beta test
