If we do end up giving the original stakeholders a top up from the left over stakes I think our only option is to use the original stakeholder list. If somebody chose to sell their stake early it doesn't change the fact that they were an original stakeholder. If a non-stakeholder buys a lot of ORA assets before the vote it doesn't change the fact that they weren't an original stakeholder.
My understanding of the NXT voting system is ALL ORA asset holders would be eligible to vote, even people who weren't original stakeholders but bought ORA on the NXT AE from early sellers.
It would be nice to be able to vote asap, but we don't have any control over when the NXT voting system goes live.
Bytemaster says he can help you clone btsx, whether to consider cloning btsx it? I think it would be more valuable.
My personal opinion would be guided heavily by the attitude of our lead dev, nioccoin, but I must admit this option does sound like a very interesting avenue to explore!!
DEV,You should consider clone BTS not QORA
1.BTS use C++,it's better than java
2.We don't know when and how will QORA release the resources
3.We have a strong community and BTS have a long term development map.this is win-win
4.In my opnion,BTS is better than QORA
Thanks for your input.
1. I never wanted to clone Qora for the reason that the native JVM has known issues with real-time data. I prefer C++ over Java, but could do either.
2. Yes, Qora's open source timeline is fraught with issues. Besides the unknown release date, there is a break-in period during which devs tear the code apart looking for security issues and other problems. That could take days or weeks. Once the code is OS'd, the blackhats will have their turn to rip it to shreds and sink the ship. I'm not a fan of closed source in the crypto space, but I understand the motivation to keep the IP close to the devs for a little while anyway.
This brings up an interesting discussion which is: presuming Ora brings some fantastic innovation to the table, what would the community prefer to do with that innovation?
a) Keep the intellectual property closed, thereby protecting the IP.
b) Keep the IP closed for a short while, thereby protecting the IP until Ora is too far ahead for copycats to catch up to it.
c) Open it up for all to see (and copy with abandon), thereby risking Ora's innovation right at the start (or strengthening its innovation by subjecting the code to strenuous public review).
As for what to use for a clone, presuming we don't write it from scratch, I'm not sold out on BTS or any other coin base to clone at this point. But since you brought it up, what do you see that makes BTS better, or the best coin to clone?
