QORA dead now?
Haven't heard about it in ages now... the protocol still sound? Or has it busted?
My knowledge about Qora is a little bit out of date but from what I understand, Qora was on two exchanges (or three if you count ShareXcoin which turned out to be a scam). These were Bter and Poloniex. At first, Poloniex had issues with their wallet which remained unfixed for months despite the owner busoni asking for help from the Qora dev and the community. During this time, nobody could withdraw their coins. Finally, they decided to disable all deposits and withdrawals and wait until the problem was fixed.
While this was happening, Bter also suffered a major hack. Obviously this was another big blow for Qora.
The Qora dev also scaled back his involvement with the community. Last time I checked, another team called Automated Transactions had taken over development and they were planning on integrating AT functionality into Qora and another altcoin called BURST. Qora was already open source by then.
A quick scan of their official thread
here shows that a new wallet version was released on April 6 so it looks like development of the coin is still ongoing.
EDIT: Looks like they have a new thread and a new dev team too. Not sure if it's the same AT team who is developing the coin or if another team has taken over:
