-[Announcement]- Qortal Core and UI updates


Qortal Core version 1.3.9

Core update with a few little bugfixes and preparation for LTC in version 1.4.0.

auto-update pushed today, if you are sync'd and you don't have auto-updates disabled, you will update automatically on all platforms.


you can see a blog post I made here about the updates

Linux and Mac users will have to update to 1.3.2 UI manually. Windows should auto-update both core and UI. Everyone should auto-update core unless they have auto-updates disabled.


https://qortal.org/index.php/2020/12/30/qortal-updates-core-version-1-3-9-and-ui-version-1-3-2/


See post for specifics.

The next updates after these, will include the LTC Trade Portal, 3 local wallets (BTC, LTC, and QORT), PRESENCE transactions for Trade Portal sells, and much more.

Very excited about all that has been accomplished recently, applause to the Qortal dev team, looks like 2021 may be the year of Qortal.

out standing work crowetic , keep it up

Thank you, but I can hardly take the credit, the awesome Qortal Community, and Team have been GREAT.

I look forward to this year with great anticipation.

Happy 2021 from Qortal Team!

What is the price of this coin at the moment? 2 satoshi or 3?

Hah...


The prices initially before the scam exchange came in, were 1-3 dollars per coin. Since the BTC Trade Portal didn't work out as expected due to being slow and too many refunds from offline sellers...


The REAL PRICE will come when LTC is added to the mainnet.

But I don't ever expect to see 2 satoshi... lol... not with 1.1 million coins in circulation.

Also, with the change to LTC, we get a MUCH FASTER, MUCH CHEAPER network (LTC network over BTC) to deal with, and therefore we will have trades that are CHEAPER THAN CENTRALIZED EXCHANGES.

That's a great incentive for people who trade on shady unregulated, centralized exchanges and not only..

Looking forward to some tokenomics for QORT, though. Don't get me wrong, the QORT blockchain and network is already offering innovative tech solutions that no one else has. Could be a game-changer, but I'd like to see some ways to leverage QORT holdings and boost its value? Bitcoin is a scarce asset by design which is the main value-driver besides being used as a payment method. Maybe the data-hosting and liquidity provider features will have an important role in the ecosystem?

Great work and excited to be here! 

Yes, many new services, and plugins for the UI, will be coming to allow more use cases for QORT itself.

First we're looking to have a liquid cross-chain market with LTC, establish a price, and go from there.

Many other services both from the core team and others will begin to show themselves in the near future. I'm sure of that.

hi, I'm syncing the blockchain for 2 days now, but I'm still only at 53%..
Is there a faster way to get up to date?

[freigeist]

hi, I'm syncing the blockchain for 2 days now, but I'm still only at 53%..
Is there a faster way to get up to date?

If you have downloaded the latest version of the core then you could bootstrap faster by
downloading the latest bootstrap database
https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases/download/v1.3.9/db-v1.3.9-233404.zip

from the latest releases:
https://github.com/qortal/qortal/releases

The procedure is following:
1) stop your node
2) rename or delete the existing db folder in your qortal folder
3) create empty db folder in your qortal folder
4) unpack the database into this folder
5) restart your core node

If you are on windows you can find the localtion of the qortal folder
by typing into the run terminal the following envarinmet variable %localappdata%

Start -> Run -> (then type %localappdata%) and it will open the qortal folder

If you are on linux then you know already how it works

If you need more help or info let me know.
I hope it will work for you!

Is there a faucet to be able to get started with minting?

Your help is much appreciated!

No faucet as Minters are vetted by humans. I suggest joining the discord and engaging the community. You can also reach out using Q-chat in UI and lastly go to https://join.qortal.org

is this listed on any exchanges yet?

There is no need to list on centralized exchange which gets hacked constantly and leak your personal info.
This platform will be an exchange and much more in the future.

Remember the rule:
NOT YOUR KEYS NOT YOUR CRYPTO.

Livecoin is done. Gone now. And others will follow. I dunno if recent hacks were the responsibility of average guys, or it was the coordinated effort by political elite. May they be responsible for the derailment of crypto focused businesses on various fronts? And can QORT bridge their chain with bitshares?

[crowetic]

[ANNouncement] - HUGE update to Qortal now live, version 1.4.0 with LTC trading, 3 local wallets and PRESENCE!

That's right! We now have a DIRECT cross-chain market with LTC!

We also have MANY enhancements and features in the new version 1.4.0 for both Core and UI:

• LTC cross-chain trading in the LTC Trade Portal
• PRESENCE tx - new tx type that sellers use to prove their node online, so that only online sells are listed on the Trade Portal
• MANY other improvements in the core, to many to list here - see https://github.com/qortal/qortal/releases
• 3 local wallets - BTC, LTC, and QORT
• new wallet layout
• MANY performance enhancing changes in the UI

MANY more things coming! Make people aware that they can now get into QORT with NO third party, and a direct-cross chain trade. YOU ARE NEVER STUCK IN QORT NO MATTER WHAT!

Hopefully everyone is as excited as I am about THIS UPDATE!


auto-update for the core has taken place early morning my time, about 9 hours ago.

UI will auto-update for windows users, mac and linux users will download their version from https://github.com/qortal/qortal-ui/releases - obtain the installer with correct extension for your OS... .dmg - mac, .deb - ubuntu/debian.

Here's to the future of Qortal!

[lyynx]

Tried the trade portal, works flawlessly. Major speed improvement with LTC/Qort trade pair

Glad to hear it!


ANN - UI version 1.4.1 released (minor bugfix for LTC sending from LTC wallet)

We have issued a bugfix 1.4.1 release on the UI to address a send LTC issue we found.

version 1.4.1 on the UI is now live!

is this listed on any exchanges yet?

May they be responsible for the derailment of crypto focused businesses on various fronts? And can QORT bridge their chain with bitshares?

We can potentially build support for any coin/platform in Qortal.

The plan... as it sits now that LTC is live... is to start working on the voting system so that the next supported coins/platforms can be voted on by leveled minters in the network.


For now, we are happy to have our direct cross-chain trading possible with LTC, bringing us a liquid market that can never be shut down. As long as the LTC chain and QORT chain are running, users can directly trade with one another across blockchains with LTC/QORT pair in the Trade Portal.

There is much more that can be done with the existing platform, and we will add more and improve existing plugins/functionality, as we continue into the future.

The founder says qortal is a decentralized trading platform.
But I would like to say this: qortal does not give the private keys of btc and ltc of trade portals to users to keep freely.
How can users withdraw their btc or ltc assets if a major accident occurs on qortal one day and the project cannot proceed?
So I think it is really decentralized only if you give control of the private key of btc or ltc to the user.
In this way, when there is a major accident in qortal, they can import the private key of btc or ltc into another wallet to retrieve their assets

Please do some research or ask the Qortal community regarding items like this before you post half truths. The fact that is, if Qortal had an issue, you would still be able to access your BTC and LTC.

Presently, you are 1/2 correct, there is no built in functionality to export your BTC or LTC keys. However, please see Crowetic's statements.

"the keys are derived in a way that's tied to your Qortal account
so you can backup your Qortal wallet, and you can import into any other, and your BTC and LTC wallets will be there
so no, I don't consider export of the private keys to be a NECESSARY feature right now."

First of all, I'd like to make it clear that you can't take out btc or LTC, without qortal, because you don't have control over the private key of these two coins in your qortal wallet, which means you may lose these two coin assets.
Another qortal automatically updates the version for the user without the user.
If one day a developer upgrade hides the BTC and LTC assets in his wallet, how can the average user get their btc,ltc assets back?
More importantly: several people seem to have found that their BTC assets in the qortal trade portal have been lost.
If users have their BTC private key, they can retrieve the lost btc by importing the btc private key into other btc wallets.


In the past, many wallet projects used mnemonics as proof of all the coins in the wallet.
But after a series of problems, they now implement separate private keys for each coin project. Completely devolve control of the coin to the user.

     You don't have to respond to yourself, Modewei.
  I have been waiting for you.
Regarding the private keys, I cannot decide which is more profound: that you are just hearing about this or that your effort is bested only by your inaccuracy.



  All 47 of you actions on this forum state a clear pattern with little necessary calculation of, "This coin looks promising.  Time to FUD!" with a smattering of "I am here! Where is my airdrop?"
It is clear by your precise selection of woes that you are attempting to attack the fundamental parts of the platform in hopes that it catches air like a true channer.  Unfortunately, you are attacking the payment method: not the platform Qortal.  You are chasing a car and attacking street signs.

  In our last episode, you chose the quantity of users on the network to call as "Bad Pool" but you were factually inaccurate.  Errare humanum est, perseverare autem diabolicum.

          But on TONIGHT'S show, the big bomb is nonexistent private keys.  However, this one is just as explodey as the arithmetic acrobatics episode was.

                 ...because it is old news and you are telling an outright lie stating that no private key exists.  There is no more concise way to put it.
Believe me, I have tried.




Since the song has taken this note, I'd like to direct everyone to please parse this user's activity.  Get to know them as I have.  You can find it right above his merit.





     Modewei allow me to adjust your accuracy to...  ...accurate.

  The "fault" you have heralded and then provided rapport to yourself, in order to spare other users the stress of communication with you is well known.  It is the product of the UI and its mechanism that make private key acquisition arduous but not impossible.  Drew M. Peacock happened upon it and derived his keys after a couple days.  He offered assistance to the entire community regarding acquisition of these keys during a time when the trade portal had turbulence with BTC/Electrum and stability was our focus, as well it should have been.

  It is this that you reference offhandedly as,
 "several people seem to have found that their BTC assets in the qortal trade portal have been lost..".

  Were it not for his efforts, we'd be paying a lot of beta testers out of pocket.  It was only possible because we assisted the users in procuring their OWN key.  This allowed them to locate their currency.

  Private keys are the way things work.  Don't assume things are just on a spreadsheet at the post office and use special handshakes to access because you lack decryption capacity(much less, know it is a possibility).
This is something you would know, were you here at the time as it was a pretty big deal.  By "here", I imply something within the community less clandestine.




  I have been privy to the retrieval process and it is expressly technical.  In this light, it kind of makes sense to not even mention it unless there is an update or it has been rectified.

Now, I can smell you getting all FUDDy at that remark but let's take a moment to analyze this through the lens of logic.


     You enter into a new cryptocurrency platform that debuts with combined services already in function that its peers either find nonexistent or only offer individually.  It is a cryptocurrency tied to an entirely separate platform that boasts custom addresses for all coins used, smart contracts, an inherent trade portal, anonymous communication with group/channel creation, 60 second transfers on the Product coin.
  You arrive to find a platform with more irons running than hands to use them and aspirations of replacing Discord in entirety by combining text, voice, streaming, URL hosting, storage and even looking toward geographical connectivity bypass.  All of that in two separate programs available to all common Operating Systems...

...and you find problems.

This is the fisher-price version of Sherlock Holmes.
But hey, you eventually arrived.

                         \o/




  In reality, we have been able to access our private keys for six months or more.  While it is not an easy task, It will become so as Qortal's primary focus is to offer itself to the world and that means to "the layman".  The layman does not know more than social sites and the routine of their life.

  This a bit of a quandry, eh?
With that posture, they would either HAVE to make it easily accessible or start giving out node.js lessons.

  
     It comes down to this.
  If you care to support Qortal, do so.  We intend to empower those who have not and make equal the freedom.  There are worse things to stand behind.  All things are being geared toward ease of access and ultimately it will operate this way.
If you do not care to support Qortal, that is not a bad thing.  We won't be angry at you if you move on.

  But if you think you are going to pick up on a new bit of information and bring it here to attempt to make Qort's price closer to your income; I will be waiting to advise you that your information is dated from June so you do not have to talk to yourself.


In the future,  provide Reference to your "Some people" and "Many wallet projects" paraphrasing.  Lyynx, the man you are mincing words with is one user who's BTC was lost and now is recovered.

Hello,

Exist somewhere an wallet for qora? Running nodes of qora? Exist an Exchange where i can trade qora?

I think it is most important to make users feel safe.
I don't attack anyone. I'm just saying what I know.
You mentioned my past reply post.
So, I would also like to express my personal opinion on the posts you replied to in the past: do the shit coins you have been recommending to users or added to the mining pool still exist?
Everyone has a process of growing up. Don't judge others about the past.

[Crypto Play Radio]

I see what you did right there.

Please, Let's...



  As Crypto Play Radio we host sponsored ads, write and publish music, articles, commercials and art in many forms.  We devote our podcast and re-streams, provide back links, assist new users to mine, create pools and provide hash power as well as move our live voice operation to their community's chosen location and become an active member as an entity, within.

  We do not attempt to affect pricing, never involve ourselves with client promotions, prizes or ulterior payouts, except in advertisement.  We have a ZERO MANIPULATION policy and we are usually the last to hold bags for morale's sake.


     Founded by four cryptocurrency veterans, Crypto Play Radio believes that the business makes the asset and not the other way around.  We prefer brick and mortar business/cryptocurrency fusions and respect the willingness to place your name and business behind your shill.  We want the success of our industry and not its denigration and we want it yesterday.  We are developers,gamers, miners, and a whole host of technically spread techonophiles.
We provide a place to talk where you friends and family are tired of hearing about cryptocurrency.

  We become team members.


  When we began, we created the "Blocksucker  List" to shape our judgement of other people's ideas, businesses and dreams where cryptocurrency is concerned.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/766617324429115392/799273189401296896/unknown.png
Where times have changed the tenets and their message is clear.  Our business is new businesses.  You would translate all this as, "Our businesses is "shit coins"".


  Our reputation is strong with the projects we have worked with, sans those that were vapor or were of professionalism concern.
We are where we are because of our relationships within the cryptocurrency community.  As such, their scrutiny is of utmost importance.




     Elucidated, let's look at the "Way Back Machine" and begin again.  Let's itemize each statement you submitted in auspice of defense.


"I think it is most important to make users feel safe."
  "Fear is the most basic human emotion we have.  Fear is primal.  Fear sells." -Max Brook

"I don't attack anyone."
  No, you are not nearly as aggressive as I have been toward you.  Please accept my sincere personal apology regarding my candor.  It has been unbecoming of adult business practice and lacking respect.
Your topics are divisive and whether this is the culmination of your life experiences that created a lens of which you are ignorant or if this is the result of ineffective manipulation tools is largely irrelevant.
I also don't care what comprises a bird watcher's motives.

  Crypto Play Radio defends its clients as if we were wearing the owner's name tag.  This applies doubly so to Qortal.  We do so because we believe in the standard we have set and govern ourselves by them, strictly.

"I'm just saying what I know."
  I concur.

"You mentioned my past reply post."
  I went far our of my way to phone in that all users should scrutinize your method of safety regulation and notification.  Call it what it is: I was obnoxious.


"So, I would also like to express my personal opinion on the posts you replied to in the past: do the shit coins you have been recommending to users or added to the mining pool still exist?"
  This is an great example of your altered view of the environment.  Crypto Play Radio is a service provider.  Payment due for services rendered.
How would Bittrex respond to this statement?

And yes, most of those "shit coins" are still in existence in some form or another.  Your myopia is showing.

"Everyone has a process of growing up."
  Of course they have.  Life is short, surreal and amazing you odd little flesh thing hurtling through the cosmos at speeds no one can truly visualize.  Growth continues throughout for all, albeit to varying degrees.  However when you post in this business forum, it is implied that you are grown and that your specific process of growth is under your control.  Check that excuse at the door.  We do and WHEN we do, we also put our past there.

"Don't judge others about the past."
  This statement truly was presented to the wrong person but that explanation is wordy and moot.
I judge by where they are going if I judge anyone, whatsoever.  Presuming to speculate what kind of human you are by your communication patterns is a dubious notion at best and an insult at all points.
Business constituents however, have no other criteria by which to evaluate your words than rigorous research of the product and/or what you have historically brought to the table.
And we both know that the average user's lack of willingness to do either is palpable.

It could even be conceived as exploitable.

   In contrast, Crypto Play Radio has built communities in this industry for nearly four years as a team and a family.  We have taken in the masses from dying coins and witnessed firsthand the birth of technologies and careers that will change history.





Modewei...

  Whether or not you accept this statement, I regard you as part of an "Elliott Wave".  You and I have met many times.  If saying this provokes any response sans dismissal, this is a topic of internal locus of control.  But that does not mean I personally don't want to know you, talk to you and remove you from the faceless statistical masses.


  You can find me in the Qortal voice Discord channel "Qortalk", based on my availability.  The text counterpart channel is "Qortalk Text".

Hello,

i have some qora coins.

Exist somewhere an wallet for qora? Running nodes of qora? Exist an Exchange where i can trade qora?
Or is qora dead?

Thanks

QORA is still running, I personally run a few QORA nodes to keep the network moving. I still personally like QORA...

There is no 'exchange' for QORA at the moment. However, seeing as it supports the CIYAM SmartContracts, there is no reason a trade between QORA and QORT couldn't be established in the future. (However, at this point there is no plan for such a trade system to be completed. The back end of both coins are capable of it.)

The original concepts of Qortal's taking over QORA, was to 'slowly transition QORA to Qortal' - this was done in a method that required NO PRE-MINE and NO AIR-DROP... done with 20% of every block's reward in Qortal, over a long period of time, until everyone who BURNED QORA BEFORE GENESIS, acquired 250/1 QORA/QORT. (250x less QORT than QORA held) But again, they had to have BURNED their QORA (sending to QORA Genesis account, prior to Qortal launch)


However, since it would seem you did NOT burn QORA prior to Genesis... there are two potential options for you...


1. If you had forged QORA during the time it was considered 'dead', you can import your QORA forging address seed, into Qortal... at which point you will be automatically rewarded with a pre-leveled account on Qortal. Depending on how many forged blocks you had.

2. If you did not forge QORA blocks, and didn't burn... your only other option is to become sponsored on Qortal, and become a minter... OR take advantage of the VERY LOW PRICES on the LTC/QORT Trade Portal, which is fully live now in Qortal.

In order to trade you will simply install the Core and the UI, get it synchronized (we have a bootstrap if you don't want to sync from 0) - go to 'wallet' - then LTC - copy your LTC wallet address, and fund that wallet.

Then go into the Trade Portal, find a sell listed on the chain, click it, and click buy. At which point a cross-chain trade between LTC and QORT will take place in 7 min and both coins will be confirmed on their respective chains.

If you would like to be a Qortal minter, you should join our discord (link at the top of https://qortal.org) and I will be happy to sponsor you.


[ANNouncement] - Qortal Core 1.4.1 auto-update approved.

We have pushed the auto-update transaction to the chain, everyone with their auto-updates enabled should be updating after they hit the update block and subsequent waiting period.


-This update will be a 'hard fork' for the AT processing code (to address a very rare scenario that came up regarding trades)

-Everyone will need to update PRIOR TO BLOCK 275000 if they have their auto-updates disabled.

Block 275000 will implement the new AT processing changes (version 1.4.1 will support both the old method and the new, but past that block, only the new will be accepted.)


Also, just so that everyone is aware...

We WILL have the ability to 'export xpriv' from the Qortal UI, in a future release...


You can already do it with accessing the UI via a browser, and issuing certain commands... so the argument about not being able to do this, is already flawed.


But... honestly... I still think that saving only your encrypted .json backup file, that then allows you access to your QORT/BTC/LTC wallet inside of Qortal, is the MORE SECURE way to do things.


That way you NEVER have any unencrypted methods to access your account. Be it LTC/BTC, or QORT.



But yea, I wanted to let people know that we WILL have the ability to export the xpriv for BTC/LTC in a future release of the UI...


If anyone would like to be able to do that NOW, let me know, and I will explain the process to you.


Qortal is going to be getting a LOT more attention, very soon. So now is the time to get in 'early' while you can still get the ridiculously low prices available now.
