[ANN] Qora | Released 16 May | 100% POS | New Source

[wizzardTim]

Ive just recieved a message from our great DEV Qora:

''I am willing to help the community with whatever they want.
For this project I had a certain idea and the way I have been doing things is to achieve this idea as fast as possible.
Now it seems the community wants to focus more in marketing and I will help you if you need me.''

It's really nice the DEV will help us with everything we want to do, so he is not just creating and coding the coin and leave it to the community members, but here to stay and build Qora

It's a great news, although I wouldn't say the community puts marketing over development. It's just that we can't really participate in development by ourselves. First we need qora tell us what to do. For example he could start working on anonymous transactions and we could find someone to work on AE. Like Cfb found Jean-Luc. Although Jean-Luc eventually became the core dev and rewrote the whole source, but we don't need someone that big, coz we have qora.

So back to AE or any other feature. We could gather 10-20 million Qora bounty for someone talented who is able to implement one of main features. But first we need qora to tell us what part of the job he might outsource and how much he thinks it costs.

Personally I've found the community attitude is oh Qora is a genius but we aren't going to listen to a damn word he says or follow his direction. I feel like Qora is building the future of cryptocurrency while the community is trying to build dogecoin or NEM. Its gonna be another clusterfuck like NXT imo with a million people involved. Instead of following him you are asking him to follow you, ie a bunch of fuckwits who just want fancy wallets so they can look as 'good' as NEM.. THE HUMANITY!

My thinking is clearly against the flow of the coin ie let Qora do development and we just watch and help when and what he asks. So I don't need the stress of arguing all the time against the flow here. I can't bear to watch Qora turn into looking like a fucking NXT clone lookalike. Just can't do it. 

So I'm out at least for the time being at least, sold most of my coins and will buy in later if things develop. I hope this new direction in the end is more successful than Qora's would of been. Good luck.


One warning before I go. If Qora was BCNext and he got tired of all the talk and discussion and not action then don't be surprised if he gets tired again of NXT 2.0. Community and leaves early. Again Good luck.

I would also prefer that qora's focus stayed on development, but there is no reason for such drama. No reason at all. The features will be implemented, what's the rush?

I like that qora listens to the community, if the community wants to focus for some time on marketing, it's fine by me. I mean we don't even have a website!!!

Not holding qoras was a bad move from my perspective. Good luck with the BTC slug.

That's why a strategy is needed to be designed (thanks to ASIC we have a strategic planning )and get more people involved to achieve a well running, coordinated and full operational batch of community departments.
Marketing is only one activity, if in example we run marketing activities right now it might fail, no stable wallet, no GUI, no extras, people needs to have something before they invest.But we can surely organize some marketing activities atm.
The point is that there's a lot of work needed to be done, not only form the dev but from everyone that wants to get involved (ASIC has an entire plan for that).
Qora is a new project, almost different from the main cryptos.Our qoal is not only to promote it as it is, but to enhance it with new features to make it the "market changer".And this will be achieve only by let raising the number of the involved members.I.E. the date that the source of Qora will be published, yes, it is a day that our marketing efforts will might bring new people to the project - community (that's a "mission").

Kind of contradicts what you were saying about taking action before Qora makes a move  

So I'm out at least for the time being at least, sold most of my coins and will buy in later if things develop. I hope this new direction in the end is more successful than Qora's would of been. Good luck.

Hmmm, interesting move. Why announce? Not sure if many would have wondered were you were.   You have helped promote Qora, sometimes too aggressively in my opinion, but hey, we'll see where it goes.

Good luck yourself. TAC is hot now...check it out (shameless plug).

the big sell off was you gorillajam?

I'd like to see the Qora marketing vision evolve to something like: "the first cryptocurrency implemented on traditional stock exchanges by June 20, 2015." (of course due to enhanced features including lightening validation speed, effective transaction boosting, and featherweight blockchain size).

Let's get to the big leagues marketing team.

PS - I have no idea what you are rambling about in the strikethrough bits, sorry.

[^_^]

I am not able to start the version 9 since yesterday. When I execute the run.bat file it starts and then shuts down itself. I am running windows 7. Please help.
I have deleted the wallet folder in order to get it from the seed. Redownloaded the software but Still no luck.

delete the file data.dat.t in the data folder can fix it,it is a bug,i have report to qora.

why qora didnot solve this problem?Many times I can not quit properly.

He try to fix,but still have some problem,be patient.

I think that what you mentioned that you would like to see is on the same direction with what I have noted.I am just saying to be pro - active.My words are in order to implement great features we need to have people working on new features.So, is it simple, we need individuals who will see potentials and opportunities with Qora.I will repeat my self ... tiny steps like that will drive qora to top.

PS : I prefer to see "the stock markets integrated into Qora".

good this gorilla guy have solled his Qora and is gone, what a negativity, damn.

Let's focus on the the further development now with the people who are positive and optimistic and who are willing to work, instead of wining and not giving a solution.

As you can see, the world of crypto is a fast one, coins come and go. If we really want to say we need to be perfect in each aspect, the looks, the wallet, the design, the user friendly, the codes, new features, active community, flyers, marketing you name it.

IMO NXT is a great example of building a perfect product with some leaders and a big community that is helping the leaders and doing what they can. Only by this way a coin can be stable in cryptoworld and grow and become a leader in the crypto.

In this chat: http://coinia.net/qora/chat/ Here we will discuss the further development of Qora, we will post in this thread the progress of the developments. Every communitymember is free to join the chat and see what we are discussing and bring input in the development.

Please type: #Qora-Core and you will come in the chat. This is for all the members, but we are also creating a core team around the Qora dev who can lead the rest of the community.

So please Dzarmush, Wizzard, Agran, Asic, and of course the Qora dev, come to this chat so we can discuss further development.

If there are other people who like to be a part of the Qora-Core team and who are willing to make time for Qora and help, feel free to send me a message.

Thanks

Is there any way to exclude peers?

I don't know of any way to exclude a peer w/ Qora, but for now, you may just want to remove that IP from your settings.ini file (if it's there) and restart the client.

That node does not appear in my client's peer list.

Also, the node you guys are referencing is owned by "lyynx" (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=164605), you may want to send him a PM and ask him to restart his node.
