Re: Qortal Blockchain Project - LTC cross-chain market NOW LIVE! - v 1.4.0
by
CryptoNick
on 29/01/2021, 09:02:30 UTC
I tested out the latest UI and Core and the trade with LTC was successful and very fast! Fee was in Litecoin as if I just sent coin to another wallet with no trading fee to pay.

The fact that I can buy any order I want is the greatest thing crypto needs right now, manipulation by exchanges and hacks have taken their toll on the average users.

I found out that the only reason why people can't list a BUY on the Qortal Trade Portal is due to LTC not having the capability on their chain, which shows Qortal is superior to all other crypto!

Looking forward to seeing more trade pairs soon!

Linux is also a much better option. NTP Time is off on your node.

Just new here so i have newbie question. How this network protects from 51% attack? It's not POW, POS.  How this "‘prove yourself as a full node and online’" looks in real life?

All Minters sign blocks that is proof they are online. There is no way to tell who is signing vs who is making a block until the block and TX is accepted by all nodes. From what I saw there are Zero Confirmations too so it is fully unhackable. I saw on discord that they consider the 1 block a confirmation. Most coins must lock coins for multiple confirmations so this would mean Zero Confirms the way those Crypto operate. Seeing that Qortal is different it may not even adhere to Normal standards and I hope to learn more.

So if you send a TX it is going to be written to the next block. Unless it is a Free Chat TX that never gets Confirmed and drops after 24 Hours. Great way to implement something and not bloat the Chain!

The sentence irritates me a bit. Aren't almost all blockchains based on an SQL or relational database?
With a blockchain that runs on a SQL database, we can easily support applications utilizing the chain, or a separate 'asset chain' that is launched by any person/group wishing to, with its own set of 'rules' goverened by the 'groups' system on the chain.
[/quote]

Sure, but other Crypto has a rigid structure. You can Parse the data for BTC into an open source SQL but it will only reflect what each static block represents. That is a limitation utilizing the foundation of any crypto built this way, as a clone is stuck with the parameters of the way it stores its data.

Qortal is not a Clone of anything, not even Qora. Qortal is built from scratch by a CAT with some very sharp claws!

The database for Qortal is SQL and open to all applications to utilize. So you have a base that embeds the Crypto portion and a hash link to an open structure to build on top of for any application to be made. Qortal states this is Phase 3, but the framework is there inside HSQLDB. The devs had it up to 7Million rows as a test but lowered it due to blockchain size. Although, this means that an App may utilize this function locally and store data off chain but link to a hash on chain to verify and secure the data.

If your website is stored locally and references hash on the chain it can not be hacked to change any App that you serve. Couple this with encryption and the database you serve locally is also secure. Unhackable content! The framework would be an App that is downloaded so only TX needs to be sent and no personal data goes across the internet to top it off. Host stores locally and client stores locally TX back and forth on Chain.

How do we get the seed from the old Qora wallet?

I've tried

[COMMAND] GET wallet/seed

and

[COMMAND] GET addresses/seed/<address>

but only get

[RESULT] {
  "@type":"long",
  "value":7
}

If your address is QYbNCSCMGwXcdVoPd6CPZNS5DiiJ7K6JqK, to find out your Qora address seed
you would paste this into your browser: http://127.0.0.1:9085/addresses/seed/QYbNCSCMGwXcdVoPd6CPZNS5DiiJ7K6JqK
Don't use "localhost" as it seems old qora client can't handle IPv6/dual-stack.
Don't use the qora client's console as it has a bug if your seed starts with a digit

Of course you need the QORA client running and synced. There may be a dialog pop up that you need to click Yes to continue.

Also, If you're running Windows, then you can try this:
1. open a command prompt, e.g. by pressing Windows key  & 'R' then typing "cmd", might also work in PowerShell
2. type in this command: bitsadmin /transfer myDownloadJob /download /priority normal http://127.0.0.1:9085/addresses/seed/QYbNCSCMGwXcdVoPd6CPZNS5DiiJ7K6JqK %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\my-address-seed.txt
Obviously replace QYbNCSCMGwXcdVoPd6CPZNS5DiiJ7K6JqK with your own qora address
and you can replace %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\my-address-seed.txt with somewhere else to save the seed, e.g. C:\ if you don't want to save it into your "Downloads" folder

March the 15th. 2020 and still not even a sign of activity Wink i wouldn't be suprised if qora would get listed on some exchange  Grin Grin after so many of uzs burned the coins that could be profitable for someone  Grin Grin Grin Grin
All kinds of things are going on, looks like the Devices were delayed but they came up with a perfect new concept... You can Level your account prior to Genesis. You can test the network and Mint coin that will be zeroed during Genesis but keeping the levels. Allowing to wait for the devices to show up, and also until they are 100% confident major bugs have been squashed. Looks like they found a few major issues and within days of finding they had them fixed. Very Impressive development! I will wait another year with no complaints due to the fact that they allow you to level UP and gain more coin during genesis. It is really a smart way to launch and this also allows more people to get involved and also Burn Qora.

We will be pushing out the pre-launch software within a couple more days, there were a few things that came up that needed to be dealt with first. Stay tuned.

Will we need to create new private keys if we purchased a device?

If you have Qora private keys you don't need new keys. I read that the QORTector has the Mint level pre-enabled for each.


Thanks for the information,  sounds nice and easy!
Yes, and if you have Qora you don't need to be a Node to get it just import the keys. I saw screenshots and it looks very easy and straight forward. The nodejs does all API locally from what I have learned, and the 12 word phrase or seedphrase would be encrypted in a local file that you create a password on, so even if you use a weak password for the File someone would need the file plus the weak password to ultimately gain access. No need to remember a long phrase but you can use that to get your account back as a backup and do a personal encryption on it by adding fake words only you know the positions of.

Did anyone investigate the other coins that forked BTC? Those could be liquidated on the forked chain.

Also there may be another reason that the coins didn't move. Take the coins off the market in order to pump BTC after the fork. Leaving many traders without capitol to leverage against them.

If that is the case they made much more than what is sitting in that address. Think of all the profits that were taken on Cryptsy alt pumps and dumps insider trading that they wrung out BTC with and nobody will look at that coin and where it went.

Was anyone able to withdraw their Qora from poloniex?
Nope not a chance and now that Polo has shut out US Customers it is highly unlikely, but also won't matter at that point as that coin can't transition after 1/1/2020. Qortal has to start up, sooner the better, and anyone who had coins on Polo can get their investment back now by Minting, and now OWN a portion of a Decentralized Trade Portal on top of a Decentralized Network. Create your own Box or Buy one and Mint or load it on a computer of your choice and participate. You might get more coin than you had on Polo anyways at this point and it will take a while for Qora holders to top up also and you might end up ahead of where you would have been even with your Polo Qora.

when last date to burn QORA?
01.01.2020 is the launch date,before it.

is it official?


The launch of the Phase 1 of the platform, is being pushed back by 1 month, to the date 01.01.2020 (Jan 1, 2020).
Please see details/ reason from this below link.
https://qortal.org/index.php/2019/11/28/qort-launch-push-back-01-01-2020/

I think that dead line of QORA's burning will before 01.01.2020.

Crowetic should announce that major change here himself. It's a big shake up with less than 12 hours to go before the original burn deadline.

It is official 1/1/2020 is the date.

Is it possible to test QORT node in testnet right now? It would be good idea to be sure that all will work properly.
That should be coming out soon, they do have one running and showing stats. A few people on discord tunneled in and got to preview. From what I read in discord it will auto update source too now and they are working on being able to port your mint levels to different accounts. Incredible amount of work being done!

However, becoming a minter on the QORT chain is going to be relatively simple and 'quick' at first, until the necessary steps and time are increased as the platform grows...

So, even those who for one reason or another miss the transition burn date, will still be able to become a minter during initial phase 1 of the launch, and start earning QORT in that fashion.

As the launch continues, and the next phases are completed, earning QORT in multiple other ways, and other accounts capable of leveling for larger reward and influence will be implemented.

What are the requirements for using a minting account?
I mean could it be possible to mint from a local home PC with this account without having a static IP address?
What about VPS , would it be secure enough to setup the account on a remotely hosted VPS and mint from there?


This 5W device not only contains a ton of off-chain function, tor gateway, and extremely secure wireless router, but also will be pre-setup with QORT, and all other services, allowing you to run a low-power device as your minting account, thus being rewarded without having to run a full computer, and staying online by simply keeping the device connected to the internet. Whether you use it as your actual router or not, you can make use of all of the device's functionality.

Is it required for the device to be plugged into internet the whole time?
Is it required to have a static public IP address when using a device to mint?
I ask this because lot of internet  service providers do not offer static IP or they charge a lot for obtaining one.
In case the users are not owning a static IP they get disconnected at least once within 24 hour period an the IP changes then.

Can you tell me more about shipping?
Are you shipping this devices from US worldwide?
I ask because in this case there could be a requirement to pay some customs tax which could actually double the price of your
device when purchased (shipped) outside of US.

Thanks.

Yes you need the device plugged in to the internet the entire time. I think you have some downtime allotment though.
You can use a VPS for sure. Any computer will work too. The qroTecTor box is just the most efficient with preinstalled images and extra dev stuff to speed up the box.
No need for a Static IP as you just need to reach the peers to Mint and show you are online. Tor would make this irrelevant.
They ship worldwide from what I have read. Customs are unavoidable, VPS would be a better scenario at that point.

a quantity qora l want to sell. Interested PM. Please give fair price. my opinion is minimum 40-50 sat for qora. BTC

What is a fair price for a coin that has been dead for years and is not traded on any stock exchange? To be honest, the fair price is 0 at the moment Wink May change in the future, but everything is uncertain.
Just curious,any nodes running now?
if not,how to transfer for trading? Roll Eyes

I do not understand whether there are nodes running or not now, I also do not understand what the devs are doing to leave the coin like this. Undecided

Qora nodes are running, so Qora works fine, just no exchanges due to the fact that Qortal will become a Trade Portal and Polo de-listed pump n dump style. It is one of the major points of the project, to not rely on an exchange to secure your coin. 
Qortal nodes have yet to start other than testnet. Why would the devs leave it this way? Cuz they didn't push the start button yet.
Use Qora Wallet to send Qora to burn address.
Import Seed from Qora Wallet into Qortal when it goes live to gain Qort on the new chain at 250:1

Don't forget to Grab a Minting account prelaunch if you are so inclined, and Grab a cool drink pre lunch if you are so reclined!

Ok...so I'm trying to grasp this.  I have my qora, I send it the address Crowtec has listed, then how or where is the record of account and what do I get back for sending the Qora to the Qortl wallet address?   Is there a simple step by step process of exactly how this is supposed to work.  Sorry...but I'm a bit nervous of just sending my Qora to a wallet address I don't know...and I'm not clear of the EXACT steps this is going to happen.

Thanks for any help!

The burn address in Qora will become part of the Genesis block of Qortal. That will represent an unsendable token of Qora in the Qortal chain, which translates to Qort in the Qortal chain. Each new block of Qort you get a share until you are topped up at 250:1. This will take a while, like a savings account. This is all done on the New Chain so burning the coins on the Old Qora chain is necessary to get on the new Qortal chain. Totally decentralized as all agree they leave the old Qora chain, so it is NOT like BTC Cash where both wallet coin totals exist and give dividends, had there been a live exchange and a way to get them out of old Qora that is.
