How nice to have new developments about qora and qort.

-Update- Final case design chosen for Gen 1. Gen 1 image updated and I will be testing newest image today.


I will post pics of the tests as well as the other pics on the OP shortly.

Going to be doing some updates to the OP today with new pictures.

also, updates to the wiki regarding the different versions of the device we're planning have been completed.

Thank you. Yes, we've been at this for quite some time now, it's very nice to finally be so close to the platform's launch. We plan to have the ANN for the software launch out very soon as well. We will get this information out in as many places as possible.

All QORA holders will need to burn their existing QORA in order to be entitled to the transition to the QORT chain, and obtaining their QORT tokens, and the QORA asset that lets the system know you are entitled to those tokens.

-UPDATE-

We are testing the newest image for the Gen 1 device now, and getting the final case design printed. We will then be testing the LED lighting setup, and doing some more videos on the device.


Also, I wanted to reiterate the fact that THE ONLY TIME people will ever be able to obtain a PRE-ENABLED MINTING ACCOUNT, is DURING THIS PRE-SALE. (So, only for another month!)

After the pre-sale there will be no option for us to include the pre-enabled account keys in the genesis block, and thus no way for us to do this ever again...


SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN OBTAINING A PRE-ENABLED MINTING ACCOUNT, THE ONLY TIME YOU CAN DONATE AND MAKE THIS HAPPEN, IS FOR ANOTHER MONTH, DURING THE PRE-SALE TIMES. AFTER THAT, THIS WILL NEVER BE A POSSIBILITY AGAIN!


.25 TO .499 BTC DONATION - FIRST ACCESS TO ALL NEW DEVICES, GEN 1 DEVICE, AND LEVEL 1 MINTING ENABLED ACCOUNT

.50 TO .749 BTC - FIRST ACCESS TO ALL NEW DEVICES, GEN 1 DEVICE, AND LEVEL 3 MINTING ENABLED ACCOUNT

.75 BTC OR MORE - FIRST ACCCESS TO ALL NEW DEVICES, GEN 1 DEVICE, (OTHER BONUSES WILL BE GIVEN AS WELL) AND A LEVEL 5 MINTING ENABLED ACCOUNT. (GETTING TO THIS LEVEL WILL TAKE QUITE A WHILE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE PRE-FORGED QORA BLOCKS, OR THESE SPECIAL DONATION KEYS. YOU ARE SAVING YOURSELF MONTHS OF TIME AND EFFORT OF RUNNING A NODE, AS WELL AS OBTAINING THE LARGER PORTION OF THE BLOCK REWARDS FROM THE START OF YOUR ACCOUNT! THIS IS A HUGE BONUS!)

Hello, I just saw your product. I don't know what is the difference between this product and China Thunder's "player cloud"? What additional value does it have to buy your equipment in addition to coinage? Can you send me a link to the Qortal project?

Hello, I know nothing of this other device you mentioned... However...

The differences are likely vast between any other device and the QORT device, as our device utilizes a completely custom blockchain platform that is unlike any other.

Our chain will have the ability to trade directly cross-chain with BTC (and eventually other coins), it will have the ability to host both public and private data (when that phase is released) and will have the ability to host websites, blogs, social media, etc.


The QORT device is built to be a full node and/or minting node on the chain, and the next version will be built to be a data node as well.

You can read the existing data about QORT here - http://wiki.qortal.org

Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!

Excellent progress so far. I am following. Your device is looking out of this world. So many things on one device and stable and working normal full speed. Amazing

It is completely different concept and not similar in any way.

Crowetic,

I'd like to buy the hardware.  Sign me up!

Sounds good bro, I will message you shortly, in discord. and/or you can message me here. Talk to ya soon.

Thank you, I have gotten the first 'final' case , haven't done the LED lighting, but I am now testing the newest firmware image, so far so good, used the tor gateway to download torrents the other day with both a tor gateway and tor DNS... has been great... the newer image should be to me today, with even more added features.



Here's a shot of it running on my desk now.

[MRPD]

If next gen 2 or 3 are more better than gen 1 then how about the swap or upgrade instead of buying the next gen ? Any package about that ?

[crowetic]

Doing a bit of testing and improvement, and addition of the LEDs.



Also, have decided to add some wire mesh in between the inner edges of the case, and the board, so that the 'honeycomb' and the logo therein, won't be as 'see through', and instead it should POP quite well, especially with the LED lighting running. Pretty excited about that, ordered a bunch of the necessary components today to get those ideas started.

Amazing Project! Everyone can now own a portion of the decentralized trade portal! What exchange would ever allow you to do that, not to mention without giving your ID and Private Info.
It was worth the wait!!!

I just sent my BTC to buy a QORT device. 

[ChrisPop]

I want to see a pic with the LED lightning too haha How much memory does the QORT router have? For example can we run all the services listed on the Wiki at the same time on it? Like Tor + Bitcoin wallet + QORT full node + host a website, etc. ?

received. I will be posting a few more pictures in a moment, added a wire braided mesh behind the top of the case, looks sweet!

[crowetic]

-[Update]- Testing new device image, and new 'mesh' addition on case.

We have decided to add a new 'mesh' under the top part of the case, which I personally think looks great!

Not only does the mesh enhance the look of the device, and will look really cool with the LED installation (which I will be doing later today...) but it also enhances the strength of the case top itself, especially the center of the logo. So it's a win win!

See below...




I am also testing the newest device image today which allows for any device (even on a LAN the device is using as its WAN) to utilize its tor gateway. Also a new monitoring tool, and a few other things. Will post more updates shortly.


ALSO - the 3D printer sent me an idea for a 2-color case version (this one doesn't have the mesh installed yet as it isn't to me yet.)

Yes it runs everything and more space left to run more. It is too good and optimised. You will be lucky to get reply from dmax but he has all answers. He built the image for this project.
