What is it for? I don't see any point in this at all.
Another CENTRALIZED Exchange.
Qortal was not created for this.
We have a wonderful Trade Portal where:
You are the server,
You are the Exchange,
You are an independent node.
It is wonderful.
You trade with other people, and all funds are stored on your own PC. You are not transferring money to some third party exchange.
Complete decentralization.
We just need more pairs to the Trading Portal and forget about these centralized controlled exchanges.

I think you are missing the point, Qort's goal is to be very decentralized to the point that even a centralized exchange can choose to list it if they wish.

The developers didn't push for this. The listing was done by someone outside of the developer team and it is their freedom to do it.

Qort developers are not putting any restrictions on exchange listing, they just don't encourage it or support centralized exchanges.

They would rather have people use the DEX as it would be more secure than trading on an exchange that might get hacked, funds locked, shut down, etc.

- ANN - New version 1.3.6 of the Qortal Core, addressing db size, BTC stability, and more.

Version 1.3.6 of the core has been released, we will NOT do an auto-update until many nodes have been updated manually first...


This version addresses DB size, includes the first 'trimming' method that removes old online account signatures, and keeps them trimmed to certain size, along with other trimming to keep db around 6GB and not increasing.

This version fixes the trade portal and BTC functionality making it much more stable and functional.

Now we can really start promoting harder.


Next steps:

1. List LTC for faster, cheaper trades.

2. Get the voting system going

3. Take votes for future listings

4. Start designing app, even if the app is only a wallet and Q-Chat (or maybe two different apps)

5. Add features to Q-Chat beyond what we've already added, with emojis, etc... add the ability to store messages longer on each individual machine, etc.

When web hosting ?

Giving this another shot on my poor Intel core i3 lol. But after reading about leap seconds and the slowing of the Earth's rotation on its access, I would like to keep my clocks in sync on my humble, but efficient machine.

Definitely install the new version - https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases/download/v1.3.7/Qortal-1.3.7.exe

If you are coming from an older version chain db... you will have a 're-shape' that takes place upon initial start. This may take some time to complete.

After that it will start and many issues are resolved. Including less CPU usage for your i3.

I think I'm going to cry. I saw the last link was for 1.3.6 and I've been syncing for two days and still am only at 84%... what do I do now?

EDIT - Alright I deleted my old 1.3.6 AppData. And the wizard for 1.3.7 is running. I'll be back in December when I finally get this running.

Been stuck at 40% for the last hour

1.3.6 was at 84% after 2 days. I deleted all the files, rebooted my PC, and it was moving along all day til now. What do I gotta do? My time says its exact

Followed instructions for the bootstrap off of github release page. I will report back. All this for a coin I can't afford buying and probably won't be competitive enough to mint lol. Blockchain looks worth it tho!

There is no 'competition' to mint... did you read the distribution? Every minter shares every block's reward, if they're online and sync'd with a minting key assigned. The level of the minter denotes their share of the reward...

You don't 'compete'... you simply stay online and mint.

I'm on Level 0 I'm dumb as rocks when I try to create a minting key it won't let me. I was donated 11 QORT and I thank you who did that

I will sponsor you...

In order to become a level 1 minter on Qortal you must FIRST obtain SPONSORSHIP from another minter of level 5 or higher, or a Qortal Founder.

1. You will get the sponsorship key from me, and attach that in 'node management' - 'add minting account' - assign the sponsorship key.

2. You will remain online and synchronized for 7200 online blocks ('blocksminted' in Qortal API call for account.) - once you have done this, you will BECOME level 1 (it will show at the top left of the Qortal UI)

3. THEN you remove the sponsorship key from node management - click it, and input the sponsorship key again when prompted to remove - and CREATE your own MINTING KEY by issuing 'Reward Share' - 'New Reward Share' - 0% - to YOUR OWN PUBLIC KEY (which can be found by clicking the settings toggle at the top right of the Qortal UI where it will show account information)

4. The key that pops up when you issue your reward share 0% to your own public key - is your MINTING KEY - now assign this key in node management add minting account just like you did with the initial sponsorship key.

That's it... you will never again have to change this key, and can continue minting on Qortal.

So do I understand this right. to be a minter you need to get sponsorship from someone who is level 5 in the discord or qchat?

I am not particularly keen on chatrooms or chat servers.

Is there another way to get sponsorship without joining discord or qchat.?

I read your whole announcement.   I actually find this project very interesting.

[ChrisPop]

The first time in a while I see pure hard-core developers working with a vision in mind and passion in the heart. Pretty much like Satoshi if you ask me.

Qortal is something else guys. Definitely not the typical, mediocre altcoin. Looking forward to the raffle!
