I've loaded the client and made a few test transactions and naming assignments. In those basic tests it all seems to work fine with only cosmetic issues.
My question (to beta testers, fellow investors and potential investors, and qora) is, how can we verify that the code implements functionality like:
- prevent double spends
- uses PoS to achieve consensus, and prevent 51% (90%? 99%?) attacks
- prevent transaction replays
- prevent transaction malleability
- handle fork-related scenarios correctly
- ensure no new funds are generated after equivalent of genesis block
etc?
This is especially important as we have no access to readable code, and it is not based on any existing cryptocurrency code.
Also, related to the IPO:
- Will qora be distributed proportional to BTC invested (after 10%/20% early-invest bonus is factored in)?
- Are any qora funds set aside for other purposes (e.g. kept by dev for bounties), or will 100% be going to investors?
- Will the dev be investing directly or indirectly?
- Is there a plan for the BTC invested during IPO (e.g. earmarked for bounties, mintpal extortion fees, etc)?
