Just hypothetically, do you mind if I buy 20-30 million ORA in the AE exchange ?

Which 'you' are YOU asking? lol

I think there would be a range of opinions on whether it was positive or negative to have a big whale gobble up that many ORA now, but it's a FREE market, and obviously possible that someone with deep pockets might try.

The trading of ORA assets is separate from ORA technical development, and I'd have no objection, but that's just me. ORA is an experiment after all, and a big whale buy-up would make things interesting, but it probably wouldn't change things too much.

IMO the people with the biggest influence on ORA's future direction will be those who gain 'peer recognition' and respect from the community, and a big whale who stays in the background will have less 'influence' than an active person with good community standing, even if the active guy has a small stake.

Also, someone who starts with a small FREE stake could accumulate a large stake from 'power bounties' anyway, so a 'malevolent whale' probably couldn't do much harm. I raise the possibility of a malevolent whale, just because I know in the past you weren't very complimentary of (K)ORA, so maybe your hypothetical is exploring that possibility. Maybe you changed your mind on ORA, but maybe you haven't.

and open source,let people know it is not a clone,it is unique..

Open source it then we will know if it is a clone or not.

I can see why people want the source to be released. I personally would like to see the source, and also design information (such as a detailed description of the PoS algorithm), although I can also understand why it is still closed. But there is no longer any doubt about the "clone" question: it is definitely not a clone of Nxt, or any other established coin.

I don't really like Kora guys so I understand the closed source part. However without opening the source, no once can know how "innovative" the coin is. POS is common place and all features being implemented so far are of garden variety ones.

You plural = everyone. I prefer Qora to Ora but I don't mind making money with either. I think you have a correct approach and don't get me wrong because I like your attitude.
