As we are heading to the release of v0.23 I would like to raise some thoughts regarding the current situation.
As you know, we have pushed forward the whole environment of Qora with additional features, driving Qora to a new direction.
However, we are facing some issues, issues that I would like to explain below.
The major concern and the most effective problem we are facing is the weak network that we have.
Qora is not used, daily transactions are limited to less than 50 (most of them are from the faucet) and the connected nodes are getting fewer and fewer.
Major forger remains an exchange and holders seems that they have forget about Qora.
That's obviously a big concern for us, working and spending efforts on something with zero effects is not good.
We are not easily identify issues, we do not have guidance or recommendations by the users and we are not seen growth.
Those facts will become obstacles for future deployments and we have to figure out how we will proceed.
We have a solid team, we have boosted development and keep on experimenting on Qora by bringing new set of features each time.
This weakness of the network needs to be solved immediately, so we have to focus on this.
By measuring what we have bring into Qora we know what is needed to be done in the future to achieve a better environment for Qora.
A web wallet, a not so heavy GUI, a better management for the blockchain's size, a rating system for content stored, a better "cloud" for your files, a better web to browse, a better network to socialize your life.
But as long as we see those obstacles by the network, along with our priorities in real life, we cannot easily proceed furthermore till we have a clean ground to play.
So, our first priority right after the release of the v0.23 is to seek for support.We are reviewing many possible scenarios for the day after the release.
We will finalized the v0.23 in the next days and then it will be released.
