People I'd like to ask you not to waste time with QoraKnight and other obvious trolls, even those who are to come. I know I have no right to tell you what to do with your time, but his only mission is to derail this thread and by giving him attention he is being successful. Let us focus on Qora.

Please, add him to your ignore list and spend your time on making Qora better
Thank you
Yes, it should be obvious, but please everyone stop trolling, and stop responding to trolls. Are you all 15? Potential users / developers / investors won't read 5+ pages if there are only 2-3 quality posts in them. I don't like to have people on my ignore list if they sometimes contribute good posts, but I'm rapidly losing respect for a bunch of people who I previously had different opinions on (not that you're likely to care, but still).
I'd rather focus on what can be done to move Qora forward.
It has the potential to successfully compete with Nxt and Ethereum in terms of features, and with any coin in terms of adoption and USD market cap. But it has a long way to go, and although the lead developer is actively working on improving stability and adding new features, he can only do so much by himself.
Hats off to the likes of agran who has quietly put together both a block explorer and a chat room, amongst other things. It is initiatives like this which will help add real value to Qora.
Anyone who cares about Qora long term should focus on building an active, constructive, and effective community, and helping that community add real value into Qora. It doesn't need to be official, with a foundation and committees and chairmen; it just needs to be constructive.
Some things that everyone can do:
- Run nodes. Keep them up to date. Unlock them so they actively forge
- Use the client. Report bugs. Report feature requests
- Focus on stability, security, features, value-add, awareness, and adoption; the price will follow
Some things that you can maybe do, depending on your skill profile:
- Write wiki articles and FAQ entries to help new people out with common issues
- Write articles about Qora, and distribute them to increase awareness. Promote on twitter, reddit, facebook, industry conferences, and other community groups
- Build services that use the API. Dice games, block explorers, faucets, node bounties, alias browser add-ons, web wallets, mobile wallets, SMS wallets, etc
- Give feedback to qora about changes you'd like to see to the API
- Find ways to support the main qora dev. Run a bug tracking system and act as triage for reported bugs. Work with him to produce a Qora whitepaper.
Despite the last few pages, I'm still positive about Qora's future. I hope I'm not wrong!
