Qortal - fully decentralized infrastructure - websites,trading,communications

[crowetic]

Hey guys. Love the ideas I've read in here so far. I just started with Qortal as it was recommended to me by a Devcoin (DVC) developer (Traxo on bitcointalk).

The timeserver sync and check on Windows is amazing! And very intriguing.

Only problem I'm having is I've installed both the Windows EXE files from the latest github release, Qortal (the app 1.3.5) and the current UI. Running the UI and the app is no problem. It does use a lot of memory but I got memory to spare!

I just am stuck synchronizing the app at 68% but it says on the UI that I am stuck at just short of 60,000 blocks.

I have peers connected, are there ports I need to let through my firewall? Also my windows notifications said I received a message from a Qortal user when I ran the client first last night and I can't find it anywhere in the UI.

The UI still has a few little bugs... such as the bug you're mentioning now...


I would suggest...

• kill the UI
• Wait for the core to be 100% synchronized.
• restart the UI

See if the caching issue is resolved.

(This is literally just an issue with the UI caching the incorrect block height, and not displaying correctly, as long as when you mouseover the blue Q icon on the taskbar, and it says 'synchronizing xx% - height - xx,xxx' you're good, just let it finish to 100%.)

When it gets fully sync'd the icon on the taskbar, upon mouseover, will say 'not minting - height - xx,xxx', at which point you're sync'd. THEN start the UI, and you should be good.


Once you're sync'd and account created, go into 'communications - Q-chat' and send a message in 'Qortal General Chat' and I will send you some QORT so that you can register your name on the chain, and potentially join whichever groups you may be interested in joining on the chain.

You can also send me a PM on-chain by going to 'new chat' and sending to 'crowetic', and message me.

Hi to all.
I have trimmed Alfa Vedic podcast into 4 smaller videos. Each video is around 10 min, so it is pleasure to watch them . In video, topic is only Qortal, without talking about other crypto.
I think that now everyone who want to know something about Qortal should watch them, especially when you can jump to some topic which interest you most.

Thnx Alfa Vedic for allowing me to modify his original podcast, you can check it out here:

That functionality has not been released yet. Coming soon. At this point, you can only purchase sell orders in full.

you need to be sponsored in order to mint. you should read on the webpage and all the info there to get a deeper understanding on how it works.

That is correct. Also, check out discord: https://discord.gg/Pp4H6UK . There you can see if you can contribute to platform and gain sponsorship.

Giving it another go tonight - I hope I can sync.

Hi to all.
Check out this How-to Guide for rebuilding your database. If you started with Qortal when Genesis launched, your database may be over 30 GB. Here is guide for rebuilding your database with latest available core version. Database will be around 10 GB after rebuild. Also, you can see how to add minting account.

thank you for the info. just finished syncing up my node. it was very slow every with multiple connections . I need a sponsor now i guess .

[Sikkan666]

For those that doesnt know, you can use the trading bot on discord. Works really great and you can indeed buy/sell fractions and not the entire lump as you do in the trading portal. Just a tips

Things are progressing nicely.

I have updated the website - https://qortal.org - should be a bit simpler to understand, etc.

Also, we're in progress on multiple fronts development wise...


1. We are working out solutions to the large db, which is caused (a large portion anyway) by the 'AT states' for the Trade portal filling up the db.

- we plan to both have a new way for the ATs to function wherein they don't need communication each block, and thus reducing the overall amount of data needed to be saved, and also improving the methods at which the db functions.

2. We are working out the listing of LTC, however, the process is going to take a little longer than initially expected... as most things go that are done correctly.

- We are not far off either way though, and LTC should be able to be added within a relatively short period.



AT THE MOMENT

What we need is for some people to USE THE TRADE PORTAL.

version 1.2.4 UI and 1.3.5 core the trade portal is functional. There is never any risk of loss, so we simply need people to put some BTC in their local Qortal BTC wallet, and use the trade portal to pick up some of these EXTREMELY LOW PRICE orders. (which they will be very happy about in the future.) so we should focus on that, and a bit more marketing and information.

syncing keeps getting stuck after 91%

Are you sure the sync is STUCK, or is it just moving slower? Try restarting your core and see if that helps, if not we have a lot of improvements upcoming.


Here is a great image put together by The Qortal Community illustrating the steps involved in a cross-chain trade in the Trade Portal. I thought this image was a great representation, so I decided to share it here so those outside Discord might see it.

I am also going to post it on the Qortal main website.

Thank you to the community for the great work!
