Hi qora, couple questions...
1. When is the final wallet going to be released? On or before May 16th? If I generate an account number and give it to you, will you send qora to me? I think it's the safer method than transferring account seed.
2. Will you tell us in PM how much Qora we will receive? I just want to know how much I will receive so I can verify the amount later.
3. Could you tell me how POS is going to work in Qora? Is it a minting process like other pos altcoins (ie. if I unlock my wallet, it will automatically generate new coin block). I'd like to learn more about POS in qora.
Great coin, great dev!
The wallet will be released on 16th may. You can create a wallet and let me send your share to any of your addresses.
I will release a list with the calculations which shows how much qora each transaction is worth.
To generate blocks you will need to unlock your wallet. the POS relies on the fact that the client has access to a somewhat reliable time source. Basicly it uses time but does not have to rely on a centralized time server to work. Currently it still uses NTP but later on this will be changed so it works completely decentralized.
I don't really understand this "account seed"
Wouldn't it be easier if we just sent you a pm with our account's address and you send each investor their Qora?
I think this will indeed be the best way to handle it.
I think sending an address to Qora is a pretty simple way to do it. I dont have any more secure way???
BUT it's not fool proof. If someone does have access to your PM they could send an address they make.
CALL ME PARANOID BUT THIS FORUM IS FULL OF HACKER TYPES. WE NEED A SECURE WAY TO DO THIS.
PEOPLE SHOULD CHANGE THEIR ACCOUNT ADDRESS NOW IN CASE THEY ARE HACKED ALREADY.
PEOPLE CALLING TO USE SEEDS WITH SOCK PUPPET ACCOUNTS AND BROKEN ENGLISH WORRIES ME, SORRY IF THAT SOUNDS RACIST.
HOW DOES THE SEED THING WORK?
Oke I undestand some people are confused why I say account seed and not private key. Basicly how the Ed25519 library works is it generates your private key and public key from a seed. What bitcoin does is generating your public key using your private key.
Your idea about the list is not bad... however... the signing a message (Qora address) with the sending BTC address route is very safe and probably the best way to go... review how signing messages with your BTC address works and it will become clear very quickly.
Edit: Will not work for those that sent BTC from exchanges though.
The problem is some people sent directly from the exchange.
The list idea could work but there are only like 3 transaction left from which I do not know the owner.
Most transaction had only one claimer and when there were multiple claimers I asked for proof.
People that want to claim transactions at this point should be able to provide proof.
