Today Announcement on QORA official discord channel by @crowetic


@here - the process for finaliizing the underlying platform details for qortal platform, is underway. Will be going over the details with a few of my close contacts first, then presenting the finalized version in a paper for the community. Once we have consensus amonst the community that the ideas are solid, we will be presenting them to cat, for development.

basic ideas are:
- The chain, starts at block 0 without a doubt. No pre-mine, No dev fund (unless community decides to create one and there will be methods for that) and no anything that doesn't fit within the 'rules' that I have always gone by for all coins I end up fully supporting. Any sort of ICO, pre-mine, or acquisition of coin prior to the launch, is forbidden in my mind.

- users who run nodes, stake QORA chain, and keep it moving, will be given Minting accounts on the new chain. These accounts will be assigned a 'leveling system', whereas the minting accounts will 'level up' similar to an RPG. The level will be representative of the 'influence' of that particular account in regard to 'voting' on the platform, for overall platform development, direction, and various other proposals.

- The non-staking users on QORA, A.K.A. 'holders', who have control over their own private keys, will be given a portion of the overall block rewards of the platform, paid to the users weighted based on the QORA they held. An overall percentage of the block rewards will be divvied out to these users, every block.

- Wallets of both poloniex, and OpenLedger, are to be completely banished. Since they have decided to screw the community, no way will their coins be allowed to obtain coins on qortal. Apologies for those of you that have lost coins on either of these platforms, please reach out to me directly if you would like to, and we can chat.

(this by no means, guarantees anything at all, I will simply discuss things with you and we will go from there.)

other info

- There have been recent introductions to a couple new developers who are keen to assist qortal in multiple ways. This includes assistance with the finishing of the qortal trade portal.
- The trade portal itself, will not be 'live' at launch, the idea first, is to get the underlying network in place, nodes running, and the chain moving and getting stronger, prior to releasing the portal itself.
More information will be coming as we figure out more of the platform details, etc. But I'm feeling very happy about the way things are going at the moment.
