ORA:: Development discussion thread

[start]

i agree with chirs try something new and please choose another name not Kora 

this name looks very good.don't change.

[Pentamon]

those logos, seriously...

i am having the same feeling about those logos.....

What feelings are those?

Can we not move the logo's to a section for logo design?
Some form of designer corner or logo design competition.

Ideas

1. Limit daily transfer set by user. X exceeding certain amount need more confirmation or extra security measures.

2. "Lock" balance. If you are planning not to use the funds for some time, lock it and to unlock it must follow steps from step 1 (extra security measure)

# extra security measure is what we need to think about, verification by email or mobile? Then will it still be called decentralization since now you can be tracked with email or mobile.number? Something to think about.

1+2 This would be awesome! Great idea.

#extra security: If it´s optional, why not.

I also think that these suggestions are great.
I know that not everyone is happy about the abilities and impact of biometrics, but what about leaving the option in for the user to decide which of multiple verification systems they are happy with?
This does not mean that the user could necessarily be tracked by others via their mobile number or whatever is used as an additional verification. I think of it as additional to the private key, and that could mean a second password, a cellphone text or sms, or even some biometric inputs.

Let security be our strength.

[Victorius]

you should negate everything that was ever critisized in history of crypto. Easy.

Good suggestion Pentamon! A logo thread might be fun too. Any logo will need to fit in with nioccoin's website, but we can at least make a start at getting some suggestions.

Yes, thanks for bringing that up.

As long as the logo is a square dimension, such as a*a, or a round logo, it will fit easily in to the website.  If we somehow end up with a rectangular logo or some oblong shape, which does happen, it will be more difficult to incorporate, but not impossible.  Also, make sure to design in a transparency layer format of some kind, or at least have the ability to export it with transparency.  I can read just about any major file format.

At this point we will just plan to keep the images sort-of generic, and the site design will be switch-selectable in terms of colour scheme.  For instance, the present colour scheme will almost certainly clash if we end up with the aforementioned starfish logo, so I'll try to keep the colours nimble.

kind regards,

I've read all of the security considerations thus far, and seen some good ideas.  Does anyone else have anything they would like to offer up as an idea for security?

What I'm looking for is sort-of a  scenario-based or experience-based issue that you've had.  Say you go to your bank to withdraw some money and.....

Everything that completes that sentence in a "bad" way is good material, and identifies a potential problem.  The good stuff  that happens is a potential feature idea.

Or, perhaps you use SomeCoin and when you use their wallet, it....

Again, whatever completes that sentence could be invaluable info.

I'll give it a bit more time, and then I'm going to release the plan.


This is not the end, just the beginning, and I expect this topic will get very hot much later on when we start getting into development, which is not atypical.  I'm just trying to take the community's pulse as-is at present, to get some idea about what direction you all wish to take this.

Kind regards,
nio

I am just thinking. You will have a passphrase that can be saved anywhere in a pc or paper or phone. So chances for a hacker to get those passphrase is still there, maybe not a very high chance but a minimal chance. But no doubt there is. So i am thinking, how if we add another lets say 3 characters that will act sorta "cvc" number on credit card onto withdrawal password additional to wallet passphrase. Something that you can remember and something you wont need to write down / save it anywhere else.

Yes. Make it a 3 or 4 character 'pin'.  I like the idea.

Another problem that I have, is that once in a while, while working with the NXT/NFD/NHZ passphrase in a copy-paste mode, I accidentally push the middle mouse button on the browser window, and there goes my passphrase to google!  Whoopey!  So much for the 'privacy' of that passphrase. Just look at the one-time google searches, you will find it...

Adding a part of the passphrase manually would be a  solution, I guess.

so good , when will be distributed?

[gvans]

Played a little with the starfish. I made it a little chunkier and gave it some motion and star-like qualities with heated nucleus

Very nice gvans! Put a purple border.

When can we expect updates from nio?

[xyzzyx]

Ora feature request: N of M multisignature accounts/addresses.  At the time of address/account creation, allow specifying an arbitrary M number of keys for an account with an arbitrary N number of signatures where N is of the set {1 .. M}.

The idea is to allow an account's funds to be spent only once N keys have signed the transaction.

(Emulating Bitcoin multisig would involve a M of 3 and a N of 2, for example.)

If this is implemented, it would allow easy integration with the Nxt Multigateway service.

Can we develop Ora from scratch, not a clone of Qora?

That is possible, but so much great dev work has already been open sourced (e.g. bitcoin, NXT, Ripple), and I think it's wise to review all those projects first, and then develop a road map for ORA. Where we end up is unknown at this time, but as this project develops I think it'll be less likely that ORA is a straight clone of Qora. Once Qora is open sourced we should review it and use the parts of it that are useful. In the end we will be guided by nioccoin, and all those who join with him!
