Re: Qortal Genesis - The Infrastructure for the Internet of the Future
If you READ, you might be able to figure out the answers you seek... as they are ALL There.
Apologies if the 'olympic-wallpaper' (as if that's actually a thing) size OP is 'too many words' for your brain to comprehend... I will spell it out for you...
Well, since you clearly need things spelled out specifically for you, here goes...
You see? There is no way I can give you whether we are PoW or PoS, since we are NEITHER. If you READ, you will see that. IF you refuse to read, you may interject with comments like this, and prepare for my responses.

Here is some expose:
I am not even questioning the technical validity of the project- it seems interesting to me, and I have seen a lot over the last 7 years I have been in the crypto space (incl. the original QORA and its decline) - how could I, I haven't looked unde rthe hood, but on first impression it looks like worth watching.
Neither am I in principal not willing to get into the technical nitty gritty of things.
My point is the style of presentation which is not done in a very comprehensible manner even for those skilled in the art (and don't reduce it to PoW vs PoS)
And, on inquiry, your response, which displays a scathing l33t-Geek arrogance of tech dudes so much in love with their own competence on their high horse that they expect everybdoy else to simply .. get it, or else be deemed of inferiour mental capacities..
Again, nothing about tech, but of presentation and style of community building, many a good tech has failed for not good community culture.
Still early, so you might want to reconsider your attitudes
Oh, come to think of it: I started looking for a whitepaper in the OP, and the longer I scrolled the more I felt being swamped with not very well structured minutiae and detail, so I did indeed not read the whole OP from first to last line, as you correctly assumed, because I was looking for a WP and a few concise points describing the whole thing.
Crowetic has been working on this project for +4 years, paying the devs out of his own pocket afaik too, I think it's fair to say he's balls deep on this project - financially, time commitment, emotionally - the genesis was literally today, it's a really promising project, one of the best I've followed since I started with crypto in 2013. If he sounded a bit prickly about your feedback on the announcement, try and cut him some slack, this is a BIG moment in his life, a significant achievement to get this far and launch a genuinely innovative new platform, I think he will take any help he can get with marketing & communication in the future, Qortal is very community focused, core principles of decentralization, the stuff that excited most of us that got into crypto in 2012-14.
Thank you for the support. Yes, I have been funding privately as well as leading the development, etc.
I come off as I come off, I mean nothing by it. I simply state facts. The facts are, your answers are in the post. (@original replying guy)
Yes, of course there is a LOT of info... this is a MASSIVE project. Even getting to the point I could actually relay the information without confusing everyone was difficult. We will improve as time goes on.
I don't care much for flashy nonsense, I care for facts.
